Angelina Jolie complained about the stress of her yearslong legal battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt over their French winery Château Miraval in newly-released excerpts from emails in the ongoing case.
The 50-year-old Maleficent star, in emails with her business manager dated May 2021, emphasized that she was dealing with a lot of anxiety in her personal and professional life.
‘I need to remove all stress,’ the Oscar-winning actress said, according to legal docs reviewed by USA Today Wednesday.
Jolie said that her health was compromised from the unending stress, saying, ‘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.’
Pitt is suing Jolie for $35 million in the case, People reported, adding that the actor’s attorneys provided in legal documents emails to Jolie’s lawyers regarding the 2021 sale of her stake of the winery, referring to monetary damages pled in the case.
Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Jolie and Pitt for further comment on the story.

The revelations were made as part of a 286-page October 29 filing to Los Angeles Superior Court that Pitt’s legal team made trying to get copies of Jolie’s emails regarding the 2021 winery sale, USA Today reported.
Jolie also appeared to insinuate that her brother James Haven Voight, 52, was ungrateful for the monetary contributions she made to him.
She made reference to her elder sibling – who she famously kissed at the Academy Awards in 2000 – in the emails uncovered in the ongoing case over the winery with the Academy Award-winning actor.
‘Financial situations like Jamie where I just give and give and don’t even get a thank you … is just wrong,’ Jolie said.
She added, ‘It’s not for me to have to worry that I am always responsible every year no matter what.
‘And he doesn’t need to save because he isn’t advised and always gets funds.’
Parts of the communication between the A-list actress and her business manager were redacted due to attorney-client privilege, according to the newspaper.
Some of the legal filings from Pitt’s team consist of redacted and unredacted communications from the actress to her legal team going back to 2008, which Jolie had to submit to the court as part of the ongoing legal proceedings.
Pitt’s legal team said in an October 27 letter to the court that Jolie’s legal team had been keeping back communications with people that were allegedly not lawyers, according to the newspaper.

Paul Murphy, an attorney for Jolie, issued a statement to USA Today Tuesday in response to the Pitt filling.
‘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,’ Murphy said.
He added: ‘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.’
Jolie and the Moneyball actor are parents to six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17.
They split up in 2016 following a 12-year relationship and two-year marriage, with their divorce finalized eight years later in December 2024 amid a number of legal battles.
