Angelina Jolie branded ‘vindictive’ amid new lawsuit by ex-husband Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has reportedly been accused of “systematic obstruction” in a new lawsuit allegedly brought against her on behalf of her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.

The A-list star has also been blasted as “vindictive” by a source close to the proceedings, claims the Daily Mail.

According to the Mail’s new court papers, Jolie’s company is alleged to have tried to sell her 50% share in the property and winery of the divorcing couple in France. Pitt also accused Jolie of violating Pitt’s right to first refusal and the profit from the brand.

They own the Chateau Miraval in Correns France, which is now worth $164m.

The Chateau, along with the 1,000-acre estate that lies close to Aix-en-Provence was once the couple’s romantic getaway.

The celebrity pair even got married in a private ceremony at the lavish property back in 2004.

On Tuesday, Luxembourg filed the papers to sue for the property in Correns (France)

According to the Daily Mail Quimicum is the owner of Miraval. Brad had originally owned a 60% share through Mondo Bongo, while Angelina was able to hold 40% through Nouvel.

Brad transferred 10% of Mondo Bongo shares to Jolie’s business three years prior to the couple’s divorce. This made them 50/50 shareholders in Quimicum.

However, the lawsuit claims that Jolie has been trying to sell her shares and block her ex-husband’s profit from the “incredible amount of work, time and money,” invested in the brand by Pitt and his business partners.

The lawsuit alleges that the ten percent transfer doesn’t stand as the shares were not sold for a “serious” amount as the Luxembourg law requires, having been sold for just one Euro.

The massive asset is valued at more than $140 million Euros, which roughly equates to $164 million dollars.

The suit claims: “It is worth mentioning that, for the last four years, Nouvel [Jolie’s company] did not act in the best interest of Quimicum by systematically delaying the approval of the annual accounts and the renewal of the manager,”

“We understand that behind this systematic obstruction, the real purpose of Nouvel and its shareholder [Jolie] is to sell its stake in Chateau Miraval SA in a way that would circumvent Mondo Bongo’s right of first refusal (as provided in Quimicum’s articles of approval), taking, as a result, a capital gain raised thanks to Mondo Bongo’s investment and to which Nouvel did not contribute”.

A source close to the court proceedings told the Mail: “Angelina’s actions towards Brad are consistently vindictive.

“It’s another example of this person trying to circumvent the rules and avoid their obligations.”

Brad and Angelina split in August 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce – citing “irreconcilable differences” on the papers.

She also requested primary custody of their six children, Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15 and twins Vivienne and Nox, 12.

Pitt won joint custody of his kids earlier this year after a bitter court battle with his ex-wife.
