The legal battle between ex-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt appears to be far from done, as the two continue to battle for their French firm in the south of France.
Brad’s attorneys have filed a fresh lawsuit against Angelina about their vineyard, accusing the Oscar winner of purposely damaging the business.
The Hollywood stars purchased a majority stake in Miraval, a French firm that comprised a vineyard and estate in the south of France, in 2008.
According to the June 3 filing, “Pitt and Jolie purchased the chateau as a home to share with their children and the vineyard as a family business,”
“They agreed they would never sell their respective interests in Miraval without the other’s consent. The couple spent the holidays at Miraval with their children and were married there in 2014.”
The complaint claimed Brad did not assist Miraval become a “multimillion-dollar global business and one of the world’s most highly regarded producers of rosé wine.”
“Jolie, meanwhile, contributed nothing to Miraval’s success,” Pitt’s lawyers alleged. “Instead, she allowed Pitt to pour money and sweat equity into the business in reliance on the consent right she owed him and a right of first refusal her business entity owed his,” according to the statement.
Pitt and Jolie began dating on the set of the spy thriller “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” in 2004.
Three years after filing for divorce, the former couple were both pronounced single in 2019. The couple’s offspring are Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 13.
