The reason for Angelina Jolie's silence on Brad Pitt's complaint was revealed Brad Pitt | Angelina Jolie Angelina is in Cambodia apparently for the UNESCO-Guerlain Women for Bees campaign that she launched last year. Brad Pitt sued Angelina Jolie. Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of selling her shares without Brad Pitt permission. Angelina has not yet responded to Brad Pitt's complaint, which was strange to their fans. It seems that Angelina is in Cambodia and Brad Pitt knows that she is not able to answer now. The big incomplete Brange headline last week was about how Brad Pitt was suing Angelina over selling her Chateau Miraval shares. Most major outlets missed the fact that Brad was sued first by his new co-owners for mismanagement of the estate. And also there’s what her lawyer said about the situation – via Entertainment Tonight: “In a statement to ET, Jolie's attorney, Robert Olson, says his client "has not yet been served, and we are instead learning about the complaint from the media who appear to have been given access to the report to create a press story prior to Ms. Jolie even being served." Olson added, "I understand that Mr. Pitt is aware that Ms. Jolie is on a long-haul commercial international flight with their children, out of reach, and unable to respond." Somehow TMZ was able to learn about the lawsuit before Brad’s legal team was able to serve Angelina? Of course it’s media manipulation …which…sure…most celebrities do this to a certain extent, but remember, through all of this divorce mess, it was often Brad’s team accusing Angelina of playing the media. Let’s stop pretending that Brad doesn’t game the system himself. If what her lawyer is saying is true, that he tipped off TMZ before she and her lawyer could even process it, well, you can see what his motivation is here, especially since he’s being accused by his new co-owners of not taking care of business. As of the time of this writing, Angelina has yet to respond to Brad’s allegation. Her lawyer mentioned she was travelling and it turns out she’s in Cambodia. You can see more photos of her in this Twitter thread. At least one of her children, Shiloh, is with her on the trip. Shiloh is repping the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation – note her top. And also note there are a few shots of Angelina with Loung Ung, her close friend and the author of First They Killed My Father. Angelina is in Cambodia apparently for the UNESCO-Guerlain Women for Bees campaign that she launched last year. Brad’s lawsuit, then, will have to wait until she gets back, although it’ll be interesting to see if it goes anywhere. Whatever he claims this “mutual understanding” is, it doesn’t sound like he has anything in writing. And besides, given the sequence of events, with her filing for the right to sell last summer and subsequently getting approval and going through the paperwork of actually unloading her shares – I wonder if he actually has a case and if not, was that what this PR offensive was all about? Because, again, considering the sequence of events, that’s how it’s lining up. She wanted to sell. He was cockblocking it. She eventually sells to a company that’s asking questions about how he’s managing the business and filed a complaint about it. And now he’s suing her for selling to them? Like no matter who you stan here, there has to be more to the story than what’s being reported, non? BRAD PITT SUES ANGELINA JOLIE Brad Pitt says Angelina Jolie double-crossed him by secretly selling her interest in a winery they jointly owned ... sold it to a Russian oligarch, and he's now suing her to undo the deal. Brad's legal docs, obtained by TMZ, are part of their never-ending divorce war. The 2 bought Chateau Miraval in Correns, France back in 2008. Brad says he invested a ton of money and time in the winery over the years, although he acknowledges Angelina plunked down 40% of the $28.4 million purchase price. Brad says he alone made the winery successful because by 2013 she wasn't doing much in that department. He claims they always had an understanding ... neither of them could sell off their interest without the other's consent. Fast forward to 2016 ... Angelina filed for divorce and it became super contentious. Last July Angelina went to court and told the judge she had reached an agreement to sell her interest to an unnamed person. Pitt says in September he agreed to allow Angelina to pursue the sale but made it clear ... he was not consenting to the sale, but rather would give thumbs up or down to the proposed buyer. Brad says in October he was shocked to learn a company called Tenute del Mondo -- a subsidiary of Stoli Group (the vodka co.) -- controlled by Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler, bought her interest in the winey. He says Angelina never sought his consent and intentionally kept the terms of the deal from him. Brad says Shefler has wreaked havoc on his ability to run the winery. A source close to BP tells us, "Unfortunately, this is another example of the same person disregarding her legal and ethical obligations. In doing so, she has violated the rights of the only person who poured money and sweat equity into the success of the business by purporting to sell both the business and family home to a third-party competitor." They continue, "She is seeking a return on an investment she did not make and profits she did not earn.” Brad now wants the judge to undo the deal. He also wants damages. We reached out to a rep for Angelina ... so far, no word back. The reason for Angelina Jolie's silence on Brad Pitt's complaint was revealed | Brad Pitt Source Lainey Gossip TMZ
