      Gordon Ramsay’s £13m pub taken over by squatters with brazen gang even threatening to take legal action against TV chef

      by

      A GANG of squatters has set up home in telly chef Gordon Ramsay’s swanky £13million pub.The brazen invaders have even slapped a legal notice on the outside of the Grade-II listed building, threatening action against anyone who tries to force them out.Gordon Ramsay is seething after squatters broke into his chic £13million boozer — and left it looking like a dog’s dinnerCredit: GettyAn occupier sleeps amid the trash at the Ramsay’s pub in LondonCredit: Andrew StyczynskiThe occupier is crashed out on a leather sofa near the bar of the chic York & AlbanyCredit: Andrew Styczynski – The SunRamsay helped turn the former coaching inn into swish pub and boutique hotelThe gang, said to be made up of at least six “professional squatters”, used Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances to barricade themselves in and have glued shut the locks.Photos show the swanky bar area of the venue — which had been temporarily closed for a handover — resembling a tip, with debris sprawled everywhere and a squatter crashed out on a leather sofa.Ramsay, 57, was about to sign over a multi-million pound lease to new partners when the gang broke in to the York & Albany pub and boutique hotel near Regent’s Park, central London.The TV chef — who was embroiled in a legal battle over the venue back in 2015 — called the police last Wednesday but has been unable to remove the squatters from the 19th-century building.Read More on ShowbizLast night a source said: “It’s an absolute nightmare scenario for poor Gordon.“The pub was temporarily closed whilst he was finalising a new lease, and during this handover period a gang of professional squatters somehow bypassed all the security and CCTV, and got themselves in.“They’ve now boarded themselves in the building and are slowly taking over the place, leaving their crap everywhere and brazenly telling locals this is now their home.“They’ve glued tight all the locks and are cooking up a storm in the kitchen, which is especially galling for Gordon.”Most read in CelebrityThe source said there were at least five men and a woman there, adding: “Some are crashing on sofas, but others have taken over the beautiful bedrooms. God knows the damage and filth.“Gordon called the police on Wednesday and is trying to secure an eviction notice, but it’s proving an absolute nightmare.Inside Gordon Ramsay’s VIP Rangers vs Celtic experience as Gers-daft chef returns ‘home’“It’s increasingly hard to forcibly remove these people.“Gordon is at the end of his tether. Not surprisingly, a few choice words have been said.”Yesterday, one squatter was seen sleeping barefoot on a couch in the bar area while wearing a hat, coat and trousers.Another slipper-clad occupier was scrolling his smartphone.Scattered around were a pair of crutches, a Sainsbury’s bag for life, tobacco, plugs, empty water bottles and wine glasses — with a blue sleeping bag dumped on another sofa.A cat climber and dog toy were also visible, while kitchen equipment was seen on the floor at the back of the venue.One squatter, wearing a blue hoodie, knee compression bandage and sliders, refused to comment when approached by The Sun.The man — who had two black eyes with a cut above one — said: “I’m under no obligation to speak to you. Have a good morning.”He asked for our reporter’s name but refused to give his own. He pulled out a phone and was heard talking to a woman who warned him not to speak to us. He then began recording and hiding around the back of the building.At one point, he was heard saying on the phone: “They’re just trying to provoke me.”The York & Albany pub and boutique hotel near Regent’s Park, central LondonCredit: Darren FletcherA robed man on the grounds of the pubCredit: Andrew StyczynskiWhen we said he was staying there illegally, he replied: “Is this strictly necessary?”The squatters have placed a bike lock on a metal gate leading to the hotel. They have also slapped a legal notice on the front door, saying they are entitled to stay there as it “is a non-residential building”.They claim that the law which prevents squatting is not applicable because it “was NOT designed or adapted, before the time of our entry, for use as a place to live”.Incredibly, they then threaten legal action, suggesting that if anyone tries to enter “by violence” they could end up in jail for six months.They warn: “Take notice that we occupy this property and at all times there is at least one person in occupation.“That any entry or attempt to enter into these premises without our permission is therefore a criminal offence as any one of us who is in physical possession is opposed to such entry without our permission.”That if you attempt to enter by violence or by threatening violence we will prosecute you.“You may receive a sentence of up to six months’ imprisonment and/or a fine of up to £5,000.”The note, signed by “The Occupiers”, also warns: “If you want to get us out you will have to issue a claim for possession in the County Court or in the High Court.”Film director and actor Gary Love bought the freehold of the derelict former coaching inn in 2007 from the Crown Estate. He then leased the premises for 25 years to Michelin-starred chef Ramsay, and it was transformed into a hugely successful boutique hotel and restaurant.Gordon is at the end of his tether. Not surprisingly, a few choice words have been saidSun sourceThe former stables became a wood-fired pizza oven space, and customers could sip cocktails on the zinc-topped bar.The lions and tigers at nearby London Zoo could also reportedly be heard at night by diners on the sprawling roof terrace.However in 2015 Hell’s Kitchen star Ramsay was embroiled in an unsuccessful legal battle over the premises after trying to free himself from the lease. A judge ruled he must personally pay £640,000 in rent arranged by his father-in-law Christopher Hutcheson, who Ramsay had sacked five years before.Hutcheson was accused of using a “ghost writer” machine to sign Ramsay’s name on a legal document. The chef’s wife Tana even dramatically testified against her father at the High Court.She stated she had made the “extremely distressing” discovery that her father — and brother Adam — had been “systematically defrauding” her husband.Hutcheson, 75, had been chief executive of Ramsay’s restaurant empire. But he was fired in 2010 after private detectives hired by the telly chef found he had hacked into his personal business files and withdrew £1.42million.The families reconciled but Hutcheson, who was said to have a mistress amid a “very complex life”, was jailed for six months in 2017.READ MORE SUN STORIESLast night the Met confirmed: “Police were made aware of squatters at a disused property in Parkway, Regent’s Park, NW1 on Wednesday, 10 April.”Squatters are viewed as a “civil matter” so police did not attend.The brazen legal notice on the door from ‘the occupiers’ warns they can stay putCredit: Andrew Styczynski More

