Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, formerly Hollywood’s ‘It’ couple, are now embroiled in a nasty divorce battle after the former filed for divorce in 2016. The conflict is escalating over their ownership of a French winery. Jolie and Pitt purchased the Chateau Miravel estate while still married, and in 2021, the former sold her holdings and was sued by the latter for allegedly doing so incorrectly. Brad Pitt previously sued Jolie for selling her share to a Russian billionaire, accusing her of “enriching herself” & “deliberately damaging” him in court records. The Maleficent actress apparently responded by mocking the actor, referring to his “I am a farmer now” line.
According to Page Six, Angelina Jolie filed a cross-complaint against Brad Pitt, challenging the notion that he built the firm. According to the statement. “Pitt is a performer, not a winemaker.” He works with illusions rather than dirt and grapes.” The statement continued, “Throughout the years that he allegedly ‘built’ the business, Additionally, he appeared in dozens of films, made countless promotional appearances, and jetted around the world for premieres and Hollywood parties.
Angelina Jolie Retaliates Against Brad Pitt’s Accusations That She Illegally Sold Her Shares In Their Multimillion-Dollar French Winery
Angelina Jolie filed court papers on Monday that mercilessly mocked the “Ad Astra” star for claiming to have “built” their French wine business, portraying him as a Hollywood dilettante who, despite his claims, has “visited the vineyards to marvel at the work of the French labourers who actually made the business.” In recent years, the superstar has positioned himself as a gentleman farmer, more interested in the terroir of their Château Miraval estate than the flaws of Tinsel Town. Wine Spectator quoted Pitt as saying, “I’m a farmer now, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the land and knowing which fields are best for what grapes, the drama of September and October: Are we harvesting today? What are the sugar levels? What about the acidity? Is there going to be rain? It’s been a learning experience for me.” In the months following harvest, he says, “I enjoy cleaning the forest and walking the land.” However, Jolie’s solicitors filed a cross-complaint in the never-ending court dispute over the winery, which they purchased together in 2011. The papers refute prior assertions made by Pitt’s solicitors that Jolie’s choice to sell off her stake in the company has threatened to derail the enterprise into which Pitt has devoted so much of himself, citing the notion that Pitt ‘created’ the company ‘ludicrous’.
“Pitt is an actor, not a winemaker,” it laughs. “Pitt deals in illusions, not dirt and grapes.” It continues: “During the years that he supposedly “built” the business, he starred in dozens of films, made numerous promotional appearances, and jetted set around the world for film premieres & attending Hollywood parties.” It went on to say, somewhat harshly, that “while he undoubtedly visited the vineyards to take in the work of the French labourers who actually made the business successful, Pitt is no vigneron.” According to the complaint, Pitt “looted” the company, spending millions of dollars in income on useless initiatives such as remodeling a recording studio. According to the papers, Pitt has acted like a “petulant child” since Jolie sold her part in the winery in 2021. According to Jolie’s attorneys, Pitt’s company owes her own holding company $350 million. He has accused the actresses of selling her portion of the company in violation of an agreement they signed while married in order to resent him after their marriage ended. The couple divorced in 2016.
