Jolie Challenges Pitt Bid for Private Emails in Miraval Case, Seeks $33,000 in Fees

Her new court declaration also describes ceding control of family homes and rejecting a proposed NDA tied to a failed buyout.

Overview

  • Angelina Jolie filed an Oct. 6 declaration in Los Angeles County Superior Court opposing Brad Pitt’s motion to compel her private messages, asserting attorney‑client privilege.
  • She asks the court to order Pitt to reimburse about $33,000 in attorneys’ fees incurred in responding to his discovery bid.
  • Jolie states she left Pitt with control and full residency of their Los Angeles and Château Miraval homes without compensation and says she and the children have not returned to the estate.
  • She says she refused a proposed non‑disclosure agreement during 2021 buyout talks and later sold her Miraval stake to Stoli’s Tenute del Mondo; Pitt’s lawsuit claims the sale needed his approval, which she disputes.
  • Discovery disputes continue and the judge has not ruled on the pending motions, with Pitt also seeking evidence involving Stoli executives.
