As per the report, Brad Pitt has initiated legal proceedings against his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for selling her share of their jointly owned French vineyard, Chateau Miraval, to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler without obtaining his consent. The former couple had an equal ownership stake in the valuable property, estimated to be worth $160 million.As stated, Pitt and Jolie had a legally binding agreement that prevented either of them from selling their respective interests in the vineyard without the others consent.

In response, Pitts legal team filed a complaint in a Los Angeles court on Thursday to address the issue.In the complaint filed by Pitt, it is alleged that Jolie intentionally collaborated covertly with Shefler and his associates to initiate and finalize the supposed sale, with the explicit intention of keeping Pitt unaware of the transaction.Brad Pitt slams Angelina Jolies secret sale of French vineyard stake: suit via @nypost https://t.co/aB2cyqebfG— Chris 🇺🇸 (@Chris_1791) June 2, 2023 As per the cited legal papers Sheflers company Stoli and Jolie knowingly infringed upon the contractual rights of Pitt and his company Mondo Bongo.

Their strategic approach proved to be successful, as Miraval, under their guidance, has flourished into a lucrative global enterprise, earning acclaim as one of the worlds most esteemed producers of rosé wine.“Despite Jolies apparent support for Pitts endeavors on behalf of their family, she did not contribute to the efforts required for Miravals achievements. Instead, she remained passive while Pitt invested financial resources and personal effort into both the property and the business, trusting her commitment to maintain Miravals integrity, as well as the contractual obligations held by her company, Nouvel, towards him.”According to Pitts legal representatives, the sale executed by Jolie took place during an ongoing “child custody dispute” between the former couple.
