Angelina Jolie lamented the ongoing strain of her legal battle with Brad Pitt over their Château Miraval winery in newly released emails.
“I need to remove all stress,” the “Malificent” star wrote in a May 2021 email to her business manager, per legal documents obtained by USA Today Wednesday.
She added in the partially redacted email, “I honestly feel I am getting sick from worry. So I would like us to discuss better support. And not continuing relationships that you see cause me stress.”
She also seemingly referenced her brother, James Haven, writing in part, “Financial situations like Jamie where I just give and give and don’t even get a thank you … is just wrong.”
Another email from November 2023 — submitted into evidence by Pitt’s legal team on Oct. 29, according to People — was a response from the “Tomb Raider” star’s lawyers over an alleged $35 million lawsuit by Pitt, 61.
“The burdensome nature of any production is a matter of Mr. Pitt’s own creation—he is suing Ms. Jolie for $35 million in damages,” the attorneys reportedly wrote at the time.
“As a result, he has to incur the expense of producing the documents that will show (or not show) those damages.”
A third email from Jolie’s team, dated October 2023, seemingly corroborated the allegation that he’s suing Jolie for millions, stating that the “Inglorious Basterds” actor is “seeking ongoing damages for alleged harm to Miraval’s ongoing operations.”
The email also addressed what they described as, “Pitt’s continuing refusals to produce documents relating to the reasons why he needed his four-year NDA covering his personal misconduct,” adding that the documents are important “to the heart of our case and must be produced.”
Page Six has reached out to reps for Jolie and Pitt for comment.
Per USA Today, the recent 286-page filing in Los Angeles is reportedly part of Pitt’s attorneys’ efforts to obtain copies of Jolie’s email communications over the 2021 sale of Miraval.
Jolie’s team has claimed attorney client privilege in the matter, refusing to hand them over.
Pitt also requested that the judge nix Jolie’s request that Pitt hand over $33,000 — an amount she previously asked the court to order for the attorneys’ fees to file an opposition to his original request for the private emails.
Pitt initially filed a lawsuit in 2022 alleging that the Oscar-winning actress offloaded her part of the winery despite an alleged agreement requiring the other person’s approval to make a sale.
Jolie, 50, denied there was such an agreement and fired back with her own lawsuit — alleging the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star had leveled what she called a “vindictive war” against her.
Pitt, Jolie’s team alleged, had declined the opportunity to buy Jolie out of the winery because she didn’t want to sign a non-disclosure agreement that would have prevented her from speaking about an alleged 2016 incident on a plane.
Jolie previously claimed that during the alleged incident, which took place on a private jet, her ex-husband was abusive to her and their six children.
Jolie declined to press charges over the incident at the time, and authorities did not charge the “F1” star.
An attorney for the “Girl, Interrupted” actress told People in a statement that “Mr. Pitt’s reply brief does not address our arguments and continues to rely on conjecture and speculation — all for the purpose of invading her privileged communications with her lawyers.”
Jolie’s lawyer Paul Murphy continued, “This once again confirms that this lawsuit is the manifestation of Mr. Pitt’s years-long effort to harass and control Angelina. We look forward to the upcoming hearing.”
The former power couple is scheduled to meet in court again on Dec. 17.
Pitt and Jolie finalized their lengthy eight-year divorce in December 2024. They tied the knot at the ill-fated winery in 2014 with all six of their kids — Maddox, now 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17 — in attendance.
They separated just two years later, in 2016, with Jolie filing for divorce from Pitt due to “irreconcilable differences.”
