Angelina Jolie drops legal action against the FBI over allegations that Brad Pitt abused her on a private jet

Angelina Jolie has dropped her two-year legal battle against the Justice Department and the FBI over documents related to abuse allegations she made against her ex Brad Pitt.

Jolie, 49, had filed an anonymous lawsuit as “Jane Doe” with the FBI, which was investigating an alleged altercation between the duo on a private jet in 2016.

She had requested documents from the FBI about the investigation into the allegations and filed a Freedom of Information Act request in 2021.

Pitt, 60, has been accused of pouring red wine and beer on his ex and one of the couple's children on a private plane – allegations he denies.

The allegations were investigated by the FBI, but no charges were filed.

Court documents obtained by In Touch show that Jane Doe dropped her lawsuit and informed the court of her decision on September 25th.

Both parties will bear their own legal fees.

The FBI and the LA County Department of Children and Family Services had launched an investigation into the alleged incident.

But in November 2016, an FBI spokesman said no charges would be filed against Pitt.

Details of the alleged incident first came to light in August 2022 when a Freedom of Information Court lawsuit was made public.

However, according to court documents, “Jane Doe” dropped the case and notified the court of her decision on September 25th

Documents show Pitt allegedly choked one of her children and punched another in the face. Jolie also accused the Fight Club star of grabbing her head.

The couple began a romance after appearing in the 2005 film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

They married in August 2014 at their home in rural France, but their legal marriage only lasted 25 months.

While their marriage was failing, Pitt and Jolie also engaged in a bitter custody battle over their six children, four of whom are now adults.

They welcomed three biological children – Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 – and also adopted Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.

There is now also a dispute over the couple's French vineyard, Chateau Miraval. Jolie sold her 50 percent stake in the Provence winery in 2023 – a move that Pitt said was illegal.

Earlier this year, the Oscar winner claimed that Pitt tried to get her to sign an $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement to “enforce her silence” about her abuse allegations against him.

Her legal team insisted that when she sold her half of Chateau Miraval, she “did not act in bad faith and with no intent to harm Pitt in response to a custody decision.”

The documents state: “Instead, it was Pitt who refused to purchase their shares unless he received his newly expanded nondisclosure agreement, enforceable by an $8.5 million withholding hold and specifically aimed at forcing them to remain silent about his abuse and cover-up.”

Her lawyers added: “While Pitt advances what is essentially an outdated domestic violence privacy argument to shield his abuse, his argument is not the law, at least not in this century, and he cites no authority to make it so.” would.” unjustified protective measures. In any case, he waived all privacy rights when he sued Jolie.'

Jolie's team has previously argued that Pitt should be forced to release his personal communications as part of the winery investigation.

Pitt has defended himself against the “far-reaching” and “intrusive” request, with his lawyers claiming that after the plane ride Jolie wanted access to information “on such sensitive topics as the therapy he underwent voluntarily.”

However, he claimed he was prepared to hand over “sufficient documents proving everything that happened on the flight.”
