“A place that held the promise of what could be and where I thought I would grow old. Even now impossible to write this without crying.

“I had hoped somehow it could become something that held us together and we found light and peace. I see now how you have really wanted me out and will most likely be pleased to receive this email.”

Angelina wrote that there had been “lots of inconsiderate behavior, money spent in ways that I would not have approved, and decisions made that I was not consulted on” regarding the winery.

 

She continued, stating that she didn’t feel that she “can be involved, publicly or privately, in a business based on alcohol, when alcoholic behavior harmed our family so deeply,” writing that the “business is therefore past the point of anything that I could be part of, morally and for the good of our family.”

“I cannot begin to express how upsetting it is for me to have to reach this point,” she wrote.

“Your dream for your relationship to the business and the alcohol is your own and you’ve made it painfully clear. I wish you all the best with the business, and sincerely hope that the children feel differently about Miraval when they are older, and visit you there. But Miraval for me died September 2016, and everything I have seen in the years since has sadly confirmed that,” she finished.
