Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of wanting to harm him by selling her share of the wine business

Apart from the custody of their six children, one of the reasons for their intricate dispute is once again the fabulous residence in French Provence, where the ex-partner acquired some vineyards and a farm valued at 140 million euros and they married in August 2014, at a wedding published exclusively worldwide by ¡HOLA! The actor denounced his ex-wife for the sale of his part of the Château Miraval and now accuses her of damaging the reputation of his wine business, in which they were previously co-owners, by selling his half to a “stranger”, as published by people magazine, who has had access to the documents presented in court.

In 2008, the ex-partner bought his stake in the vineyard, and in his complaint, Pitt accused Jolie of inflicting gratuitous damage on him by selling his share of the wine company. He then alleged that they both agreed that neither would sell her share of her farm without the other’s consent. However, the Maleficent actress sold her share of it to Russian businessman Yuri Shefler after receiving legal authorization to sell her shares of the mansion. Previously the interpreter of EternalsShe had accused her ex-husband of blocking the sale of the vineyards and after filing a lawsuit, she managed to get a judge to withdraw the temporary order that prevented one of the parties from making financial decisions about their properties during the separation process.

Brad Pitt’s lawyers contracted in his defense by filing new documents on June 3 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

“Pitt and Jolie bought the château as a home to share with their children and the vineyard as a family business.” Miraval assure that it became a project in which Brad put all his “passion” to him and grew “until he became a multi-million dollar global business and one of the most respected rosé wine producers in the world”. The actor, however, accuses Jolie of not contributing “in anything to the success of Miraval.”

The actor’s legal team notes that Jolie planned to sell her stake in October to Tenute del Mondo, a company “bent on taking control of Miraval” and that it is “indirectly owned and controlled by Yuri Shefler, the Russian billionaire who controls the Group.” Stoli”.

“Jolie pursued and then consummated the alleged sale in secret, deliberately keeping Pitt in the dark and knowingly violating Pitt’s contractual rights,” documents filed by the interpreter’s attorneys read.

Sources say the timing of the sale was related to a judge’s decision to issue a ruling awarding Pitt 50/50 custody in the bitter custody battle over the couple’s five minor children. Jolie’s motivation for the sale was “to inflict harm on Pitt,” the documents allege.

Pitt’s team in turn singles out Shefler as a dubious partner and says he has launched a hostile takeover of Miraval and is seeking ” confidential and proprietary information for the benefit of his competitor.” The documents accuse Shefler of “ruthless business tactics and dubious professional associations, ” which in turn “endangers the reputation of the brand Pitt so carefully built.” He adds that “Jolie has tried to force Pitt to associate with a stranger, and worse yet, a stranger with poisonous associations and intentions.”

Pitt seeks to be compensated for damages in an amount that will be known at trial, in which he asks that he have sworn and that the sale of Jolie is declared “null and void.”
