Former couple’s dispute remains unresolved as Brad Pitt claims a legal victory
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s ongoing legal battle over their French vineyard, Château Miraval, continues to create headlines, despite their separation years ago. The luxurious property, where the couple famously tied the knot in 2014, remains at the center of a contentious court case.
The latest development occurred on November 8, when a court ruling favored Pitt, rejecting Jolie’s motion to dismiss his claims regarding an alleged agreement. According to Pitt’s legal team, the pair agreed in 2013 to grant each other the “right of first refusal” before selling stakes in Miraval, an arrangement Jolie is accused of violating when she sold her stake to a third party in 2022.
A source close to Pitt described the ruling as “a clear victory” for the actor, stating, “This demonstrates the legitimacy of Brad’s claims and underscores the lack of substance in the other side’s arguments.” Jolie now has 30 days to respond to the decision.
Angelina Jolie focuses on the future
Despite the ongoing legal wrangling, sources close to Jolie emphasize that she is working to move forward with her life. A source told People that Jolie wants to “actively move beyond the past” and focus on her family, career, and future.
“Being stuck in the past is not anything that Angie wants,” the insider said, adding that her priorities include her children and her professional endeavors. However, the unresolved nature of the dispute has been an obstacle for her as she attempts to close the chapter on her relationship with Pitt.
Overlapping legal battles
The vineyard dispute is just one part of the former couple’s ongoing legal challenges. Their disagreements over custody arrangements for their children have also contributed to the legal strain.
As Jolie and Pitt continue their courtroom face-off, it’s clear that their legal battles are far from over, with the Château Miraval case now shaping up to be a defining issue in their post-relationship lives.
