Los Angeles, July 15, 2025 — Hold onto your Château Miraval rosé, Hollywood’s latest explosive drama just hit a fever pitch. In a move that’s sending shockwaves through Tinseltown, Brad Pitt—the suave actor, wine baron, and father of six—is now demanding to see Angelina Jolie’s private messages in an escalating legal war over their French winery.

This isn’t your average celebrity feud. Pitt has filed a scorching June 30 court motion demanding access to Jolie’s communications with Alexey Oliynik of the Stoli Group. He claims those messages hold the key evidence in her 2021 sale of her half of Château Miraval—an act he alleges was done without his consent, breaching an ironclad agreement between them. This twist has turned a business dispute into a high-stakes, emotional showdown.

🔍 PRIVATE MESSAGES UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

In chilling detail, Brad’s legal team is going all in. They want:

Every text, email, and WhatsApp Jolie exchanged with Oliynik that relate to the Miraval deal.
A remote deposition of Oliynik himself—despite his refusal to travel from Switzerland, a move that Pitt’s lawyers argue is just a stalling tactic.

Court docs describe this request as “directly tied to Pitt’s allegations that Jolie acted with malice” by selling to a Russian-linked company without his go‑ahead. They even claim Jolie attempted to attach an NDA to the deal—a clause Pitt refused, believing it would silence her from speaking on his alleged abuse.

🏰 A VINEYARD FOR LOVE… OR WAR?

Pitt and Jolie bought Château Miraval in 2008, cementing their Brangelina status. But their 2016 split unleashed years of drama. Off-screen tension boiled over when Jolie sold her 50% stake to Tenute del Mondo, part of the Stoli empire run by Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler. Pitt responded with a lawsuit in 2022, calling the sale “vindictive”, claiming Jolie had broken a mutual consent clause.

In turn, Jolie countersued, accusing Pitt of pushing a harsh NDA meant to gag her from talking about alleged abuse on a 2016 private jet. She described it as a “vindictive war” to maintain control.

⚖️ JUDGE ORDERS NDAs—AND THE DRAMA TAKES OFF

Earlier this year, a judge ruled Jolie must hand over eight years of her NDAs, seeking to test Pitt’s claim that the deal-forgiveness pact was out of line. Jolie’s lawyers argue they’ve complied and that the gag clause Pitt demanded was far more aggressive than standard nondisclosure terms.

Now, by demanding her private messages with Oliynik, Brad may be looking to prove Jolie coordinated with the Stoli Group behind his back—potentially exposing suspicious intentions, shady messaging, or attempts to justify the sale.

💔 BEYOND THE WINERY: CHILDREN & EMOTIONS COLLIDE

This fight isn’t just about wine—it’s personal. Brad and Angelina share six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19), and twins Vivienne & Knox (16). The messages he seeks could inadvertently reveal their private family dynamics, the maxims Jolie and Pitt shared—or hid—from each other.

Insiders say Pitt is desperate to rebuild ties with his kids, sensing their drifting. In a parallel legal filing, Pitt mentioned “collateral damage” to their family if Jolie’s deal stands—and these messages might show just how deep those wounds go.

📰 WHAT MIGHT BE EXPOSED?

Industry insiders speculate Jolie’s texts might include:

Her rationale for the 2021 deal—maybe personal or strategic reasons unknown to Pitt.
Pressure tactics? Requests for confidentiality or coordination with Oliynik.
Mentions of the rumored NDA—was she coerced or protective?
Any discussions about the children, the family’s financial future, or shared memories of the estate.

If Pitt gets those messages, it could not only undermine Jolie’s defense, but reveal a side of an actress who’s been fiercely private about her motives—opening a Pandora’s box of revelations.

📉 PITTSBURG: THE PRICE OF PRIVACY

Legal analysts warn this move could junk Jolie’s final attempt to close the divorce era. Even after finalizing in December 2024, this Miraval battle drags on—and exposing personal messages could bring more emotional wreckage.

Jolie’s team is likely to mount a ferocious defense, arguing these are privileged communications—protected by attorney-client or spousal privacy laws. Expect courtroom fireworks over whether texts exchanged in a business context should remain personal.

💥 HOLLYWOOD REACTS: WHO’S TEAM PITT?

Buzz across the web is already wild. Celebs on X are split; some see Brad as a protective dad, others paint Jolie as fighting to preserve her independence. Legal experts speculate this move could force Jolie into public confession mode, undermining her safe stance.

Meanwhile, wine insiders fear a sale to Stoli—**a Russian-linked company at a time when Russian controversies remain hot—**could hurt Miraval’s prestigious brand. Pitt could be trying to regain control by any means. If Jolie’s messages show intent, he might derail the deal entirely.

👀 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

The court has not yet ruled on whether Jolie must hand over the messages or allow a remote deposition from her former business partner.
If allowed: Text logs and message metadata will be scrutinized by both sides, televised in legal filings that could leak to media.
If denied: Brad may escalate, demand more documents—or bring new allegations. He’s already presented NDAs and documented efforts. This is far from over.

🚨 FINAL VERDICT: TURN UP THE HEAT

This saga is pure explosive material: Hollywood royalty, international business fury, and family drama with six kids at its center. The demand for private messages turns a vineyard dispute into an emotional minefield.

Will Jolie’s messages undermine her defense? Will Pitt finally regain leverage—or expose more wounds than wins? All eyes are on the next judge’s ruling. One thing’s sure: this fight isn’t ending quietly, and the fallout could rewrite the narrative of one of Hollywood’s most famed couples.
