In a major legal win for Angelina Jolie, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that she is not required to disclose private emails related to the sale of their co-owned French winery, Château Miraval, located in the south of France. The judge stated that Brad Pitt, who sued Jolie for $35 million in damages over her 2021 sale of her stake, failed to prove that the communications were not protected by attorney-client privilege. This decision follows an appellate court's earlier ruling that overturned a previous order requiring Jolie to present these emails. While the judge acknowledged that further discovery might reveal additional facts, they emphasized that Pitt had not substantiated his claims in the current record. Jolie's legal team celebrated the ruling as a significant victory, asserting that Pitt's attempts to access privileged documents were unwarranted. The case has also highlighted allegations of Pitt's abusive behavior towards Jolie and their family, which Jolie's lawyers claim are central to the ongoing legal disputes. The couple, who were married in 2014 and separated in 2016, share six children.
