Brad Pitt secures major win in Miraval fight against ex Angelina Jolie as case proceeds toward trial
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt has achieved a significant legal victory in his ongoing battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie concerning the sale of shares in their French winery, Chateau Miraval.
On November 8, Judge Lia Martin of the Los Angeles County Superior Court dismissed three motions filed by Jolie’s legal team that sought to throw out key claims Pitt made regarding their agreement over the property, as reported by People.
Brad Pitt gains key win in Miraval Winery dispute with Angelina Jolie
The court ruling advances Brad Pitt’s case, allowing him to pursue claims that Angelina Jolie violated both a verbal and written agreement to seek mutual consent before selling stakes in Miraval.
The former couple, through their companies Mondo Bongo and Nouvel, had allegedly agreed in 2013 to offer each other the right of first refusal on any sale of their shares. Jolie’s team has 30 days to respond to this recent decision.
This ruling is a significant development in a case that has intertwined both personal and business grievances since Pitt sued Jolie last year over her 2022 sale of her stake to Tenute del Mondo, part of the Stoli Group.
While Jolie, 49, has sought to move forward and focus on her family and career, this case now seems poised to proceed toward trial.
A source close to Pitt, 60, called the court’s ruling a “clear victory” for him, adding that the ruling “validates the strength of his claims.”
The dispute over Chateau Miraval continues to be one of many legal chapters for the former couple, whose relationship began on the set of 'Mr & Mrs Smith' and whose 2016 divorce has involved complex issues, including custody disputes over their six children.
