Angelina Jolie files a billion dollar lawsuit against Brad Pitt

Actress Angelina Jolie filed a $ 250 million lawsuit against her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The action is motivated by the alleged mismanagement of a winery the couple bought in the south of France in 2008, a reaction to a previous lawsuit by the actor.

Jolie’s defense claims the plaintiff “took possession” of the property in retaliation for the divorce, while Pitt’s team says they are devaluing the business to sell the property.

The “Chateau Miraval” winery belonged 50% to Pitt and 50% to Jolie, and was partly registered under the name of a company called Nouvel. According to information from the Page Six website, the trial includes documents proving the split of While Jolie was responsible for managing the duo’s humanitarian projects, such as the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, Brad Pitt was in charge of French affairs.

In October last year Jolie sold her shares to the Tenute del Mondo group, part of the Stoli Group, which holds the famous Masseto and Ornellaia wines in its portfolio.

At the time, Pitt tried to cancel the deal. He ended up filing a lawsuit against the actress to cancel the sale of the property in June of this year.

The plaintiff’s lawyers then reacted with this new lawsuit against the plaintiff.

They claim that Pitt now “has barred Nouvel from Château Miraval and treats it as his personal manor” and “has wasted his possessions, spending millions on vanity projects, including more than $ 1 million on pool renovations and other funds. to restore a recording “.

The lawsuit claims that Jolie would have negotiated for months with Pitt’s team to sell him her half of the cellar, but she “made a last-minute request for onerous and irrelevant terms, including a provision intended to prohibit Jolie from speaking publicly about the events. “which led to the breakup of their marriage”.

According to the document, Jolie was unwilling to accept the “silence clause” and instead sold her stake to Tenute del Mondo.

People magazine quoted a source close to Pitt about how the actor viewed the trial.

“This is just the latest in a series of deliberate efforts to deflect, recycle and reposition the truth about what has happened over the past six years, thinking that reasonable people would be fooled by these obvious misrepresentations,” the source says. “It’s hard to figure out how leaving a legacy of 40% of something is better than 100% of something, and it’s just as inexplicable how continuing to revisit the same points over and over can be beneficial to this family.”

Ironically, it was in the large green area of ​​Château Miraval that the former spouses exchanged rings, in a simple ceremony, in 2014. Two years later they separated and are still fighting in court over several differences, including custody of children.
