The legal war between Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has taken a dramatic new turn as the “Fight Club” actor makes an aggressive push to expose what he alleges was a calculated betrayal involving their prized French winery. Court documents obtained by USA Herald reveal Pitt is now seeking to compel depositions from multiple parties connected to his ex-wife’s controversial sale of her Château Miraval stake, a move that could finally shed light on one of Hollywood’s most contentious property disputes.
The $60 Million Dream Turned Legal Nightmare
The saga began in 2011 when the power couple, then at the height of their romance, purchased the sprawling 1,200-acre Château Miraval estate in the picturesque Provence region of France for approximately $60 million. The property, complete with its own winery and vineyards, represented more than just a business investment—it was where they exchanged vows in 2014 and created memories with their six children.
However, what started as a romantic venture has devolved into a bitter legal quagmire that has outlasted their marriage itself. Even after finalizing their divorce in December 2024—a process that stretched over eight grueling years—the former couple continues to clash over the winery’s ownership and control.
