Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie call it quits in epic legal battle

<p>Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly chosen to settle their acrimonious legal dispute over their jointly owned French winery, Château Miraval, through mediation rather than pursuing further court battles.</p> <p>According to recent court filings obtained from TMZ, Jolie, 48, and Pitt, 59, have mutually agreed to attempt mediation as a means to resolve their disagreements concerning the future of Château Miraval.</p> <p>This development comes in the wake of allegations from Jolie's former investment company, Nouvel, accusing Pitt and other "co-conspirators" of trying to maintain control over Château Miraval by allegedly misusing and depleting its assets.</p> <p>The court documents claimed that Pitt had mismanaged the company's funds by directing substantial amounts towards personal endeavours, such as extravagant swimming pool renovations, repeated reconstruction of a staircase, and investing millions in restoring a recording studio.</p> <p>The legal dispute initially arose when Pitt filed a lawsuit against his former wife, claiming that she had sold her share of the winery to a Russian oligarch in 2021.</p> <p>According to a court filing, Pitt appeared upset over Jolie's decision to sell Nouvel to Stoli instead of him, and he allegedly failed to treat Nouvel as an equal partner in their business dealings.</p> <p>Furthermore, there were allegations that Pitt attempted to leverage the winery business to silence Jolie regarding the circumstances surrounding their divorce, which included allegations of abuse and disputes over child custody.</p> <p>Jolie had previously accused Pitt of physical abuse towards her and two of their children during a flight in 2016, leading to their separation later that same year.</p> <p>According to documents reported by the <em>New York Times</em> in 2022, Jolie's team claimed that Pitt engaged in a prolonged outburst during a flight from France to California in September 2016. The allegations included claims that Pitt had choked one of the children and struck another in the face, and had grabbed Jolie by the head and shaken her.</p> <p>In response to these accusations, Pitt's lawyer asserted that Pitt took responsibility for his actions but would not accept false claims against him. The actor has faced numerous personal attacks and misrepresentations throughout the legal proceedings.</p> <p>The former celebrity couple purchased Château Miraval, a picturesque country estate and winery located in the south of France, in 2008. Since then, it has become a focal point of their high-profile divorce.</p> <p>As they embark on the mediation process, both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hope to find common ground and reach an amicable resolution to put an end to their protracted legal battle over Château Miraval.</p> <p><em>Images: CNN / Getty </em></p>

"One more shot": Turia Pitt undergoes life-changing surgery

<p dir="ltr">After 12 years of hoping, Turia Pitt has finally undergone a “life-changing” nose surgery to help her breathe better.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pitt, 35, a survivor of the devastating grassfire that broke out in Kimberley during a 2011 ultramarathon, has revealed that she still has trouble breathing because of the shape of her nose.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s frustrating because I spend most of my days teaching women how to run, and talking about running, and both of those things - talking and running - require breath,” she shared in a video posted on Instagram.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pitt shared that she’s been wanting to get surgery to fix the issue for 12 years, but has struggled with finding the right surgeon until late last year.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m a persistent person, but this cycle of building hope, and having it smashed down over and over again, has been hard,” she added.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s been demoralising. But late last year, I heard back from one more surgeon, a bloke in Baltimore in the USA, so I decided to give it one more shot.”</p> <p dir="ltr">In another video she revealed that she also wanted the surgery to look like her best self when she marries her long-term partner and fiancé, Michael Hoskin.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I want surgery for my nose so that I can breathe better, but I also want it to look better too,” she captioned the video.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I want to have a nice big smile, a nice even nose, long glossy wavy hair, my big eyes, my shoulders will be tanned, and I’ll wear a flower crown and black pearls,” she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">She added that even though she wanted to “look really good” for her fiancé, her partner “doesn’t give a s***” how she looks because he loves her regardless.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He loves me now like he loved me before my accident. So it’s not for Michael; this surgery is for me.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Post-surgery, Pitt shared a follow up video of herself in the US with her heavily bandaged nose. She’s been updating her followers on the progress consistently, and on day five showed what her nose looked like with the bandages off.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I can breathe through my nostrils, and I also think that’s helped my voice quality,” she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">In her latest podcast, <em>Yes Darling, You Look Beautiful</em>, she shared further details about how she felt about the surgery and her fiancé’s reaction.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I really like it, I’m happy, I start crying, and when I get back to my hotel room I look at myself in the mirror and I feel more symmetrical,” she said, sharing that her nose is much straighter after initially not being able to see the difference.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pitt also revealed her fiancé’s sweet reaction and how he was “blown away”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Yes darling, you look very beautiful, it was a wonderful operation”.</p> <p dir="ltr">She said that even though she doesn’t look any different “for the average person on the street”, her fiancé understands that she can be self-conscious about how she looks and supports her decision.</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

