▍原文
Brad Pitt has sued his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for selling her stake in a French winery they had bought together – and where they got married – to a Russian businessman.
In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, Pitt said Jolie had broken their agreement not to sell their interests in Château Miraval without the other’s consent.
Pitt, 58, said he had “poured money and sweat equity” into making Miraval among the world’s most highly regarded makers of rosé wine.
