Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie ‘War of the Rose’ update
This month, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed Angelina Jolie’s efforts to have the case thrown out, clearing the path for the legal battle to continue. While the case is moving forward, the Stoli Group, which purchased Jolie’s shares, is also attempting to have the lawsuit dismissed, with a hearing set for March.
According to InTouch Brad Pitt claims Angelina Jolie sold her stake in their French winery, Château Miraval, for $54.4 million but backed out “feigning concern over the terms of a proposed non-disparagement agreement in connection with the deal.”
However, Pitt’s legal team alleges the real reason was a secret deal with the Stoli Group, a Russian company. Pitt claims he was unaware of these negotiations.
Following that, a trial date could be set for April. However, due to the complexity of the case, it’s possible the dispute won’t reach a courtroom until 2026.
What is the lawsuit about?
The fight in court is all about a $500 million piece of property that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie each had half of when they were married. But things got messy after Jolie decided to split up in 2016. She sold her shares to a Russian company without informing Pitt, a move that allegedly violated a prior agreement granting Pitt the right of first refusal. Pitt’s legal team claims that Jolie’s actions were driven by personal animosity and a desire to financially hurt him.

In response, Jolie countered with accusations, revealing intimate details about their relationship in legal filings. She claimed that she did not sell to Pitt because he insisted she sign a restrictive non-disclosure agreement covering alleged past misdeeds, and that he demanded access to her previous NDAs. Additionally, Angelina’s Nouvel sued Brad for $350 million, alleging misuse of the winery’s assets.
