Angelina Jolie has filed court documents accusing her ex-husband Brad Pitt of “looting” the Provence vineyard they formerly owned together.In a new court document filed on Monday (July 10) by Jolie’s former investment company Nouvel, it accuses Pitt of attempting to retain control of Château Miraval in southern France by “stripping” its assets and spending millions on “vanity projects”.In the document filing (via CNN), it reads: “Pitt wasted the company’s assets, spending millions on vanity projects, including more than $1million on swimming pool renovations, building and rebuilding a staircase four times, and spending millions to restore a recording studio.”Pitt and Jolie previously bought the country estate and winery together in 2008, with each owning 50 per cent of the property and its profits. Jolie, who filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, later sold her stake in 2021 to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler.This prompted Pitt to file a lawsuit against Jolie’s sale of the estate in February 2022, deeming it “unlawful” because the pair allegedly agreed neither would sell the property without the other’s consent.Jolie filed a countersuit in response denying there was any agreement and claiming she sold her half to have some “financial independence” from her ex-husband.In the new court filing, attorneys for Nouvel claimed Pitt had “acted like a petulant child” following the sale of Jolie’s portion, demonstrating “increasingly outrageous actions to retain control”.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s legal battle is far from over, now that the actor has accused his ex of seeking to intentionally harm the wine business they co-owned together since 2008 in the South of France, as she is selling her part of the business and he is not happy about it.The Hollywood actor is suing Angelina for selling her stake in Château Miraval, which was previously bought for 25 million euros, detailing that they previously agreed they would not sell their half without permission of the other, making it a “violation of the parties’ agreement.”Pitt described Jolie’s buyer, who is Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, as “a stranger with poisonous associations and intentions,” stating that he does not approve of her actions.He also explains that the actress has “contributed nothing” to the business he “carefully built,” growing it into a “multimillion-dollar international success story,” and he claims that the sale has launched a “hostile” takeover.The legal documents also state that “Through the purported sale, Jolie sought to inflict harm on Pitt,” adding that “Jolie knew and intended that Shefler and his affiliates would try to control the business Pitt had built and to undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval.”The lawsuit states that the new buyer “has gained notoriety through cut-throat business tactics and dubious professional associations” and making the sale would jeopardize “the reputation of the brand Pitt so carefully built.”And while Angeline has yet to respond, Pitt described the success of the business in the lawsuit, declaring that “though she benefited from Miraval’s success, Jolie had no involvement in these efforts.”
