Angelina Jolie is enjoying newfound success in Hollywood as her biopic about opera legend Maria Callas gains early Oscar buzz. Sources say this is driving her ex-husband Brad Pitt crazy and prompting him to intensify efforts to make her life difficult in court.
As RadarOnline.com readers are aware, the former couple continues to clash over Jolie’s sale of her half of the French winery Château Miraval, a dispute that has persisted for eight years since their split. Now, the Academy Awards race could be fueling that tension.
A source revealed, “Brad is used to being the star of awards season every year with his production company, Plan B, which always seems to win something. What he’s NOT used to is Angelina being in the spotlight as well. She’s never been a big player in Hollywood circles, but this year her film is generating serious buzz.”
The source added, “What really irritates Brad is the thought of her strutting around his territory as if she’s the queen bee!”
Insiders note that the former couple is still embroiled in conflict over the winery sale, even after all these years.
