Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has filed a fresh motion in court seeking access to private messages exchanged by his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, in their ongoing legal battle over Château Miraval, the French winery they once co-owned.

In documents filed on June 30, Brad claimed that obtaining Jolie’s communications—particularly those with the Stoli Group and its executive Alexey Oliynik—is vital to support his claims. Pitt, 61, argues that Jolie sold her $64 million stake in the vineyard to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, despite a prior agreement between them that neither party would sell without the other’s consent.

So far, Pitt’s legal team says efforts to depose Oliynik have failed, as the Stoli Group executive maintains that he is a Swiss resident and not subject to California court jurisdiction. Still, Pitt insists that Oliynik holds key knowledge of the sale negotiations.

This legal move is the latest in the pair’s ongoing feud since Jolie sold her share in 2021. The former couple, who separated in 2016, have since been locked in bitter disputes over both the business and other personal matters, including NDAs tied to the winery sale.

While Jolie previously asked Pitt to end the litigation for the sake of their family’s healing, insiders suggest Pitt is standing his ground, believing the case has moved beyond personal issues into the realm of standard business enforcement.

The court has yet to rule on Pitt’s latest filing.
