The legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is still ongoing, and the most recent filing of the case discloses fresh details. Pitt recently accused Jolie of damaging the reputation of the wine business they co-owned by selling a portion to someone with supposed dubious professional associations.
The court documents state that Pitt and Jolie agreed not to sell their shares without each other's consent. According to Pitt's legal team, Miraval was his passion project and it later became a multimillion-dollar global business. Additionally, Pitt also mentioned that Jolie did not contribute anything to Miraval's success.
The legal team also mentioned that Jolie sold her interest to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of Stoli Group owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, who expressed interest in managing the winery.
The legal documents state that Shefler wants to get hold of confidential information for his benefit. They also accused Shefler of possessing 'cutthroat business tactics'. According to Pitt, Shefler may use these tactics to inflict harm as a form of reprisal over the custody battle.
