Brad Pitt’s $35 Million Miraval Claim Surfaces in New Filings as Discovery Fight Intensifies

New exhibits spotlight a dispute over withheld emails, with a court hearing set for December 17.

Overview

  • Pitt’s October 29 filing includes a November 2023 email from Jolie’s lawyers stating he is suing her for $35 million in damages over the 2021 stake sale.
  • Jolie’s team is asserting attorney‑client privilege over contested communications, arguing NDA‑related records are central to their case, while Pitt seeks to compel 22 documents.
  • Pitt has asked the judge to reject Jolie’s request for $33,000 in fees tied to the email‑production dispute.
  • Filed exhibits also contain Jolie’s May 2021 note to her business manager saying she needed to remove all stress and felt sick from worry.
  • The case stems from Jolie’s sale of her Château Miraval interest to Stoli’s Tenute del Mondo, which Pitt says breached a mutual‑consent agreement, with proceedings ongoing in Los Angeles Superior Court.
