Secondly, the author states that Brad Pitt has filed documents refuting Angeline's claim she walked away from an agreement to sell her share of the winery because he insisted she sign a strict NDA. However, these documents only state that there was no such agreement and do not provide any evidence to support this claim either. Thirdly, the author states that Brad Pitt has asked for other NDAs signed by Angelina Jolie and others to be handed over in order to prove there is nothing especially bad about the one he proposed.
