Angelina Jolie Claims She Did Not Need Brad Pitt’s Approval
According to a report from RadarOnline, Angelina Jolie slammed her ex-husband by calling his claims frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern. Her legal team also provided an update about the legal battle this week. The Tourist star also insisted that she did not need the World War Z star’s approval to sell her stake.
The documents mentioned, “Pitt’s allegations that he and Ms. Jolie had a secret, unwritten, unspoken contract to a consent right on the sale of their interests in the property is directly contrary to the written record and, among other legal defects, violative of the Statute of Frauds and public policy.”
Brad Pitt claimed that they planned to develop a family business for their children at the Chateau Miraval. He also said that his ex-wife has expressed her desire to sell her share in the winery and that they were working to find a buyer until the decision came down in their custody battle.
The Troy star said that Jolie then sold her share to a company called Tenute del Mondo and he is pleading for the invalidation of the sale. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt married in 2014 and split in 2016, after that, the Gia star accused her ex-husband of physical and emotional abuse.
Angelina Jolie Explains Why She Decided to Sell Her Stake in the Winery
Angelina Jolie explained the reason she decided to sell her share of the winery in an email that resurfaced recently. The Tomb Rider star shared that this was a place where she got married and where she “brought the twins home to.”
She also mentioned that the Winery is the place that marked the beginning and the end of her family. However, she witnessed “lots of inconsiderate behavior” and also felt excluded from the business end of the Winery.
The Wanted star said that there were many decisions made without her consultancy, and money had been spent in ways that she would not have approved. Jolie was also critical of advertising the Winery’s alcohol business. She claimed that she “was shaken by the recent imagery that was released to sell the alcohol.”
Considering the harm she faced due to alcoholic behavior, Jolie said that she does not want to be involved in a business based on alcohol. She also made a reference to the 2016 incident on a private jet that led to her divorce from Brad Pitt.
The Unbroken star claimed in court that her ex-husband lunged at his own child, choked one of them, and struck another in the face. She also claimed that Pitt poured Beer on her.
Followed by their divorce, the ex-couple has been continuously engaged in legal battles. Angelina Jolie is still fighting the FBI over the release of records, regarding its investigation of the 2016 private plane incident.
