In what could be a significant development of the court case, Angelina Jolie has 45 days to comply with the decision.
Brad Pitt, 62, has won the latest round in his long-running court dispute with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 50, over their former French winery, Château Miraval.
The mother-of-six must turn over a number of previously kept private messages related to the case, according to a ruling in a court in Los Angeles.
The messages are a part of the ongoing dispute over Pitt’s claim that the sale of Jolie’s stake in Miraval was made without his knowledge.
The former couple, who were married in 2014, co-owned the winery and even got married there. According to Pitt, there was a protocol prohibiting either party from selling their stock without the other’s consent.
The Tomb Raider star has always denied that there was a deal, and he has previously argued against Pitt, accusing him of acting harshly and trying to hurt her financially.

However, in court documents seen by People, a judge agreed with the Bullet Train star’s legal team that certain communications should be disclosed in full. Now, the actress has been ordered to provide un-redacted versions of messages exchanged between non-lawyers that were previously withheld. She has been given 45 days to comply with the ruling.
The messages, according to Brad’s legal team, could allegedly challenge her account of what she intended to do when she sold her stake in the business to a group connected to the Stoli Group.
In recent years, Brad and Brad have engaged in legal arguments, seeking damages totaling £28 million ($35 million) from the two because they allege the sale damaged the winery’s reputation and operations. By bringing a claim for such a sizable damages, Angelina’s attorneys claim that her ex-husband assumed the burden of producing documents.
The ex-couple’s legal juggles include the division of their shared assets and custody of Maddox, Pax, Pax, Pax, Zahara, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16, among others.
After a tumultuous romance that began on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” back in 2005, Brad and Angelina tied the knot in 2014. In 2016, Angelina filed for divorce in the same year, causing a tense row over custody and business interests, some of which are still unresolved.
The actor, who was once married to Jennifer Aniston until their breakup in 2005, appears to have found peace amid the chaos of fame.
Angelina’s attorney said in a statement that Brad and Angelina were “exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”
Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt more than eight years ago, according to attorney James Simon, who spoke to the Associated Press. She and her children left all of the property they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then, she has been trying to bring their family peace and healing.
This is only one component of a long-running process that began eight years ago.
