Brad Pitt is again accusing Angelina Jolie of secretly selling her share of the winery they owned together, alleging she did it "to seize profits she had not earned and returns on an investment she did not make." In the new complaint, filed on June 1 and obtained by CBS News, Pitt calls his ex-wife "vindictive."
Pitt, 59, first sued Jolie, 47, in 2022, alleging she sold shares of Chateau Miraval Winery, which also includes a home, to a Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler.
Pitt would like to void the sale of the winery, located in the south of France. He said making wine has become his "passion" and said under himself and partner Marc Perrin the winery has grown into a "multimillion dollar global business and one of the world's most highly regarded makers of rosé wine," according to the new court filing.
