Angelina Jolie,Brad Pitt,Legal Dispute

Angelina Jolie's legal team has filed a motion to release communications that would prove Brad Pitt's refusal to let her sell her share of their French winery unless she agreed to a more restrictive NDA. They also allege that Pitt has a history of physical abuse towards Jolie and their children.

On Thursday , Angelina’s legal team filed a motion seeking to release communications they say would prove the 60-year-old actor would not let his former spouse sell her share of the French winery Château Miraval they owned together to him unless she agreed to a “more onerous” and “expansive” NDA .

The actors, who were declared legally single by a judge back in 2019, share six kids: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox. “After eight months of delays, this motion asks the Court to force Mr. Pitt to finally produce that evidence.”Brad and Angelina’s lawyers have battled each other through a set of corporate proxies over control of the Château Miraval winery in the south of France, where the pair married in 2014, and which is estimated to be worth some $162 million.

The Lara Croft actress alleged that Brad had appointed himself as the rightful owner of the winery, “wasting millions of assets” and attempting to give her 50% stake to his friends, according to a counterclaim filed in 2022 in the US.Intending to become equal owners, the couple bought Miraval by purchasing all of Quimicum’s shares for €25 million, with Mondo Bongo acquiring 60% of the stock and Nouvel the remaining 40%.

By 2020, the board of Quimicum consisted of a single director, who had been supplied by a management firm, Angelina’s counterclaim said. A June 2023 filing from Brad’s legal team, however, claimed Angelina was the one who suggested an “even broader non-disparagement clause” as part of the purchase deal, limiting negative or derogatory statements about each other, and Brad’s team presented a “narrower” one “intended to protect the business.”
