The ongoing legal dispute between former Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has escalated as Jolie urges Pitt to abandon his lawsuit against her, which focuses on her sale of shares in the Chateau Miraval estate. According to E! News, the conflict arises from Pitt's claim that Jolie sold her stake in the French property without his approval, breaching their alleged verbal agreement. In contrast, Jolie's legal representatives argue that she initially proposed selling the shares to Pitt but encountered last-minute restrictive terms, including an unacceptable non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Recent reports obtained by E! News indicate that Jolie is seeking to force Pitt to reveal any third-party communications concerning a 2016 plane incident involving their son, Maddox. This action is part of her effort to challenge Pitt's claims of physical aggression during the incident. In a statement to E! News, Jolie's attorney highlighted her call for peace, stating, "While Angelina again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong."
Pitt's legal team has responded by dismissing Jolie's request as a "sensationalist fishing expedition" into his personal life. They maintain that the central issue in the legal dispute is the business conflict over the estate and should not involve family law matters. This legal back-and-forth continues the tensions that have persisted since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 after two years of marriage. The couple, once celebrated for their glamorous relationship, now grapples with a complex custody battle and legal disputes over financial issues related to their former shared assets.
Additionally, E! News reports that the Chateau Miraval saga includes a counter-suit by Jolie's former company, Nouvel, accusing Pitt of attempting to take control of the estate and its assets for personal gain following the divorce.
