Angelina Jolie has branded Brad Pitt’s lawsuit against her “frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern”.
The “Maleficent” actress sold a portion of their Chateau Miraval wine company to Tenute del Mondo, a Stoli Group subsidiary, which prompted her ex-husband to file a lawsuit because he claimed they had an apparent understanding that neither party would sell without the consent of the other. Since then, the ex-couple has been at odds.
And now, the 47-year-old actress – whose former company are countersuing Brad, rebutting his version of events – has insisted she didn’t need the ‘Bullet Train’ star’s approval to make the sale.
“Brad’s claims are branded “frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern.” in newly-filed documents obtained by RadarOnline.com.
“Pitt’s allegations that he and Ms. Jolie had a secret, unwritten, unspoken contract to a consent right on the sale of their interests in the property is directly contrary to the written record and, among other legal defects, violative of the Statute of Frauds and public policy.” the documents added.
The ongoing conflict made news in October when Angelina asserted in court documents that her ex-husband had “choked” one of their kids and “slapped another in the face” during a flight from France to California in September 2016.
Lawyers acting on behalf of the ‘Tomb Raider’ actress – who has Maddox, 21, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with her former spouse – claimed negotiations to sell her share of the alcohol business to her ex-husband broke down over his demand that she sign “a nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children.”
