Angelina Jolie war with Brad Pitt over sale of lavish French wine estate turns in his favor as secretive vodka billionaire buyer forced to testify

Brad Pitt will get to go face to face with the secretive vodka billionaire who bought Angelina Jolie's stake in their Chateau Miraval vineyard, in yet another legal victory for the actor, the Daily Mail can reveal.The California Court of Appeal reversed a lower court decision that had allowed Yuri Shefler - the Swiss-based owner of the Stolichnaya vodka empire - to walk away from the lawsuit by claiming he had little involvement in the $64 million deal that made him Pitt's unwilling business partner.It is the latest major legal victory in Pitt’s lengthy and bitter battle over the wine estate with his ex-wife.Angelina knew Brad didn’t want to sell her share of Miraval to Shefler, and she had agreed with Brad that he would have first right of refusal. So selling to Shefler behind Brad’s back was spiteful,’ an insider told the Daily Mail.‘This was payback after the custody dispute. And now Shefler will have to divulge what really happened behind the scenes and how the deal was orchestrated.’The unanimous ruling, handed down by a three-judge panel on Wednesday, found that Shefler had ‘purposefully availed himself’ of California jurisdiction.‘It defies credulity that Shefler, a sophisticated businessman, would risk almost $40 million on a transaction about which he knew nothing and with which he had no involvement,’ the court wrote.Shefler, the billionaire behind Cyprus-registered SPI Group and its Dutch subsidiary Tenute del Mondo, had argued he was a Swiss resident who played no role in the six-month negotiation that saw Jolie quietly sell her 50 percent stake to his company in September 2021.The lower court had sided with Shefler, finding that because negotiations were conducted between European representatives in Europe over a French vineyard, California could not exercise jurisdiction over him.But the appeals court dismantled that argument, finding that Shefler had personally guaranteed $39 million of his own funds to secure Jolie's installment payments.He even sent her direct letters thanking her for ‘accepting my offer,’ and instructed his lieutenants throughout the deal.His own staff referred to him as ‘The Founder’ and ‘Mr. S’ in internal emails as they scrambled to manage Pitt's furious reaction to the acquisition.
In one letter, Shefler even thanked Jolie for her ‘trust in me and my company. I can assure you that Miraval is safe with me.’‘I would also like to thank you for your willingness to assist in resolving potential issues with the remaining shareholders of the company,' he added.‘Obviously this is a unique transaction and in certain respects it is not as straightforward as we would all like it to be.’In another internal email, sent while Jolie was still allegedly stalling over signing an exclusivity agreement, an aide told her Luxembourg-based attorney that ‘Mr Shefler is considering that advice’ on whether to withdraw. Pitt, 61, first sued Jolie, 50, in February 2022, alleging she had secretly sold her half of their beloved Provençal estate - where the former couple married in 2014 - without his consent. He claims that he and Jolie had an implied agreement that neither would sell their share to a third party without the other's approval - a deal Jolie's side has denied ever existed.In his lawsuit, Pitt alleged that Shefler had ‘orchestrated the purchase in secret to facilitate the breach of Pitt's rights and to prevent him from protecting or exercising his rights.’Shefler reached out to Pitt directly by letter in October 2021 hoping to smooth things over, expressing hope that Pitt would accept ‘there is a new partner.’ Pitt refused.Shefler had purchased a California company - Nouvel LLC, the entity Jolie used to hold her Miraval interest - from a California resident.The purchase agreement and the exclusivity agreement that preceded it were both governed by California law with California forum-selection clauses.His $39 million bank guarantee was addressed to Jolie, care of her Los Angeles-based business manager Terry Bird.‘It was these contacts by Shefler with California in purchasing a California company from a California resident that caused the injury to another California resident and California company that is the subject of the lawsuit,’ the court ruled.The two film stars have been locked in a bitter battle over the vineyard and winery ever since, with Jolie's cross-complaint accusing Pitt of waging a ‘vindictive war’ against her that has devalued Miraval and blocked her company from participating in its management.The ruling paves the way for Shefler to face trial alongside the other defendants, creating a showdown with both Jolie and Pitt in court.The case - now involving a combined estate valuation of approximately $164 million - is scheduled for trial on February 1, 2027, with mediation ordered for October 28.Shefler had also been fighting Pitt's attempts to depose him.In March, Pitt filed a motion arguing Shefler played ‘a central rather than passive role’ in the dispute and demanding he sit for questioning.Shefler opposed that request, too, again citing his Swiss residency. The new ruling makes that argument significantly harder to sustain.The development comes just as Jolie opened up about the effect the legal war has taken on her, telling Variety last week that her fighting spirit is finally back’ after admitting she had been ‘taken down a little bit.’ She declined to name Pitt directly but said: ‘They know me more than anybody, and they still like me, which says a lot’ - a pointed reference to her children.
