Brad Pitt has achieved another victory in his ongoing legal dispute with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie concerning their French vineyard and estate.
After Jolie sold her share of the estate to Russian alcohol magnate Yuri Shefler in 2021, Pitt has been actively working to reverse the transaction. His recent success came last week in a French court regarding documents seized during a raid in March 2022, as reported by The Sun.
This marks Pitt’s third consecutive legal win across different jurisdictions, including Luxembourg and the United States. A source close to the actor highlighted his determination in facing this legal battle head-on, stating, “There’s a long way to go in this litigation, but at the moment, the momentum is certainly with Brad.”
The source also emphasized Pitt’s refusal to be intimidated, saying, “From the moment this hostile takeover bid began, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to be bullied – and he meant it. He has stood his ground and will continue to do what is right.”
The dispute over the Chateau Miraval winery originates from Jolie’s sale of her stake without offering Pitt the opportunity to purchase it first, as per their agreement. This sale, reportedly for $64 million, breached their agreement and sparked the ongoing legal battle.
However, this legal conflict is just one chapter in Pitt and Jolie’s high-profile case, which initially centered around child custody following their divorce in 2016 after two years of marriage.
