Brad Pitt has accused his ex Angelina Jolie of intentionally damaging the reputation of the wine business they co-owned by selling her half to a "stranger." The now-exes had purchased a controlling stake in the South of France vineyard and home Château Miraval, in 2008.
In Pitt’s latest court filing with Jolie over the sale of Miraval, he claims that she had intentionally “sought to inflict harm on” him by selling her interests in the wine company. He added that they had agreed to never sell their respective interests in the family business without the other’s consent.
The filing notes that Jolie had planned to sell her interest in October to Tenute del Mondo, which is “bent on taking control of Miraval” and is “indirectly owned and controlled by Yuri Shefler, the Russian billionaire who controls the Stoli Group.” Pitt is seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial, as well as the declaration of Jolie’s apparent sale as “null and void.”
