Pitt Accused of Secret Legal Snooping in Jolie Vodka War
13 Jun
Summary
- Stoli alleges Brad Pitt improperly obtained private bank emails.
- The emails allegedly involved questions about Putin and Russian assets.
- Brad Pitt's team is accused of withholding subpoena details from Stoli.
In the ongoing legal dispute between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie concerning their French winery, Château Miraval, Russian vodka company Stoli has accused Pitt of improper legal tactics. New court documents reveal Stoli claims Pitt's team issued a subpoena in December 2025 to a bank, seeking emails related to Stoli, including inquiries about Vladimir Putin and Russian assets.
Stoli alleges that Pitt's representatives did not disclose the subpoena until after they had already acquired the bank's documents. The liquor company argues these subpoenas pertained to matters unrelated to the Miraval case and wants the information destroyed, believing Pitt sought to prevent them from objecting.
A source close to Pitt suggested that both Angelina Jolie and Stoli have a history of withholding documents, indicating a reciprocal issue. This source also downplayed the current argument, noting that a hearing has not yet occurred.
Pitt's original objection to selling the winery to Stoli stemmed from concerns over the company's business practices, which he believed were highlighted by the bankruptcy documents in question.
