Angelina Jolie’s recent comments shed light on the ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The judge’s decision to deny Jolie’s attempt to dismiss Pitt’s lawsuit regarding the sale of her share of a $67 million vineyard has reignited tensions between the former couple.

The dispute, which dates back to 2021, revolves around Jolie’s sale of her stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler without Pitt’s consent. Pitt, 61, is now seeking to reverse the deal, leading to a court date set for 2025.

According to a close source, Jolie perceives the lawsuit as a financial burden. She expressed her frustration, stating, “He’s trying to drain me. The time, the energy, the money – it’s all meant to wear me down.”

The mounting legal fees are reportedly affecting Jolie’s ability to provide for the security and lifestyle of their six children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, who are turning 17 soon.

Despite the custody agreement requiring Jolie to live near Pitt in Los Angeles, sources suggest that the children have been growing more distant from their father over time. The ongoing court battle could potentially deepen this divide.
