After eight years of legal battles, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reached a divorce settlement, marking a significant development in their long-running dispute. US media reported the resolution of their case, with Jolie’s attorney confirming the news.
For eight years the legal battle was one of the high-profile divorce settlements which captured everyone’s attention.
Confirmation from Jolie’s Legal Team
Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, shared the details with People Magazine, emphasizing Jolie’s focus on family well-being. “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago,” Simon said. “Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.” The terms of the settlement remain confidential.
Key Events Leading to the Settlement
Divorce Filing and Initial Allegations
Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, days after a private flight during which she accused Pitt of physical abuse toward their children. The allegations set the stage for years of courtroom disputes.
Custody Battles
The couple’s six children—three biological and three adopted—were at the center of prolonged custody negotiations. Although a custody arrangement was reached in 2018, disagreements resurfaced, prolonging the legal wrangling.
Dispute Over Chateau Miraval
Beyond custody, ownership of their French estate and vineyard, Chateau Miraval, became a contentious issue. Pitt accused Jolie of violating his rights by selling her share to Stoli Group, a company owned by Yuri Shefler, a Russian-born billionaire. Pitt’s legal filings alleged the sale was intended to harm him, citing perceived links between Shefler and Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, Shefler’s representatives denied such associations, highlighting his opposition to Putin’s regime.
A Turning Point in a Public Dispute
The settlement represents a major step in closing a chapter marked by personal and legal challenges for the former Hollywood power couple. While the broader implications of their legal battles, particularly regarding property disputes, may continue, this agreement signifies progress in their journey toward resolution.