      OJ Simpson trial ‘tore apart’ Kardashian family after Kim’s lawyer dad Robert brought her to court as he defended star

      by

      KIM Kardashian spoke about the brutal aftermath of the infamous OJ Simpson trial on her family years before the disgraced athlete died following a battle with cancer.Kim’s father, Robert Kardashian, was a close friend of Simpson and was part of his legal defense team when Simpson was charged with the double murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.Kim Kardashian said the OJ Simpson trial tore her family apartCredit: NetflixHer father, Robert Kardashian, was part of Simpson’s legal team during his trial for double murderCredit: AFPKim said she and her sister, Kourtney, were torn between their parents who had chosen a different side during the trialCredit: InstagramMeanwhile, her mother, Kris Jenner, was Nicole’s best friend and believed Simpson committed the murder.In a 2020 episode of David Letterman’s Netflix show, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Kim revealed that the trial “tore my family apart.”Kim and her older sister, Kourtney, were teenagers at the time and were torn between which divorced parent they would side with.”We didn’t really know what to believe or whose side to take as kids, because we didn’t want to hurt one of our parents’ feelings,” she said.”It tore my family apart, I’d say, for the whole time of the trial.”Decades after the “trial of the century,” Kim said she’s tried not to publically share her thoughts on whether or not she believed Simpson was innocent.”I’ve never expressed how I’ve felt about that because I just respect his children,” she told Letterman at the time.After the case, Kim’s father, who died from esophageal cancer in 2003, expressed doubts over Simpson’s innocence and eventually cut all time with him.Most read in EntertainmentHe added that if he had known that he and his family would have received death threats for their involvement in the case, he would have never taken it on.’NOT FUNNY’However, in 2021, Kim was slammed by Nicole’s sister, Tanya, over a “distasteful” joke about Simpson during her opening monologue for Saturday Night Live.Kim, who was studying to be a lawyer at the time, mentioned her father during the monologue. She said: “My father was and is still such an influence and inspiration to me and I credit him with really opening up my eyes to racial injustice. OJ Simpson dead at 76: Infamous ex-NFL great acquitted of killing wife and her friend in 90s dies after cancer diagnosis”It’s because of him that I met my first Black person. Want to take a stab in the dark at who it was?”I know it’s sort of weird to remember the first Black person you met, but OJ does leave a mark. Or several! Or none at all. I still don’t know.”Tanya told TMZ that the jokes related to her sister’s death were in “poor taste” and “beyond inappropriate and insensitive.”Because of Kris’ history with Nicole, Tanya argued that Kim should’ve gotten rid of the jokes in her monologue.THE JUICE IS GONESimpson’s family confirmed that he died surrounded by his children and grandchildren in Las Vegas at the age of 76.”On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer,” a tweet from Simpson’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter.OJ Simpson’s football careerOJ Simpson played for 10 years in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers from 1969 to 1979.
      After starring in college for the University of Southern California in 1967 and 1968, he was drafted No 1 overall by the Bills in 1969.
      Simpson spent nine of his 11 seasons in western New York and was named NFL MVP in 1973.
      He was also a five-time Pro Bowler and led the league in rushing four times.
      The former running back had two seasons with the 49ers before retiring in 1979.
      Simpson scored 75 touchdowns during his career – 61 rushing and 14 receiving.

