Angelina Jolie is reportedly optimistic that Brad Pitt will now refrain from ‘attacking her’ following the conclusion of their grueling eight-year divorce battle. Jolie hopes that the finalization of their divorce will enable Pitt to move on, stop attacking her, and help heal their family. Sources close to Jolie describe the divorce process as a nightmare, with the last eight years being a horrendous time for her and her family. Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, stated that Jolie is relieved to have closed this chapter and focused on finding peace and healing for their family since filing for divorce over eight years ago.
Despite Jolie’s hopes for a fresh start, a source close to Pitt pushed back on her claims, accusing Jolie of engaging in one-sided attacks for the past eight years and causing tremendous collateral damage to those in and around the family. The former couple officially settled their divorce on Monday after a contentious legal battle that lasted over eight years. However, there is still a $62 million dispute over the French château and vineyard they once co-owned, known as Château Miraval. Both parties are prepared to take the matter to a jury trial or pursue mediation if necessary.
The former Hollywood power couple share six children, three biological and three adopted. The children include Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Following the divorce, Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne reportedly dropped Pitt from their last name. While it is believed that Knox and Vivienne still maintain some contact with their father, Maddox and Pax are said to be estranged from him. Pitt is currently in a relationship with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, and while he is reportedly happier than ever, wedding bells are not in their immediate future.
Jolie’s sources describe Pitt as having used his power and privilege to cover up his conduct at his family’s expense, to punish Jolie for leaving, and even to paint her as the reason for his challenging relationship with the children. Pitt has accused Jolie of selling her stake in the winery at Château Miraval without his consent to the Stoli Group, known for its Stolichnaya vodka. Despite the progress in their divorce proceedings, the vineyard dispute remains unresolved. It is unclear how this dispute will be settled, with the parties willing to go to trial or mediation if needed.
After settling their divorce, Jolie and Pitt signed off on their divorce paperwork, closing this chapter in their lives. Jolie is said to be exhausted after more than eight years since filing for divorce, focusing on peace and healing for their family in that time. While Jolie hopes that Pitt will move on from attacking her and focus on healing their family, sources close to Pitt claim that Jolie has been engaging in one-sided attacks for years, causing harm to their family. Despite the settlement, the dispute over the Château Miraval vineyard shows no signs of resolution, indicating that the legal battles between Jolie and Pitt are far from over.
