Dramatic new details about the mid-air meltdown that ended Brad Pitt’s marriage to Angelina Jolie \u2013 but did not lead to criminal charges \u2013 are coming to light in newly surfaced FBI investigative records obtained Tuesday by Rolling Stone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The records include an interview summary in which Jolie purportedly told FBI officials that Pitt yelled at her, \u201cgrabbed her by her head,\u201d shook her, \u201cpushed her into the bathroom wall\u201d and repeatedly punched the ceiling of the plane during an initial outburst About 90 minutes into the private jet flight that departed France and made a pitstop in Minnesota before eventually landing in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, 2016.<\/p>\n

Jolie said Pitt’s actions frightened the couple’s six children, who ranged in age from 8 to 15 at the time. When one of the kids allegedly called Pitt a \u201cprick,\u201d he bolted at the minor \u201clike he was going to attack,\u201d the paperwork states. At that point, Jolie \u201cjumped up\u201d and grabbed Pitt round his neck with her arms, \u201clike in a choke hold,\u201d according to the report summarizing Jolie’s version of events. Pitt purportedly threw himself back, pushing Jolie into the seats behind them, causing injury to her back and elbow, she told investigators.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the highly redacted paperwork, Pitt allegedly consumed multiple alcoholic beverages during the flight and at one point \u201cpoured beer on (Jolie) and the blanket she was under.\u201d When the plane landed, it also had $25,000 worth of damage from spilled red wine, Jolie claimed.<\/p>\n

Jolie said Pitt’s alleged behavior \u201cdidn’t feel real\u201d and left her feeling \u201cscared\u201d and \u201clike a hostage.\u201d She claimed Pitt pushed her again when she suggested taking the couple’s children to a hotel to get some much-needed sleep after landing. \u201cYou’re not taking my fucking kids,\u201d Pitt allegedly yelled in response.<\/p>\n

Jolie detailed her injuries to FBI investigators, including a \u201crug-burn type wound on her right hand.\u201d When asked about a \u201cscratch\u201d on Pitt, she replied that it could have been from her, the paperwork states.<\/p>\n

The fact that both parties had apparent injuries likely complicated the charging decision for investigators. The files obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em> also said that Jolie \u201cwas personally conflicted on whether or not to be supportive of charges.\u201d At least, that’s what her lawyer expressed in a call with investigators in December 2016, weeks after prosecutors made their initial decision to decline charges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter reviewing the document, representative(s) of the United States Attorney’s Office discussed the merits of this investigation with the case agent. It was agreed by all parties that criminal charges in this case would not be pursued due to several factors,\u201d the FBI case agent wrote in a report memorializing a Nov. 22, 2016, meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation, \u201dLaura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles, said in Nov. 22, 2016 statement. \u201cNo charges have been filed in this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jolie, 47, filed for divorce within days of the jet confrontation. She and Pitt, 58, were later declared legally single, but their custody arrangement remains in dispute.<\/p>\n

The FBI files obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em> were the results of a FOIA request linked to Jolie’s ongoing pursuit of more documentation in the case. That effort led the maleficent<\/em> star to sue the Justice Department as a Jane Doe plaintiff in March. Politico first speculated that Jolie was the anonymous plaintiff behind the suit, and puck<\/em> confirmed the hunch Tuesday. Jolie is seeking a more thorough search of government records for non-exempt files related to the 2016 probe.<\/p>\n

Reps for Jolie and Pitt did not respond to requests for comment from Rolling Stone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A source close to Pitt previously told this reporter that the actor engaged in a verbal argument with his oldest son Maddox during the jet ride. \u201cHe certainly could have behaved better, but there was no physical abuse (of the teen),\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
