Page Six reports that the mother of six has allegedly used shady means to try and cut out the actor from a profitable deal regarding a home they co-own in France.
Court documents filed by Pitt in Luxembourg, obtained by the publisher on Tuesday, September 21, accused Jolie of trying to sell off her 50% stake in the posh estate, valued at R2,4 million (KSh 18 billion).
The actress has not given her ex-hubby the first option to buy her stake from the 1,000-acres Chateau Miraval estate in Correns, France. The estate houses a winery with terraced vineyards and is surrounded by olive groves and also pine trees. It specialises in rose wines.

The estate is special to the former couple, or was, as it is where they held their secret wedding ceremony only attended by their kids in 2014.
The Fury actor initially owned 60% of the Quimicum, the company that owns the Marival estate, but later transferred some of his shares to Jolie through her company Nouvel, making them equal partners.
Jolie's attempt to sell her stake could enable her to make a profit but at Pitt's expense.
Nouvel has also been accused of not acting in the best interest of Quimicum by delaying approval of the annual accounts and renewal of the manager.
A source who spoke to Page Six accused Jolie of trying to avoid the rules and obligations. The two movie stars divorced in 2019 after many years together.
