Brad Pitt is being countersued by Tenute del Mondo, the company Angelina Jolie is trying to sell her winery shares to -- and they're claiming he's been misappropriating funds and being deceitful. Brad had already sued the company, claiming they had no right to receive Angie's shares in Chateau Miraval.
Tenute has now filed its own claim against Brad and his company alleging they have been using Chateau Miraval as a personal piggy bank for years. Tenute claims Brad has been siphoning tons of cash from the winery business to fund his own ventures and passion projects including using more than $1 million to renovate a pool that only he uses, as well as paying for a recording studio, a cosmetics line and a gin brand he's investing in. Tenute says Brad and his company have been hiding much of this activity in the books and even now, Brad won't fork over the full finances and has shut them out of the business operations in general.
Tenute is asking for major damages. Brad's side ran to TMZ to say Tenute is only getting involved with Miraval because of Brad's name-recognition and hands-on involvement. According to Brad's side, Chateau Miraval is only as successful as it is because of how Brad has run it and the notion that he plundered it for his own personal gain is absurd and nonsensical.
