Brad Pitt sued by Angelina Jolie’s former company for $250 million over French winery battle

Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in the news for quite some time now due to the ongoing legal battles between them, ranging from control over their jointly purchased French winery to the custody of their kids. As per the latest reports, a new $250 million lawsuit was filed against the 'Fight Club' actor on Tuesday by Jolie’s former company Nouvel in Los Angeles.

The company alleged that Pitt and his gang of cronies launched a devious campaign to ‘seize control’ of the French winery, which he had purchased with his former wife in 2008.

The lawsuit claimed that after purchasing the 1,300-acre estate in the South of France, Angelina and Brad jointly invested millions of dollars to improve it and that each one of them owned 50% of the company. The documents also revealed that ‘much of Angelina's personal wealth’ was invested in the winery.

The actors purchased the Chateau Miraval winery for about $28.3 million, and had a mutual agreement that would not to sell their shares in the company without each other’s permission. However, in February, Brad sued Angelina accusing her of selling her part of their French vineyard.
