The battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie rages on, and this time, private messages are the key! A judge has sided with Pitt, granting his request to unseal Jolie's communications, opening a new chapter in their ongoing legal saga.
In a Los Angeles Superior Court filing dated October 29, Pitt's legal team presented evidence supporting their demand for Jolie's emails. These emails are crucial because they pertain to her legal strategy surrounding the sale of her shares in the Château Miraval winery in 2021, a property once co-owned by the former couple.
The court documents, spanning 286 pages, include both redacted and unredacted exchanges between Jolie and her legal counsel, dating back to 2008. Jolie had previously submitted these communications to the court.
Fast forward to December 17, and Judge Lia Martin made a decisive ruling: Jolie must provide unredacted versions of her communications concerning her legal strategy. But here's where it gets controversial: the communications were allegedly with individuals who are not attorneys, according to reports from Us Weekly and People.
Jolie's legal team now has 45 days to comply with the order, a request she fought to keep private. The legal dispute over their French winery has been ongoing for three years, a place where they married in 2014. The situation has become increasingly acrimonious, with Jolie accusing Pitt of physical abuse and asset "looting."
The trial over Pitt's claims of Jolie's breach of contract is scheduled to begin on February 1, 2027, over five years after he initiated the lawsuit in February 2022. Pitt and Jolie finalized their divorce in December 2024, after separating in 2016. They first crossed paths on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in 2005, quickly becoming a high-profile couple following Pitt's divorce from Jennifer Aniston. The dissolution of their marriage shocked Hollywood, having established themselves as a powerful force in both philanthropy and entertainment.
