Angelina Jolie has to turn over a slew of secret text and email messages related to her legal battle against Brad Pitt over Chateau Miraval.
In an order filed on Wednesday, December 17, and obtained by the National Enquirer, a judge granted the F1 star’s motion to compel his ex to “produce in full” 22 documents with “unredacted versions of the communications exchanged between non-attorneys” — including her business manager and trusted aides — within 45 days.
The Maria actress, 50, had argued that the messages were protected by a non-disclosure agreement.

The Mr. & Mrs. Smith costars’ 12-year relationship ended abruptly following an infamous fight aboard a private plane in 2016, which led to a bitter divorce and custody battle.
She filed a countersuit claiming that the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star was “waging a vindictive war against” her and that he had refused to buy her share because she wouldn’t sign an NDA “designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up.” (Pitt was not charged with any crime.)
“Upon filing for divorce, I left him control (and full residency) of our family homes in Los Angeles and at Miraval, without compensation, which I hoped would make him calmer in his dealings with me after a difficult and traumatic period,” the Unbroken director added in an October 6 filing. “To this day, the children and I have never again set foot on the property, given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce.”

Jolie had previously been ordered to turn over every NDA she signed between 2014 and 2022.
According to documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the judge has set a trial date of February 1, 2027, and mediation was ordered for October 28, 2026.
