After much speculation, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been revealed as the subjects of a previously anonymous FBI argument, in which an unnamed plaintiff claimed to have been assaulted by her \u201cthen-husband\u201d in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

If you’ve been following Jolie and Pitt’s contentious legal battle, you’ll be aware that the reason for their sudden divorce in September 2016 is widely believed to have been an alleged incident on a private jet involving the couple and their six children.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

It has long been purported that Jolie’s decision to file for divorce came shortly after a complaint made to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services that included accusations of child abuse against Pitt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The were related to a Sept. 14 plane journey from Europe to the US, during which Pitt was accused of becoming embroiled in a physical and verbal altercation with the eldest of the couple’s children, Maddox, who was 15 years old at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Exact details of the alleged incident have remained under wraps, though it’s been widely reported that Jolie filed for divorce \u2014 requesting sole physical custody of the children \u2014 just five days after the flight in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Pitt \u2014 who vehemently denied all admitting \u2014 publicly gave up drinking soon after his divorce from Jolie, during a May 2017 interview with GQ that his relationship with alcohol had \u201cbecome a problem\u201d around the time of the split.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

And as Jolie and Pitt’s ongoing legal battle has played out publicly in the years since, the alleged incident became a topic of discussion once again after it was speculated that Jolie was attempting to litigate the FBI’s decision not to pursue charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

In April, Entertainment Tonight obtained legal documents through the Freedom of Information Act that indicated that a woman identified only as Jane Doe was attempting to obtain paperwork relating to the FBI’s \u201cinvestigation of an incident of domestic violence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the legal filings, Doe \u2014 who noted that she had \u201cpublic status\u201d and wanted to remain anonymous \u2014 recounted a sequence of events closely mirroring previous descriptions of the alleged airplane altercation supposedly involving Pitt and Maddox.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\u201cSeveral years ago, while plaintiff, her then-husband, and their children, who were all minors at the time, were traveling via private aircraft, the husband allegedly physically and verbally assaulted and the children,\u201d the documents read.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Doe goes on to explain that the FBI previously launched an inquiry but \u201cpublicly announced it was closing its investigation.\u201d In turn, she states that the argument is part of an effort to \u201cbetter understand the FBI’s investigation and obtaining information necessary for her children to receive medical care and counseling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, after months of speculation, a brand-new report from Puck has uncovered that it was in fact Jolie who filed the complaint, shedding new light on the alleged incident in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

According to Puck’s Eriq Gardner, the heavily redacted report includes never-before-heard claims from Jolie alleging that Pitt physically assaulted her while he was under the influence of alcohol during the Sept. 14 flights.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The complaint, also obtained by Rolling Stone and Page Six, includes an interview summary in which Jolie reportedly told an FBI agent that Pitt took her to the back of the plane, \u201cgrabbed her by her head,\u201d shook her, and \u201cpushed her into the bathroom wall,\u201d while shouting: \u201cYou’re fucking up this family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Rolling Stone reported that this altercation between Jolie and Pitt \u2014 believed to have been centered on one of the children \u2014 took place 90 minutes into the flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pitt allegedly punched the ceiling of the aircraft multiple times before returning to the area where their children were seated. The kids reportedly began asking Pitt if Jolie was OK, prompting him to reply: \u201cNo, she she’s not OK, she she’s ruining this family, she she’s crazy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

At this point, it’s alleged that one of the children \u2014 whose name was redacted from the report \u2014 called their father a \u201cprick,\u201d declaring that it was him who was damaging their family, not Jolie.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Pitt then allegedly ran toward the child \u201clike he was going to attack\u201d before being stopped by Jolie, who grabbed him from behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

In doing this, Jolie said that she sustained injuries to her back and elbow. The report also claims that she provided photographic evidence of these alleged injuries, as well as journal entries from the children.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n

Elsewhere during the flight, Jolie told investigators that Pitt poured beer on her \u201cand the blanket she was under\u201d while she was trying to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

When the flight landed in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, Pitt allegedly pushed Jolie again after she suggested that she take the children to a hotel to get some sleep. \u201cYou’re not taking my fucking kids,\u201d Pitt allegedly yelled in response.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Recounting her version of events, Jolie reportedly told investigators that she was \u201cscared\u201d and felt \u201clike a hostage,\u201d adding that Pitt’s alleged behavior \u201cdidn’t feel real.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

A call between Jolie’s lawyer and investigators that was documented in the filings also indicated that Jolie \u201cwas personally conflicted on whether or not to be supportive of charges\u201d after it was announced in November 2016 that Pitt would not be charged.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite the FBI’s decision not to press charges against the actor, Puck’s report said that \u201cthe agent investigating the Sept. 2016 incident prepared a statement of probable cause and presented it to the chief of the Criminal Division of the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Now, it seems Jolie is eager to better understand the reasoning behind the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

In September 2021 \u2014 almost exactly five years after her divorce from Pitt \u2014 Jolie alluded to the alleged airplane incident for the first time during an interview with the Guardian, in which she spoke of an \u201cexperience in the States\u201d that she felt compromised the rights of herself and her children.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jolie said at the time she was \u201csworn to silence\u201d on the matter, but seemingly admitted that she had been scared for the safety of her family during her marriage to Pitt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cI’m not the kind of person who makes decisions like the decisions I had to make lightly. It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
