EXCLUSIVE: Angelina Jolie Death Trauma — How Struggling A-Lister Has Been Hit With Another Tragic Family Blow
She’s left 'devastated' as grief collides with her ongoing legal battle with Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie is said to be “reeling” after the death of her uncle Chip Taylor – with sources claiming the actress is “devastated.”
The fresh loss comes as her legal battle with Brad Pitt continues to weigh heavily on her.
The 50-year-old Maleficent star is mourning Taylor, who died aged 86, while continuing to navigate a protracted dispute with Pitt, 62, over their former jointly-owned French winery Château Miraval.
The legal case, which has seen both sides trade accusations over the sale of Jolie’s stake in the business, remains unresolved, with recent filings focusing on financial disclosures and control of the estate.
