Brad Pitt launches a $35 million lawsuit against his ex-wife, preparing to publicize shocking evidence

Brad Pitt demanded $35 million in compensation from Angelina Jolie and made public documents related to Château Miraval. The December 17 trial in California is considered the end of the conflict and power of the two stars.

Nearly a decade after their split, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still inseparable, as Château Miraval — where the couple held their wedding and witnessed family moments with their six children — became the center of a three-year lawsuit. Pitt accused his ex-wife of violating the agreement by voluntarily selling her farm shares, demanding $35 million in compensation and making public 22 internal documents. The next hearing, which took place on December 17 in California, is considered by lawyers to be the "final chapter" of the rose wine war, ending a tumultuous ten years for the Hollywood family.

While Brad Pitt was adamant in the lawsuit, Angelina Jolie was almost exhausted. An email to the legal team, revealed by the Financial Express, shows the star expressing exhaustion: "I need to get rid of all the stress. Honestly, I'm sick of anxiety."

Once a powerful, independent symbol, humanitarian activist and mother of six, Jolie's image of power has faded. Nearly ten years of being entangled in lawsuits, the public now sees in her more fatigue than glory. Jolie's acting career is no longer as brilliant as before. A source close to Vanity Fair told Vanity Fair: "Angelina used to have it all – fame, talent, power. Now she has to weigh every expense for her children, while each letter from the court is like a new blow."

Not only suffering material damage, Jolie also gradually withdrew from Hollywood. After Brad Pitt's involvement in flight violence in 2016 — the case was later closed for lack of evidence — her image of power is only a thing of the past. Appearances at the event leave a sad impression, as Vanity Fair commented, each trial is like a new cut that makes a strong person like Jolie also fall.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt gradually regained his position. After a series of favorable rulings in Luxembourg and Los Angeles, the actor became the largest shareholder of Miraval with 50% of the shares, the Stoli Group holds 40%, the remaining 10% is temporarily managed by the court. This position not only helps Pitt preserve the Miraval brand, but also almost takes absolute control. In addition to the court, Pitt also scored points in the public eye with his F1 film project produced with Apple Studios, which was considered a spectacular comeback at the age of 62. People said: "Pitt is winning both in court and on the public front."

On Jolie's side, Brad Pitt accused her of violating the agreement "not to sell Miraval shares without the consent of both parties". In 2021, Jolie reportedly sold shares to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli group, without prior notice. Pitt's lawyers called this a "financial betrayal" and accused her of wanting to sabotage the joint effort.

Angelina Jolie immediately hit back, insisting that there was no legally binding agreement and that Pitt wanted to use the lawsuit to control and exert psychological pressure. The hearing on December 17 is expected to decide whether Jolie must pay $35 million in compensation and provide Miraval documents. This lawsuit is not only a property dispute, but also a battle for the right to redefine the past of two famous Hollywood stars.
