Brad Pitt’s camp accuses the actress of dishonesty while Pitt himself is accused of using embezzled funds to finance personal projects.
8 years of NDA
In the legal dispute between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the actress has been forced to produce eight years of non-disclosure agreements after the actor claimed to have asked her to sign a confidentiality agreement regarding their arrangement for the Chateau Miraval wine estate, which continues to be a never-ending source of conflict and legal drama.
Disastrous family consequences
This major turning point in their dispute could lead to disastrous family consequences. According to Jolie, this disclosure could expose Pitt’s alleged abuse of her and their children, compromising her defense by revealing sensitive details.
A significant turning point
While this recent decision marks a significant turning point in the dispute between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt over their French wine estate, Château Miraval, Pitt’s camp accuses the actress of dishonesty in a case relating to the signing of a contract with Pitt, arguing that her refusal to sign was merely a pretext to justify the unauthorized sale of her share of Château Miraval.
Details of alleged abuse
According to Brad Pitt’s lawyers, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) would reveal contradictions in Jolie’s arguments. However, Jolie’s lawyers have criticized Pitt’s recent legal moves, calling them attempts to punish and control her. They even argue that the NDAs could reveal details of Pitt’s alleged abuse, which could greatly harm him and the family.
A central element
Château Miraval became the center of a controversy after Brad Pitt accused Angelina Jolie of selling his share without his consent, which he considered a breach of their contract. The estate, where the couple married in 2014, became a central focus of their legal wrangling following their divorce in 2016. The conflict is also said to have intensified after an incident on a flight in September 2016, where the actor allegedly physically abused one of their children, leading to an FBI investigation.
Another complaint
Another complaint has also been lodged against Brad Pitt regarding the legal ownership of their French vineyard, Château Miraval, while he is suspected of using the estate’s assets to finance his personal projects!
Personal projects
According to court documents, Brad Pitt could have used funds misappropriated from the estate for personal projects. This would include more than $1 million in renovations for a swimming pool for his exclusive use, no less.
A lack of transparency
Sources close to the actor defend his actions, claiming that the accusations are absolutely absurd. However, according to the plaintiffs, Château Miraval’s financial and operational transactions have been seriously lacking in transparency since Angelina Jolie ceased to be one of the managers.
A strategic error?
The legal battles around Château Miraval seem to go on indefinitely… but more than that, is the Pitt clan making a mistake with its latest strategy? Time will tell.
