Pitt & Jolie's Winery War Rages On!
1 Jun
Summary
- Brad Pitt secured a win in a Michigan court deposition ruling.
- Jolie's 2021 sale of her winery stake to Tenute del Mondo is contested.
- Several of the former couple's children have dropped the Pitt surname.
The protracted legal dispute between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie shows no signs of abating, with their divorce proceedings and the ownership of Château Miraval remaining contentious.
A Michigan court recently ruled in favor of Pitt, compelling Todd Culyba, former general counsel for the Stoli Group, to provide further deposition testimony. This ruling is tied to Jolie's 2021 sale of her share in the French winery to Tenute del Mondo, a company associated with the Stoli Group. Pitt alleges that Jolie sold her interest without his consent, violating a supposed mutual agreement, a claim Jolie denies.
This Michigan decision follows a separate California ruling where a judge rejected Pitt's request for confidential emails related to the winery sale, citing attorney-client privilege. Pitt's legal team is also navigating a trademark dispute over his skincare line, Beau Domaine.
Adding to the personal fallout, several of their children, including Maddox, Shiloh, Zahara, and Vivienne, have reportedly taken steps to distance themselves from the Pitt surname. The enduring legal entanglements suggest the post-divorce conflicts will persist for years.
