Brad Pitt has slammed Angelina Jolie for making ‘intrusive’ requests as the court battle between the two stars rages on.
Back in 2022, Pitt sued Jolie for selling off her stake in a French winery the former couple had purchased together without his consent. Pitt sued to reverse Jolie’s stock sale to Stoli, a company owned by a Russian oligarch.
Jolie hit back, denying any wrongdoing and claiming she did not need Pitt’s approval to make the sale.
Stoli then launched its own $350 million countersuit, accusing Pitt of misusing company assets. Pitt duly refuted the claims, which only added to the back-and-forth list of insults and accusations made by the actor, his ex-wife, and those associated with her.
With both the aforementioned court cases in progress, Pitt has moved to accuse Jolie of “wide ranging and intrusive” demands during the couple’s dispute.
Court documents obtained by In Touch lay out how Pitt is now accusing Jolie of making 54 requests for documents that he says are unrelated to the current cases.
Readers may remember that earlier this year Pitt’s reputation was besmirched when Jolie alleged in court documents that Pitt had become abusive during a plane ride from France to California in 2016. The Tomb Raider star accused Pitt of “grabbing” her “by the head” before also becoming physically aggressive towards two of their children.
In Touch now say that Jolie is requesting Pitt turn over all private communication he had with his friends and business partners regarding the distasteful incident.
In a new motion, Pitt’s lawyer slammed Jolie’s request for his client’s private chats, labeling them an ‘unnecessary motion practice’ and a vehicle for ‘another public filing rife with personal attacks.’
He added: “These private, third-party communications are far removed from the issues and allegations in this case, and in many cases, they have nothing but the most tenuous relationship to ‘what happened on that plane.’
“Jolie, however, wants them anyway as part of her efforts to turn this business dispute into a re-litigation of the former couple’s divorce case.”
