Pitt Sues Jolie for $35M Over Château Miraval Sale
6 Nov
Summary
- Pitt sues ex-wife Jolie for $35 million in damages
- Dispute over Jolie's 2021 sale of her stake in their French winery
- Pitt claims Jolie violated prior agreement on Miraval ownership
In a continuing legal battle over their shared assets, actor Brad Pitt has sued his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for $35 million in damages. The dispute centers around Jolie's 2021 sale of her stake in the French winery Château Miraval, which the former couple co-owned.
According to court documents filed in October 2023, Pitt, 61, claims Jolie, 50, violated a prior agreement by selling her share of the winery to a third party without his approval. Pitt's legal team has submitted communications between the two parties, including a November 2023 email from Jolie's lawyers acknowledging the $35 million in damages Pitt is seeking.
The legal battle has escalated, with Jolie filing a countersuit claiming Pitt has been "waging a vindictive war" against her. She has also asserted attorney-client privilege in refusing to provide certain documents, which Pitt's team argues is an improper withholding of information relevant to the sale.
The case is scheduled for a public hearing on December 17, 2023, and the ongoing dispute is the latest development in the former Hollywood power couple's bitter divorce proceedings, which have been ongoing since 2016.
