The glamorous world of Hollywood A-listers and their estates takes an ugly turn as Angelina Jolie fires back in the ongoing legal spat with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. From custody battles to villainizing each other what was once ‘couple goals’ has turned into a sad disaster.
The fight centers around Château Miraval, a French winery the former couple co-owned during their marriage. Additionally, according to a countersuit filed by Jolie’s lawyers in May 2023, Pitt allegedly treated the winery like his ‘personal piggy bank.’
A Countersuit Accuses Brad Pitt Of Using The Winery’s Funds For His Own Projects
The countersuit throws some serious accusations Pitt’s way. It alleges that instead of channeling revenue into the winery’s growth, Pitt used Chateau Miraval‘s funds to bankroll his own ‘vanity projects’ and other personal endeavors. Additionally, this move would have left Jolie shortchanged on her rightful share of the profits.
Jolie’s team further alleges that Pitt has been playing a game of financial freeze-out, refusing to allow her to sell her interest in the winery to another buyer. This countersuit adds another layer of complexity to the already contentious post-divorce relationship between Jolie and Pitt.
However, Pitt’s representatives have denied the allegations, claiming that he was the driving force behind the success of Miraval. They say Jolie is trying to take credit for something she had little to do with.

From Love Nest To Legal Battleground
Château Miraval was once a romantic escape Brad and Angelina purchased together in 2008. They even got married there in 2014. News of their split in 2016 sent shockwaves through Hollywood, and this legal battle over the winery adds another layer of sadness to the saga.
Seeing a place filled with happy memories turn into a battleground for finances can’t be easy for either of them. Additionally, the accusations fly back and forth, leaving the public wondering what truly went wrong behind the scenes of what seemed like a picture-perfect love story.
