Brad Pitt Seeks Court Order for Angelina Jolie's Winery Emails in Ongoing Legal Dispute

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been engaged in a prolonged legal battle over their jointly owned French winery, Château Miraval, since 2022. Pitt recently filed court documents requesting a judge to compel Jolie to produce private emails exchanged with her business manager, publicists, and financial consultants, arguing these communications are critical to the case and not shielded by attorney-client privilege. Jolie has withheld most of these emails, which Pitt claims include key discussions about the sale of her stake in the winery to a third party. Additionally, Pitt has asked the court to reject Jolie's demand for him to pay $33,000 in her legal fees, contending she should not be reimbursed as she had warned him to withdraw a prior motion. Jolie's legal team contends the emails are protected and that she should not be required to disclose them, asserting she incurred substantial expenses responding to Pitt's motions. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions and strategic legal maneuvers as both parties seek to assert control over the contested assets and associated costs.
