Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of withholding information in $500 million winery dispute; says she hid several emails regarding the sale

Once the beloved couple of Hollywood, and now exes fighting for a payback, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been the talk of the town for quite some time now. According to the latest update, Brad has accused Angelina of withholding critical information about the controversial sale of their $500 million French winery.

This French winery in question called the Chateau Miraval, was bought by Brad and Angelina together. However, when the couple got divorced in 2016, right after that Brad claimed Angelina sold their joint estate to a third party without his knowledge and consent. Reportedly, initially, Jolie sent an email stating she wanted to get out of the winery business. $54.4 million over six years was negotiated as the payment for Angelina’s stake in the estate.

However, Brad and his legal team claim the actress dropped out of negotiations and sold her stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, at $64 million. The couple has been thus fighting over the matter for years.
According to Touch Weekly, Brad’s legal team has claimed Angelina has withheld hundreds of emails to keep the truth confined. Submissions from Brad’s case read – “In a last-ditch attempt to suppress the truth about her wrongful sale to the Stoli Parties, [Angelina] has withheld hundreds of emails she exchanged with her inner circle in the period leading up to the sale on claims of attorney-client privilege.

This includes hundreds of emails to or from non-attorneys, such as her business manager Terry Bird, her image consultants Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, her wine consultant Christophe Salin, her finance consultants Marjorie Brabet-Friel and James Friel, and her personal assistants Michael Vieira and Mindy Nyby. 126 of these communications do not even involve any attorney participant. [Angelina’s] wildly overbroad assertion of privilege over these 126 communications is unsupported by the law, and it cannot justify her near-complete cover-up of this critically important discovery,” says the legal team.
Brad Pitt has requested the court to nullify the deal.
