Angelina Jolie Opposes Brad Pitt’s Bid for Private Messages, Seeks $33K in Fees

The dispute stems from her 2021 sale of her Château Miraval stake alleged to have breached a consent agreement.

Overview

  • Jolie’s Oct. 6 filing in Los Angeles Superior Court contests Pitt’s motion to compel 126 emails and messages, citing attorney–client privilege.
  • She asks the court to order Pitt to reimburse roughly $33,000 in legal fees incurred opposing the discovery request after asking him to withdraw it.
  • Jolie states she left Pitt in control of the family homes in Los Angeles and at Miraval without compensation and did not seek alimony.
  • She says she and the children have not returned to Château Miraval since the events that led to the divorce because of the property’s painful associations.
  • Pitt’s 2022 lawsuit challenges Jolie’s 2021 sale of her Miraval stake to Stoli’s Tenute del Mondo, and the judge has not ruled on the current discovery dispute.
