Angelina Jolie accuses Brad Pitt of stopping the sale of their winery after she was seen on dinner date with The Weeknd
ANGELINA Jolie is hoping to unload the property where they got married, but Brad Pit won't let her in their ongoing legal battle.
The Hollywood star, 46, filed papers in court on July 6 which would lift the automatic temporary restraining order (ATRO) she has against Brad.
An ATRO is a court ruling that stops either spouse from selling, transferring or borrowing against property.
Angelina wants the ATRO lifted because she's hoping to sell Château Miraval, the French property which she co-owns with Brad and features both a castle and winery.
According to documents filed by Angelina's legal team, the actress has found a buyer for the vast property, but Brad has not approved lifting the ATRO which would allow her to sell it.
“After all these years of trying to extricate herself from being business partners with her ex-husband on acceptable financial terms, Ms. Jolie is extremely desirous of closing the pending agreement for the sale of Nouvel, LLC, and requests that the Court issue an order lifting the ATROs and specifying that they shall not apply to Ms. Jolie’s sale of Nouvel, LLC,” the court documents read, according to .
Late last month, Angelina's lawyers filed an emergency application to lift the ATRO in fear the buyer would lose interest and move on.
But a judge ruled against her, deciding there was no “immediate danger/irreparable harm or immediate loss/damage to property.”
Her legal team is also trying to argue the Miraval belongs to her entirely because she owned it before they married in 2014.
Brad and Angelina began dating in 2005 before marrying at the Chateau in 2014 and eventually filing for divorce in 2019.
The mother of six had a very rocky ending with the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star, and the two have fought tooth and nail for fair custody of their kids.
Angelina and Brad - five of which are minors - including Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12.
On May 13th, Brad had a minor win in the case, when the judge granted a giving the parents shared custody of their children, except for Maddox, who is no longer a minor.
But in court documents filed in December, the children gave a clearer look at how they feel about their father, with three even wanting to testify in the proceedings.
A source told : "There was a significant change made in the custody agreements based on an extremely detailed decision made by the judge."
Despite Judge John Ouderkirk's recent ruling granting Brad and Angelina joint custody of their kids, another source told the outlet that this is only a “tentative decision,” as the actress plans to continue fighting.
While Angelina is trying to offload her French property, she was recently spotted with The Weeknd both in New York and LA.
She was , following a night dining with the 31-year-old Canadian singer.
