Who would have thought that Pitt and Jolie, who have been divorcing since 2016, have not completely settled down to this day...
Recently, Jolie called out through her lawyer, asking her ex-husband Pitt for the sake of their family and children, revoked In the case of accusing Jolie of selling the winery, if Pitt refuses, then Jolie has no choice but to release some secret documents that "frighten Pitt". , everyone is in trouble...
Such a slogan can be regarded as a naked threat.
The divorce case has been going on for several years, and now we are fighting over a winery. Is that what matters?
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of divorce between the two...
(Pitt and Jolie)
Everything has to go back to the divorce incident in 2016.
At that time, Jolie and Pitt had been married for many years and raised eight children together. They were a model Hollywood family in the eyes of outsiders.
However, under the seemingly harmonious marriage, there is an undercurrent.
Pitt has been exposed many times as having a tendency to drink alcohol and domestic violence.
The "private plane incident" in 2016 became the trigger for their divorce.
At that time, the couple had an argument on the private plane. The eldest son Maddox couldn't stand supporting Jolie, and Pitt immediately became angry and threw Maddox down.

After that, Pitt refused to let go. He first took Jolie to the bathroom to verbally threaten and domestic violence, and later beat two other minor children.
After this incident, Julie finally made up her mind to divorce for the sake of her children and family.
Since then, Jolie and Pitt have begun a protracted divorce lawsuit, with the two parties fighting fiercely over child custody and property rights.
In 2019, the two officially went through the divorce procedures, but they were still at loggerheads over the issue of child custody.
By 2021, the child custody issue has been sorted out. Jolie retains primary custody of the minor children, while Pitt gains visitation rights.

The child custody issue has just come to an end, and the two are quarreling over property rights again.
The focus of the conflict is a French winery jointly owned by the two.
As early as 2008, when the two were still in love, they jointly invested in the purchase of Chateau Miraval in Clans, France.

In October 2021, Jolie sold half of her winery shares to a Russian businessman for US$67 million. This transaction made Pitt very angry.
Peter claimed that the two had previously had a "verbal agreement" and that if one of them wanted to sell his shares in the winery, he had to obtain the consent of the other half. If the other half is not satisfied with the buyer, they have the right to veto the transaction.
Pitt was very dissatisfied with Jolie's Russian buyer and firmly disagreed with the deal, but Jolie insisted on selling her shares in the winery.
In February 2022, Pitt officially took Jolie to court, asking the court to rule that Jolie's winery transaction was invalid and to compensate him for millions of dollars in liquidated damages.

The lawsuit lasted for more than two years, during which the two parties once reached a settlement.
Jolie proposed settlement terms and agreed to sell the winery shares to Pitt. It is said that the price has been negotiated, and Pitt promised to pay Jolie $250 million.
However, when Pitt agreed to buy the shares, he added an additional condition. required Jolie to sign a confidentiality agreement, which stipulated that Jolie could not tell the outside world (except in court) that Pitt had physically and mentally abused Jolie and her children. thing.
In Jolie's view, such a confidentiality agreement is simply "punishing and controlling" her, and trying to cover up Pitt's own abuse, and decisively rejected Pitt's quotes and proposals.
The negotiations broke down and the lawsuit between the two parties continued.
(Pete after the divorce)
Of course, Pete also firmly denied that the purchase of the winery came with a confidentiality agreement.
The lawsuit over the sale of the winery has started again and has lasted for more than two years.
Recently, I may be tired from the long-term legal battle, or I may have another hidden secret.
Jolie recently publicly shouted to Pitt:
For the sake of the children and the family, withdraw the lawsuit and stop making trouble.
Of course, Jolie did not just say good things, she also made other preparations:
If Pitt does not agree, then she is prepared to release some documentary evidence that scares Pitt.
Some media speculated that such documents are likely to be evidence reflecting Pitt's domestic violence and mental abuse during the trial.

At present, Pitt's lawyer has responded to Jolie's request, saying that Jolie's request is "cruel and threatening."
Although she said harsh words, the communication between the two parties has not been completely interrupted. It is said that Pitt and Jolie still communicate through a third party.
Let us wait and see whether Pitt will withdraw the lawsuit in the future, and whether this lawsuit can bring a complete end to the divorce farce between the two...
