Angelina Jolie has taken a decisive step in the ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband Brad Pitt over the ownership of the Miraval winery in France. In a recent court filing obtained by CNN, Jolie alleges a disturbing pattern of physical abuse by Pitt, dating back even before their highly publicized plane incident in 2016.
According to the documents filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Jolie asserts that she tried to sell her share of the winery to Pitt, but negotiations soured when Pitt insisted on a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) preventing her from speaking about his alleged abuse, thereby linking his personal reputation to the winery’s business interests.
This latest development is an offshoot of Pitt’s 2022 lawsuit, in which he claimed Jolie violated their agreement by selling her stake in Miraval without his consent. Pitt’s accusation came after what he described as an “adverse custody ruling” in 2023, labeling Jolie’s actions as retaliatory.
Angelina Jolie’s filing paints a picture of a history of abuse that predates the 2016 plane incident, although specific details of the alleged prior abuse are not disclosed. The documents indicate that Jolie was willing to sign an NDA limited to protecting Miraval’s wine business, but Pitt demanded broader terms, which Jolie refused.

In response to these allegations, Pitt’s representative has been contacted for comment by CNN. However, Jolie’s attorney, Paul Murphy, contends that Pitt’s refusal to purchase her stake in the winery unless she agreed to his NDA raises questions about what he sought to conceal, implying a connection to his alleged abuse.
Notably, Jolie opted not to pursue legal action against Pitt after the 2016 incident, believing it best for him to take responsibility and help the family heal from the trauma. Despite this, the legal wrangling continues, with Jolie expressing a desire for closure and healing for both herself and their children.
The Miraval dispute is just one facet of the ongoing legal saga between the former Hollywood power couple, who officially filed for divorce in 2016. While they were declared legally single in 2019 and established a joint custody arrangement in 2021, the complexities of their shared assets, including Miraval, continue to fuel legal battles.
As the legal proceedings drag on, Jolie hopes for a resolution and an end to the emotional and financial strain on her family. The desire for closure remains strong, with Jolie longing for a future where her children can be spared further pain and trauma, and where both she and Pitt can move forward.