      “He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.”During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”TRIAL OF THE CENTURYNicole Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found brutally stabbed to death outside Nicole’s condo in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.Simpson learned of the murders while on a business trip to Chicago and returned back to Los Angeles, where he was eventually taken in for questioning by police.Before he was officially arrested, Simpson fled from Robert Kardashian’s home and led police on an infamous chase along the Los Angeles freeway while riding in the back of a white Ford Bronco driven by his friend, Al Cowlings.He was eventually arrested and charged with the double murder in one of the most widely publicized events in US history.Simpson was represented by a high-profile defense team, dubbed the “Dream Team” which included Robert Shapiro, Robert Kardashian, Alan Dershowitz, and Johnnie Cochran.Cochran coined the phrase “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit,” after Simpson’s hand didn’t fit into the blood-stained glove found on his property the day he was arrested. The defense argued that the DNA evidence in the case wasn’t properly handled by lab technicians and claimed the Los Angeles Police Department tainted the investigation.READ MORE SUN STORIESOn October 3, 1995, after less than four hours of deliberation, a jury found Simpson not guilty of two counts of murder.However, he was found liable for the deaths in a civil case brought by Nicole and Goldman’s families in 1997.Kim said she respected Simpson’s children too much to share her thoughts on his innocenceCredit: GettyBefore his arrest, Simpson led cops on an infamous police chase in Los AngelesCredit: CorbisRobert Kardashian Sr. died from cancer in 2003Credit: Instagram More

      P Diddy’s spoiled sons wore gold crowns for star-studded sweet 16s before ‘sex assault’ & shooting ‘cover-up’ scandals 

