The legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, a court has directed Pitt to release key documents that Jolie’s legal team believes will substantiate allegations of misconduct during their marriage. The ruling, issued on November 25, marks another turning point in their long-standing dispute over the French winery, Château Miraval, and personal grievances linked to their past relationship.

Court Ruling and Allegations

The documents in question include Pitt’s emails, text messages, and other communications, excluding privileged exchanges with his therapists or attorneys. Angelina Jolie’s legal team contends these materials contain evidence of alleged abuse, deception, and cover-ups by Pitt.

Paul Murphy, Jolie’s attorney, emphasized the significance of the documents, stating:

“His actions harmed Angelina and their children and are central to the case. This evidence is crucial to demonstrating the extent of his behavior.”

Murphy also reiterated that Jolie initially sought to avoid conflict by offering Pitt the chance to buy her share of their winery business. According to Murphy, Pitt’s refusal to resolve matters amicably and his insistence on legal action have escalated the dispute.

Background of the Winery Dispute

The conflict over Château Miraval, a sprawling winery in the south of France, began after Jolie sold her 50% stake in the estate to Tenute del Mondo, part of the Stoli Group, in 2022. Pitt alleged that Jolie violated an agreement requiring mutual consent before selling their shares. Jolie’s team, however, argued that Pitt’s demand for a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) was an attempt to silence her regarding his alleged misconduct.

The dispute is intertwined with a personal history that includes Jolie’s claims of physical abuse. She has cited an incident on a private plane in September 2016, during which Pitt allegedly became aggressive while intoxicated, as a key reason for her decision to file for divorce. Although authorities cleared Pitt after investigations into the plane incident, Jolie’s legal filings assert a broader pattern of alleged abusive behavior.

Potential Consequences

The court’s ruling places Brad Pitt under pressure to comply with the order or face legal ramifications. If he fails to produce the requested documents, Jolie’s legal team has indicated they will proceed with presenting evidence to refute Pitt’s allegations. Murphy suggested that Pitt’s focus should be on repairing familial relationships, stating:

“This prolonged legal battle benefits no one. Angelina and the children have always sought peace and resolution.”

Impact on the Family

Jolie and Pitt share six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. While Jolie has publicly stated her desire to protect her children’s privacy, the ongoing legal battles have brought unwelcome scrutiny.

Both parties have accused the other of prolonging the dispute, but Jolie’s team asserts that Pitt’s lawsuits have compounded the strain on their family.
