Amid their ongoing divorce battle, Jolie has called Pitt’s claims ‘frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern’ as she wants to sell her portion of their winery.
In September, Jolie’s one-time company Nouvel sued Pitt for $250 million. The father-of-six, 58, accused Jolie, 47, of selling her portion of the winery with the intent to willfully ‘inflict harm’ by entering into the sale with a total ‘stranger,’ thus violating their agreement.
According to RadarOnline.com, who obtained court documents, Angelina slammed Brad’s claims as ‘frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern’ as her legal team provided an update to the legal battle this week.
The documents added, “Pitt’s allegations that he and Ms. Jolie had a secret, unwritten, unspoken contract to a consent right on the sale of their interests in the property is directly contrary to the written record and, among other legal defects, violative of the Statute of Frauds and public policy.”
This comes after an email resurfaced recently where Jolie explained the rationale behind her decision to sell her share of the property.
The ‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’ actress said she had written the email ‘so not to get emotional’ in explaining her rationale behind her decision to sell her share of the winery.’
“It is the place we brought the twins home to, and where we were married over a plaque in my mother’s memory,’ Jolie said.
”A place that held the promise of what could be and where I thought I would grow old. Even now impossible to write this without crying. I will treasure my memories of what it was a decade ago.”
The Los Angeles acknowledged that the winery “is also the place that marks the beginning of the end of our family – and a business that is centered around alcohol.”
Jolie and Pitt are parents to six children, three of which were adopted.
