Pax Thien’s mother – Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their reconciliation after a year of intense dispute
Recently, on July 27, the Daily Mail reported that superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had just agreed to negotiate to reach a separate agreement – to resolve the very tense issue between them.
According to Dailymail, in documents submitted to the court last week, the two stars agreed to choose mediation instead of continuing to sue in court. Angelina Jolie also said she is willing to participate in a settlement meeting.
In the recent document, the pair also proposed an immediate solution to the dispute. Specifically, they appointed one person to be the “temporary administrator” for the wine estate. An independent person will then come in to evaluate the winery and how it operates.
This is expected by the Hollywood media to create favorable conditions for negotiations between Brad Pitt and tycoon Yuri Shefler’s company Nouvel LLC. From there, it helps the two sides have a common voice in the business of Chateau Miraval wine brand .
It is known that the legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was initially a battle for custody of their children. While the case was not over, the two sides started to sue each other around the issue from the wine factory.
Accordingly, lawyer Brad Pitt accused Angelina Jolie of secretly selling 50% of the wine factory’s shares through a 2021 press release.
In the most recently filed amended lawsuit against his ex-wife, Brad Pitt’s side said the actor trusted Angelina Jolie. Therefore, he spent time and resources renovating the castle in France into a successful wine production place.
Although Angelina Jolie supported Brad Pitt on behalf of her family, she did not do anything necessary for the success of the factory.
The controversy had not subsided until on July 11, Angelina Jolie’s former company, Nouvel LLC, filed a lawsuit – accusing Brad Pitt of spending millions of dollars on frivolous projects. Nouvel LLC’s lawyers said that made Brad Pitt’s behavior at the winery worse.
“The actor acted like a spoiled child”; “Although Brad Pitt did visit the vineyard to observe the work of the workers in the castle. However, he is neither a grape grower nor a winemaker. The success of the winery business is not Brad Pitt but the employees” – said a representative of Nouvel LLC.
Then in 2021, Brad Pitt sued Angelina Jolie – claiming that she sold half of the shares of the Chateau Miraval estate in France to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler – owner of the Stoli brand, which violated a separate agreement between Surname. According to Brad, they each pledged not to sell their shares to a third party without the other person’s permission
Responding to Brad’s lawsuit, Angelina said she agreed to sell shares to Brad, but the negotiations were unsuccessful. The reason is that Brad forced Angelina to sign a confidentiality contract not to share their private information.
In the lawsuit dated October 4, Angelina Jolie said that on a private flight in September 2016, Brad Pitt pulled her into the bathroom, grabbed her head and shook her vigorously, then grabbed her shoulders, shook her vigorously and pushed her against the wall. . Worth mentioning, the actor also strangled one of the children and hit another child in the face. The incident scared the children, many of them even burst into tears.
A few days after the terrifying flight, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce and the legal battle between the two sides began to last until today.
In addition to lawsuits surrounding business matters, the two also constantly “accuse” each other about their personal lives. Brad accused Angelina of intentionally taking revenge after the divorce, damaging his business by selling shares to Yuri Shefler. Meanwhile, Angelina accused Brad of being delusional, not understanding business and farming, and wasting money on frivolous things.
Miraval Castle in the South of France – a place where grapes are grown and wine produced is a favorite place of the famous couple. Over time, this place became one of the most highly regarded wineries in the world .
Initially, the castle was owned by Quimicum – a company in which Brad Pitt held 60% of the shares and Angelina Jolie held 40%. After the divorce, Brad Pitt transferred 10% of shares from Mondo Bongo company to Nouvel company to Angelina Jolie, making both ownership equal.
