00:00 Brad Pitt�s strategy is to blame the victims in his legal fight with Angelina Jolie�s
00:05 former company,� lawsuit says.
00:07 In the world of celebrity legal battles, the lawsuit over Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt�s
00:13 winery may take the cake.
00:15 After Pitt initiated the legal battle in February, the current state of play is Neuville, Jolie�s
00:21 former investment company, counter-suing Pitt over a vineyard the two used to share.
00:26 In the complaint, Neuville said Pitt is trying to cover up his illegal and reprehensible
00:31 conduct by taking the offensive, calling it a classic �blame the victims� strategy.
00:37 The company accuses Pitt and his representatives of causing the dispute, although he says the
00:42 opposite.
00:43 The countersuit was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles and comes months after the legal fight over
00:48 the vineyard began.
00:50 In February, Pitt sued both Jolie and Neuville, claiming that Jolie unlawfully sold her stake
00:55 in the winery without Pitt�s consent.
00:58 Neuville disagrees, and wants Pitt to pay $250 million in compensatory damages.
01:05 Ever since his former wife, Angelina Jolie, filed for divorce from him in 2016, Brad Pitt
01:12 has been waging a vindictive war against her and Neuville, the complaint said.
01:17 The two actors acquired the vineyard, Chateau Merville, a rose specialist, in 2008.
01:23 It�s a country estate located in the south of France.
01:27 They did so through their investment holding companies, hers being Neuville, and his Mondo
01:32 Bongo.
01:34 At one point, Neuville claims in the suit, Jolie offered to sell the company to Pitt,
01:39 but failed to reach a deal because of his unreasonable terms.
01:43 She eventually sold Neuville to Tenu Del Mondo, a subsidiary of Stolle Group, an international
01:49 beverage company.
01:51 Pitt has frozen Neuville out of Chateau Merville and treats it as his personal fiefdom, the
01:56 suit said, accusing the actor of being a �fake deal�.

03:59 Investment holding companies, hers being Nuville, and his Mondo Bongo.
04:04 At one point, Nuville claims in the suit, Jolie offered to sell the company to Pitt, but failed to reach a deal because of his unreasonable terms.
04:13 She eventually sold Nuville to Tenu Del Mondo, a subsidiary of Stolle Group, an international beverage company.
04:21 "Pitt has frozen Nuville out of Chateaum Ravel and treats it as his personal fiefdom," the suit said, accusing the actor of malicious actions that devalued Nuville's investment.
04:32 Additionally, the company said Pitt wasted its assets, spending millions of dollars on vanity projects such as renovations to a swimming pool and the restoration of a recording studio.
04:43 It also alleged that Pitt tried to turn over 50 percent of ownership of the vineyard's most valuable assets to a friend, at no cost.
04:52 The suit claims Pitt's behavior caused serious harm to Nuville.
04:56 The law firms representing the two parties did not respond to Fortune's requests for comment.
