'Nothing new': Internet amused as Brad Pitt set to sue Angelina Jolie, billionaire over shared vineyard

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt is gearing up to face his ex-wife Angelina Jolie and Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler over their shared French vineyard, Chateau Miraval.

The estranged couple who were separated in September 2016 have since been embroiled in a bitter dispute over various issues including the custody of their children, finances, and their French vineyard, Chateau Miraval, which produces award-winning sparkling rose wine.

In the fight over their shared vineyard, Pitt is suing the 'Maleficient' actress for alleged breach of contract after she sold her share of the estate to Shefler, reportedly without the actor's consent or knowledge.

Recent rulings from the Los Angeles Superior Court have cleared the track for the case to proceed to a trial.

Brad Pitt is 'standing up to bullies' in the fight over shared vineyard

Legal sources told PageSix that the 'Fight Club' actor has so far spent an estimated $10 million on attorney fees.

One insider told the outlet that "this is all about standing up to bullies and defending his own people, principles and the truth. Brad is standing firm for what he believes in."

“He’s willing to go and testify on a stand if it went to trial,” the insider added.

The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2014 at Chateau Miraval, bought the vineyard together in 2008.

Pitt, Jolie, and the Russian oligarch Shefler are embroiled in complex legal proceedings spanning multiple jurisdictions including, California, France, and Luxembourg.

Pitt claimed that he was shocked to find Jolie's sale of her share of the property to Shefler's Stoli Group for $64 million and that he only learned of the transaction through a press release in 2021.
