Angelina Jolie's lawyer claimed Brad Pitt is intimidating the actress over obtaining her financial documents pertaining to their French winery Château Miraval.

According to Angelina Jolie's lawyer, Brad Pitt is 'harassing' the actress for her financial records relating to their French winery.
Jolie and Pitt — who married in 2014 and split in 2016 — have been locked in a contentious legal battle over the winery for years.
A judge denied Pitt's request for the docs in a court ruling on Tuesday, October 8, and also stated the Fight Club alum hasn’t given a good reason to override Jolie's privacy concerns.
The Girl, Interrupted star reportedly isn’t planning to discuss her income from 2017 to 2019.
Angelina Jolie's Attorney Blasted Brad Pitt
'Mr. Pitt's unyielding demand for harassing information is just the latest manifestation of his attempts to control her,' Angelina Jolie's attorney said.
However, Pitt will be able to refile his request to score the financial records if Jolie's deposition mentions her earnings from those years.
Jolie's attorney, Paul Murphy, told TMZ on Wednesday, October 7, Pitt doesn't need to attack his ex-wife's privacy to vindicate himself in the case.
"Mr. Pitt's unyielding demand for harassing information is just the latest manifestation of his attempts to control her and the narratives in this case," Murphy slammed to the outlet.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been embroiled in a bitter legal battle over their Château Miraval for years.
"What Angelina wants and has always wanted is to untangle her personal and financial life from her ex-husband," the lawyer continued.
"Rather than do the right thing and buy her out at an agreed price, Mr. Pitt at the last minute tried to use her exit from Miraval as leverage to force her [to] sign an NDA to cover up his abuse of her and their children," he claimed.
"That is what this case is about, not her personal income from five years before she sold her interest," Murphy continued.
