– Brad Pitt has been involved in an ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie and Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler over their French vineyard, Château Miraval.
– Pitt recently won 3 legal victories – a French appellate court ruling documents back to Pitt from Shefler, a Luxembourg court stripping Shefler of 10% shares, and a US court allowing Pitt’s breach of contract suit against Jolie to proceed.
– Pitt is suing Jolie for allegedly selling her Miraval shares to Shefler without his agreement, as they had a deal for right of first refusal. Jolie denies this.
– Pitt believes Jolie only sold to “spite” him as it was shortly after he was awarded joint custody of their children.
– Pitt and Jolie still share joint custody but sources say he sees the 3 minor children rarely as they live mostly with Jolie.
– Pitt is willing to testify in court if needed and has spent $10M on legal fees, believing it’s to stand up to “bullies”. He wants to protect the estate for his children.
– The lawsuits are ongoing across multiple jurisdictions as the parties continue fighting over Miraval. Pitt now has the majority stake provisionally.
