LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The ongoing legal conflict between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has taken another turn.

In the latest filing, Pitt's legal team has opposed Jolie's request for third-party communications related to their notorious 2016 private jet flight. Jolie, 49, claims that Pitt, 60, became physical during the incident, as reported by OK Magazine.

Court documents indicate that Pitt considers Jolie’s request to be "wide-ranging and intrusive." This disagreement is part of their ongoing lawsuit concerning Jolie's sale of her stake in their French winery, Chateau Miraval.

Pitt’s legal team argued that Jolie’s 54 requests for documents are irrelevant to the current case, instead relating to their divorce and the 2016 plane incident.

The 'Fight Club' star’s lawyer stated, “To prevent unnecessary motions and another public filing filled with personal attacks, Pitt voluntarily offered to provide documents that detail everything that happened on the flight leading to the ex-couple’s divorce.”

The legal documents also assert that Jolie’s demands exceed the scope of the current case. They include requests for communications with Pitt's trusted advisors regarding sensitive matters such as therapy, drug and alcohol testing, and his efforts to improve himself following the incident.

Pitt’s lawyer emphasized, “These private, third-party communications are far removed from the issues and allegations in this case, and in many cases, they have nothing but the most tenuous relationship to ‘what happened on that plane.’”

Jolie’s request includes communications with Pitt’s closest friends, business partners, and even the FBI regarding the 2016 flight investigation. Pitt’s team argues that these requests are part of an attempt to re-litigate their divorce case within the framework of the current business dispute over the winery.

Pitt, who has strained relationships with the six children he shares with Jolie, has requested the court to dismiss Jolie’s filing. The judge has yet to rule on this matter.

This legal dispute comes in the wake of Pitt's lawsuit against Jolie for selling her stake in Chateau Miraval without his consent. Pitt asserts that they had agreed to pass down the business to their children, introducing further complexity to their ongoing legal battles.

Brad Pitt's recent legal move to oppose Angelina Jolie's demand for third-party communications regarding their 2016 private jet flight has sparked a heated online discussion.

One user expressed frustration with Jolie's persistence, commenting, "She wants revenge bad to drag this out." Another wrote, stating, "She’s a scorned woman. Most dangerous woman to deal with."

The protracted nature of the legal battle also drew criticism, with a user asking, "Can’t she just move on? What’s this, 8 years of legal battles?" Another suggested Pitt should distance himself from the situation, "At this point move on Brad, she has poisoned their minds against you. Maybe someday they will search you out."

Support for Pitt was evident, with one commenter urging him to stand firm, "Don’t give her anything. She’s an abomination to women."
