In the latest chapter of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie saga, the gloves are off! Three years deep into their heated legal tussle over the French winery, Château Miraval, Brad Pitt is turning up the heat. The actor's legal team has filed a massive 286-page compendium with the Los Angeles Superior Court, demanding access to Jolie's private communications. Pitt is on a mission to uncover emails that could shed light on Jolie's legal strategies when she sold her shares of the winery in 2021.
This legal showdown took a dramatic twist when Pitt's lawyers claimed that Jolie's team is holding back crucial communications. These emails allegedly involve discussions with "non-attorney" individuals. Jolie's lawyer, Paul Murphy, fiercely defended her in a statement, saying, "Mr. Pitt's reply brief does not address our arguments and continues to rely on conjecture and speculation – all for the purpose of invading her privileged communications with her lawyers."
Amid the legal back-and-forth, some of Jolie's emails have surfaced, revealing a more personal side. In a May 2021 message, Jolie expressed stress over both business and personal matters, hinting at her brother, James Haven Voight. She lamented, "Financial situations like Jamie where I just give and give and don’t even get a thank you... is just wrong." This glimpse into her personal struggles adds another layer to the ongoing drama.
As the legal battle rages on, all eyes are on the upcoming hearing scheduled for December 17. The trial concerning Pitt's allegations of Jolie's breach of contract is slated for February 2027. With both sides digging in their heels, this high-profile case promises more revelations and drama before it concludes.
