DECLARATION OF TONY WEBB

 1 DECLARATION OF TONY WEBB

2 I, Tony Webb, declare as follows:

3 1. I am currently the owner of SRS Global Security Ltd. (“SRS Global”), a personal

4 security company based in London, England that I founded in 2006. Prior to that, I was a member

5 of the United Kingdom’s Royal Marines between 1979 and 1984, where I actively served in the

6 Falklands War and three tours of Northern Ireland. In 1985, I joined the British Army’s Special

7 Air Service (“SAS”), where I served as a corporal, sergeant, and chief instructor. I retired from

8 the SAS in 1995, with the commendation of an “exemplary record,” which I understand to be the

9 rough equivalent of retiring with an honor of valor from the Department of Defense in the United

10 States. Thereafter, I joined the private sector and later founded SRS Global. Attached hereto as

11 Exhibit 1 is a copy of my curriculum vitae. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth

12 herein, which are known by me to be true and correct, and if called as a witness, I could and would

13 competently testify thereto.

14 2. Between 2000 and 2020, I provided varying degrees of personal security for

15 Angelina Jolie and her family, and I currently provide services for Brad Pitt. In the early years of

16 my working relationship with Ms. Jolie, I provided these services through a company called Task

17 Force Security. After I founded SRS Global, I provided my services through that company, and I

18 hired independent contractors, typically former military personnel, to assist me.

19 3. My work with Ms. Jolie began as individual assignments, typically on movie sets.

20 In or around 2012, however, my work for her increased and I began running security for her and

21 the family whenever they left the United States. My working relationship with Ms. Jolie also

22 evolved in other ways. Initially, I took instruction either directly from her or from her then-

23 personal assistant, a woman named Holly. Later, in the mid-to-late 2000s, I was introduced to a

24 man named Michael Vieira who assumed a similar role for Ms. Jolie, and Mr. Vieira began

25 providing me and my team with instruction and direction on behalf of Ms. Jolie. This sometimes

26 included Mr. Viera telling me to present people with non-disclosure agreements on behalf of Ms.

27 Jolie and obtain their signatures. For example, Mr. Viera often asked me to provide hotel staff

28 with non-disclosure agreements and to get signatures from them.

2
DECLARATION OF TONY WEBB
 1 4. At some point after Mr. Vieira became Ms. Jolie’s point-person for communicating

2 with me about security services, Ms. Jolie, through Mr. Vieira, required me and my independent

3 contractors to sign our own non-disclosure agreements to prevent us from discussing various

4 personal and professional details of her, and her family’s life. I would have no problem if my

5 non-disclosure agreement with Ms. Jolie were publicly disclosed.

6 5. Based on my close contact with Ms. Jolie’s family, including Mr. Pitt, I became

7 aware that Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt were divorcing in or around 2016. After their divorce, SRS

8 Global and I continued to provide security for Ms. Jolie, Mr. Pitt, and their children.

9 6. Shortly before two SRS Global contractors testified in a court case that I

10 understood was related to Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt’s divorce and the custody of their children, Mr.

11 Vieira called me on my cell phone. At the time I received the phone call, I was in my home office

12 located in Hereford, UK. During the call, Mr. Viera told me that he had heard that two contractors

13 who had provided personal security for Ms. Jolie through SRS Global might be testifying in the

14 family court case. Mr. Vieira then asked me to stop these two individuals from testifying. I

15 understood that Mr. Viera was making this request on behalf of Ms. Jolie. I explained to Mr.

16 Vieira that I had no power to stop them because they were independent contractors and not

17 employees of SRS Global. Mr. Vieira then told me that his call should serve as a reminder that

18 those individuals had entered into non-disclosure agreements with Ms. Jolie and that I should

19 remind them of that and tell them that if they testified in the family law case, Ms. Jolie would sue

20 them. I communicated this message to the two individuals over the phone and they both told me

21 that they planned to testify. One of the two individuals, Ross Foster, specified that he intended to

22 testify regardless of the NDA, if he received a court subpoena. When Mr. Foster told me this, he

23 also told me that if asked, he would testify about statements he overheard that Ms. Jolie made to

24 the children, encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits.

25 7. I received a second phone call from Mr. Vieira shortly after the first, asking me

26 whether Mr. Foster and the other individual about whom we had previously spoken were, in fact,

27 going to testify. I told him that I believed that they were. Mr. Vieira once again asked me to

28 remind them that they had signed non-disclosure agreements, and that if they testified, Ms. Jolie

3
DECLARATION OF TONY WEBB
 1 would sue them. Mr. Vieira also stated that Ms. Jolie may need to subpoena me to testify, though

2 I never actually received a subpoena.

3 8. I understand that Mr. Foster and the other individual mentioned above were, in fact,

4 subpoenaed, and that both did, in fact, testify in the Jolie/Pitt family law case.

5 9. On June 13, 2021, Terry Bird, Ms. Jolie’s business manager, wrote to inform me

6 that SRS Global was terminated from its role of providing personal security services for Ms. Jolie,

7 and, effective that date, my services and those of SRS Global were “no longer . . . required.”

8 10. On June 16, 2021, I wrote an email to Ms. Jolie, thanking her for the work she had

9 provided to me and SRS Global over the prior two decades. I also wrote that I was sad that we

10 had become distant over the past few years, and that I knew she blamed me for what my

11 independent contractors had done, but that because they were self-employed, I could not control

12 what they did or said as they were not directly employed by SRS Global. Ms. Jolie responded

13 “Take good care. As ever. Angie.” That was my last communication with Ms. Jolie. A true and

14 correct copy of that exchange is attached as Exhibit 2 to this declaration.

15 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

16 foregoing is true and correct.

17 Executed May 7, 2024, at Hereford, United Kingdom.

Hi Angie,

I decided to write to you directly as I didn't think it would be right just to accept the brief termination
letter from Terry and walk away after 20 years with you and your family.

I know it has been a very difficult time with everything that's been going on, and sadly we seem to have
become very distant over the past couple of years. The lack of travel because of the virus not helping!

I know you blame me for a lot of things Ross has subsequently done, but he didn't work full time for me,
he is a self employed security consultant and so is free to work for whoever.
This is the same as for the rest of the guys. I can't control what they do or say, when not directly
employed by my company.

In regards to the guys, I'm glad you have decided to continue with Matt Fletcher's services, as he is one
of the best security consultants I have had the pleasure to employ and work with over the years.

Please take care and love always,

Tonyx
