Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has levelled fresh accusations against his ex-wife, actress Angelina Jolie, as per reports in Wion News. In legal documents submitted by his team in court, he has alleged that Jolie has intentionally tried to harm his reputation by trying to damage the business of his Miraval wine, which they once co-owned. He alleges that Jolie had sold part of her share to a ‘stranger’.
Earlier, in February, Brad had sued Angelina for selling the shares of the vineyard even though both had decided to not sell their shares without the consent of either party. In 2008, Brad and Angelina bought a controlling stake in a vineyard in South France, along with Château Miraval. Interestingly, the vineyard is where the couple had tied the knot in 2014. But just four years after their separation, Angelina Jolie sold her part of the shares to Tenute del Mondo in 2021.
Brad Pitt has called this a breach of trust claiming that Jolie never contributed to the success of the Miraval business. In his legal team’s statement submitted at the court, Brad Pitt has alleged that Angelina Jolie is deliberately trying to ‘inflict harm on’ him. “Jolie pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt`s contractual rights,” reads part of the statement.
The said lawsuit may turn into a trial where Brad Pitt is also seeking damages, the amount of which will be certain after the trail, for the risk caused to Brad Pitt’s “carefully built” Miraval wine business and hurt inflicted on his reputation. The Bullet Train actor is also seeking the court to declare Angelina Jolie’s sale of the shares “null and void,” along with a trial by jury.
