Celebrity Wine War: Angelina’s Angry Take‑Back of Château Miraval
*Angelina Jolie, 47, is once again in the spotlight—this time not for a movie role but for a legal showdown that reads like the most dramatic rom‑com you never saw. The actress has filed a countersuit against her former husband, 58‑year‑old Brad Pitt, accusing him of orchestrating a coup to seize control of their shared Bordeaux‑style wine estate, Château Miraval.
It’s a headline‑worthy dispute that’s been blown up like a galaxy on the silver screen, but the truth is pretty down‑to‑earth. Below is the full rundown, reworked with a splash of humor and an extra pinch of relatability.
Angelina’s Counter‑Charge: Over $250 million in Damages
*- In the suit: New Localization, Angelina’s company, vows to recover more than $250 million for the alleged “hostile, destructive” manoeuvres of her ex‑husband.
- Documents say: “These counterclaims expose brute force—Brad’s plan to wrest control. Not Jolie, not Nouvel, not the rest.”
- Claim: Brad drugged their wine gods into a “freezing” isthmus—keeping the winery under his sole command.
What Brad’s “Good Wine” Story Actually Says
*- Paragraph from Brad’s claim: “This is a passion project. From an ounce of wine to a multimillion‑dollar juggernaut—he’s got those ‘red’ soul tales.”
- An accusation against Angelina: “She did nothing to Miraval’s success.”—A classic Hollywood ego check.
- He describes the winery as one of the world’s darling rose‑wine producers. Congratulations, Brad.
Key Allegations: Gaslighting, Asset‑Stripping, and Vanity Projects
*- Angelina claims Brad was an “gaslighter”, acting silent while sweeping away her share.
- He allegedly drained Miraval’s assets—£1 million on a luxury pool renovation and rebooting a château‑sized recording studio.
- She refused to accept a “hush” clause that would prevent her from speaking about their breakup, forcing her to sell her ownership to Tenute del Mondo, a Stoli Group subsidiary.
Drama Escalates: The “Eleventh‑Hour” Demands
*- The fight club actor demanded “onerous and irrelevant conditions” to buy the winery back.
- He wanted to hide the secrets of Jolie’s divorce from public view—name a tougher request in the arrival of cheating cunning.
- Released: Victim claims—no harm to the estate, just a half‑its‑et’s god plan, flawed by “gaslighting and bad spending.”
The Bottom Line: A Tale of Cast‑Away Exes & Power‑Play
*Angelina’s litigation unfolds like a rom‑com script: heartfelt defense, dramatic accusations, and an endless parade of wine‑twisted movie references. Her case matrix is sized in “multiplied a thousand times” damages and stands squarely against what she’s calling Brad’s power‑play.
Will Brad’s “ruptured relationship” interfere with his “multimillion‑dollar” destiny? The court’s creative writing remains to decide. One thing is certain—tale of Angelina and Brad is an act too real for the drama hat you’ll picture in a Netflix subtitle.
