REVEALED: Angelina Jolie Slammed For ‘Painting Herself As The Victim’ By Asking Brad Pitt To Drop His Lawsuit
Brad Pitt has reportedly refused Angelina Jolie’s plea to drop his lawsuit against her. The former couple have been embroiled in a heated legal battle over their French winery, Chateau Miraval.
Pitt sued Jolie for selling her 50 percent stake without his consent, seeking to void the sale and claiming it violated an agreement they made. Now, according to a source, Brad Pitt does not intend to drop his lawsuit because Angelina Jolie allegedly realizes she does not have a strong case.
Pitt and Jolie have been in a heated dispute over their shared French winery, Chateau Miraval, which they bought in 2008. The “Fight Club” actor sued Jolie for selling her 50 percent stake in the winery to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler for $67 million in October 2021 without his consent, violating their agreement to offer first refusal to each other.
Pitt wants the sale voided and is seeking monetary damages and legal fees. The case has now escalated into a contentious battle over NDAs. However, Jolie has reportedly asked Pitt to cease the legal fight to allow their family to heal, but insiders claim Pitt is determined to continue his lawsuit against Jolie, who allegedly portrayed herself as a “victim” in a bid to end their legal conflict.
An insider told the Daily Mail, “Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court.” According to the news outlet, the insider claimed that Jolie is trying to present herself as a “peacemaker” and a “victim” in their “business dispute.”
The insider said, “Angelina is asking him to put an end to the fighting as if she is a peacemaker. This is nothing more than to paint herself as the victim. This is not a fight. This is a business dispute over the sale of property that was ultimately going to be for their kids. It was their inheritance, and she knows this.”
