Thursday, July 10, 2025 - Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has filed a fresh motion in court seeking access to private messages exchanged by his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, in their ongoing legal battle over Château Miraval, the French winery they once co-owned.
According to Daily Mail, In documents filed on June 30, Brad
claimed that obtaining Jolie’s communications—particularly those with the Stoli
Group and its executive Alexey Oliynik—is vital to support his claims. Pitt,
61, argues that Jolie sold her $64 million stake in the vineyard to Russian
billionaire Yuri Shefler, despite a prior agreement between them that neither
party would sell without the other’s consent.
So far, Pitt’s legal team says efforts to depose Oliynik
have failed, as the Stoli Group executive maintains that he is a Swiss resident
and not subject to California court jurisdiction. Still, Pitt insists that
Oliynik holds key knowledge of the sale negotiations.
This legal move is the latest in the pair’s ongoing feud
since Jolie sold her share in 2021. The former couple, who separated in 2016,
have since been locked in bitter disputes over both the business and other
personal matters, including NDAs tied to the winery sale.
While Jolie previously asked Pitt to end the litigation for
the sake of their family’s healing, insiders suggest Pitt is standing his
ground, believing the case has moved beyond personal issues into the realm of
standard business enforcement.
The court has yet to rule on Pitt’s latest filing.
