over a French estate and winery Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie formerly owned together continues to escalate.
“Pitt wasted the company’s assets, spending millions on vanity projects, including more than $1 million on swimming pool renovations, building and rebuilding a staircase four times, and spending millions to restore a recording studio,” the document filed Monday states. “Incensed that Jolie sold Nouvel to Stoli rather than him, Pitt has acted like a petulant child, refusing to treat Nouvel as an equal partner in the business,” the filing states.a lawsuit over Jolie’s sale of the estate and winery in February 2022, calling it “unlawful” because, he claims, the two had agreed when they purchased the property that neither would sell without the other’s consent.
Paul Murphy, Jolie’s attorney, responded in a statement to CNN at the time, and referenced allegations of abuse by Pitt during a 2016 plane flight that were part of another court filing by Jolie in the case last fall.
