The endless saga: Pitt vs. Jolie, vineyard edition
It seems that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie cannot go a single quarter without giving us another chapter of their legal soap opera. This time, the protagonist of Fury (ironies of fate) demands access to his ex-wife’s private messages about the sale of Château Miraval, that French vineyard that was once a symbol of their love and is now the prize of a battle worthy of Game of Thrones.
According to court documents filed in the Superior Court of California (because, of course, where else?), Pitt not only wants to snoop on Jolie’s chats, but he also insists that Alexey Oliynik, an executive at the Stoli Group, testify. The problem? Oliynik lives in Switzerland and, surprise, he has no desire to participate in this reality show. Claiming that he cannot be forced to testify, the man seems to have found the only place in the world where Hollywood’s demands do not reach.
The vineyard, malice and broken agreements
Pitt claims that Jolie sold her share of the vineyard without her consent, violating a previous agreement. But, surprise! The actress not only did it, but she sold it to a company that Pitt hates. Coincidence? Her legal team says no, and accuses Jolie of acting with “malice.” Because, of course, in Hollywood, selling property to someone your ex hates is the modern equivalent of declaring war.
Meanwhile, Jolie counterattacks with her own narrative: according to her, Pitt offered to buy her part of the vineyard only if she signed a nondisclosure agreement to silence the alleged abuses of 2016. An attempt at silencing or a brilliant legal strategy? The world is still waiting for the spin-off of this story.
And although their divorce has already been resolved (last December, to be exact), the vineyard remains the battleground. In May, a judge ordered Jolie to hand over eight years of confidentiality agreements. Because what better way to resolve a conflict than by reviewing every piece of paper signed in the last decade?
Collateral damage: the children in the middle
While the lawyers continue billing overtime, close sources (those mysterious people who always appear in these stories) assure that the lawsuit is affecting the family. A Jolie ally declared that until Pitt drops the lawsuit, there will be “peace and healing.” On the other hand, a friend of Pitt says that Jolie’s actions have caused “tremendous collateral damage” to everyone, including her six children. Because, in the end, in these ego wars, the only ones who lose are those who didn’t ask to be there.
So, as we wait for the next episode of “Pitt vs. Jolie: Revenge of the Vineyard“, we can only wonder: who will win this battle? Or will they just keep fighting until Château Miraval turns to dust?
