Brad Pitt and ex Angelina Jolie's legal battle takes a major turn as he makes fresh new demand

The A-list actors might be divorced, but their legal battle is far from over

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s battle amid their closed divorce has ramped up, and it’s getting messier.

For the past few years, Pitt, 61, has been embroiled in his high-profile divorce from his second wife and Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star Jolie.

Jolie, 49, had claimed in 2016 that the Fight Club actor was abusive to her and their kids, with one major incident taking place on a flight to France back.

During their divorce proceedings, it was shared to the court via documents that the Girl, Interrupted star had claimed she was attacked by her then-husband, and one of their children also allegedly was assaulted on the flight.

However, Pitt has denied all allegations regarding the abuse.

While more and more court cases were being piled on as the pair were battling it out, finally, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott J. Nord approved the divorce settlement on December 31, 2024, after more than eight years after Jolie first filed for divorce.

The pair had been dating for 12 years and married for two when they split, as Jolie cited 'irreconcilable differences'.

But disputes over the pair’s stake in a French winery continues.

The two shared a $25 million winery business in the south of France, when Jolie decided to sell her stake in 2021.

Then, in 2022, Pitt claimed Jolie had broken ‘contractual rights’ by selling her half of Château Miraval without his knowledge to a Russian oligarch, the BBC reported at the time.

Jolie hit back, stating that she had made her intentions to see clear to her ex, and he had returned by asking her to sign a non-disclosure agreement if he was to buy the share from her.

Her countersue went on to accuse Pitt of 'waging a vindictive war' against her, PEOPLE reported.

The cross complaint stated: "When Pitt filed this lawsuit seeking to reassert control over Jolie's financial life and compel her to rejoin her ex-husband as a frozen-out business partner, Pitt forced Jolie to publicly defend herself on these issues for the first time."

The couple originally purchased Château Miraval on May 8, 2008, for 25 million euros, but after their divorce filings and Jolie’s claim that Pitt was shutting her out from the business, she decided to give him the option to buy her out.

Pitt initially agreed to buy her out of Miraval and in February 2021 and agreed to pay her $54.5 million, but once she refused the NDA, Pitt declined to buy her stake in Miraval, and so she turned to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of Stoli Group, for $67 million.

In 2024, a judge ruled that Pitt must disclose documents, which Jolie's lawyer claimed would ‘prove communications concerning abuse, lies to authorities, and years of cover up.’

Now, Pitt has asked for private communications from his ex-wife in a new filing relating to their Château Miraval dispute.

Filed in the Superior Court of California, it demands all of the communications from Stoli Group’s Alexey Oliynik, who Pitt claims had firsthand knowledge of Jolie’s sale of her share.

However, as per the filing, Oliynik refused to turn over relevant documents or appear for a deposition and allegedly is using his Swiss citizenship as a reason as to why he cannot be forced to comply.

‘These requests go directly to key allegations about Pitt’s objections to the sale,’ Pitt’s legal team wrote in the filing, and ‘easily meet the standard for discoverability given Pitt’s allegations that Jolie acted with malice in selling to Stoli, a counterparty she knew Pitt opposed’.

A trial is set for this year.
