The California Supreme Court has refused to consider Pitt’s appeal of a court ruling that disqualified the judge in his custody battle with Jolie. The court on Wednesday, Oct.
The former Hollywood super couple are currently embroiled in a legal dispute over the fate of Chateau Miraval and its lucrative business of producing award-winning Miraval Rosé. Jolie wants to sell her share of the business, saying in a 2021 letter to Pitt that she has fond memories of the estate but that she no longer wants to be tied to “a business that is centered around alcohol” and a place associated with the beginning of the end of their family, Vanity Fair writer Mark Seal reported.
If the setting sounds idyllic, that was all by the couple’s design for the life they were trying to create for themselves and their children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, who at the time ranged in ages from 15 to 8. Extensive renovations began immediately to make the property, with its 35-room manor house, “more Californian as opposed to Provençal,” Vanity Fair said. The report also details how Pitt ordered “a wildly expensive” lacquered desk for Jolie to be installed in her office in their new home.
The Vanity Fair report said tensions between Pitt and Jolie “had been boiling for about a year” before the plane ride. Bradbury and other associates said they had never seen Pitt intoxicated, but it became clear he had been drinking quite a bit before and during their flight back to the United States..
During the confrontation, Pitt also allegedly choked one of the children and struck another in the face, the Vanity Fair reported. During the remainder of the flight, Pitt continued to rant, and at one point allegedly poured beer on Jolie and the children as they tried to sleep under blankets.
