Angelina Jolie's former company has accused the actress' ex, Brad Pitt, of "looting" and stripping the couple's former French vineyard of assets in new court documents.

Angelina Jolie‘s wine biz just filed new court documents in their ongoing battle against her ex-husband Brad Pitt — and the lawyers who wrote this filing deserve a PhD in shade!!

Angelina Jolie has filed court documents accusing her ex-husband Brad Pitt of “looting” the Provence vineyard they formerly owned together.In a new court document filed on Monday (July 10) by Jolie’s former investment company Nouvel, it accuses Pitt of attempting to retain control of Château Miraval in southern France by “stripping” its assets and spending millions on “vanity projects”.In the document filing (via CNN), it reads: “Pitt wasted the company’s assets, spending millions on vanity projects, including more than $1million on swimming pool renovations, building and rebuilding a staircase four times, and spending millions to restore a recording studio.”Pitt and Jolie previously bought the country estate and winery together in 2008, with each owning 50 per cent of the property and its profits. Jolie, who filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, later sold her stake in 2021 to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler.This prompted Pitt to file a lawsuit against Jolie’s sale of the estate in February 2022, deeming it “unlawful” because the pair allegedly agreed neither would sell the property without the other’s consent.Jolie filed a countersuit in response denying there was any agreement and claiming she sold her half to have some “financial independence” from her ex-husband.In the new court filing, attorneys for Nouvel claimed Pitt had “acted like a petulant child” following the sale of Jolie’s portion, demonstrating “increasingly outrageous actions to retain control”.

Naman Ramachandran Brad Pitt has revealed some key plot details of his keenly anticipated Formula One racing feature. Over the weekend, Pitt and co-star Damson Idris filmed for the Apple production during the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone in the U.K., driving laps around the legendary track. Speaking to former British racing champion Martin Brundle, Pitt told Sky Sports: “It’s all been great. The vibe is amazing, to get to be part of it and tell our story. The teams have opened their doors to us.” Pitt said that he plays “a guy who raced in the 1990s… who has a horrible crash, craps out and disappears, then he’s racing in other disciplines. His friend, played by Javier Bardem, he’s a team owner, contacts him. They’re a last place team, they’re 21-22 on the grid, they’ve never scored a point. But they have a young phenom, played by Damson Idris, and they bring me in as kind of a Hail Mary and hijinks ensue. Tell you what’s amazing about it — there are cameras mounted all over the car — you’ve never seen speed, you’ve never seen just the G-forces like this. It’s really, really exciting.”
