Brad Pitt's legal team has filed a motion to obtain Angelina Jolie’s private messages and depose Alexei Oliynik related to their dispute over the sale of their French winery, Château Miraval, which Jolie sold without Pitt’s approval after their split.
Angelina Jolie's legal team filed a motion to acquire Brad Pitt's communications related to a nondisclosure agreement that allegedly scuttled the sale of her share of their winery. Jolie's team accused Pitt of attempting to control and financially drain her, as well as hiding his history of abuse. The legal dispute also involves allegations of abuse that predated their 2016 divorce, with Jolie seeking Pitt's communications with various authorities. Pitt's team has accused Jolie of secretly selling her winery share and seeking to inflict harm on him, while Jolie's camp claims Pitt refused to complete the sale unless she agreed to be silenced about his alleged abuse.
