She must disclose private messages - Court Orders Angelina Jolie to Release Private Records in Winery Feud With Brad Pitt
A Los Angeles court has ordered Angelina Jolie to hand over private messages and records within 45 days as part of her ongoing legal battle with Brad Pitt. The dispute centers on the sale of her stake in Château Miraval, a French winery the pair co-owned. Pitt's legal team argues the documents could reveal inconsistencies in Jolie's claims about the transaction.
The conflict began when Jolie sold her share of Château Miraval to Tenute del Mondo in February 2022. Pitt responded by suing to block the sale and demanding $35 million in damages. His lawyers successfully pushed for the disclosure of 22 previously withheld documents, which Jolie had claimed were protected by legal privilege.
The court's decision forces Jolie to release the documents by the set deadline. The records may play a key role in determining whether she acted improperly in the winery sale. Pitt's lawsuit for damages remains unresolved, with further legal proceedings expected.
