Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are facing legal action from a secretary who alleges she was unfairly dismissed from her job at the couple's French mansion.
 
The unidentified woman has lodged a complaint in France claiming she was dropped from her role as a translator for the house's staff while she was on sick leave.
 
She has accused the couple of failing to prevent her dismissal, which allegedly occurred because her absence was deemed detrimental to the management of the Chateau Miraval, in the tiny village of Brignol in the south of France.
 
She is demanding $111,800 (£69,875) in compensation.
 
Her lawyer tells Reuters, "It's a drop in the ocean for these stars."
 
The case is set to go to before a labour tribunal in the town of Draguignan next month (Jun11).
