Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of selling her share of their winery
For the past six years Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in an ongoing feud and this time it’s about their winery estate
Actor Brad Pitt is accusing his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie of selling her share in their French winery.
In 2021, Angelina Jolie sold her share of their Chateau Miraval winery to a company run by Yuri Shefler, who owns Russian vodka Stolichnaya.
The Stolichnaya brand has previously faced scrutiny and boycotts for its alleged ties to Russia and President Vladimir Putin.
Pitt’s lawyers have filed documents against Jolie claiming her motivation was to “inflict harm on Pitt”.
It is alleged Jolie knew about the previous problematic associations with the Stolichnaya brand and how Shelfer operates in business.
“Jolie knew and intended that Shefler and his affiliates would try and control the businesses Pitt had built and to undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval,” court documents say.
Reports suggest the judge recent made the decision to issue shared custody of the pair’s children.
While lawyers have called Jolie’s actions deceitful and intending to cause damage, the actress is yet to comment on these claims.

Adidas is contemplating a significant financial blow as it considers writing off $320 million worth of Yeezy shoes following its separation from music and fashion icon Kanye West.
The sportswear giant’s decision to sever ties with West’s Yeezy brand has left a mountain of unsold merchandise, threatening to dent the company’s balance sheet.
The partnership between Adidas and Kanye West, which began in 2013, had been immensely successful, with Yeezy shoes becoming a highly sought-after fashion statement.
However, recent controversies and disagreements between West and Adidas prompted the sportswear company to distance itself from the celebrity designer.
The massive inventory of Yeezy shoes now presents a dilemma for Adidas, as it grapples with finding a solution to deal with the surplus stock. A $320 million write-off could significantly impact the company’s financial performance in the short term.
Adidas is currently exploring various options, including discounting, donating, or repurposing the unsold inventory to mitigate the financial hit.

The message underlined the need for the industry to adapt to the evolving landscape of content creation and distribution, particularly in the digital era.
This warning from Warner Bros Discovery highlights the need for the entertainment industry to recognise the ever-changing dynamics and economic challenges, and the importance of preparedness to maintain its prominent position in the global market.
Philanthropic YouTuber MrBeast, known for his outlandish and extravagant charity stunts, recently financed the construction of 100 wells in Africa, providing clean drinking water to thousands of people.
While the philanthropic gesture is commendable on the surface, it has ignited a wave of controversy and criticism from various quarters.
Critics argue that MrBeast’s approach, although well-intentioned, might not be the most sustainable solution to Africa’s water crisis.
They question the long-term viability of these wells, raising concerns about maintenance and local ownership. Some have even labelled it as a publicity stunt, arguing that it merely scratches the surface of a much deeper issue.
On the other hand, MrBeast’s supporters laud his efforts in raising awareness and mobilising his enormous following to contribute to a worthy cause. They argue that any effort to alleviate the water crisis is a step in the right direction.
In the end, whether MrBeast’s 100 wells in Africa are a game-changing philanthropic success or a mere spectacle remains a subject of intense social debate.
