thebalanced.newsCourt Rules Against Brad Pitt in Dispute Over Angelina Jolie's Winery Emails
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Brad Pitt cannot compel Angelina Jolie to disclose 22 private emails related to her 2021 sale of her stake in the French winery Chateau Miraval, siding with Jolie's claim of legal privilege. This reverses a prior decision directing disclosure, though Pitt may raise the issue again. Jolie's legal team hailed the ruling as a protection of privileged communications, while a source close to Pitt viewed it as a temporary setback in their ongoing dispute.
