- Brad Pitt claims Angelina Jolie sold Château Miraval’s winery to hurt him.
- Brad and Angelina co-owned the business with him, but she sold her half in October 2021.
- The 47-year-old is now facing multiple lawsuits over the sale.
Brad Pitt’s claims that Angelina Jolie sold her part in their winery to “hurt him” have been criticized by Angelina Jolie.
The 47-year-old actress co-owned the Château Miraval winery in the South of France with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 58, but she sold her half in October 2021 during their ongoing divorce battle, and while he sued her, claiming it was an “unlawful” move intended to “inflict harm” on him, she has now claimed that the truth is yet to be revealed.
A representative for Angelina said: “Mr. Pitt’s lawsuit against Ms. Jolie is an extension of a false narrative, and the truth of the situation has still not been made public. After the events that led to Ms. Jolie filing for divorce and her years devoted to caring for their children, Ms. Jolie and the children have not been able to return to the property, and she made the difficult decision to sell her stake in the business. After making multiple offers to her ex-husband, and knowing the business will be inherited by their children, she found a business partner with experience in the alcohol industry.”
Angelina Jolie – who was married to fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt from 2014 to 2019 and has children Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and 13-year-old twins Knox Léon and Vivienne with him – exited the business in a “legal” manner, according to her representative, and it is “unfortunate” that she is now facing multiple lawsuits.
The rep told PEOPLE: “It’s unfortunate that after she properly and legally exited the business, Mr. Pitt is entangling her in multiple lawsuits.”
‘Angelina’s response comes just days after The ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ star alleged that she tried to “damage” him by selling her share to the firm that produces flagship Russian vodka Stoli.
Legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com and filed on June 3 cite
Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and claim “the Stoli brand is now a massive international liability”.
Papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court said: “The US Treasury
Department designated Shefler as an ‘oligarch in the Russian Federation’ in an unclassified report to Congress made pursuant to the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017.”
