Brad Pitt won his ongoing lawsuit against him Angelina Jolie over the ongoing wine drama of the exes.
According to court documents obtained by Us WeeklyThe California Court of Appeals sided with Pitt, 62, on Wednesday June 24, overturning a lower court’s decision in favor of the Russian businessman. Yuri Shefler to walk in guilt.
In the dock, Pitt said that after Jolie, 51, sold her shares in the winery to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group, in 2021, she became an “unwilling partner” of Shefler.
Shefler previously argued in his motion to dismiss that he had “little involvement in negotiations for Tenute to buy Miraval.” The lower court sided with Shefler, saying that Pitt “failed to present evidence that Shefler knowingly obtained for himself the benefits of doing business in California.”
However, the Court of Appeal found that the agreement to purchase Jolie’s shares was “governed by California law.” The California court ruled that Shelfer’s appeal was dismissed and that Pitt, along with his investment company, Mondo Bongo, were also allowed to recover costs in their appeal.
“It was the Shefflers and California contacts in the purchase of a California company from a California resident that caused injury to another California resident and the California company that is the subject of the lawsuit,” the ruling reads. “On these facts, Shefler knowingly obtained for himself the benefits of the California forum, and the controversy arose out of his association with the forum. We reverse.”
