The legal battle over Chateau Miraval between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has turned ugly with new allegations of a “hostile takeover”.
According to new legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Pitt and Jolie are making more allegations against each other — including an ongoing fight over ownership of the winery. The latest filing is brutal, with Pitt saying Jolie’s cohorts are trying to take over the business in a hostile manner.
As you know, Pitt claimed Jolie sold a stake in the family winery to a Russian Oligarch, even though they had an agreement not to sell if they ever divorced. The famous actresses bought the stunning property together in 2008. Jolie’s investment company, Nouvel, is also part of the case — being called out by Brad Pitt for the shady deal.

“Jolie and Nouvel are obliged not to sell interests in the private family home and wine business without (Brad’s) permission. Yet they did so, secretly, through an alleged sale to Tenute del Mondo, an entity controlled by Russian oligarch Yuri Shetler,” the document reads.
It continued, “Defendant has attempted a hostile takeover of the business.”
Of course, Angelina has not accepted these accusations, filing her own new allegations that this is just the latest in Pitt’s “troubled pattern.”
Angelina’s legal team put it this way, “Ms. Jolie thinks that the cause of action (Brad) is frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic patternadding that they are fighting to get the judge to confirm, “Pitt’s claim that he and Ms. Jolie had a secret, unwritten, unspoken contract to obtain consent rights over the sale of their interest in the property is directly contrary to the written record.”

This comes just days after Angelina accused Brad of “looting” the winery’s assets and acting like a “shy child” in the legal battle. Currently, Angelina’s company is seeking $350 Million in damages, saying “Pitt masterminded the so far successful plan to seize de facto control of Château Miraval, despite having no controlling ownership interest. He has frozen Nouvel out of Château Miraval and considers it his personal territory.”
Shockingly, Angelina accused Brad of spending the business’s money on pointless projects like a $1 Million upgrade to the swimming pool and millions to restore the recording studio.
Interestingly, Jolie claims she sold her ownership in the winery to gain “financial freedom” from the ‘Oceans 11’ actor. She added it was a step to help her “have some form of peace and closure to a very painful and traumatic chapter in her and their children’s lives.” Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll remember Angelina accused Brad of choking one of their children and hitting another on a private jet, five days before she filed for divorce.
Brad Pitt was never charged with a crime in the case.
