Brad Pitt is seeking $35 million in damages from Angelina Jolie in a legal dispute over Château Miraval, their former French winery. This lawsuit stems from Jolie’s 2021 sale of her stake in the estate, which Pitt claims harmed the business he helped establish. He alleges the sale constituted a “hostile takeover” that damaged the winery’s operations and stripped him of control. Jolie’s team denies these claims, arguing the sale was lawful and asserting that Pitt’s demands are rooted in a desire for control. They jointly purchased Château Miraval in 2008, launching the successful Miraval Rosé wine brand, but their 2016 divorce led to significant conflict over the asset.
