The court records were obtained by PEOPLE, and come from the couple’s legal battle over the ownership of the French winery they purchased together, Chateau Miraval. The location served as their family retreat over the course of their relationship, with the two hosting their wedding there in 2014.

In a 12 page statement acquired by the publication, Tony Webb, the owner of a security company, claimed that an aide for Jolie named Michale Vieira called him to dissuade two bodybuards that have worked for Jolie from testifying in courts. “During the call, Mr. Vieira told me that he had heard that two contractors who had provided personal security for Ms. Jolie through SRS Global might be testifying in the family court case,” said Webb. “Mr. Vieira then asked me to stop these two individuals from testifying.”

Webb said that he couldn’t stop individuals from testifying. He claimed that one of them, Ross Foster, told him he’d testify if he received a court subpoena despite having signed an NDA for Jolie. “When Mr. Foster told me this, he also told me that if asked, he would testify about statements he overheard that Ms. Jolie made to the children, encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits,” said Webb.
