Description: In court papers filed by Angelina Jolie on Monday, she openly mocked Brad Pitt’s claims of playing a significant role in building their French wine business. The documents mercilessly portrayed Pitt, star of “Ad Astra,” as a Hollywood dilettante rather than a dedicated vintner. According to Jolie’s lawyers, Pitt’s involvement in the business was minimal, at best, as he merely visited the vineyards to appreciate the work done by the French laborers who were the true driving force behind the enterprise.
While Pitt has presented himself as a gentleman farmer in recent years, showing a keen interest in the terroir of their Château Miraval estate, Jolie’s legal team countered his assertions. They emphasized that Pitt’s focus was primarily on his acting career, not the intricacies of winemaking. The court papers derisively stated, “Pitt is an actor, not a winemaker. He deals in illusions, not dirt and grapes.” They further noted his busy schedule filled with filming movies, attending premieres, and indulging in the Hollywood party scene, leaving little time for hands-on involvement in the vineyard.
The cross-complaint lodged by Jolie’s attorneys targeted Pitt’s claims that Jolie’s decision to sell her share of the business posed a threat to the project he allegedly poured so much of himself into. They dismissed the notion that Pitt was the driving force behind the business as “ludicrous.” In fact, they accused Pitt of squandering millions of dollars in profits on frivolous ventures, including renovating a recording studio. The court documents also claimed that Pitt displayed petulant behavior following Jolie’s sale of her stake in the vineyard in 2021.
According to Jolie’s legal team, Pitt’s business owes her holding company a substantial sum of $350 million. They alleged that Pitt violated an agreement made during their marriage by selling off Jolie’s share of the business to spite her after their relationship ended in 2016.
As of now, there has been no response from Brad Pitt’s representatives regarding these allegations. The legal battle between the former Hollywood power couple continues to unfold.
