The former celebrity couple will face off in court next year as the long-running legal battle, or what has been dubbed the “rosé wine war”, progresses. The Daily Mail reports this.
After the judge recently rejected Angelina Jolie’s bid to dismiss Brad Pitt’s lawsuit over his French ties, the feuding actors must now go head-to-head. The Chateau Miraval estate, which produces award-winning sparkling rosé wine, is at the center of a long-running legal battle between the couple.
Angelina Jolie, 49, filed a motion to dismiss Pitt, 60,’s claims against her regarding a verbal agreement regarding equal ownership of the vineyard. She claims the arrangement was canceled after the artist asked her to sign a confidentiality document regarding their marriage. At the same time, it seemed that both sides were determined to devote all their strength to this issue.
“This was already disgusting, but it’s going to get even more disgusting when Angie seeks revenge on Brad and tries to settle old personal accounts,” a source familiar with the matter told the publication. By the way, this will also cost more; Ex-spouses already spend millions on lawsuits.
In the latest development in the controversial case, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Leah Martin denied the motion. Pitt’s lawyers argue that Jolie violated the couple’s agreement not to sell their shares in Miraval without the consent of both parties.
The former power couple, who rejected three pleas, will go to trial next year.
A source close to the actor said: “This is a simple business dispute, but unfortunately the other side constantly introduces personal elements that reveal weaknesses in their own case and also complicate and prolong the proceedings.” The Maleficent star will have 30 days to appeal the judge’s decision.
