Brad and Angelina's latest legal battle
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were involved in a messy divorce case for years before eventually settling it last month. However, the two exes are still involved in another lawsuit concerning the sale of their French winery, Château Miraval. InTouch reported that Angelina filed a response to Brad's suit against her on January 17.
In the lawsuit, Brad had claimed Angelina broke their agreement to not sell her 50% stake in Miraval without his approval. The report states that in her recent filing, Angelina claimed Brad stepped back and only offered to close if Angelina agreed to a new condition — “a new non-disparagement clause now expanded to cover all of [Brad’s] personal misconduct, whether related to Miraval or not, which would have included the evidence on [Brad’s] abuse of [Angelina] and their children contained in the under-seal filings.” Angelina had levelled accusations of domestic violence against Brad during their divorce.
Angelina's accusations against Brad
In the filing, Angelina claimed Brad “put the preservation of his career above all else, including over the needs of his family,” and that he “has himself never publicly denied his actions.” The actor added in the filing: “His actions caused the family years of unnecessary painful stress, and the cumulative toll was immense. Still, [Angelina] did her best to shoulder that burden placed not only on her but on their children, and she never publicly discussed [Brad’s] actions.”
