A Los Angeles judge gives Brad Pitt a “crushing blow” by requiring Angelina Jolie to produce eight years’ worth of NDAs.

For the eight years that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been involved in a civil lawsuit concerning their Château, fine wine, and vineyard in France, all of the NDAs that Jolie has signed would be produced.

Jolie was ordered by a judge in Los Angeles Superior Court to turn over “all non-privileged documents in her possession, custody, or control that are responsive to” the request made by Pitt’s legal team.

This covers any nondisclosure agreements the “Maleficent” star has signed. Jolie has been given a month by the judge to follow the directive.

Pitt’s position, asserting that Jolie is under no obligation to divulge these agreements.

Pitt’s group refers to the decision as a “crushing blow.”

According to a source close to Pitt, Jolie has been dealt a “crushing blow” by the decision. Jolie had earlier argued that granting the request would be “expensive,” “wasteful,” “unreasonable,” and “abusive.”

Jolie’s solicitors had persisted in saying that the disclosure of the NDAs violates the privacy rights of other parties.

These documents most likely include pertinent contracts with various Hollywood entities, including brands, employers, and workers; it’s possible that some of the contracts include “contracts that include Jolie’s compensation or compensation she paid to third parties.”

Jolie’s team is now required to furnish Pitt’s solicitors with a list of the documents they believe to be privileged, so they can ‘evaluate the merits of Jolie’s assertions of privilege’.

The ‘Bullet Train’ star’s solicitors asked for information earlier this year regarding the quantity of NDAs that Jolie had her employees sign. This came after Jolie claimed that Pitt was trying to use a “overreaching” contract to control her.

In her filings, Jolie alleges that in order for her to sell Pitt her share of the winery, Pitt required her to sign an especially “onerous” and “expansive” nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that covered his “personal misconduct,” regardless of how it related to Miraval.

In the end, the agreement for Jolie to sell Pitt half of Château Miraval fell through.

In court filings, Jolie claims that the unfair terms of the NDA were to blame for the breakdown. Additionally, she sold her shares to a Stoli Group subsidiary.

But following the LA court’s decision, Jolie’s lawyer, Paul Murphy, presented it as a win for their client. Murphy stated, “Mr. Pitt’s desperate attempt to hide his personal wrongdoings is just not comparable to standard NDAs. We are delighted to hand them over, and we are pleased that the Court recognised that the only possible significance relates to Mr. Pitt’s actions being unconscionable, which is now a verified major issue in this case.

“We appreciate that Mr. Pitt and the other parties were transparent in their discovery responses. Angelina is eager for this legal battle to finally come to an end because of the false narratives that have hurt the family and prevented them from moving forward.
