Back in December, we reported that the Oscar-winning Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had finalized their divorce after an extremely bitter eight-year court battle. Now, Pitt has dropped a bomb on Jolie in an explosive new legal filing.
Pitt Drops Bomb On Jolie
Pitt is requesting to see Jolie’s private messages in a new legal filing that he put forth on June 30. He believes that these messages could provide critical evidence in their ongoing legal battle over their French winery Château Miraval.
Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 50, have been fighting it out over the vineyard ever since she sold her $64 million stake to Yuri Shefler, the owner of Stoli Group’s parent company SPI Group, in 2021. Pitt has argued that in making this sale, Jolie violated the terms of a prior deal that neither would sell their stake unless the other approved.
In legal documents obtained by Daily Mail, Pitt claims Oliynik has direct knowledge of the negotiations between Jolie and her team. The requested documentation reportedly aligns with “his core claims” in the case.
At the time of this writing, the judge has yet to issue a ruling on this.
An insider close to the case told Us Weekly that “this is another example of the defendant’s repeated opposition to sharing documents that would provide insight.”
Pitt Has ‘No Intention’ Of Giving Up
In July of last year, Jolie publicly begged Pitt to “end the fighting” by dropping the lawsuit against her. She claimed that this would allow their family to “heal.”
Pitt, however, was not having any of it. Sources close to Pitt said that he has “no intention” of dropping this lawsuit. They added that he believes that Jolie only made this public plea because she realized she doesn’t have a strong case.
“Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,” said one insider.
Pitt and Jolie met on the set of the 2005 movie Mr And Mrs Smith. At the time, Pitt was still married to the former Friends star Jennifer Aniston. They soon split and he began dating Jolie.
Pitt and Jolie went on to have six children together, eventually marrying in 2014. They actually married at the very French vineyard that they are currently fighting over. Jolie then filed for divorce just over two years later. A brutal legal battle ensued that lasted for eight years. It wasn’t until December of 2024 that Pitt and Jolie’s divorce was finalized.
Pitt Struggles With Bitter Divorce
Those close to Pitt have been open about the toll this divorce took on him.
“The divorce is something that had been controlling his life for so many years,” an insider told US Weekly last week. “He loved her and he knows he made mistakes.”
“It was such a divisive, toxic situation,” the source continued, adding that Jolie “turned the kids against him as well.”
It’s sad that after all these years. Pitt and Jolie are still embroiled in legal battles with one another. We can only hope that the two of them can come to some sort of agreement so that they can each move on with their lives!
