Angelina Jolie Demands £27K From Brad Pitt in New Twist to Their Bitter Divorce Battle
Jolie's new filing shows that fame offers no escape from heartbreak as her bitter legal battle with Pitt continues to unfold

The divorce drama between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is not even close to over it seems. In a recent court filing, Jolie revealed she is demanding around $33,000 (roughly £27,000) from Pitt to cover legal costs tied to his motion demanding access to her private messages. What might appear as a relatively small sum in Hollywood terms is now another flashpoint in their ongoing disputes over property, memory, and control in an unfortunate relationship breakdown.
Angelina Jolie's Shocking Allegations About Brad Pitt
Jolie's declaration paints a deeply personal picture of the toll their split has taken. She writes that the events leading to her separation were 'emotionally difficult' for her and their children, prompting her to relinquish control of their Los Angeles homes and Château Miraval without compensation, hoping it might lower tensions. She also states that the memory rich French estate has become too painful for her and according to her, she and the children 'have never again set foot' there since the breakup. That Miraval home had a lot of big moments that happened in it as per Jolie who said,
'Miraval was one of the first major investments we made together, and it was a focal point of our family life,' she explained. 'We were married there, I spent part of my pregnancy there and I brought our twin children home there from the hospital. To have such a sudden break from my home and memories has been hard, and it was especially difficult for the children to have their lives so disrupted.'
But the alleged heartbreaking revelations don't stop there as Jolie explained that she declined projects for roughly two years to prioritize the children's well being, leaving her in financial straits as per reports. She further claims that her savings were tied up in Miraval, and she couldn't even buy a house outright. The most controversial claim came in after that as she said that Pitt offered a loan (with interest) to help her secure a home in Los Angeles. At the same time, Pitt's motion seeks access to private conversations that Jolie exchanged during their Miraval dispute, this is something her team reportedly sees as overreach and a violation of privilege.
Therefore, because Pitt allegedly refused repeated requests to withdraw his motion, Jolie is now asking the court to require him to reimburse her for the 'substantial attorneys' fees' she incurred in this process.
Brangelina's Dispute Is Far From Over
Despite the glamour, red carpets, and multimillion-dollar homes, the Jolie & Pitt saga is a cruel reminder that celebrity life is often far from perfect. Behind the designer wardrobes and global fame lies the same pain, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion that ordinary people face when relationships break down and is probably only magnified under relentless public scrutiny as this dispute is facing right now. Every court filing, every statement, and every rumor becomes headline material, stripping away the privacy most people take for granted.
In Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's case, what was once celebrated as one of Hollywood's most beautiful love stories has evolved into a deeply human story of regret, resentment, and resilience. Now a word of caution is necessary as Brad Pitt's version of this new revelation and demand by Jolie is not revealed yet as of this writing. The alleged bitterness that seeps through their legal documents shows that fame cannot insulate anyone from heartbreak or conflict.
