Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have instructed libel lawyers to block the release of a tell-all book about their lives by their former bodyguard Mickey Brett, the New York Daily News report. “Recently we obtained a proposal for a memoir and a TV show, both offering Brett's first-person account of his years guarding the likes of Sandra Bullock,
Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sly Stallone and Richard Gere,” the paper writes. “The main focus of the pitches, though, was Brangelina. Suffice it to say that Brett had fond memories of Jolie, whom he had been protecting since 2001, and less fond recollections of Pitt.” The couple’s American litigator, Marty Singer, has called Brett a “pathological liar” who has claimed to have been a former SAS commando, despite having never served in the army, been convicted of 11 different crimes and unable to discuss his time with the Jolie Pitt’s due to a strict confidentially agreement. "Our client disputes what has apparently been said by Mr. Singer, but is not in a position to comment further at this stage," An attorney for the bodyguard told the paper.
