Actor Brad Pitt has secured a legal victory in his ongoing dispute with former wife Angelina Jolie over the sale of her stake in the French winery they once jointly owned. A court has ordered representatives of the company that purchased Jolie’s interest in the estate to provide testimony and documents related to the transaction.
The ruling allows Pitt’s legal team to question executives linked to the sale of Jolie’s share of the winery to Luxembourg-based Stoli Group’s wine division. Pitt alleges that Jolie sold her stake without his consent, violating an agreement that neither party would dispose of their interest without the other’s approval.
Jolie has denied the allegations, arguing she had the legal right to sell her share after negotiations with Pitt broke down. The legal dispute has continued for several years and remains one of the most closely watched aspects of the former couple’s post-divorce litigation.
The latest ruling is expected to provide additional evidence as both sides prepare for further court proceedings over ownership and control of the winery.