Angelina Jolie's bombshell allegations against Brad Pitt

<p dir="ltr">Angelina Jolie has claimed that her ex Brad Pitt was physically abusive towards her and two of their six children on a flight in 2016.</p> <p dir="ltr">The Hollywood actress’s legal team claimed that Pitt grabbed Jolie’s head and shook her then choked one of their children and struck another when they tried to defend her.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pitt’s representation vehemently denied the allegations saying the allegations are "another rehash that only harms the family”.</p> <p dir="ltr">The couple have been locked in a legal fight over their French home and winery in which the description of the abuse came to light.</p> <p dir="ltr">News of the alleged abuse first came to light soon after it happened, however the details were kept private in divorce documents.</p> <p dir="ltr">Further investigations by the FBI and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services found that no action against Pitt was necessary.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pitt was then granted 50-50 custody of the children but the decision was soon appealed by Jolie and eventually became nullified.</p> <p dir="ltr">Reports of the abuse were first reported by The New York Times which read that on September 14, 2016, Jolie, Pitt and their six children were travelling from the winery, Chateau Miraval, to Los Angeles.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Pitt's aggressive behavior started even before the family got to the airport, with Pitt having a confrontation with one of the children. After the flight took off, Jolie approached Pitt and asked him what was wrong," the filing says.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Pitt accused her of being too deferential to the children and verbally attacked her."</p> <p dir="ltr">"He pulled her into the bathroom and began yelling at her. Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall."</p> <p dir="ltr">It is then when one of their children verbally defended Jolie, which caused Pitt to lash out.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Pitt lunged at his own child and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him. To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane's seats injuring Jolie's back and elbow," the filing says.</p> <p dir="ltr">"The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face."</p> <p dir="ltr">Pitt then proceeded to pour beer on Jolie, and beer and red wine on the kids.</p> <p dir="ltr">Jolie reported the incident to police, which also showed a photo of a bruise on Jolie's elbow and a "rug-burn type injury" on her hand.</p> <p dir="ltr">Despite all this, it was agreed that Pitt would not be charged.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: Getty</em></p>

Inside Brad Pitt's cliffside bachelor pad

<p>Brad Pitt has forked out a hefty $40 million for the historic D. L. James house, known as “Seaward”.</p> <p>The beautiful home is his latest purchase and overlooks California’s stunning central coast.</p> <p>Rich in history, the famed property was built in 1918 and is believed to be the most expensive property ever sold in the area of Carmel.</p> <p>Locals are reportedly thrilled to have another big-name celebrity joining them, especially after the iconic property has sat empty for years.</p> <p>Pitt is reportedly a big fan of Craftsman-style homes, which could be why he has purchased his latest bachelor pad. It is rumoured he could be joined by his brood of six children with ex-Angelina Jolie.</p> <p>Known as the D.L. James House, the property was designed by 20th century architect Charles Sumner Greene. It was designed on a piece of land owned by infamous author Daniel Lewis James.</p> <p>Previously, it was owned by Searock since 1999, a limited liability company tied to the late Chicago financier Joe Ritchie and his wife, Sharon Ritchie.</p> <p>The luxury property, which is just metres from the beach, boasts a ‘wooden aesthetic’ and is built from locally quarried sandstone and granite. It has arched windows, with bricks individually chosen by Charles Greene, and a tiled Mediterranean-style roof.</p> <p>According to the organisation’s website, as part of the design Mr. Greene “built up the outer walls so that they appear to be growing out of the cliffs.”</p> <p>The actor already has a $5million beach house in Goleta, California, which he purchased in 2000 when he married Jennifer Aniston.</p> <p>Carmel-by-the-Sea first became popular with the Hollywood elite when Clint Eastwood became the town’s mayor, in 1986, with the iconic actor still residing in the area.</p> <p><em>Images: Vertikoff Archive</em></p>