      by

      THEY live in a £30m mansion, enjoy exotic holidays, drive high-end sports cars, and dream of being Hip hop stars like their famous dad..Rapper P Diddy’s sons Christian and Justin Combs are so privileged they wear gold diamond-encrusted crowns and are treated to lavish 16th birthday parties attended by celebrities like singers Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim.Justin Combs enjoyed a lavish 16th birthday with ‘date’ Nicki MinajCredit: GettyBut the family’s kingdom could come crashing down as all three men find themselves in legal trouble.Son Christian, 26, – known as King – faces claims of sexual assault while partying on a yacht chartered by his dad in December 2022, just days before Diddy held a star-studded New Year’s Eve party aboard the vessel, attended by the likes of rappers Joe Budden and Travis Scott.His half-brother Justin, 30,  faces allegations he and his dad covered up the shooting of a pal  in a Los Angeles recording studio in September 2022.The brothers were also briefly handcuffed and detained as part of a raid by Homeland Security agents on 54-year-old P Diddy’s Los Angeles estate in March, amid a slew of sexual assault allegations against the star, including trafficking young women.Read more P DiddyThe family have hired ex mobster John Gotti Junior’s former lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman to investigate the ‘excessive use of force’ in the raids.Lichtman has previously represented Gotti, acting boss of the Gambino crime family in the 90s, as well as drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, who led the international crime syndicate, the Sinaloa cartel.P Diddy’s ex, R&B singer Cassie Ventura accused him of rape and a decade-long campaign of abuse after she signed to his label, Bad Boy Records, in 2006.  Diddy, whose real name is Sean John Combs, settled the case out of court the day after Cassie filed her lawsuit.Most read in CelebrityUsher recalls seeing ‘very curious things’ at Diddy’s house when he was 14 after feds raid rapper’s propertyThe claim against Christian comes from yacht hand Grace O’Marcaigh, 27, who was hired for “a wholesome family excursion” that, she says,  turned “hedonistic”.She claims to have witnessed the Combs family party with a “constant rotation of suspected sex workers” who were taking drugs.In a lawsuit, Grace claims drinks, including hers, may have been spiked and that Christian pressured her to do tequila shots before groping her legs, breasts, bottom and private parts.There is allegedly audio recorded by music producer Rodney Jones – known as Lil Rod – in which Grace tells Christian to stop touching her legs.P Diddy with son Christian at the Met Gala in 2018Credit: GettyJustin Combs and his brother enjoy enviable lifestylesCredit: Instagram/princejdcChristian Combs, with a pal, flies on a private jetCredit: Instagram/kingcombsThe legal action was filed by attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who represents Lil Rod.Jones claims the music mogul repeatedly sexually assaulted and groomed him for sex  from September 2022 to November 2023.He also accuses Diddy, once known as Puff Daddy, and son Justin of a “massive” cover up of their involvement in a shooting.Lil Rod claims that the rapper or his son shot Justin’s friend, identified only as a 30-year-old named ‘G’, in a recording studio bathroom after a row.  It’s said G has since vanished.Jones claims he heard multiple gunshots after a “heated conversation” in the toilet before Combs and Justin walked out of the bathroom.He says he found G lying on the floor curled up, holding his stomach and bleeding out of his leg or hip area.Jones alleges that P Diddy  instructed him to tell police the rapper had nothing to do with the incident – and that G was hit by a drive-by assailant outside the building.P Diddy’s legal team have denied all the allegations against him and his sons.My dad is my best friend – he pushes me to be greaterJustin CombsLawyer Aaron Dyer said the claims against Christian were “lewd and meritless” adding: “This complaint is filled with the same kind of manufactured lies and irrelevant facts we’ve come to expect.”Lil Rod’s lawyer Tyrone Blackburn was recently criticised by a New York judge for improperly filing lawsuits in federal court in an attempt to garner “sensational headlines.”Prince Harry was horribly dragged into the case when Lil Rod claimed Diddy’s “affiliation” to the royal and other stars gave him and his associates ‘legitimacy’. There was no suggestion Prince Harry did anything wrong – or had any knowledge of wrongdoing by others.Justin’s mum, acclaimed stylist Misa Hylton, was left furious after her son was handcuffed during last month’s raid on P Diddy’s home.She shared footage on Instagram saying: “Enough is Enough!! Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms pointed at his chest?? Did Christian need a gun pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed?? How many times have we seen young UNARMED BLACK MEN not make it out of these types of situations alive??”Christian’s mum, model Kim Porter, died of lobar pneumonia, aged 47, in 2018, and the family faced cruel fake speculation that P Diddy was somehow behind her death – even after a coroner ruled she died of natural causes.Crown princesP Diddy’s children have led a luxury life mere mortals can only dream of.They spent their childhood’s bouncing between P Diddy’s  £30 million Beverly Hills mansion, £10.7m home in Alpine, New Jersey, and  £2.9m place in East Hampton.They drive top-end cars and fly around the world in private jets.Christian, who goes by the name King, signed up to Diddy’s record label when he turned 18.Bad Boy Records, founded by P Diddy in 1993, is one of the most successful hip-hop and R&B labels in the world, with multiple platinum and gold releases by the likes of the Notorious B.I.G, Faith Evans and Janelle Monae.Christian is also a model, securing a deal with IMG last year, and in 2018 walked for Dolce and Gabbana.He is fond of wearing crowns – as is brother Justin – and in 2018 paired a gold headpiece with a jewel-encrusted suit for the Met Gala.In 2014, Diddy threw Christian a ‘Swervin’ 16’ party at an exclusive Los Angeles nightclub where performers included Kendrick Lamar and French Montana.  The guest list included stars like Khloe Kardashian and singer Faith Evans.Justin Combs, who once co-hosted TV show The Catfish,  had an even bigger sweet 16 celebration at a New York club in 2010 where his dad arranged for Nicki Minaj to be his ‘date’.He was introduced to the crowd when red drapes lifted to reveal him sitting on a throne wearing a gold crown while dressed in a Dolce and Gabbana tux with Adidas shelltoes.The lavish affair was featured in season 9 of MTV series My Super Sweet 16 with rappers Lil’ Kim and Trey Songz in attendance.What is P Diddy accused of?P Diddy has faced a slew of claims which include:

