Brad Pitt Wins Court Order in Winery Dispute with Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who were married and divorced, own a winery together in France.
They are fighting in court because Angelina wanted to sell her part of the winery, and Brad says she didn't follow their agreement.
A judge recently ordered Angelina to give Brad some emails and documents that she had kept secret.
Brad's team thinks these emails will show that Angelina wasn't honest about her plans to sell.
Angelina's team says Brad is trying to get back at her.
They both have different stories about what happened, and the court is trying to figure out the truth.
Brad Pitt won a court order requiring Angelina Jolie to hand over emails and documents related to their winery dispute.
Jolie must provide unedited copies of 22 non-privileged communications within 45 days.
Pitt alleges Jolie sold her stake in Château Miraval to Stoli Group without his consent, violating their agreement.
Jolie denies the existence of any such agreement and claims Pitt is launching a 'revenge campaign' against her.
The dispute stems from their 2016 divorce and ongoing custody battles, with Pitt seeking $35 million in damages.
