In 2021 Angelina Jolie 'purportedly sold' her half of Chateau Miraval winery to a company run by Yuri Shefler, which owns Russian vodka Stolichnaya, aka Stoli. Brad Pitt's lawyers have now filed court documents claiming Jolie's motivation for the sale to was to 'inflict harm on Pitt' - who turned into a global business.
'Jolie knew and intended that Shefler and his affiliates would try to control the business Pitt had built and to undermine Pitt's investment in Miraval,' say docs. Papers also allege the timing of the sale was linked to a judge's decision to issue a tentative ruling giving Pitt 50/50 custody in the couple's bitter custody battle. 'Jolie was livid,' one source told DailyMail.com, even though the order was later rescinded.
