Brad Pitt Requests Private Messages Amid Angelina Jolie Legal Battle Over Winery

VAR, PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D'AZUR, JUL 09 – Brad Pitt demands access to Angelina Jolie’s private messages amid claims she sold their winery stake without his consent, violating their agreement, court documents show.

  • On June 30, 2025, Brad Pitt filed court documents seeking Angelina Jolie's private messages and to depose Alexey Oliynik over their dispute about Château Miraval.
  • This legal action follows Pitt's 2022 lawsuit alleging Jolie sold her shares in the winery without his approval, violating their agreement not to sell without mutual consent.
  • Jolie countersued accusing Pitt of waging a vindictive war, claiming she backed out of the deal due to his attempt to force her to sign an NDA over alleged abuse.
  • Pitt's filing states Oliynik, a Stoli Group employee based in Switzerland, holds firsthand knowledge of the 2021 sale and has refused to comply with document requests or a deposition.
  • This ongoing conflict involves countersuits accusing Pitt of mismanaging winery funds, and both parties preparing for a 15-day trial yet to be scheduled.
