When Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Sued A Tabloid For Publishing The Story Of Their Separation

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are two names that we hear often. They were once one of the most popular and gorgeous couples in Hollywood. Their fans have been invested in their relationship since the time they got together till their separation and even after that. It is obvious that Hollywood’s favourite couple’s separation came as a shock to everyone.
However, there was this one time when a British tabloid had published a rumour about their split which caused the couple to sue the publication.

Brad and Angelina met each other for the time on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004. Since then, the couples sparked many rumours until it was made official that they are dating and eventually got married. Back in 2010, Pitt and Jolie sued British tabloid ‘News of the World’ over a story that alleged the pair had split up. The story by the tabloid claimed that the pair who met on the sets of the film Mr & Mrs Smith visited a divorce lawyer and agreed to divide up their $286 million fortune and the custody of their six children.

Keith Schilling, the London lawyer of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made a statement back in 2010 and said, “The News of the World has failed to meet our clients’ reasonable demands for a retraction of and apology for these false and intrusive allegations which have now been widely republished by mainstream news outlets. We have advised them to bring proceedings, which they have now done.”
