Los Angeles: Brad Pitt is set to sue Angelina Jolie for selling her share of the French vineyard where the duo got hitched.

Once Hollywood’s superstars, Pitt and Jolie, purchased a controlling stake of Chateau Miraval in southern France in 2008 and tied the knot there six years down the line.

However, both filed for their divorce in 2016 and have been locked in court battles since then.

The couple had “agreed they would never sell their respective interests in Miraval without the other’s consent,” according to a lawsuit filed by Pitt in California on Thursday.

In October 2021, Jolie sold her stake to a “Luxembourg-based spirits manufacturer controlled by Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler,” says the legal document in possession of news agency AFP.

Pitt’s filing accused Jolie of breaking the terms of their original agreement by not offering him first refusal for her share, and that she is seeking to “recover unearned windfall profits for herself while inflicting gratuitous harm on Pitt,” AFP reported.

“Jolie long ago stopped contributing to Miraval — while Pitt poured money and sweat equity into the wine business, building it into the ascendant company it is today,” the lawsuit states.
