Things have gone extreme south for former partners Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as the two continue to debate over the ownership and sale of their winery estate. As the two looked in action at the Venice Film Festival, their discord became a highlight since the organisers had to schedule the premieres of their respective films on different days, so that the two wouldn’t have to meet.

A source close to Brad Pitt confirmed that Brad “is not rooting against” Angelina Jolie and only finds the whole situation “incredibly sad.” 

The conflict between the two has been going on for eight years now.

Meanwhile, their mutual friends and peers find it “shocking” that they still “can’t find a resolution and finalise the divorce.” Another source added that they hope that the two can “resolve the matrimonial side of things while the Miraval case plays out. Hopefully, they can both get on the same page.”

The Miraval case refers to a separate ongoing legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt regarding the Château Miraval, the French villa and winery they bought back in 2012 for $60 million. They launched the wine in 2013 and sold out the first 6,000 bottles of rosé within five hours. Brad Pitt claims that Angelina intentionally “sought to inflict harm” when she decided to sell her half of the winery to Stoli Group after their split.
