While they may have separated in 2016, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt remain at loggerheads.
The former couple have been locked into an ongoing legal battle over the sale of a French winery they purchased when they were together.
New papers were submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month and they contained some bombshell claims.

A lot of it has detailed alleged abuse by Pitt, something the actor has categorically denied.
In recents weeks, we've seen Jolie accuse her former partner of ‘unrelenting efforts to control’.
And now, the actress has made headlines once more as she accuses Pitt of trying to 'bleed her dry'.
In newly filed court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Jolie claims: "It is extremely painful for Jolie to have to defend herself from Pitt's lawsuit – itself another example of Pitt's unrelenting efforts to control and financially drain her – especially because Pitt's false allegations as to the reasons the Miraval deal cratered can only proven by doing exactly what Jolie never wanted to do: Provide to the trier of fact the reason the Miraval deal failed, which was Pitt's demand for an NDA to cover up his history of physical and emotional abuse of Jolie and their family."

A source familiar with the situation added: "Angie says Brad is bleeding her dry – but it looks like she wants to bleed him dry.
"Far from being out to ruin his ex, it looks like Brad has bent over backwards to support Angie and help her out financially in spite of her appearing to be so vindictive."
The Daily Mail adds that Jolie’s relationship with Pitt has helped enrich her by close to a whopping $100 million.
The paper reports that this money has come through loans, child support and gifts.
And as the winery dispute continues, Jolie's lawyers have since filed new documents claiming Pitt abused Jolie.

A copy of the motion was obtained by CNN which reports the documents claim: "While Pitt's history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him."
The papers didn't reveal specifics on the alleged abuse, although they state Jolie will 'prove through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his own misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie’s interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA'.
