Actor Brad Pitt won a legal ruling requiring a former Stoli Group executive to answer questions about the 2021 sale of Angelina Jolie's stake in their jointly owned Chateau Miraval winery. The judge ruled attorney-client privilege did not cover commercial aspects of the transaction. Pitt alleges Jolie sold her share without his consent, while Jolie denies any agreement existed and accuses Pitt of pursuing a vindictive legal campaign. Jolie recently secured a separate court win protecting private emails in the dispute.
