Brad Pitt has hit back at the claims his ex-wife has been making about his failure to pay ‘meaningful’ child support, during their bitter and messy split.
Dailymail.com obtained documents that revealed lawyers for the 54-year-old heartthrob are claiming that Pitt has paid over $9million to Angelina Jolie.
The filing also accused Jolie’s claims to be ‘a thinly-veiled effort to manipulate media coverage’. It went on to say that he loaned his Maleficent star ex $8million ‘to assist her in purchasing her current residence’. He has also paid ‘over $1.3million in bills for the benefit of [Jolie] and the minor children.’
Brad’s lawyers say Angelina’s claims that he’s withheld child support are ‘calculated to increase the conflict.’
Angelina, who has just pulled out of the Peter Pan and Alice In Wonderland prequel Come Away, made comments, through her lawyers on Tuesday, that her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, hasn’t paid ‘meaningful’ child support for 18 months.
Jolie’s lawyer said, ‘As of present, [Pitt] has paid no meaningful child support since separation,’ Samantha Bley DeJean wrote.
The actress-turned-director alleged her third husband has not been meeting his financial obligations and has demanded the court force him to pay up.
