Angelina Jolie has been fighting her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, in court for nearly a decade now, and she “is still having nightmares on a near daily basis” about the battle, a source tells the National Enquirer.
“The longer this case goes on the more anxiety and trauma it causes Angelina, especially as she’s got so much to lose,” the source says of the A-lister, who is locked in a legal dispute with the F1 star, 61, over their French winery, Chateau Miraval.
The Maleficent actress, 50, revealed in a court filing on Thursday, October 6, that she and her six children “have never again set foot” on the property in the south of France “given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce” in 2016, per People.

“She’s totally committed to fighting this case with everything she’s got, there’s no other choice, but it’s costing a fortune and draining her mentally,” the source tells the Enquirer, noting that the Oscar winner also sought $33,000 in legal fees from her ex in the filing, per USA Today.
“The very real prospect of total financial ruin keeps her up night after night,” continues the source. “People have this perception of Angelina as this cold-hearted ice queen but she’s showing a real vulnerability right now as this case comes to a head.”
