Overview
- In early July 2026, Brad Pitt formally asked a court to compel Angelina Jolie to produce her tax returns and other financial records for 2017–2019 as part of their ongoing Miraval litigation.
- Jolie filed opposing papers saying Pitt selectively quoted her remark about seeking "financial independence," that she meant separating finances from Pitt, and that older returns would be an invasion of her privacy.
- Jolie’s lawyers noted she already provided tax returns for other years and offered access to 2020–2021 records rather than the 2017–2019 period Pitt seeks.
- Pitt’s team argues the 2017–2019 records are probative because evidence of Jolie’s substantial income then, including reported pay for Maleficent, could undercut her claim that she had no realistic alternative to selling her Miraval stake.
- The dispute ties to Pitt’s claim that Jolie breached an agreement by selling her share to Yuri Shefler’s Stoli and to Jolie’s framing of the sale as a move to disentangle finances from a controlling ex, and a judge has not yet ruled on the contested discovery.
