Pitt & Jolie's Winery Trial: Estate Enjoyment at Stake
7 Apr
Summary
- Pitt wants a swift trial to enjoy his French estate again.
- The couple disputes the start date for their winery trial.
- Witness availability raises concerns for timely proceedings.
The legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie over their French winery, Chateau Miraval, is escalating as they clash over trial dates.
The couple, who jointly purchased the estate while married, is entangled in a dispute where Pitt accuses Jolie of selling her stake without consent. Jolie maintains she did not require his approval.
The trial is currently scheduled for February 1, 2027, but Jolie has requested a postponement to November 2027. Pitt is amenable to a two-month delay but objects to the extended postponement.
Pitt argues that the delay deprives him of the "quiet enjoyment of his home in France" and fears the winery's business has been "stymied by the dispute." He also expressed concern that key witnesses, including Jolie's former business manager who has passed away, may not be available for a later trial.
Jolie, however, dismisses Pitt's claims about his inability to enjoy the estate, stating there is "no evidence" his home life has been impacted. She contends that Pitt initiated the complex lawsuit with international witnesses.
