Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are preparing to face each other in court, so we won’t hold our breath over them starring opposite each other in a romantic drama.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-name” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Black Han Sans|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”|||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Rossner reportedly thinks they can \u2018put their differences aside\u2019 for the sake of his 20-year passion project.<\/p>\n Well, there\u2019s putting your differences aside for a family lunch, and then there\u2019s putting aside your eight-year divorce battle for a movie role… Not quite the same, is it?<\/p>\n A source claims there is \u2018no way\u2019 Pitt would \u2018lower himself\u2019 to accept the offer. \u2018All the money in the world wouldn\u2019t get Brad to appear in a movie with Angelina ever again,\u2019 the insider told the Daily Mail. \u2018It would definitely spark interest, but it\u2019s not anything he would ever consider for a moment.<\/p>\n \u2018They are currently bitter enemies so there is no way Brad would lower himself to be paid any amount of money to talk to Angie onscreen.\u2019<\/p>\n Even if it was a legitimate offer, it\u2019s safe to assume neither party would want to be involved. For starters, Pitt has an estimated net worth of $400 million and Jolie is reportedly worth $120 million, so neither of them particularly need the cash.<\/p>\n More importantly, they are currently preparing to face each other in court. In November, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled in favour of their dispute about the rightful ownership of their French winery, Chateau Miraval, which is holding up their divorce, heading to trial.<\/p>\n When the couple bought Chateau Miraval in 2008 as a place to raise their children, make their own ros\u00e9 and drink the fruits of their labour, Pitt owned 60% and Jolie owned 40%. After their wedding in 2014, Pitt gave Jolie 10% as a gift so that they had equal shares. After their separation, Jolie sold her shares to Russian vodka magnate Yuri Shefler. It is the validity of this sale that is at the crux of the trial.<\/p>\n The judge upheld that there was \u2018an implied contract regarding shares in the company\u2019 and Pitt\u2019s outstanding claims were valid on two counts of interference. However, it is not plain sailing by any means.<\/p>\n In an apparent win for Jolie, the judge also ruled that Pitt must disclose documents that Jolie\u2019s lawyer claims will prove \u2018communications concerning abuse, lies to authorities, and years of cover up\u2019 on Pitt\u2019s part.<\/p>\n While Pitt\u2019s team called the request \u2018wide ranging and intrusive\u2019 as well as a \u2018sensationalist fishing expedition\u2019, Jolie\u2019s team have called the documents \u2018crucial evidence\u2019 that Pitt has \u2018fought for years to hide\u2019.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”] All of which is to say that the former power couple is not on the best of terms. Jolie\u2019s lawyer, Paul Murphy, has also said that Pitt\u2019s decision to take the Miraval case to trial comes at the detriment of his family.<\/p>\n \u2018His actions harmed Angelina and their children and are central to this case,\u2019 Murphy\u2019s statement reads, \u2018but I want to again emphasise that Angelina never wanted any of this. She never pressed charges, she left all their properties, and she is the one who tried to sell him the business in the first place.<\/p>\n \u2018To this day, Mr. Pitt has never been held accountable for his actions and has at all times controlled Miraval and the winery, yet he still demands more. She wants this to end, the children want this to end, and Mr. Pitt should focus on healing their family, not pursuing lawsuits.\u2019<\/p>\n It is a family, for that matter, that has grown estranged from Pitt over the course of the past eight years. Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016 after \u2018an altercation\u2019 took place on a family plane journey from France to LA. Pitt was cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation and denies all allegations of abuse. Nonetheless, the former couple\u2019s six children have taken a stance in support of their mother.<\/p>\n Their three daughters, Zahara, Vivienne and Shiloh, have all dropped \u2018Pitt\u2019 from their surnames and their three sons, Pax, Knox and Maddox, have been by Jolie\u2019s side on the press run of her latest film,\u00a0Maria. Pax and Maddox even worked on the film in the assistant director department.<\/p>\n While they rarely, if ever, comment publicly on their parents\u2019 situation, in 2020 Pax offered a rare insight into his relationship with his father on social media. Sharing a picture of Pitt accepting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on Father\u2019s Day, Pax called him a \u2018world class asshole\u2019 and a \u2018fucking awful human being\u2019.<\/p>\n He rounded off the post by writing, \u2018You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday.\u2019<\/p>\n Far from gearing up to collaborate on another romantic blockbuster together, it\u2019s possible that the Jolie-Pitt family has faced damage beyond repair in the past eight years. The upcoming trial, which is expected to start in the spring, is likely to involve a lot of pain on both sides. There might be wine on the line, but there is a lot more to lose.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”fp-in-article-bold” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Black Han Sans|||on|||||” text_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”] Subhead<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”] Photo: <\/b>Getty<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The actor reportedly has a damning response to rumours about him rekindling with his ex-wife on screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5738,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5737"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5746,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5737\/revisions\/5746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘It would definitely spark interest, but it\u2019s not anything he would ever consider for a moment’<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]
