A court has ordered actress Angelina Jolie to produce eight years’ worth of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as part of her legal battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt over their French winery, Château Miraval. Jolie must release the NDAs within 60 days, following a ruling from Judge Lia Martin.
The dispute stems from Jolie’s claim that Pitt refused to let her sell her shares in the winery, which they purchased together in 2014. Pitt’s lawyers have requested these NDAs to challenge the credibility of Jolie’s case, alleging that she violated contractual obligations by selling the shares to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler.
While the release of the NDAs could potentially impact Pitt, Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy has stated that they are willing to comply, viewing it as an opportunity to shed light on Pitt’s alleged abuse. The high-profile couple, who share six children, announced their separation in 2016 and finalized their divorce in 2019.
The legal proceedings have brought to light Jolie’s accusations of physical and verbal abuse by Pitt, with allegations of incidents including choking and striking their children. The rift between the former Hollywood power couple has been well-documented since their separation.
The decision to release the NDAs related to the winery sale could uncover further details of the tumultuous relationship between Jolie and Pitt. Both parties seem willing to cooperate with the court’s ruling for now, as the legal battle continues to unfold.
