Overview
- New filings dated Oct. 27 in Los Angeles County Superior Court ask a judge to compel production of 22 documents and emails tied to the Miraval transaction.
- Pitt seeks emails with non-lawyer advisers including business manager Terry Bird, publicists Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, and two financial consultants.
- Jolie has refused to turn over the communications, asserting privilege, and her lawyer accused Pitt of trying to invade protected discussions.
- Pitt argues only one internal email referencing the sale has been produced and alleges misuse of privilege to withhold messages discussing the deal’s terms.
- The dispute stems from Jolie’s 2021 sale to Stoli and Pitt’s 2022 suit over an alleged consent agreement, with a June effort to depose Stoli executive Alexey Oliynik and no court ruling yet on the current motions or Jolie’s $33,000 fee request.
