Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s legal battle over their luxury vineyard, Chateau Miraval, valued at USD 500 million, continues to make headlines as the former Hollywood power couple faces off in a dispute over ownership and financial arrangements.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Angelina Jolie’s attorneys have accused Brad Pitt of making abusive demands for access to all of her previous Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). The actress alleges that Pitt’s requests are an invasion of her privacy and that of third parties with whom she has signed agreements in the past.
Jolie, 48, has also raised allegations of abuse against Pitt, claiming that he attempted to silence her about his personal misconduct through an overly vexatious NDA. The legal dispute has not only brought personal tensions to light but also shed light on the complexities of selling and administrating shared assets post-divorce.
In response, Pitt has refuted Jolie’s claims of abuse and demanded transparency regarding her NDAs, arguing that they would provide insight into the true nature of their financial separation. A spokesperson for Jolie labeled Pitt’s actions as an attempt to cover up her history of abuse, while a source close to Pitt defended him as someone who has been generous and portrayed the dispute as a basic business disagreement complicated by personal issues.
Despite the legal battle, Jolie’s finances have reportedly prospered since her split from Pitt. Reports suggest that she has enriched her estate by nearly $100 million, thanks in part to the sale of her stake in Chateau Miraval and support from Pitt, including loans, child support, and valuable gifts.
The legal fight over Chateau Miraval, acquired by the couple in 2008, has unfolded in courts in California and Luxembourg, underscoring the far-reaching impacts of such disputes on the parties involved. With a crucial hearing scheduled for May 16, the ongoing legal saga between Jolie and Pitt shows no signs of resolution in the near future.
