London
(ANI):
Angelina
Jolie
and
Brad
Pitt
have
sued
The
News
Of
the
World
newspaper
for
publishing
false
reports
about
the
couple
signing
a
divorce
deal.
The
paper
had
claimed
that
the
pair
had
decided
to
separate
and
had
agreed
the
division
of
assets
and
custody
of
their
children.
Their
lawyer,
Keith
Schilling,
described
the
allegations
"widely
republished
by
mainstream
news
outlets" as
"false
and
intrusive,"
reports
the
BBC
News.
He
added
the
publication
had
failed
to
meet
"reasonable
demands"
for
an
apology.
Also,
Sorrell
Trope,
who
was
identified
by
some
publications
as
a
divorce
lawyer
advising
Pitt
and
Jolie,
has
clarified
that
he
hasn"t
met
the
couple.
He
said
in
a
statement
presented
from
Schillings
Lawyers:
"I
have
had
no
contact
from...
Angelina
Jolie
and/or
Brad
Pitt."
He
added:
"I
have
never
met...
your
clients
or
had
any
involvement
with
either
of
them.
The
foregoing
is
true
with
respect
to
all
other
members
of
this
firm."
The
News
Of
The
World
had
alleged
last
month
that
Pitt
and
Jolie
had
agreed
to
a
205-
million-dollar
split
deal.
