Actress and filmmaker Angelina Jolie reportedly requested her ex-husband Brad Pitt to ‘end the fighting’ with regards to their legal battle over the Chateau Miraval winery. The actress reportedly requested a truce in the matter and asked Pitt to drop the lawsuit he had filed.
However, insiders reported that Pitt had no intention of putting a stop to the matter as it was a standard business dispute. Sources close to the actor mentioned that the Girl, Interrupted actress had brought personal issues related to their divorce into a business dispute.
Brad Pitt Reportedly Refused Angelina Jolie’s Truce Request
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s legal battle regarding the sale of their winery, Chateau Miraval, reportedly has a new update. The former couple partly owned half of the winery and even got married there in 2014. However, Jolie reportedly sold her share of the winery in 2021. Pitt reportedly sued the actress over this sale as it went against their verbal agreement.
Now, a new update regarding their legal battle has been revealed by close insiders. The Bullet Train star reportedly refused a request from his ex-wife to end the fight and withdraw the lawsuit. The actress reportedly asked him to withdraw the lawsuit as a way for the family to heal (via Daily Mail).
However, the Fight Club star has reportedly refused to do so. Insiders accused Angelina Jolie of bringing personal issues into the business dispute and mentioned that she knew she had a losing case (via Daily Mail),
She is realizing that she does not have a strong case anymore and she also knows that she may likely have to shell out the money by order of the courts. Bringing very personal issues into a business lawsuit is backfiring on her. It has exposed the weaknesses in her case and has complicated matters for both parties. She didn’t need to do this.
The two have been feuding over the winery sale while also fighting their divorce case.
Angelina Jolie Reportedly Wants The Family To Heal
While sources close to Brad Pitt mention that ex-wife Angelina Jolie was trying to turn their business dispute into a personal issue, Jolie’s side claimed that Pitt was the one who made it personal. According to her lawyers, Pitt offered to buy her out of the winery by making her sign an NDA that reportedly stopped her from speaking out about his alleged abuse (via People).
A source close to the Eternals star mentioned that Jolie just wanted to move past the dispute and let the family heal while Pitt was being relentless. They told the Daily Mail,
Suing her for 67 million dollars because she refused to sign an NDA covering up his abuse is not a ‘simple business dispute’. All Angelina wants is peace, but he is determined to continue fighting her and blaming everyone but himself for the situation he’s now in.
According to People, Jolie had also reportedly requested Brad Pitt to disclose all third-party communications after the 2016 plane ride that led to the divorce, which Pitt’s lawyers deem an intrusive move.
