Angelina Jolie also wants to separate from her ex Brad Pitt as quickly as possible on business and has now taken the appropriate steps.
Angelina Jolie, 46, apparently wants absolutely nothing to do with her ex Brad Pitt, 57, in the future. The actress has now applied to the court to be able to sell her company shares in the joint winery in France. The Oscar winner can’t wait to cash in on her stake in Nouvel, LLC, Chateau Miraval in Provence.
Angelina Jolie: She wants to get rid of shares in the winery with Brad Pitt
The company shares of both owners – Brad and Angelina – have been temporarily frozen by the court, which happens automatically when divorce proceedings begin. But Angelina can’t wait to get rid of her part of the company and apparently already has a buyer on the hook. Jolie wants the court to lift the injunction on the sale as soon as possible. Jolie says she reached out to Pitt’s legal team, but the decision doesn’t seem to be quick enough. Therefore, she has now turned on the court and officially applied for the suspension to be lifted, reports TMZ.
Separate paths on all levels
In the court documents, Jolie adds that she fears her potential buyer may be bailed out if the assets are frozen for longer. Pitt and Jolie bought the winery in 2011 for $ 60 million – the equivalent of around 51 million euros – and their wine business has been booming ever since. What the winery is worth today is not known, but the value is likely to have increased significantly.
Another chapter in the protracted litigation between the former Hollywood dream couple in the divorce war and the custody battle for their six children. The actress filed for divorce in 2016. In May it was announced that Brad Pitt had been awarded 50/50 custody of her five underage children. A bitter pill for Jolie, who hoped to be able to claim sole custody of their children. But she also wants to take legal action against this decision.
