Just when we thought the legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was finally over, BOOM! Another development!
It’s been a LOOOOOOONG nine years for the exes amid their never ending legal war. When they finally reached a divorce settlement in December, there was a glimmer of hope they’d wrap up this near-decade of litigation… But their war over the Château Miraval is far from over.
As you may recall, the pair co-owned the French winery and according to Brad, had an agreement that if one wanted to sell their stake, neither would do so without first getting it approved by the other. But Angelina bypassed said agreement in 2021 when she sold her stake to Tenute del Mondo, the Stoli Group‘s division having to do with wine. And the F1 star has been pissed about it since!

In his latest legal move on June 30, the 61-year-old filed to depose Alexey Oliynik of Stoli Group, whom the movie star claims has insider knowledge of Angelina’s 2021 sale. According to multiple outlets, Brad wants all the private messages related to the sale! But Oliynik ain’t budging as he argues as a citizen of Switzerland, he cannot be forced to adhere to legal matters filed in the Superior Court of California.
However, Brad’s team has since explained in a statement “these requests go directly to key allegations about Pitt’s objections to the sale” and that his filings “easily meet the standard for discoverability given Pitt’s allegations that Jolie acted with malice in selling to Stoli, a counterparty she knew Pitt opposed.”
An insider told Page Six the situation is “not just about Alexei [Oliynik], it’s about Stoli [Group] as a whole” and that Brad’s hand “has been forced.” A second insider added:
“Stoli has consistently chosen to avoid or challenge evidentiary court rulings. They’ve been failing to comply with the typical legal process.”
A judge has yet to rule.
Yeesh. This is truly the legal battle that never ends! What are your thoughts on this latest update?
