During a heated argument on their private flight, Brad Pitt told Angelina Jolie that one of her children “looked like a f**king Columbine kid” and that she was “ruining the family,” according to a bombshell FBI investigation.
The Bullet Train actress, 58, allegedly battled with her son Maddox during the purportedly intoxicated outburst that escalated into a’verbal and physical fight’ amongst A-list stars, according to the leaked paper.
Meanwhile, the bureau’s findings, which have not been revealed in full, indicate that he made several threats against her and their six children on the 14th of September, 2016 while on the trip from France to LAX.
It was the same aircraft where Jolie purportedly incurred injuries from a physical altercation and provided a photo of her elbow to an agent in an attempt to verify this. Pitt disputes all charges made by his ex-wife.
Pitt’s claimed remark appeared to refer to the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, in which 12 students and a teacher were murdered by 12th graders Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
In April, Angelina Jolie, 47, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request under the alias ‘Jane Doe’ requesting the release of the FBI data.
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services decided in its inquiry report that Pitt, who earlier admitted to drinking problems, did not physically abuse any of his children. The FBI also exonerated Pitt of any wrongdoing.
On September 19, four days later, Jolie filed for divorce from The Moneyball actor. The former couple, who were married for eleven years, is now embroiled in a custody dispute over their children. Jolie stated that there was ‘stress’ between her and her ex-husband, adding that Pitt’s behavior aboard the private jet in 2016 made her feel ‘like a captive’ onboard, according to the FBI report seen by NBC.
She was allegedly seized by him before being shaken and pushed against a wall. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor then punched a hole in the plane’s ceiling.
After one of the ex-children couple’s called their father a “pr***” during the dispute, Jolie allegedly attempted to choke Pitt from behind because she believed he was about to harm one of the children.
Pitt behaved like a “monster” throughout the flight, according to Jolie, as he complained nonstop and screamed at the children.
The actress alleges that the entire family was’shell-shocked’ during the flight, and that she felt ‘stuck, terrified, and helpless’
In the FBI inquiry, Jolie estimated a total of $25,000 in damages, the most of which were caused by red wine stains.
The actress reportedly alleges that Pitt spilt beer on her, causing injuries to her back, elbow, and a ‘rug-burn-like wound’ on her hand.
Pitt, on the other hand, suffered only a “scratch” from the incident, which she said “may have been caused by her.”
Jolie had sole custody of all six children until May 2021. However, a California judge granted Pitt joint custody at that time, more over four and a half years after the procedures had begun.
However, in July, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John W. Ouderkirk was removed from the case due to questions over his impartiality, since he had failed to disclose all of his financial contacts with Pitt’s counsel.
This resulted in modifications to the custody agreement, which reverted to the parameters agreed upon in November 2018, where Jolie has sole custody and Pitt had “custodial time” with their children.
According to TMZ, sources close to the Moneyball star believe that Jolie only launched the case against the FBI to bring attention to the charges against Pitt, despite the fact that she has possessed the sought material for years.
According to a source, Pitt was exonerated because “not a scrap of proof” supported Angelina’s assertions.
Jolie and Pitt, whose 2016 marriage ended, are the parents of six children. In addition to Maddox, who is now 21, they have 14-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, as well as daughters Shiloh, 16, Zahara, 17, and son Pax, 18.
At the time of the filing, the plaintiff’s attorney, Amanda Kramer, told Politico that her client filed the suit anonymously to ‘preserve the family’s privacy.’ The filing alleges that the woman’s children have ‘experienced lasting physical and mental trauma’ after being’verbally and physically’ assaulted by her ex-husband while flying on a private plane.
It is also said that Jane Doe filed multiple requests for a copy of the department’s investigative file in order to ‘better understand the FBI’s investigation and collect the information essential for her children to undergo medical care and trauma counseling.’
In 2005, Brad and Angelina became a couple after he left his first wife Jennifer Aniston for her in a controversy that captivated the nation.
They waited over a decade before being married in 2014 at the Chateau Miraval in France, the location of the winery they are currently engaged in a legal struggle over.
It was reported earlier this week that Pitt tries to see his six children as often as possible despite how ‘difficult’ it has been with his ex-wife, Jolie.
Us Weekly was told by a source that in July, Pitt ‘flew to Italy for the twins’ birthday, which meant a great deal to them.’ This comes after he made a “great out” of Shiloh’s 16th birthday in May, according to the website.
Pitt had claimed of his daughter, “She’s incredibly intelligent,” previously. She will grow even further in college. It is an exciting and beautiful moment for her to discover her own path and pursue her passions.
Even though Jolie apparently still retains custody of the children, Pitt’strives to see them as frequently as possible wherever they are in the world,’ according to a source.
Brad treasures every time he spends with his children. Given how antagonistic his relationship with Angelina has been, he has attempted to make the best of a difficult position.
Pax and Maddox have reached adulthood since Pitt and Jolie began arguing over custody, and Zahara will join them in January.
Pitt stopped drinking after the dissolution of his marriage, and shortly thereafter he told GQ, “I can’t recall a day since I left college when I wasn’t drinking or doing pot, or whatever.”
