Angelina Jolie is determined to handle her legal disputes with Brad Pitt with dignity, despite persistent rumors about a memoir. Reports recently suggested the Oscar-winning actress, 50, was preparing to write a tell-all book about her divorce from Pitt, 61.
However, a source told People magazine on August 19 that “there’s no truth to this.” The insider was clear about Jolie’s intentions. “There is no way she would do this,” the source said, adding that she has not authorized any memoir tied to her personal life.
The speculation comes as Angelina Jolie and Pitt remain locked in a lengthy legal battle. The former couple, who share six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, separated in 2016 after 12 years together. Their divorce was finalized in December 2024, but disagreements over their French winery, Château Miraval, have kept them in court.
In late June, Brad Pitt filed new court documents seeking private communications from Jolie, as well as testimony from a Stoli Group executive connected to her 2021 sale of her stake in the winery. The filing was the latest development in a case that has stretched over years.
Pitt previously sued Jolie in 2022, accusing her of violating an agreement not to sell her interest in the property without his approval. Jolie later countersued, alleging that Pitt has been “waging a vindictive war against” her since their split.
The dispute over Château Miraval has added another layer of tension to their already complex divorce proceedings. Both stars have remained publicly reserved, though filings on both sides have revealed glimpses of their ongoing conflict.
For Jolie, the rumors about a potential memoir risked fueling speculation about her private life. The source emphasized that she has chosen not to use her personal struggles for such a project, instead focusing on managing the legal matters directly.
Pitt, meanwhile, continues to pursue his claims regarding the sale of Jolie’s share, with his team arguing that she acted improperly in moving forward with the deal. Jolie’s countersuit has painted a picture of ongoing hostility, one that appears unlikely to fade soon.
While their divorce may be finalized, the legal battles surrounding assets like Château Miraval suggest that Jolie and Pitt’s disputes will not be resolved quickly. For now, Jolie is seeking to maintain composure as she continues to navigate the fallout from one of Hollywood’s most closely watched breakups.
