Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were for a time one of the most envied and beloved couples in Hollywood. Their relationship began in 2005, when they both met while filming the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Their chemistry managed to transcend the screen, and after the end of filming, both began a relationship. The unconditional love lasted more than ten years and ended in one of the most high-profile breakups in recent times. Now, their fight in court has brought a new chapter.
After a decade together and six children together, the interpreters decided to put an end to their beautiful love story in 2016. Despite the passage of time, this breakup continues to make new headlines today, since Jolie and Pitt They remain immersed in their legal battles. The process has not been easy at all. In fact, the actress, who was the one who made the decision to separate from her husband, accused Pitt in the custody trial of the children of mistreatment of her son Maddox and of having problems with drugs and alcohol. Pitt was eventually acquitted of these charges.
Now, this judicial battle would have taken a turn again. A few months ago, Page Six revealed that Angelina Jolie would be a “vengeful” woman, as Brad Pitt declared. And the actor accused his ex-wife of having sold her part of the French mansion, Château Miraval, in absolute secrecy and only to get revenge on him. According to information obtained by the aforementioned media, the former couple agreed that she would never sell her stake in the $30 million property without the other’s approval, something that Jolie failed to comply with after her divorce.
In the summer of 2021, the actor discovered through the press that his ex-wife had sold her 50 percent stake to a “Russian oligarch.” According to the American artist, the actress secretly collaborated with businessman Yuri Shefler, violating her agreement. Furthermore, the performer of films such as Troy or World War Z assures that his ex-wife chose this specific tycoon to damage his reputation, since he has ties to Vladimir Putin, in the spotlight for the invasion of Ukraine and homophobic thinking.
After learning of the Maleficent interpreter’s actions, Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie in February 2022 because the actress had taken away his “right to enjoy his private home and supervise the business he developed from scratch.” Now it has been learned that Pitt has won the latest round of his epic legal battle against his ex, as Page Six claims.
The actor, 60, has appeared in court in California and Luxembourg over Château Miraval, arguing that he should have a majority stake in the vineyard after Jolie sold her shares. “He owned 60% and she owned 40%. When they got married, it was a conversation in which everything was rosy. The agreement was that she would give him 10%, a 50/50 agreement that they reached for one euro “It was a symbol of their association,” the source expressed to the aforementioned media.
However, Pitt has now argued in court that the couple’s 10% agreement is unenforceable, since he should recover the percentage and maintain control of the property. As the aforementioned media has learned, the Luxembourg court has ruled that, for now, 10 percent returns to Pitt until there is a final ruling. “It’s like the equivalent of a security deposit… it’s not a final decision,” the source tells the outlet. “For now, he’s maintaining a 60/40 split,” meaning he “remains in control of this for probably another year, or longer.” We will have to wait to find out more details about how this case concludes.
