legal battle over her ownership stake in the French winery, Ch\u00e2teau Miraval.\u00a0 According to Pitt\u2019s initial February 2022 filing, Jolie unlawfully sold her shares of the winery to an independent group, as the former pair\u2019s controlling ownership of the property was obtained together in 2008.\u00a0 As per their alleged understanding, Pitt was required to offer consent to any sale that Jolie may procure, and vice versa.\u00a0 However, Jolie\u2019s allegedly secret sale of her shares failed to meet the standards of this agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Jolie argues that she never entered into such a contract with Pitt and contends that she was formerly willing to enter into a sale of shares with Pitt directly.\u00a0 However, Jolie has accused Pitt of backing out of that sale with her as a punishment, after learning that Jolie produced unsavory evidence in their ongoing custody battle.\u00a0 Although Jolie\u2019s documents, entitled \u201cTestimony Regarding Domestic Violence,\u201d were produced under seal, Pitt was reportedly infuriated with the <a

presented<\/a>, including emails and family testimony.\u00a0 As a result, Pitt attempted to force Jolie to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that would prevent the contents of the evidence from reaching the public eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jolie\u2019s allegations of abuse against Pitt have fueled the ongoing dispute over the ownership of Ch\u00e2teau Miraval.\u00a0 Had the initial sale between Pitt and Jolie gone through, perhaps the lawsuit would not have been filed.\u00a0 Jolie countersued and has recently requested articles of communication from Pitt that support Jolie\u2019s decision to move forward with the sale.\u00a0 Although Jolie\u2019s arguably illegal transfer of her shares was completed in 2021, Pitt intends to seek a jury trial to force Jolie to rescind the transaction.\u00a0 Now the courts are left to decide whether the <em>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em> actor will achieve his fairytale ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight years after filing for divorce from Oscar-winning actor, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie finds herself in a continued legal battle over her
