Two years after filing the case, Angelina Jolie has dropped her lawsuit against the FBI over its probe into an alleged abuse incident she said erupted between her and her now ex-husband Brad Pitt on a private jet.
Angelina Jolie has dropped her lawsuit against the FBI over its probe into an alleged abuse incident she said erupted between her and her now ex-husband Brad Pitt on a private jet.
The ‘Maleficent’ actress, 49, filed the suit under the pseudonym of ‘Jane Doe’ in April 2022, in which she cited the Freedom of Information Act to seek information held about the bureau’s investigation into “an incident of domestic violence” she said “occurred several years ago involving plaintiff and her minor children as victims and witnesses”.
Page Six has now reported she filed a motion on 25 September to dismiss the case, with both parties liable for paying their legal fees over the filing.
The FBI launched an investigation into 60-year-old ‘Fight Club’ actor Brad’s alleged physical altercation involving Angelina and their children aboard a private jet in 2016.
They kicked off the probe after an anonymous call was placed to the bureau.
Its investigation closed on 22 November, 2016, with no charges being brought against Brad.
Mother-of-six Angelina filed for divorce from the star days later.
She had alleged Brad “choked” one of their kids and “struck another in the face” while the family was traveling from France to California on a private plane.
The actress also insisted the actor grabbed her “by the head” and “shook” her.
Her documents claimed: “At one point, he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.”
Brad has strongly denied any claims of physical abuse and branded Angelina’s claims against him “completely untrue”.
The pair are still locked in a bitter custody battle over the six kids they share, and a long-running and labyrinthine legal fight over Angelina’s sale of her chunk of the winery they used to co-own in France.
