The actress had filed some documents in the court on March 12, 2021, in which she had claimed that she has "proof and authority" to support her allegations of domestic violence against her ex-husband. A source had also told HollywoodLife.com, "This deliberate leak of this information is to no one's benefit and is simply the continuation of an ongoing relentless effort to target and tarnish Brad.

Hopefully, some sanity will prevail in the future." (Also Read: Eddie Murphy Opens Up About Fatherhood And His 10 Kids, Reveals That His Children Are His Priority)
