Brad Pitt Moves to Compel Angelina Jolie’s Emails in Miraval Dispute, Seeks to Block $33,000 Fee Bid

He argues her non-lawyer exchanges about the 2021 sale are not protected by attorney–client privilege.

Overview

  • Pitt’s Oct. 27 filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court asks a judge to order production of roughly 22 private communications tied to Jolie’s Château Miraval sale.
  • He is seeking emails with business manager Terry Bird, publicists Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, and two financial consultants, asserting many did not include attorneys.
  • Pitt says Jolie has produced only one internal email referencing the sale terms and accuses her of using privilege to bury key records.
  • Jolie contests the request as an invasion of privileged communications and asks the court to award her $33,000 in legal fees for opposing the motion.
  • A hearing on the discovery dispute is set for Nov. 3, and the broader case over her 2021 sale to Stoli is expected to proceed to a jury trial next year.
