Brad Pitt slams Angelina Jolie’s ‘intrusive’ request to share his messages in…. see more

Brad Pitt has submitted a legal request for an “intrusive” motion filed by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie in their ongoing winery lawsuit to be denied.

The former couple, who were divorced in 2019, have been entangled in a legal battle over Jolie’s shares of their jointly purchased winery since 2022 when she “secretly” sold her part of the French Château Miraval to a Russian oligarch.

In the most recent development in the case, Pitt asked for the judge to strike down a request from Jolie’s legal team, which asked him to release third-party communications about the pair’s infamous 2016 plane incident.

Pitt’s lawyers called Jolie’s request “wide-ranging and intrusive,” as well as a “sensationalist fishing expedition,” in his legal filing, obtained by People.

His lawyers claimed that Pitt had already “voluntarily offered to produce documents sufficient to show everything that occurred on the flight that precipitated the ex-couple’s divorce – the event that Jolie alleges made Pitt’s NDA request so offensive here.”

Jolie, however, rejected Pitt’s compromise and moved to compel his communications with third parties – including his most trusted advisors – about such sensitive issues as the therapy he voluntarily undertook after the flight incident in an effort to better himself, ‘drug and alcohol testing’ he has allegedly undergone, his alleged ‘overuse or abuse of alcohol,’ and other actions taken in the aftermath of the flight,” they added.

His legal team argued that Pitt’s “private, third-party communications” about the private jet ride were irrelevant to the French winery dispute.

“Jolie, however, wants them anyway as part of her efforts to turn this business dispute into a re-litigation of the former couple’s divorce case,” Pitt’s lawyers said.

The Independent has contacted Jolie’s legal representative for comment.

After Pitt sued his ex-wife for allegedly selling her shares of the French property they purchased together in 2008, Jolie countersued the Fight Club star.