Pitt told British GQ earlier this summer that as his marriage was falling apart, he had a reoccurring nightmare in which Jolie repeatedly stabbed him.
He told the magazine, “For four or five years, the most common dream I had involved being attacked and beaten.”
‘It would always be at night, in the dark, and I would be going down a sidewalk in a park or along a boardwalk when, as I passed beneath a street lamp reminiscent of The Exorcist, someone would leap from the abyss and stab me in the ribs.
‘Or I would detect that I was being followed, then another would flank me, and I would realize that I was cornered and that they intended me terrible damage. Or being chased through a house with a child I was attempting to help escape, only to being trapped on the deck and stabbed. Always thrust. And I would awaken with dread.
I did not comprehend why it or they would wish to harm me. This only ceased a couple of years ago when I reentered the dream and questioned why. Another Us Weekly source claimed he has privately ‘been moaning to friends’ about how long the legal battle has carried on and believes Angelia ‘would never agree to joint custody and will run out the clock until the children are 18’
He is rumored to feel that Angelina Jolie is planning for the children to ‘want nothing to do with’ him as an adult, but according to a source, ‘Brad will not give up the fight’
Even though they were legally single in 2019, their custody dispute has continued, and they are now fighting over the French winery they co-owned.
Jolie has recently refuted Pitt’s assertions that she sold her part in his French vineyard for malevolent purposes, after the actor accused her in court documents of attempting to destroy him.
She and Pitt jointly purchased the property in 2008 and have hosted parties at the winery throughout the years. The couple even exchanged vows at the chateau in the south of France.
Jolie sold her part of the successful Chateau Miraval winery to a firm owned by Yuri Shefler, the owner of the company that creates the trademark Russian vodka Stolichnaya – renamed Stoli – in October, following their divorce.
The company is a subsidiary of Stoli Group, therefore Shefler, who resides in the United Kingdom, “indirectly owns” it.
This year, Pitt then filed a lawsuit against the Maleficent star. In it, he accuses Jolie of attempting to harm him by surreptitiously selling her stock to a ‘Russian oligarch’ with ‘poisonous intents,’ including a plan to seize entire control of the multimillion-dollar corporation.
He asserted that the sale represented a “huge international liability” in light of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and that Jolie’s objective for selling the property was to “inflict harm on Pitt.”
Now, however, a source close to Jolie has rejected these claims, telling PEOPLE: ‘Mr. Pitt’s lawsuit is an extension of a false narrative, and the truth of the issue has never been made public.
‘After the circumstances that led to Ms. Jolie filing for divorce and the years she spent caring for their children, Ms. Jolie and the children were unable to return to the property, and she took the tough decision to sell her part in the business,’ a source said.
Allegedly, Jolie made multiple offers to her ex-husband, and, knowing that the business would be inherited by their children, she found a business partner with experience in the alcohol industry.
“It’s unfortunate that Mr. Pitt is entangling her in multiple lawsuits after she exited the business in a proper and legal manner,” the source said.
A source close to Pitt, however, stated that the argument was illogical, stating, “The best way for the family to retain value would have been for one of their parents to retain ownership of an increasingly valuable asset.”
The source noted, “There is much more value in a family owning 100 percent than 40 to 50 percent.”
Pitt reportedly dated model Nicolle Poturalski for a brief time despite his ongoing disputes with his ex-wife, suggesting that he is eager to move on.
In July, a source told People that the Bullet Train star has been dating a new woman but is not in a “serious” relationship.
The Hollywood icon who was formerly married to Friends vet Jennifer Aniston and engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow is dating, but is not in a serious relationship, according to an insider.
In addition to attracting attention with his casual dating, Pitt made headlines when he paid $40 million for the historic D. L. James home known as ‘Seaward,’ which overlooks the beautiful central coast of California.
Last month, the A-list actor purchased the 1918 mansion in the celebrity enclave of Carmel, in what is thought to be the most expensive residence ever sold in the area.
According to reports, locals are ecstatic to have another well-known celebrity in their midst, especially since the historic property has been vacant for years.
Pitt is allegedly a huge fan of Craftsman-style homes, which may explain why he purchased his latest bachelor pad in this architectural style.
The D.L. James House was designed in the 20th century by the architect Charles Sumner Greene.
He created the property on land held by the infamous author Daniel Lewis James, who penned “Famous All Over Town,” and named the Carmel highlands property after him.
Since 1999, it has been held by Searock, a limited liability company affiliated with the late Chicago financiers Joe Ritchie and Sharon Ritchie.
The luxurious residence, which is just meters from the beach, has a “wooden aesthetic” and is constructed of sandstone and granite quarried locally.
It has arched windows, bricks “selected individually” by Charles Greene, and a roof in the Mediterranean style.
The Gamble House, an organization devoted to the work of Greene and Green, the company founded by Mr. Greene and his brother Henry, asserts that the property is unlike the Pasadena residences of the siblings.
According to the organization’s website, as part of the design, Mr. Greene “built up the exterior walls so that they appear to be emerging from the cliffs.”
In 1997, photographer Alexander Vertikoff captured exclusive images of the property.