<p>Brad Pitt has opened up about his high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie in a candid new interview. </p> <p>The Oscar-winning actor told <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/brad-pitt-august-cover-profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GQ magazine</a> that he felt deep turmoil over the split, but believes deep sadness is a vital part of growth. </p> <p>“I think all our hearts are broken,” Pitt said. </p> <p>“I always felt very alone in my life, alone growing up as a kid, alone even out here, and it’s really not ’til recently that I have had a greater embrace of my friends and family.”</p> <p>Pitt and Jolie, 47, ended their 12-year relationship in 2016, prompting a years-long divorce battle which is yet to be finalised, although they were declared legally single in 2019.</p> <p>The 58-year-old also said he found joy "later in life" after years of "low-grade depression".</p> <p>“I was always moving with the currents, drifting in a way, and onto the next,” he told the publication. </p> <p>“I think I spent years with a low-grade depression, and it’s not until coming to terms with that, trying to embrace all sides of self – the beauty and the ugly – that I’ve been able to catch those moments of joy.”</p> <p>Pitt also revealed that his acting days are numbered, after a decades long career that saw him star in iconic films including <em>Ocean’s Eleven</em>, <em>Fight Club</em>, <em>Inglourious Basterds</em>, and more recently, <em>Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.</em></p> <p>“I consider myself on my last leg,” he said. “This last semester or trimester. What is this section gonna be? And how do I wanna design that?"</p> <div id="ad-block-4x4-1" data-type="unruly" data-ad-size="4x4" data-device-type="web" data-ad-tar="pos=1" data-ad-pos="1" data-google-query-id="CLnHvr6gwvgCFRh6jwodcoMJRQ"> <p>“I’m one of those creatures that speaks through art.

I never associated or worked with him again.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though her first husband stood by her, her most recent partner, Brad Pitt, was initially less supportive.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pitt starred in Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inglourious Basterds</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which was distributed and co-financed by the Weinstein Company.</span></p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height:364.2578125px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844005/gettyimages-89735716.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/62a14e4af83e4f809a3a1e0a97149d57" /></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image: Getty Images</span></em></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jolie also alleged in the interview that Pitt approached Weinstein to produce his 2012 film </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Killing Them Softly</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> against her wishes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Weinstein Company eventually distributed the film, which resulted in Jolie avoiding attending promotional events for it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We fought about it. Of course it hurt,” Jolie said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was hard for me when Brad [worked with him].”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pitt later made headlines for a 2019 interview with </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">CNN</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, where he disavowed Weinstein.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fight Club</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> star also said he had confronted Weinstein in 1995, after his then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow said the producer had sexually harassed her.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pitt is currently producing </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">She Said</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a film on the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Times’</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> investigation of Weinstein.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jolie and Pitt finalised their divorce in 2019, though a battle over custody of their six children continues.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weinstein has responded to the allegations in a statement provided to </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">TMZ</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, saying the claims were “brazenly untrue and clickbait publicity”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re Angelina Jolie, every female and male in the world, I’m sure, shows interest in you. Is the whole world assaulting you?” the statement read.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s very clear to me that this is for more sales on Angie’s BOOK,” he added.</span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image: Getty Images</span></em></p>

