Overview
- On Oct. 27, Pitt asked Los Angeles County Superior Court to order production of 22 withheld documents and to deny Jolie’s $33,000 fee request.
- Pitt seeks emails between Jolie and business manager Terry Bird, publicists Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, plus two financial consultants, arguing non‑attorney communications are not privileged.
- Jolie maintains the messages reflect legal matters protected by privilege and has asked the court to make Pitt cover $33,000 in attorneys’ fees for opposing his request.
- Pitt’s filing accuses Jolie of using privilege to “bury” key evidence and says she has produced only one internal email that mentions terms of the sale.
- The discovery fight stems from Jolie’s 2021 sale of her Miraval stake to Stoli’s Tenute del Mondo, which Pitt challenged in a 2022 suit; the court has not yet ruled on the new motion.
