ALBAWABA – The lengthy and bitter dispute over Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s French vineyard Château Miravel continues, with Angelina’s attorneys urging Pitt to terminate the fight and drop his case.

Originally sharing the partnership until 2021, when Jolie decided to sell her portion, the former couple had been involved in a protracted legal dispute over the property of the factory they acquired in 2008.

Pitt subsequently sued over the transaction, claiming that the sale went against an agreement they had already struck and indicating at the time that he would acquire her portion.

Jolie’s lawyers filed a motion in April 2024, claiming Pitt would refuse to purchase Jolie’s winery’s shares unless she signed an NDA, a legal document between two or more parties agreeing not to reveal any confidential information shared over the course of doing business together.

According to Jolie’s attorneys, Pitt tried to hide his mistreatment of her and their children in that agreement. Pitt’s attorneys firmly refuted these claims.

Jolie’s attorney, Paul Murphy, responded in a statement that Pitt “tried to punish and control Angelina by demanding a newly expanded non-disclosure agreement to cover his personal misconduct and abuse.”

“We are not at all surprised that Pete is afraid to hand over documentation proving these facts,” CNN reported.

“Angelina will have no choice but to gather the evidence necessary to prove his claims wrong, unless he withdraws his lawsuit. She once again asks Mr. Pitt to end the conflict and finally put their family on a clear road to recovery.”

Jolie’s lawyers filed a motion in April, asking the court to mandate Pitt and his legal team to produce documentation outlining why Pitt “suddenly qualified his purchase of Jolie’s share of Miraval on her agreement to a significantly expanded non-disclosure agreement that now covers Pitt’s personal misconduct, whether related to Miraval or not.””

Pitt’s “history of physical abuse of Jolie began before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles,” Jolie’s attorneys said in the complaint.

Still, the records assert that “this trip was the first time he committed physical abuse against the children as well, and that Jolie left him immediately.”

The records claim that the conduct was severe and resulted in major, ongoing post-traumatic stress.

Jolie will also show at trial why Pitt was so troubled by his misbehavior that he blew up his own arrangement to buy out Jolie’s part in Miraval because she refused to agree to a new, enlarged nondisclosure agreement. Testimony, emails, pictures, and other evidence will help Jolie establish this.

Pitt already has some of this evidence. Given this suggestion, Jolie is seeking similar proof.

Documents submitted by Pitt’s legal team in June 2023, on the other hand, assert that Jolie’s counsel—not Jolie—asked for the more general NDA.

Furthermore, a close friend of Pitt’s, who is aware of the litigation between him and his ex-wife over the years, informed others at the time that the most recent assault claims follow a pattern of conduct by Jolie and her legal team.

“They always choose to provide false or misleading information whenever a decision goes against the other side,” the person claimed.

The papers also state: “Jolie never pressed charges because she believed the best course of action was for Pitt to take responsibility and help the family recover from the post-traumatic stress he caused.”
