Brad Pitt has filed a legal motion seeking access to private messages sent by his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, in connection with their ongoing dispute over the French winery Château Miraval. Pitt is particularly interested in messages between Jolie and Alexei Oliynik, a representative of the Stoli Group, which purchased Jolie's stake in the winery. Pitt has characterized Jolie's sale of her share as "vindictive" and "unlawful" and believes the private communications could serve as crucial evidence in the case. The dispute continues despite the finalization of their divorce, with Pitt aiming to challenge the sale of the winery stake through this legal action.
