Brad Pittis suing exAngelina Joliefor selling her stake in the vineyard they bought together, claiming she violated an agreement they’d previously made.
In 2008, the now-exes bought a controlling stake in the South of France vineyard, where they later got married in 2014, and spent several family holidays together throughout their relationship, per the lawsuit.
The property served as Pitt’s “profitable passion,” the claim states, as he developed it into a global, multimillion dollar venture.

Jolie’s lawyer Robert Olson said Friday that Jolie had not yet been served with the papers and was traveling with the couple’s children and unable to respond.
