BOMBSHELL! Brad Pitt Demands Angelina Jolie's Private Messages in Bitter Battle Over French Winery

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt is taking drastic measures to get to the bottom of his bitter feud with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The 61-year-old actor has filed legal documents requesting access to Jolie's private messages, which he believes could hold the key to resolving their ongoing dispute over their French winery, Château Miraval.

The drama began when Jolie sold her $64 million stake in the vineyard to Yuri Shefler, owner of SPI Group and parent company to Stoli Group, in 2021. Pitt claims that Jolie made the sale without his approval, violating their prior agreement not to sell their shares unless both parties gave consent.

In a bid to uncover the truth behind Jolie's decision, Pitt has been trying to depose Alexey Oliynik, a top executive at Stoli Group. In a recently obtained legal filing, Pitt argues that Oliynik has direct knowledge of the negotiations between Jolie and her team, and that his testimony could provide critical evidence in the case.

The judge has yet to rule on Pitt's request, but thescholarlynote.com has learned that the actor is determined to get to the bottom of the matter. "This is another example of the defendant's repeated opposition to sharing documents that would provide insight," a source close to the situation reveals.

Pitt and Jolie have been embroiled in an acrimonious battle over their winery, with the couple trading barbs and accusations through their respective legal teams. The drama has taken a toll on their family, with several of their children dropping Pitt's last name from their monikers in recent months.

The source adds that Pitt is not backing down in his pursuit of Jolie's private messages, stating, "Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court."

For her part, Jolie has asked Pitt to "end the fighting" and drop his lawsuit against her, citing the need for their family to "heal." However, insiders claim that Jolie's request was a desperate attempt to salvage what's left of their relationship, after realizing she didn't have as strong a case as she thought.

The couple's children, including sons Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and fraternal twins Vivienne and Knox, are caught in the middle of the drama. Pitt has reportedly had "virtually no contact" with his adult children since they dropped his last name from their monikers.
