Angelina Jolie scores legal win against Brad Pitt in winery dispute
The judge said Pitt failed to show the emails were not protected, leaving his request denied without prejudice in the long-running winery dispute.
- On Monday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Brad Pitt cannot force Angelina Jolie to disclose private emails tied to her 2021 sale of her 50 percent stake in Château Miraval.
- Pitt filed a 2022 lawsuit claiming Jolie violated a prior agreement by selling her stake to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group, without his approval.
- Jolie's counsel, Paul Murphy, stated Pitt initially demanded 126 privileged documents but backtracked to 22, ultimately receiving "nothing, zero" as the court affirmed the communications are legally protected.
- Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ciny ruled Pitt "has not met his burden" to override privilege, though the motion was "denied without prejudice," allowing future attempts.
- Despite the ruling, the broader conflict persists as Jolie alleges Pitt is "waging a vindictive war" regarding her professional and legal communications, though the court rejected her penalty request.
