The legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie over their French estate has taken a new turn. The former couple, who divorced in 2019, co-own the Chateau Miraval, a sprawling property that includes a vineyard, a castle and a lake. The estate is valued at over $60 million and produces award-winning wines.
Pitt recently filed a lawsuit against Jolie, accusing her of trying to sell her 50% stake in the estate without his consent. He claims that they had an agreement to maintain the property as a joint asset until their children reach adulthood. He also alleges that Jolie is attempting to cut him out of the deal by transferring her share to a company that she solely controls.
Jolie’s lawyers have responded to the lawsuit, calling it a “thinly-veiled attempt” to draw attention away from the ongoing custody dispute over their six children. They argue that Pitt has no legal basis to prevent Jolie from selling her interest in the estate, and that he is trying to interfere with her right to dispose of her own property. They also claim that Pitt has failed to pay his share of the expenses for the estate, and that he is in breach of their divorce settlement.
The dispute over Chateau Miraval is likely to add more tension to the already acrimonious relationship between Pitt and Jolie, who have been locked in a bitter custody battle for years. The two stars have not reached an agreement on how to share the custody and visitation of their children, who range in age from 12 to 19. Pitt has been seeking more time with his kids, while Jolie has accused him of domestic violence and substance abuse.
The case is expected to go to trial later this year, unless the parties can reach a settlement out of court. Meanwhile, the fate of Chateau Miraval remains uncertain, as the former couple continue to fight over their assets and their children.
