Brad Pitt is demanding private messages amid his ongoing legal battle with ex Angelina Jolie.

In a new filing related to their Château Miraval dispute, the 61-year-old F1 actor is attempting to depose Alexey Oliynik, who works for Stoli Group, per People.

Brad claimed that Alexey had firsthand knowledge of Angelina‘s 2021 sale of the French winery the former couple co-owned to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli Group.

In February 2022, Brad filed a lawsuit alleging that Angelina made the sale despite a prior agreement that neither would do so unless the other person approved.

Angelina responded with a countersuit in September 2022, claiming he’s been “waging a vindictive war against” her since she filed for divorce in 2016.

In the new document filed in the Superior Court of California, Alexey has refused to turn over relevant documents or appear for a deposition, arguing that he could not be forced to do so as a Switzerland resident.

“These requests go directly to key allegations about Pitt’s objections to the sale,” Brad‘s legal team writes in his filing, and “easily meet the standard for discoverability given Pitt’s allegations that Jolie acted with malice in selling to Stoli, a counterparty she knew Pitt opposed.”

Angelina‘s legal team has said in court documents that Brad refused to buy her out of the winery business because she didn’t want to sign a non-disclosure agreement “designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up,” referring to a private jet flight in 2016 in which Brad was allegedly verbally and physically abusive with his family. Brad was not charged by authorities after investigations and Angelina declined to press charges at the time.