Angelina Jolie selling iconic French Chateau for $61 million

<p><span>Angelina Jolie is selling her estate in Provence, France, after several legal issues.</span></p> <p><span>The actress filed for divorce from fellow actor Brad Pitt over five years ago, yet the couple remain linked due to the glorious French Chateau that was once a blessing, but now a plague for them.</span></p> <p><span>The pair purchased the estate back in 2008, for a reported €45 million (AUD $72 million).</span></p> <p><span>The incredible property includes several residential and non-residential structures, from a rundown, adorable chapel to a high-functioning farm.</span></p> <p><span>What gave the chateau a firm reputation, other than its high-profile owners, was its glorious pink wine which won them Wine Spectator’s award for best rosé in the world, back in 2013.</span></p> <p><span>Jolie claims since the couple split back in 2016, Pitt has prevented her from selling the estate.</span></p> <p><span>In June, the mother-of-four even went so far as to file a petition to ask the judge to lift the order that prevents a transfer of assets so she could finally be rid of the property.</span></p> <p><span>Considering the couple purchased the estate prior to their nuptials in 2014, Jolie’s lawyers say the glorious French chateau should solely be considered hers.</span></p> <p><span>“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 actress’ legal team stated in a document that was obtained by <em>Us Weekly.</em></span></p> <p><span>The rumour mill has claimed the actress has plans to sell it to a willing buyer for an estimate of USD $61 million.</span></p>

Angelina Jolie’s secret Sydney home hits the market for $11 million

<p>A stunning Sydney home used by Angelina Jolie while she filmed <em>Unbroken</em> has hit the market.</p> <p>The Hollywood actress secretly used the home as a private wharf to secretly travel to Cockatoo Island, and now it is up for $11 million.</p> <p>The bright and airy house at 37 Duke Street, Balmain East was used by Jolie specifically for its private jetty, as she would board the boat that would then ferry her to Cockatoo Island undetected to direct her Academy Award-nominated film.</p> <p>Marcus Lloyd-Jones from Modern House said that the privacy of the home was what entranced Jolie, and now other buyers too.</p> <p>The property sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that is used by only two other residences.</p> <p>Modern House’s Marcus Lloyd-Jones said this privacy was a major drawcard for Jolie and for interested buyers too.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7842167/angelina-jolie.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/7f56a0f52284421fb86fdb62347bdfaf" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Angelina Jolie during Unbroken.

That’s what’s on offer.”</p>

Angelina Jolie claims domestic abuse against Brad Pitt with “proof”

<p><span>Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce proceedings are still underway, and now new court documents submitted by the actress have claimed there were multiple incidents of alleged domestic abuse.</span><br /><br /><span>Jolie reportedly filed court documents March 12 – ones that will allegedly unveil allegations of domestic abuse from both the Maleficent star and the couple's children: Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.</span><br /><br /><span>“This is just another case of Angelina changing the narrative when it suits her,” one source told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, March 17.</span></p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7840357/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/631d7b882e0e49739f30689890d47309" /><br /><br /><span>“Aside from the one accusation that she made in 2016 that was investigated and dismissed, there have never been any other records, police reports, or even accusations until it suited her case.”</span><br /><br /><span>The source added, “No one else knows what she might say now, but that background is important.”</span><br /><br /><span>Another insider told Us Weekly that the documents were nothing more than a rouse to "hurt" the actor.</span><br /><br /><span>“Over the past four and a half years there have been a number of claims made by Angelina that have been reviewed and not substantiated,” the insider said.</span><br /><br /><span>“The children have been used by Angelina to hurt Brad before and this is more of that behaviour.

I continue to focus on their healing. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds.”</span><br /><br /><span>Jolie also admitted in February 2021 to British Vogue that the divorce had “been pretty hard.”</span><br /><br /><span>“I’ve been focusing on healing our family.

"I feel lucky": Turia Pitt reflects on 2020

<div class="post_body_wrapper"> <div class="post_body"> <div class="body_text "> <p>Turia Pitt has had quite the year, dealing with the bushfires that ravaged her hometown in early January as well as giving birth to a baby boy.</p> <p>It was the devastation that saw her hometown and national parks ruined by bushfires that inspired her to start <em>Spend With Them</em>.</p> <p><em>Spend With Them</em> is a successful Instagram page that aims to put the spotlight onto small and local businesses whose businesses have been impacted by COVID-19 and the intense bushfire season.</p> <p>Pitt reflected on the moment the idea was born, after a visit from longtime friend Grace McBride.</p> <p>"We both cried. We were thinking, what's happening to this beautiful landscape? Our friends' houses and properties have been lost, and all the beautiful national parks.
