Brad Pitt Sues Angelina Jolie Over Secret Sale of Their Shared Winery Amid Custody Battle
- Brad Pitt claims Angelina Jolie sold her stake in their French winery, Château Miraval, without his consent to a Russian businessman.
- Pitt accuses Jolie of acting vindictively to seize profits and retaliate amid their ongoing divorce and custody dispute over their six children.
- Jolie countersued, claiming Pitt squandered her investment in the winery and tried to seize full control to ensure she received no profits.
- The former couple had agreed to jointly own the winery, investing millions since purchasing it in 2008, but Jolie sold her 50 percent stake last year.
- Pitt demands a trial by jury while a source close to Jolie claims he required her silence on alleged past abuse as a condition of selling her share to him.
