Brad Pitt Accuses Ex-wife Angelina Jolie of Intentionally Trying To “Inflict Harm” On Him And His Interests in Their Chateau Miraval Winery
Brad Pitt is accusing his ex of intentionally trying to “inflict harm” on him and his interests in their Chateau Miraval Winery.
In new legal docs filed in Los Angeles on Friday, June 3, Pitt’s lawyers claim Angelina Jolie sold her stake in their winery to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler in an effort to damage Pitt’s involvement in the company.
Pitt first sued Jolie over the sale of her shares of Miraval back in February and was seeking monetary damages, legal fees and for Jolie’s sale of Miraval to Shefler to be voided.
In these latest docs, Pitt’s attorneys claim that “Jolie sought to inflict harm on Pitt” and allege that she “knew and intended that Shefler and his affiliates would try to control the business Pitt had built and to undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval.”
“The vineyard became Pitt’s passion — and a profitable one, as Miraval, under Pitt’s stewardship, has grown into a multimillion-dollar global business and one of the world’s most highly regarded producers of rosé wine,” the documents claim.
“Jolie, meanwhile, contributed nothing to Miraval’s success. Instead, she allowed Pitt to pour money and sweat equity into the business in reliance on the consent right she owed him and a right of first refusal her business entity owed his.”
The new documents claim that, since obtaining a stake in Miraval, Shefler – the owner of SPI Group, an international alcohol sales consortium – has allegedly “launched a hostile takeover of the wine business, destabilizing Miraval’s operations and seeking access to Miraval’s confidential and proprietary information for the benefit of his competing enterprise.”
“In violation of the parties’ agreement, Jolie has sought to force Pitt into partnership with a stranger, and worse yet, a stranger with poisonous associations and intentions,” the docs state, alleging that Shefler “also maintains personal and professional relationships with individuals in Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.”
“Pitt – through significant financial investment and years of sweat equity – has built a highly successful family-owned business. Miraval has correspondingly grown massively in value since 2008 and is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars,” the docs claim. “Meanwhile, Jolie has not returned to Miraval since filing for divorce in 2016.”
“Jolie pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt’s contractual rights,” the lawsuit alleges.
According to Pitt’s lawsuit back in February, the 58-year-old actor also claimed that per the terms of their divorce, which was finalized in 2019, the couple had a “mutual understanding” that neither of them could sell off their interest in the winery without the other’s consent.
Last July, in a separate suit, when Jolie went to court, she told a judge she reached an agreement to sell her interest to an unnamed person, which Pitt agreed to consider in September. However, Pitt claims per their “mutual understanding,” that he’d be given the right of first refusal, which he claims was not given to him by Jolie.
According to the documents, when Pitt found out in October that a company called Tenute del Mondo – a subsidiary of the vodka company Stoli Group controlled by Shefler – bought her interest in the winery, he was shocked, etonline.com reports.

Meet the Man Who Turned Hype Into a Science: Emmy Blaq, Nigeria’s G.O.A.T. of Hype
If you have ever been at a Nigerian event and found yourself on your feet before the main act even stepped on stage, there is a good chance a hype man was responsible. But not just any hype man. Emmy Blaq, born Ikechukwu Emmanuel Chima and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has spent the last few years quietly becoming the most talked-about name in that profession, and the Nigerian press has taken notice. Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation, and Independent Newspaper have all sat down with him, and every conversation leads back to the same thing: this man does not just make noise; he makes moments.
What makes Emmy Blaq different is the journey behind the energy. Before the stages, the collaborations with Waje on her “Waje 2.0” album, DJ Consequence, and DJ Kaywise on the massively streamed “Joor Party Mix” series, he was repairing generators, cutting hair, and sewing clothes in Auchi. His first professional hype gig happened at a local fast food spot called Valchi, and the crowd response that night changed everything. He told The Nation directly: “My passion for entertainment and desire to make people happy led me into the craft.” Punch also captured his bigger mission when he said that hype men deserve more than what they currently earn, a statement that sparked a real conversation across Nigerian entertainment circles.
With over 1.7 million TikTok followers, 23.6 million TikTok likes, a viral “Wife Material” challenge that landed on Pulse Nigeria’s top ten social media moments of 2021, and an international performance at the Cameroon International Music Festival that Cameroonian media described as electrifying, Emmy Blaq is not building toward something. He is already there. The G.O.A.T. of Hype is not a title he gave himself and hoped would stick. It is one the rooms keep confirming every single time he grabs the mic.
