Brad Pitt claims that he wascrossed by his wife, who sold their interest in the winery to a Russian billionaire.

Brad and his wife are in a never-ending divorce war. Brad says he invested a lot of money and time in the winery over the years, but he acknowledges that his wife paid 40% of the purchase price.

Brad says he alone made the winery successful because she wasn't doing much in that department. They always had an understanding that neither of them could sell off their interest without the other agreeing.

Fast forward to 2016... The divorce became very contentious after it was filed.

In July of last year, she went to court and told the judge that she had reached an agreement to sell her interest. Pitt said in September that he would allow the sale, but would give a thumbs up or thumbs down to the buyer.

Brad was shocked to learn that a company called Tenute del Mondo was controlled by a Russian billionaire.

He says that he was kept in the dark about the terms of the deal.

Brad says Shefler has made it difficult for him to run the winery.

A source tells us that this is another example of the same person ignoring her legal and ethical obligations. She violated the rights of the only person who poured money and sweat equity into the success of the business by pretending to sell the business and family home to a third-party competitor.

She is looking for a return on an investment she did not make and did not earn.

Brad wants the judge to overturn the deal. He also wants money.
