Brad Pitt Sues Angelina Jolie for $350 Million Over Secret Sale of Winery Stake
Pitt demands secret docs in explosive Miraval war.
Brad Pitt has unleashed a staggering $350 million lawsuit against his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, accusing her of deliberately sabotaging their prized French winery, Chateau Miraval, by secretly selling her 50% stake in 2021 without his approval. The Fight Club icon alleges a rock-solid mutual agreement required both parties’ consent for any sale—a pact Jolie allegedly shattered in a calculated move that ignited years of vicious courtroom battles over the billion-dollar Provençal rosé empire they once nurtured as a symbol of their glamorous union.
Fresh court documents obtained by People magazine expose explosive November 2023 emails from Jolie’s legal team, essentially admitting that Pitt’s colossal damages claim triggered the ongoing document war: “He is suing Ms. Jolie for $350 million in damages… he has to incur the expense of producing the documents that will show (or not show) those damages.” The correspondence also sharply criticizes Pitt for stonewalling the release of a mysterious four-year NDA, which Jolie’s camp claims is designed to conceal his alleged “personal misconduct” during their turbulent marriage.
Pitt’s aggressive legal offensive now demands the production of 22 previously withheld communications, with his attorneys blasting Jolie’s invocation of attorney-client privilege as an “improper” and transparent attempt to bury critical evidence. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star insists these files will conclusively prove the lasting damage to Miraval’s brand reputation and daily operations—harm he attributes directly to Jolie’s controversial decision to offload her shares to a company linked to a Russian oligarch, further complicating the winery’s global image.

The former golden couple, who share six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox—dramatically parted ways in 2016 following a now-infamous private jet altercation that rocked Hollywood. Though they officially finalized their divorce in December 2024, the Miraval saga continues to rage, with the next pivotal court hearing scheduled for December 17, where a judge will decide whether Jolie must surrender the contested documents or maintain her shield of privilege.
As bottles of Miraval rosé line shelves worldwide and legal bills skyrocket into the millions, this Provence-based vendetta underscores a bitter truth: Hollywood’s most glamorous breakup has morphed into a high-stakes corporate showdown, where love, legacy, and luxury collide—and revenge is poured, chilled, at $350 million a glass.
