Brad Pitt sued Angelina Jolie for selling “secretly” to the Russian Yuri Shefler his share of the French vineyard they bought together. This is the cellar Château Miravalbought in the village of Correns in France in 2008, where the couple married six years later.

The Hollywood actor said he has invested a lot of time and money in the winery over the years. According to l‘agreement, furthermore, neither of them could have sold their shares in the vineyard without the consent of the other.

Angelina, however, would have decided to sell her shares to the Russian alcohol producer Shefler without the knowledge of her ex-husband.

Pitt then, after having his request for joint custody of children rejected last October, finds himself clashing again in court with his ex-wife.

Pitt and Jolie have been together for about 11 years, including two years of their marriage, but separated in September 2016 citing “irreconcilable differences”. They have since been involved in many court cases.
