Overview

• Pitt filed a motion on June 30 in California Superior Court to compel Stoli Group executive Alexey Oliynik to produce private communications with Jolie and to sit for a deposition.
• His legal team asserts that messages between Oliynik and Jolie’s team are crucial to support his claim that Jolie acted with malice in her 2021 sale of her Miraval shares.
• Oliynik has rejected the subpoena on the grounds of his Swiss residency, arguing that he cannot be forced to travel for a California deposition.
• In their countersuit Jolie’s attorneys accuse Pitt of pursuing a vindictive campaign and of seeking non-disclosure agreements to silence alleged abuse claims.
• The judge has not yet ruled on Pitt’s discovery request and a trial date for the co-ownership dispute remains unannounced.
