The ongoing legal battle between Hollywood’s former power couple took an ugly turn when Brad Pitt sued his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for $35 million in damages over the sale of the latter’s stake in a winery they co-owned.
According to reports, Pitt's legal team has submitted new documents in court, including evidence communications to and from Jolie's team regarding the 2021 sale of her stake in Château Miraval.
Pitt had first filed a lawsuit in 2022, claiming that his ex-wife sold her share of the winery despite a prior agreement that neither would do so unless the other person approved.
The documents from the filing on October 29 included an email from Angelina's legal team: "The burdensome nature of any production is a matter of Mr. Pitt's own creation—he is suing Ms. Jolie for $35 million in damages."
The emails also included Brad's "continuing refusals to produce documents."

The ‘F1 star’, 61, previously filed a claim shutting down his ex-wife's request for $33,000 to pay for legal fees and damages accruing from his team's request for her email exchanges, including with her lawyers, business advisors, and even "image consultants." The Oscar-winning actress has, for the most part, cited attorney-client privilege in denying access to the communications.
The case's next hearing has been scheduled for December 17.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who share six children - Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox - parted ways in 2016 after 12 years together and two years of marriage. The Oscar-winning actors finalised their divorce in December 2024.