      Cassie, Diddy’s longtime girlfriend, sued him in November 2023, claiming she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until their relationship ended in 2018. Diddy and Cassie settled the suit the day after it was filed.
      Diddy was hit with two more lawsuits a week later. Joi Dickerson accused Diddy of drugging and raping her and filming the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
      A second accuser in a separate lawsuit claimed that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at her apartment and beat her several days later.
      Diddy was sued again in December by a woman who claimed he and two men gang-raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.
      In February 2024, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.

      Supercars at 16P Diddy bought him a £240,000 Mercedes Benz Maybach motor, despite the fact he hadn’t passed his driving test.Last year Justin avoided jail time after being found driving under the influence in Beverly Hills.He was given three years probation after running a red light.Brother Christian drives a red Ferrari and was involved in a crash with a Tesla in 2020 but luckily escaped unharmed. Both boys have gushed about their dad.Christian credits P Diddy with his sense of style and work ethic.He said: “We’re alike in a lot of ways, especially our work ethic.  Every day you gotta keep progressing. If you get nothing done, then you’re backtracking. My dad actually helped me with waking up early, he gets on at me about that.”Justin said his dad is “always motivating me and pushing me to be greater”, adding: “It’s crazy because it’s like my dad but also my best friend at the same time.

      Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh ‘wants to move in with Brad Pitt’ as insiders wonder: will toxic battle ever end?

