Brad Pitt requests that the L.A. judge order Angelina Jolie to turn over the emails regarding the sale of the French winery, calling the move a “last-ditch attempt.”

In Touch obtains the court documents which show the Oscar winner’s legal team tells the court, “In a last-ditch attempt to suppress the truth about her wrongful sale to the Stoli Parties, [Angelina] has withheld hundreds of emails she exchanged with her inner circle in the period leading up to the sale on claims of attorney-client privilege.”

They continue, “But 126 of those emails are entirely between non-lawyers. These 126 communications should be ordered produced.”

Brad’s lawyer further contends, “After stonewalling for more than a year, [Angelina] finally agreed to produce these documents last summer.”

However, his legal team says,“[Angelina’s] agreement to produce them has turned out to be illusory. Indeed, [Angelina] has produced only one internal communication discussing or reflecting the sale.”

“[Angelina] claims that all of her team’s other internal communications on this subject are protected by the attorney/client privilege. This includes hundreds of emails to or from non-attorneys." 

"Such as her business manager Terry Bird, her image consultants Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, her wine consultant Christophe Salin, her finance consultants Marjorie Brabet-Friel and James Friel, and her personal assistants Michael Vieira and Mindy Nyby."

"126 of these communications do not even involve any attorney participant. [Angelina’s] wildly overbroad assertion of privilege over these 126 communications is unsupported by the law, and it cannot justify her near-complete cover-up of this critically important discovery," the lawyer argues.

The dispute is over a French winery the couple equally owned. However, after their separation, Angelina sold her stake in the business, leading Brad to file a lawsuit, alleging she did not seek his approval before selling.
