Brad Pitt has accused his ex-wife Angelina Jolie of seeking to "inflict harm" on him by selling her 50% stake in their French vineyard to a Russian oligarch with "poisonous associations and intentions".

The allegations, made in new court filings as part of Pitt's lawsuit against Jolie over the sale of Chateau Miraval, are the latest barb in a bitter legal battle between the former Hollywood power couple who filed for divorce in 2016.
