Brad Pitt Sues Ex Wife Angelina Jolie For Selling Her Share In French Estate

Brad Pitt Files Lawsuit Against His Ex Wife Angelina jolie For Selling Her Stake Of Their French Estate, Château Miraval

Brad Pitt has filed a lawsuit against his ex wife Angelina jolie after she allegedly sold her share of their French Estate.

Pitt explained in the lawsuit that the former couple mutually agreed that neither would sell their stake of the home and its vineyard without notifying the other.

According to Page Six, the couple got married on the property in 2014.  The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week.

“Jolie consummated the purported sale without Pitt’s knowledge, denying Pitt the consent right she owed him and the right of the first refusal her business entity owed his. She sold her interest with the knowledge and intention that Shefler and his affiliates would seek to control the business to which Pitt had devoted himself and to undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval.”

The estate was purchased by the former couple in 2008 for $28.4 million where they intended to raise their children and launch a wine business. However, Jolie stopped contributing to the home in 2013 while Pitt continued to invest millions of dollars for the estate.

Additionally, Pitt’s suit claims Jolie has profited off of the multi-million dollar business he built due to the winery becoming of the top producers of rosé wine in the world.

“Miraval’s success and associated rise in value allowed Jolie an opportunity to capitalize on Pitt’s success and cash out, without ever having lifted a finger to grow the enterprise.”