      by

      ANGELINA JOLIE was all smiles when she stepped out with her mini-me daughter Vivienne this week but, behind the scenes, her grip on the Jolie-Pitt brood is beginning to wane.The six children have been living with Angelina, 48, in her £20million Los Angeles mansion following her bitter break up from ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60.Angelina Jolie is all smiles as she steps out with daughter VivienneCredit: TheImageDirect.comBut daughter Shiloh reportedly wants to move in with dad Brad PittCredit: BackGridIt is the latest incident in a very toxic Brangelina breakupCredit: GettyBut insiders now claim Shiloh wants to move into her dad’s £6million mansion in Los Feliz, California, when she turns 18 next month.The revelation will be a huge blow to Angelina, in the drawn-out toxic battle between the exes since their split in 2016, which is one of the worst celebrity break-ups Hollywood has ever seen.It has left showbiz observers wondering if it will ever end.Especially after Brad recently branded her a ‘hypocrite’ during a bitter legal battle over their French vineyard The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé, following Ange’s sale of her $64million (£50 million) share to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler in 2021.READ MORE ON BRANGELINA SPLIT‘Unconscionable NDA’Brad previously slammed her decision to sell her half, saying she was forcing him to partner up with “a stranger”.Despite its commercial value, Miraval holds sentimental value for the Bullet Train actor.One major legal battle involves French vineyard The Chateau MiravalCredit: XposureAnge sold it to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler, far left, back in 2021Credit: Rex FeaturesBrad Pitt claims he was ‘bullied & threatened’ by Russian tycoon in $350 million vineyard battle against Angelina Jolie“Pitt and Jolie purchased the château as a home to share with their children and the vineyard as a family business,” his lawyer said.“They agreed they would never sell their respective interests in Miraval without the other’s consent.”Most read in CelebrityJust days ago, the bitter row hit the head-lines again after sources close to Brad blasted Angelina for filing explosive court documents.Angelina’s lawyers said: “While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well.“Jolie then immediately left him.”During that notorious flight, Angelina sensationally claimed Brad grabbed her by the head and shook her before striking two of their children when they tried to intervene. Brad was even accused of pouring beer and red wine over them.Now Angelina is claiming that she walked out of earlier talks to sell her stake of the winery to Brad for $54million (£43million) because he had tried to coerce her into signing an “unconscionable” non-disclosure agreement in an attempt to “control her”.But Brad’s camp hit back, alleging that she routinely enforced similar confidentiality agreements on her own staff.His legal team filed a motion at LA Superior Court on Friday asking Angelina to disclose other NDAs she entered into with third parties, which could undermine her defence. The NDA Jolie was asked to sign is a standard business contract designed to protect the asset being sold, in this case her stake in Chateau MiravalInsider close to Brad PittThey argued that Angelina’s objection to the NDA was merely a smokescreen to “rationalise” her betrayal of him.“This case isn’t about what took place on a plane in 2016,” an insider close to Brad said.“It’s about whether they had an agreement not to sell their interests in the winery and family home without the other’s consent.“That’s what Brad and his team are focused on, and so far the legal momentum has been on their side.“The NDA Jolie was asked to sign is a standard business contract designed to protect the asset being sold, in this case her stake in Chateau Miraval.“It’s unclear why she finds this so unconscionable when her own lawyers suggested a mutually binding gagging clause as part of their divorce just a few months later.”But Angelina’s legal team claim they possess evidence regarding “Pitt’s pattern of physical abuse within the family and his exertion of control over Jolie,” alleging that the kids are still suffering “significant and ongoing post-traumatic stress”.Lawyers representing the Tomb Raider actress cite a “pattern of abuse, manipulation, and concealment” and claim she has damning “testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence” that, they argue, will unravel Brad’s argument if the case proceeds.The court documents characterise the actor’s denials of physical abuse as “gaslighting” and claim he exercised “coercive” financial control over her throughout their winery dispute.Brad has consistently refuted all allegations of physical abuse and faced no charges following an FBI investigation into the incident aboard the flight.The pair met in 2004 on the set of Mr And Mrs Smith, while Brad was still married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston.When Brad and Jen filed for divorce, he quickly moved on to a romance with Jolie, fanning the flames he’d cheated on Jen.While Brad emerged from the scandal relatively unscathed, Angelina was seen as temptress who stole Brad.They dated for ten years before they tied the knot at the Miraval estate in 2014 — six years after purchasing it.Angelina wore an Atelier Versace dress embroidered with dozens of designs from her children’s drawings for her wedding to Brad.Brad and Angelina as Hollywood’s golden couple back in 2009Credit: GettyAngelina with kids Maddox, Vivienne, Knox, Shiloh and ZaharaCredit: GettyBut, less than two years later, Hollywood’s once golden couple filed for divorce.In April 2019, a judge awarded Brad 50/50 custody of their six children Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, during their acrimonious divorce. A decision that reportedly enraged the actress.“She will never forgive him,” a source close to Angelina said at the time. “She maintains it’s far from over and still believes that justice will prevail.”Angelina has told of how her children ‘saved’ her.“I was 26 when I became a mother,” she said. “My entire life changed. Having children saved me — and taught me to be in this world differently. “I think, recently, I would’ve gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them.”During the aftermath of the divorce, Angelina reportedly sold her share of the winery to Shefler – a Russian business empire owns the Stolichnaya vodka brand.According to Brad’s lawyers, this decision violated an agreement between the former spouses that Angelina would give Brad the opportunity of first refusal.Having children saved me — and taught me to be in this world differentlyAngelina JolieBrad’s lawyer, John Berlinski, argued in recently filed legal documents, seen by The U.S. Sun, that any non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) Angelina had imposed on other parties would provide insight into the validity of her reasons for withdrawing from negotiations to sell her stake in Chateau Miraval to Brad.“The scope, terms, and subject matter covered by the NDAs that Jolie has signed or asked a third party to sign are probative of whether Jolie truly withdrew from the negotiations with Pitt because of the NDA he requested, as she asserts,” Berlinski wrote.“By way of example only, if Jolie has required others to sign NDAs that were at least as broad as the one she claims was so ‘unconscionable’ here, it would severely undermine her claimed excuse for terminating negotiations with Pitt and covertly negotiating with Stoli.“Nor is the existence of these documents speculative.READ MORE SUN STORIES“Jolie adamantly refuses to produce the many other NDAs that she signed or requested from others during the relevant time period, along with related documents, presumably because she knows they will severely undermine her defenses.”While we don’t know the outcome of the court case yet, the Brangelina bullet train doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.
