Overview
- A Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted Brad Pitt's motion on December 17, directing Jolie to turn over 22 non‑lawyer communications that her team had listed on a February 2025 privilege log.
- The materials must be produced unredacted within 45 days after Jolie previously withheld them under claims of legal privilege.
- The court also denied Jolie's motion for sanctions, marking a procedural win for Pitt as the dispute shifts toward a document-driven review.
- Pitt argues the communications could illuminate Jolie's intentions around her sale to Tenute del Mondo, while Jolie denies any binding oral restriction on selling her stake.
- Pitt’s 2022 suit seeks roughly $35 million in damages tied to the sale, and Jolie’s counterclaims include allegations that he sought an NDA related to past misconduct claims.
