LONDON — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have begun legal action against a British tabloid that reported the celebrity couple was going to split, a lawyer acting on their behalf confirmed Monday.
Keith Schillings, of London-based Schillings lawyers, said in a statement that the couple had begun legal proceedings against the News of the World, Britain’s highest-selling newspaper.
He said the newspaper had made “false and intrusive allegations” when it reported Jan. 24 that Pitt and Jolie had agreed to separate and to divide assets worth $320 million and had made arrangements regarding the custody of their six children.
