Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in an ongoing legal dispute about the winery they co-owned together
It seems things between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are growing increasingly more heated.
The two Hollywood legends were in a relationship for over a decade, but were only married for two years.
Salt favourite Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 and alleged that Pitt was abusive towards her and their children on a flight from France to California earlier that same year.

While their divorce proceedings remain ongoing (and don’t look to resolved anytime soon), a judge ruled the pair legally single back in 2019.
Their ongoing legal battles largely relate to the custody of their six children (all of whom are aged 16 and over), their estate and their French winery, Chateau Miraval.
The former celebrity couple purchased the winery together in 2008, with Jolie having since sold her share to a subsidiary of Stoli Group owned by a Russian oligarch.
According to Pitt, 60, this went against an agreement they had to not sell their shares of the winery without each other’s permission – but Jolie, 49, has insisted that this agreement never existed.
Pitt went on to sue his ex for selling her stake and the lawsuit is still unfolding.

New court documents regarding the suit were filed last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where Jolie’s attorneys accused Ad Astra actor Pitt of trying to get their client to sign an $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement.
In the documentation obtained by PEOPLE, Jolie’s attorneys insisted that Jolie ‘was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling’.
Allegedly, Pitt refused to buy her stake in the winery ‘unless he received his newly expanded NDA, enforceable by an $8.5 million holdback specifically designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up’.

Jolie’s attorneys additionally said: “While Pitt advances what is effectively an outdated privacy-of-domestic-violence argument to shield his abuse, his argument is not the law, at least not in this century, and he cites no authority that would give him such unwarranted protections.
“In any event, he waived any privacy protections when he sued Jolie.”
While the NDA is reported to be in relation to the alleged abuse Jolie suffered and cited as the actress’ reason for deciding to sell stake in the winery to a third-party, court documents obtained by UNILAD show that Pitt’s legal team say the NDA in question ‘had nothing to do with the divorce or the children’.
The question remains ‘whether Jolie truly withdrew from the negotiations with Pitt because of the NDA he requested’.
