Jolie rejected her ex-husband’s request for financial records as it relates to Château Miraval, accusing him of misrepresenting claims she made about the winery, according to People Magazine.
The “Salt” actress asked the Los Angeles Superior Court last month to rule she isn’t required to hand over tax returns and additional financial records dating back to 2017.Prince William drops in on Travis Kelce’s show ahead of Taylor Swift wedding
In documents obtained by People, on June 18, Pitt’s legal team asked Jolie “produce documents sufficient to show her income and profit participation payments” from 2017 to 2019.
“Jolie has made her alleged financial vulnerability central to her case,” according to the “F1” actor’s filing.
Jolie’s lawyers accuse Pitt of falsely portraying her as financially struggling, when her filings show she simply wanted to separate their finances.

“The issue is not whether Jolie needed the money — the issue is that she was trying to untangle her life and her finances from her controlling and abusive ex-husband,” the filing reads, per People. “That distinction makes all the difference.”
The “Se7en” actor claims Jolie made the case about her financial situation when she wanted “financial independence” and needed to sell her stake in the French winery.

It was revealed the “Ocean Eleven” actor previously sued Jolie for $35 million in damages related to Château Miraval.
