Actor Angelina Jolie has been identified as the plaintiff in an anonymous 2016 lawsuit where she had alleged being assaulted on a private plane by her then-husband, Brad Pitt. The couple filed for divorce in 2016 and had six children together.
According to a report by Puck, the Hollywood actress told an FBI agent that Pitt had “physically and verbally assaulted” her and her children on the plane.
The Fight Club actor reportedly took the Maleficent actress to the back of the plane, grabbed her shoulders and shouted, “You’re f***ing this family.”
Angelina had alleged that another physical altercation occurred on that same flight. It caused her to sustain injuries, including on her elbow. Angelina also said that Brad had poured beer on her as he had been drinking at the time. However, Brad’s team has denied all allegations, as per reports.
Pitt was under investigation for alleged child abuse after an incident happened on his family’s private plane. The actor reportedly had a physical relationship with his son, Maddox, when the then 15-year-old intervened in a fight between his parents.
Pitt’s team denied hurt to their son, issuing the following statement to PEOPLE: “He is emphatically that it did not reach the level of physical abuse, that no one was physically harmed. Didn’t hit the face in any way. He didn’t; he insists on it. He put his hand on him, yes, because the confrontation was getting out of control.”
After a special agent met with the assistant US attorney and concluded that they would not pursue criminal charges, Angelina, in order to obtain documents related to the federal investigation against Brad, anonymously filed a Freedom of Information Act suit against the FBI reported Variety.
The Hollywood couple split after this incident and Brad quit drinking in public. According to Variety, no charges have been leveled against him.
