Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Suing News of the World Over Breakup Story

Submitted by Erica Bowen on February 8, 2010

LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are suing a London newspaper that claimed they were headed for a breakup.

The couple's lawyer, Keith Schilling, confirmed Monday to the BBC that Pitt and Jolie have taken legal action against the News of the World. The lawsuit stems from a January story in which the paper claimed the couple had met with a divorce lawyer and reached an agreement over the dividing of their assets and custody of their six children.

Schilling called the "widely republished" allegations "false and intrusive." The attorney said the suit was filed after the News of the World failed to meet "reasonable demands" for an apology.
