Angelina Jolie behind anonymous lawsuit alleging assault by Brad Pitt

Washington: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has been identified as the plaintiff in an anonymous 2016 lawsuit where she had alleged being assaulted on a private plane by her “then-husband”, Brad Pitt.
According to Variety , a report from Puck states that several years ago Angelina Jolie told an FBI agent that Brad Pitt “physically and verbally assaulted” her and their children when they were aboard the plane.
The FBI agent’s notes reveal that at the time, Brad Pitt allegedly took Angelina Jolie to the back of the plane, grabbed her shoulders and shouted things like, “You’re fucking up this family.” The ‘Eternals’ actor alleged that another physical altercation occurred on that same flight. It caused her to sustain injuries, including on her elbow. Angelina Jolie also said that Brad Pitt had poured beer on her as he had been drinking at the time. However, Pitt’s team has denied all allegations.
After the special agent met with the assistant US attorney and concluded that they would not pursue criminal charges, Angelina Jolie, in order to obtain documents related to the federal investigation against Brad Pitt, anonymously filed a Freedom of Information Act suit against the FBI, reported Variety.
Previously, Brad Pitt was reportedly under investigation in 2016 for child abuse by both the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services after an incident occurred on his family’s private plane. Allegedly, he got physical with his son, Maddox, after the then-15-year-old intervened in a fight between Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