The Maleficent actress also argued in court filings that she and the children have never set foot on Miraval since the split ‘given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce.’She also said she handed Pitt full control of their family homes ‘without compensation, which I hoped would make him calmer in his dealings with me after a difficult and traumatic period.’The roots of the split trace back to a September 2016 flight from France to Los Angeles that Jolie has described as violent.In a court filing, she alleged Pitt grabbed her by the head, shoved her against a bathroom wall, and struck one of their children. Pitt has disputed her account.He also won a ruling in March rejecting claims his suit was ‘frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern.’In December, a judge ordered Jolie to hand over 22 documents - emails and internal communications her team had sought to shield as attorney-client privileged - after Pitt argued they were nothing more than ‘business gossip’ between Jolie and her trusted aides.In the wake of the latest legal development, Jolie's attorney Paul Murphy told the Daily Mail that 'the ruling has no impact on the merits of the case, and certainly has no impact on Ms Jolie’s case.''At this point, Ms Jolie is just looking forward to defeating the case at trial next year so that their family can finally focus their energies on healing and moving on,' he added. Representatives for Shefler did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Angelina Jolie spotted in LA after son Pax's rare outing amid shock twist in his relationship with Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie is returning to the public domain with her film Couture as she prepares to bid farewell to Los Angeles.The 51-year-old actress appeared to be on a mission on Saturday as she stepped out in the sweltering city, where temperatures hovered around 77 degrees F.Jolie practically absorbed the heat in an all-black outfit comprised of a loosely fitting top and skinny jeans.Wearing opaque shades and her mahogany-hued hair styled in a casual updo, she strutted to her car while shouldering a large black tote bag.The outing follows news that her son Pax, 22, who was spotted on a rare outing in Los Angeles the same day, still retains ties to the paternal side of his family and hasn't filed to remove Pitt from his name, despite his estrangement from father Brad Pitt, according to Page Six.'Pax still has a relationship with his dad's side of the family and continues to spend time with them,' a source told the outlet. 'He recently joined his family as they went out to dinner and celebrated his cousin Sydney’s engagement to Archimede Jerome.' The gathering was also attended by Pitt's sister Julie Pitt Neal and his niece Reagan Pitt along with other family members.Back in March, Sydney announced her engagement on Instagram, writing: 'I said yes (duh).'Pax, however, 'doesn’t have much of a relationship with Brad,' a second source noted.Pax was 16 years old when he shared a scathing Father's Day message in an Instagram Story, calling Pitt a 'world class a**hole' who made his younger children 'tremble in fear.'In 2024, when the 'nepo baby' suffered a traumatic head injury following his electric bike accident, his father was reportedly unable to reach him or visit him in the hospital.His siblings have taken steps to distance themselves from the F1 star, 62.Jolie and Pitt adopted Maddox, 24, Pax and Zahara, 21, and are also the parents of three biological children, Shiloh, 20, and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
The Daily Mail confirmed that Maddox filed paperwork in May to have Pitt removed from his surname for 'personal' reasons.Zahara filed a petition to switch her name from Jolie-Pitt to merely Pitt this month.Knox, who turns 18 on July 12, dropped Pitt from his diploma when he graduated from Fusion Academy in Los Angeles on June 5, per Page Six, while his twin sister Vivienne has formally begun using just Jolie in all walks of life as opposed to Jolie-Pitt.Shiloh legally dropped her father's moniker after turning 18.Pax has not done so, and his continued closeness with the Pitt side of the family may be a reason.Meanwhile, Jolie recently reflected on returning to acting and how she has overcome challenges in her personal life since her and Pitt's high-profile divorce, which was finalized in December 2024.'I think my fighting spirit is finally back. I lost it for a bit,' she told Variety. 'I got kind of taken down a little bit and it's coming back in large part thanks to my children, who are now older, and encouraging it.'Jolie, who listed her Los Feliz compound, formerly owned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B DeMille, for $29.85 million in May, per People, said her kids 'want to see me traveling the world, they want me to get out and do things. They know me more than anybody, and they still like me, which says a lot.'I think they're very encouraging of me kind of getting back to aspects of myself that maybe I hadn't felt as free to do.' The Couture actress explained that returning to her work on camera was actually motivated by doing right by her children.'I had kind of quit acting before my divorce. I was focusing on directing, and I thought I'd be doing my international work,' she explained.'But then suddenly the only way to be home more and for short periods of time being away or to make a good amount of money, was to go back to acting.'I was only taking things that were short or close by or I could take [my children].'

