The lawsuit between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt added a new episode after leaking an email the actress had sent to her ex-husband as proof of their claims to the vineyard they both bought in France. As published on the website Radar Online, who received a copy of the message the actress wrote to Pitt in 2021, in which Jolie told her ex-husband that she wanted to leave the business,

The couple had acquired the Chateau Miraval estate for $164 million with the plan to inherit it from his children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Pitt sued Jolie after she sold her shares in the company to a third company called Stoli, run by a Russian oligarch named Yuri Shefler.

According to the actor, Jolie had promised not to make any sales without his consent. However, she would have violated this agreement. In addition, Pitt alleged that Stoli and Shefler conducted a hostile takeover of the company. In his lawsuit, the star is asking for the sale to be annulled.

At the same time, The actor was sued by Jolie’s previous company for $250 million, which accused him and his team of misappropriating chateau assets.

One of them is the email he sent Pitt on January 21, 2021, to inform him that he was leaving Chateau. The message was sent at 14:02.

The email Angelina Jolie submitted as evidence

“I put this in writing so I wouldn’t get emotional while talking,” he wrote. “It is with a heavy heart that I have come to a painful decision that I want to share with you. You know how much he wanted to buy Miraval as a family business, as a place to visit together, and as a place for diplomatic and humanitarian meetings. Most importantly, it is where we brought the twins home and where we got married, on a plaque commemorating my mother. A place that held the promise of what could be and where I thought I would grow old Even now, it is impossible for me to write this without crying. I will cherish my memories of how it was a decade ago,” he continued.

“But it is also the place that marks the beginning of the end of our family and of a company specializing in alcohol,” the letter continued. “I’ve tried to keep an open mind about the business and see it as something that could be positive for our family, so I haven’t given up. I was hoping that somehow it would become something that would hold us together and help us find light and peace. Now I see that you really wanted me to go, and I am sure you will appreciate this email“.

The actress stated that she did not agree with the management of the company. “Over the last four years, I have seen a lot of reckless behavior, spent money in ways I would not have approved, and made decisions I was not consulted about. It pained me that decisions were made that showed no interest in dividing the company or fundamentally transforming it into something that would be healthier for our children.

“I was particularly shocked by the recent alcohol sales strategy. I find it irresponsible and don’t want children to see it. “It reminded me of painful times,” Jolie argued. “It tells me very clearly that I cannot share the vision that you and others in the industry have. I don’t think I can get involved in an alcohol business, publicly or privately.When alcoholic behavior caused so much damage to our family,” she said harshly, referring to the argument between them on a private plane that led to her filing for divorce.

“I see two possibilities, assured the star, who in his writing supported the option for Pitt to sell the company and get away ‘from this tough and painful chapter of our lives’.

Jolie said if Pitt didn’t like the proposal, she would agree to purchase the property and business from him. “In any case, I believe we need to move on and focus on what connects our families and what is positive in our communities. And fast. “I hope that we can come to a decision on the matter privately, as I do not wish to reveal any family issues or damage the businesses of the families involved,” the actress summarized the pending litigation.
