Pitt Seeks Emails in New Filing as He Presses $35 Million Claim Over Jolie’s Miraval Sale

The fight has shifted to whether Jolie’s emails are protected by privilege ahead of a Dec. 17 hearing.

Overview

  • On Oct. 29, Brad Pitt’s legal team filed exhibits that include 2023 correspondence from Angelina Jolie’s attorneys stating he is suing her for $35 million over the 2021 Miraval stake sale.
  • Jolie is resisting disclosure of contested communications by asserting attorney‑client privilege, and Pitt is asking the court to compel production of targeted documents.
  • The filings reference disputes over proposed nondisclosure and non‑disparagement terms, which Pitt’s side links to the failed buyout talks and which Jolie’s side says relate to alleged personal misconduct.
  • Pitt maintains Jolie sold to Stoli’s Tenute del Mondo without the required consent under a prior understanding, a claim she denies by disputing that any approval agreement existed.
  • The buyer‑affiliated entities have countersued Pitt alleging mismanagement, and the court has set the next public hearing in the case for Dec. 17.
