Brad Pitt's legal wins keep coming as Angelina Jolie winery battle rages on

Key Points:

• Brad Pitt won a court motion compelling depositions from the Stoli Group, the wine company involved in Angelina Jolie’s 2021 sale of their co-owned Château Miraval winery, amid their ongoing legal dispute.
• Pitt’s legal team argues that Stoli Group investors have firsthand knowledge of the sale, but the company initially resisted providing documents and testimony, citing jurisdictional issues.
• Jolie’s side maintains she sold to Stoli for their global distribution capabilities to benefit their children, while Pitt’s camp accuses him of obstructing cooperation due to personal conflicts.
• The court battle, stemming from a 2021 sale of Jolie’s winery shares without Pitt’s approval, has seen multiple rulings, including a Michigan judge ordering further testimony and a Los Angeles judge protecting Jolie’s private emails under attorney-client privilege.
• The couple’s divorce finalized in December 2024 after eight years of legal battles marked by mutual accusations, with both sides preparing for trial to resolve the Château Miraval dispute.