Angelina Jolie's son Pax, 22, surfaces in LA after bombshell revelation about his relationship to Brad Pitt
- Details

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's son Pax surfaced in Los Angeles Saturday, amid stunning claims he has retained ties to his father's family. Pax's elder brother Maddox, 24, recently became the latest of 'Brangelina's' six children to file legal documents asking to drop the surname Pitt. The former Hollywood power couple biologically conceived their daughter Shiloh, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17, and also adopted Maddox, Pax and Zahara, 21.In 2020, Pax furiously denounced Pitt as a 'world class a**hole' who made his younger children 'tremble in fear,' and when the 'nepo baby' was in a dirt bike accident four years later, his father was reportedly unable to visit him in the hospital. However a source alleged this week that Pax, 22, still meets with his paternal extended family and has not filed to excise Pitt from his name, according to Page Six. In the wake of the report, Pax was spotted filling up his vintage Charger RT during a weekend outing in sweltering Los Angeles.Pax's sister Shiloh legally dropped her father's family name last year, while Zahara and Vivienne have also informally switched from Jolie-Pitt to merely Jolie. The Daily Mail confirmed Maddox submitted paperwork this May to have Pitt officially taken off his double-barreled surname for 'personal' reasons. Pax, on the other hand, has not done so, and a source maintained he 'still has a relationship with his dad’s side of the family and continues to spend time with them.' According to the insider, Pax 'recently joined his family as they went out to dinner and celebrated his cousin Sydney’s engagement to Archimede Jerome,' in a party that also included Brad Pitt's sister Julie and niece Reagan. However another source explained that Pax 'doesn’t have much of a relationship with Brad,' who is currently in the midst of a nearly four-year romance with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, the ex-wife of The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley. Near the end of last month, Maddox filed paperwork with the aim of formalizing the name change he had already put into practice months earlier. In his mother's new French movie Couture, which was released this February and also starred Louis Garrel, he was credited merely as Maddox Jolie. Two years earlier, he had been referred to by the name Maddox Jolie-Pitt in the credits of Jolie's Oscar-nominated Maria Callas biopic Maria.'Brangie' plunged into a seething feud after their split, and over the course of their divorce battle she accused him of being abusive, which he firmly denied. Pitt is said to be estranged from his children, an impression buttressed by the growing number of them who have dropped his surname.
