Brad Pitt is a named defendant in a $250 million lawsuit filed by Angelina Jolie's former company, Nouvel, in which the company claims the actor waged a «vindictive war» in an effort to wrestle away control of the winery he and Jolie purchased in 2008.According to legal documents, obtained by ET, Nouvel claims Pitt «masterminded a so-far-successful plan» to seize control of Chateau Miraval and used the business as his «personal fiefdom.»ET reached out to Nouvel, and it had no comment. A source tells ET that Jolie's latest lawsuit against Pitt involving their winery is «yet another rehash and repackaging of old material to try and distract from the other party's own behavior.»The winery is known for the rosé wine it produces on the 1,300-acre country estate located in the south of France.
