Angelina Jolie is suing Brad Pitt for selling her stake of the French property where they wedded.
Pitt and Jolie, once Hollywood’s most famous couple, purchased a controlling interest in Chateau Miraval in southern France in 2008 and married there six years later.
However, they filed for divorce in 2016 and have been embroiled in legal fights ever since, notably over custody of their six children.
The couple “agreed they would never sell their respective stakes in Miraval without the other’s approval,” according to a lawsuit filed by Pitt in California on Thursday.
However, according to a legal document obtained by AFP, Jolie sold her stake to a “Luxembourg-based spirits firm run by Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler” last October.
Jolie is attempting to “recover unjustified windfall earnings for herself while inflicting gratuitous pain on Pitt,” according to Pitt’s complaint. Jolie allegedly disregarded the terms of their initial agreement by not granting him first refusal for her part.