The former couple infamously fell in love during the making of their 2005 movie Mr & Mrs Smith while he was still married to his first wife Jennifer Aniston. Jolie, the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, maintained that she did not have an affair with Pitt while he was with Aniston. 'To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive,' she said on Today. 'I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.' Fans around the world began siding with 'Team Jolie' or 'Team Aniston,' as a furor erupted over the love triangle with Pitt at its center. Pitt and Jolie married in 2014 but split two years later, triggering an explosive legal battle over money and custody that rages on to this day. Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016, after a mysterious dispute on a private plane in the presence of Maddox, who was then 15. Early in the proceedings, the FBI looked into allegations that Pitt became 'physical' with Maddox on the jet, but the investigation was closed with no charges filed. Jolie allegedly filed a Freedom of Information Act request as 'Jane Doe' in 2021 related to the FBI documents about the fateful 2016 plane ride. She apparently dropped the action against the FBI on September 25, 2024, via legal documents obtained by In Touch magazine. However, in court papers she had filed that April in a property dispute, Jolie accused Pitt of having been abusive to her 'well before' the plane ride. Meanwhile Pax suffered a terrifying accident when he crashed his dirt bike into a car in Los Angeles while not wearing a helmet in July 2024. Sources informed the Daily Mail that Jolie was 'by his side in hospital,' while Pitt was 'distraught and worried over Pax's accident, but he is unable to reach him.'The accident came four years after Pax unleashed an explosive social media tirade calling his father a 'world class a**hole' and a 'terrible and despicable person' who had caused his four younger children to 'tremble in fear.' Jolie and Pitt are also still entangled in a legal conflict over the Chateau Miraval, the winery they once shared as a couple in the South of France.The feud over the property stems from the fact Jolie sold her half to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler for $62 million in 2021, amid her divorce proceedings. Shefler presides over a vast international alcohol empire including Stolichnaya and once sold a superyacht to Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman. Pitt sued Jolie over the Chateau Miraval sale, insisting she was contractually obligated to obtain his consent as co-owner before offloading her portion. Jolie has brought up her abuse allegations and custody battle over the course of her years-long battle of wills with Pitt over the winery. She has asked Pitt to 'end the fighting' and drop the Chateau Miraval lawsuit against her so that their family can have a chance to 'heal.'

Angelina Jolie reveals what she wore from her late mother's estate while filming the heartbreaking movie Couture

Angelina Jolie wore something that belonged to her late mother Marcheline Bertrand when filming her new movie Couture.The Oscar-winning actress told People she had on a gold necklace that her mom used to wear while playing filmmaker Maxine Walker for the Paris-set drama.The 50-year-old star can be seen in the trailer wearing the necklace which has a gold pendant.The movie also parallels her mom's own personal health journey: When Maxine travels to Paris to make a movie about a fashion runway, she learns she had breast cancer.Jolie's mother Bertrand died from breast and ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56.Jolie also lost her grandmother and her aunt to breast cancer. Because of this genetic history, in 2013, Jolie publicly announced that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carried the BRCA1 genetic mutation. Two years later, she also had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to further reduce her cancer risks.The conversation with People happened on Monday at a dinner at the store Atelier Jolie in New York City. It was catered by the immigrant and refugee chefs of Eat Offbeat.Jolie also talked to the publication about the emotions of the 'beautiful' movie Couture.'It has something to say that I thought could be useful to people, showing how everyone is dealing with things that make us very human, and that if we can figure out how to live through challenges by leaning on each other and having more empathy towards one another, the better and less alone we will be,' she shared.'Alice is a wonderful director and approaches the stories of the women in Couture with sensitivity and hope. 'The film is not about an end for my character but rather about a renewed desire to live life until your last breath which particularly resonates with me at this time in my life,' Jolie said.'I am not sure I was strong enough even five years ago to do this. To be open and trusting to share and be vulnerable again,' she also shared.'Things happen in life that take us off path. We lose ourselves and we feel isolated. I would have given anything to have my mother alive to be there for her grandchildren,' she noted.Jolie's movie Couture 'particularly resonates' with her.'I am not sure I was strong enough even five years ago to do this. To be open and trusting to share and be vulnerable again,' she said.The ex-wife of Brad Pitt has previously admitted the cancer storyline was particularly emotional for her she told Variety earlier. 'I felt very vulnerable. I feel like it's such a personal film. It felt so private that in my mind, it's probably the one film that doesn't feel like a film.'The actress knew making the movie would 'bring up many personal things' but she found it a 'healing' experience.She told the publication: 'I have always found the heaviest films tend to have the most loving sets. There's something quite comforting about having real conversations and having real feelings with a shared community.'It was quite healing in many ways because you look at the other faces of the people on the set, because one in three people have cancer, and most everybody's been in a hospital room with somebody they've loved. Everybody on set has lost someone they've loved.'You recognize that life is fragile and time goes quickly, and people pass away that we can't imagine the world could exist without ... It's hard not to feel very close to a crew and other actors in this kind of a piece.'Jolie also learned to speak French for the movie, which won her praise from director Alice Wincour, who said: 'She really immersed herself in the part and was obsessed with the idea of speaking French, even more than me.'Her mother was French, so there were many things that were very intimate. She really dedicated herself to the movie.'Couture will come out in theaters on June 26.
