Angelina Jolie Scores Win in Winery Lawsuit Connected to Alleged Brad Pitt Abuse: She ‘Never Wanted Any of This’

“If he does not,” the lawyer added, “Angelina will defend herself in court by presenting the evidence necessary to demonstrate that Pitt’s allegations are demonstrably false.”

Reps for Pitt did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

This legal dispute, brought by Pitt, is in regards to Jolie selling her half of their winery estate Château Miraval to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli Group, in 2022, allegedly breaking an agreement they had to not sell without the other’s approval.

Earlier this month, Pitt scored an important victory in the winery battle, inching the case closer to trial with potential proof that there was a written agreement between the former couple as well about selling. A Pitt source said of the judge siding with him that time, “This is a clear victory for Brad which demonstrates the legitimacy of his claims and demonstrates yet again the other side’s talk is not backed up with substance.”

Jolie filed for divorce days after a Sept. 14, 2016 flight on a private plane on which Pitt allegedly became abusive while drunk in front of the kids. Pitt, who has since become sober, has denied being abusive and was cleared by authorities after investigations at the time. (Jolie’s lawyers claimed in a previous winery filing that Pitt’s “history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before” the plane incident.)

Pitt and Jolie, who were declared legally single by a judge in 2019, share six kids: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. Several of the kids have dropped Pitt from their last name and have little contact with Pitt and his side of the family.

Separately, Jolie and Pitt are slowly approaching a divorce settlement over eight years after their breakup. “Both sides are still talking,” a source close to the couple told PEOPLE in July of remaining issues in the divorce negotiations, “but it’s not done yet.” Added an insider at the time, “All the bitterness is partly why the divorce has dragged on for so many years. Neither will let it go.”
