“By their nature, Pitt’s Requests activity to intrude connected Jolie’s privacy,” says Jolie’s caller filing. “The Requests activity contracts betwixt Jolie (or immoderate of her entities) and immoderate different personification aliases entity. Most, if not all,
of these agreements will beryllium employment-related contracts that see Jolie’s compensation aliases compensation she paid to 3rd parties.”
The documents besides argue, “These 3rd parties person their ain privateness rights, and Pitt is not giving them immoderate announcement whatsoever to let them to protect their rights.”

The papers besides state: “Pitt wants to reason that Jolie entered NDAs pinch others, truthful location was nary harm successful Pitt demanding an NDA to screen his abuse. But location is simply a basal and evident difference: In nary of those different NDAs was Pitt trying to soundlessness maltreatment of his ain family. The Court should not validate this vulnerable argument. This lawsuit will beryllium decided by grounds concerning Miraval and nan dealings betwixt Pitt and Jolie — not by Jolie’s dealings pinch 3rd parties connected topics having thing to do pinch Miraval’s sale.
