The dispute between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie over their French winery escalates. Brad Pitt made serious allegations against his ex-wife. She is now fighting back.
Hollywood is threatened with the next public mud fight: Brad Pitt had already filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife Angelina Jolie in February. It’s about a right of first refusal that Angelina is said to have failed to comply with when selling the joint winery. A few days ago, Pitt supplemented the existing documents in court. The additional documents submitted are intended to prove that Angelina Jolie’s statements are not true.
Brad Pitt is suing his ex-wife Angelina Jolie
Background: In 2008, the couple bought the Château Miraval winery in southern France. They also celebrated their wedding here in 2014 and spent several vacations. In 2016, Jolie filed for divorce. She had previously received clearance to sell her share of the joint winery before the divorce was finalized. The winery has grown in value over the years to $164 million and has made a name for itself in the field of rose wine with the “Miraval Rosé” on the international market.
Jolie sold her shares, but Brad Pitt doesn’t like it. She disregarded his right of first refusal. But this is nowhere written down. However, there are said to have been verbal promises of this right of first refusal. Another point of his lawsuit: Pitt alleges that Jolie acted maliciously in the selection of the buyer.
His legal team is now claiming that Jolie acted illegally and willfully breached their agreement. The sale to the company “Tenute del Mondo” is said to have taken place secretly behind Brad Pitt’s back. “Jolie attempted to force Pitt into a partnership with a third party. And worse, a stranger with toxic connections and intentions,” Pitt’s attorneys wrote in the letter. Pitt now fears a hostile takeover of his wine company by Yuri Shefler’s Stoli group.
Brad Pitt wants a jury trial
In documents filed with Los Angeles County Superior Court last Friday, the 58-year-old alleges that Jolie intentionally “attempted to harm him” by selling her stake in the wine company because winery is his new passion and he is authoritative contributed to its success. He is now demanding a jury trial.
A source close to Angelina Jolie told People magazine: “Brad Pitt’s lawsuit against Angelina Jolie is a continuation of false allegations and the truth of the story has still not been made public. Following the events leading up to Jolie’s… After filing for divorce and spending the next several years raising her children, she and the children were unable to return to the estate, so she made the difficult decision to sell her stake after making several offers to her ex-husband. ” The source adds, “It is unfortunate that Brad Pitt is embroiling her in multiple lawsuits after she gracefully and legally exited the business.”
