Angelina Jolie allegedly got bruises following a violent altercation with her ex-husband Brad Pitt on their private flight in 2016.
The 47-year-old Oscar-winning actress submitted photographs of her hand and elbow bruises to the FBI as part of its probe into the couple’s’verbal and physical altercation’ aboard a private flight from France to Los Angeles International Airport on September 14, 2016. FBI investigation reveals that during this flight, Jolie alleges Pitt, 58, took her to the lavatory in the back of the plane, seized her shoulders, and shook her while screaming “f*****g up this family.” Pitt disputes all charges made by his ex-wife.
After one of the former couple’s children called their father a “pr***” while they waited outside the lavatory door, Jolie allegedly attempted to choke Pitt from behind in response to what she said appeared as though he was going to attack one of the children.
Jolie alleges that when Pitt had her in a chokehold, he flung his body back, forcing her to smash into chairs behind them, according to unreleased FBI records acquired by multiple news agencies.
The actress claims she had injuries to her back and elbow, in addition to a ‘rug-burn like cut’ on her hand.
Page Six adds that black-and-white photographs included in the FBI investigation depict bruises on Jolie’s hand and elbow.
Jolie was identified as the anonymous ‘Jane Doe’ who sued the FBI and demanded the release of papers following the conclusion of an investigation into Pitt earlier this month. The lawsuit seeks to compel the FBI to disclose material on the investigation into the altercation.
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services decided in its inquiry report that Pitt, who earlier acknowledged to drinking issues, 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 star. The former couple, who were married for over five years, are now engaged in a custody dispute over their children.
During the trip, Pitt allegedly remarked to Jolie that one of her children resembled a “Columbine baby.”
Pitt’s claimed remark appeared to relate to the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, in which 12 students and a teacher were murdered by 12th graders Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
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 viewed by NBC.
Pitt behaved like a “monster” during the flight, according to Jolie, as he complained nonstop and screamed at the children.
The actress alleges that the entire family was’shell-shocked’ throughout the trip, 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 cut’ on her hand.
Pitt, on the other hand, suffered merely a “scratch” from the event, which she said “may have been caused by her.”
Jolie had sole custody of all six children until May 2021. However, a California judge gave 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 owing 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 exclusive custody and Pitt had “custodial time” with their children.
According to TMZ, sources close to the Moneyball star think that Jolie merely launched the case against the FBI to attract 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.
Amanda Kramer, a prominent attorney representing the plaintiff, told Politico that her client filed the claim anonymously to ‘preserve the family’s privacy’ at the time of the filing.
The complaint claimed that the woman’s children suffered “permanent bodily and emotional damage” as a result of being “verbally and physically” abused by her ex-husband aboard a private jet.
It is also said that Jane Doe submitted many requests for a copy of the department’s investigative file in order to ‘better comprehend the FBI’s investigation and collect the information essential for her children to undergo medical care and trauma therapy.’
In 2005, Brad and Angelina started a relationship when 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 vineyard they are currently engaged in a legal struggle over.
It was reported earlier this week that Pitt tries to see his six children as much 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 has claimed of his daughter, “She’s incredibly intelligent,” previously. She will grow even further in college. It is an exciting and lovely 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 visit them as frequently as possible wherever they are in the globe,’ 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 most of a difficult position.
Pax and Maddox have reached maturity since Pitt and Jolie began arguing over custody, and Zahara will join them in January.
Pitt stopped drinking following 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 was being attacked and beaten.”
‘It would always be at night, in the dark, and I would be going along a walkway 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 understand that I was cornered and that they intended me terrible damage. Or being chased through a home with a child I was attempting to assist 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 few of years ago when I reentered the dream and questioned why.
Another Us Weekly source said he has privately ‘been moaning to friends’ about how long the court fight 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 battle’
Even though they were legally separated in 2019, their custody dispute has continued, and they are now battling 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 filings of attempting to ruin him.
She and Pitt jointly purchased the property in 2008 and have thrown parties at the winery throughout the years. The pair even exchanged vows at the Château 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 firm 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 billionaire’ with ‘poisonous intents,’ including a plot to seize entire control of the multimillion-dollar corporation.
He asserted that the transaction 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 accusations, telling PEOPLE: ‘Mr. Pitt’s lawsuit is a continuation 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 choice to sell her part in the business,’ a source said.
Allegedly, Jolie made repeated proposals to her ex-husband, and, knowing that the firm would be inherited by their children, she recruited a business partner with experience in the alcohol sector.
“It’s sad that Mr. Pitt is entangling her in many lawsuits after she quit the firm in a lawful and legal manner,” the source added.
A source close to Pitt, however, stated that the reasoning was illogical, stating, “The greatest way for the family to keep value would have been for one of their parents to retain ownership of an increasingly valuable asset.”
The insider said, “There is much more value in a family holding 100 percent than 40 to 50 percent.” Pitt apparently dated model Nicolle Poturalski for a brief time despite his continuous disagreements with his ex-wife, suggesting that he is eager to move on.
In July, a source informed People that the Bullet Train star has been dating a new woman but is not in a “serious” relationship.
The Hollywood celebrity 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 a source.
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 home has been vacant for years.
Pitt is allegedly a huge lover of Craftsman-style homes, which may explain why he acquired his latest bachelor pad in this architectural style.
The D.L. James House was created in the 20th century by the architect Charles Sumner Greene.
He created the home on land held by the famed novelist 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 corporation 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 mined locally.
It contains 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 outside walls so that they appear to be emerging from the cliffs.”
In 1997, photographer Alexander Vertikoff captured rare images of the property.
