FBI documents tied to ‘Brangelina’s’ 2016 spat onboard private jet released
An FBI report tied to ‘Brangelina’s’ spat that led to the couple’s divorce in 2016 revealed that Brad Pitt hit his son Maddox and told his then-wife Angelina Jolie that she was ‘ruining the family’ onboard a private jet, adding that one of the children ‘looked like a f**king Columbine kid.’
The FBI documents, which have yet to be publicly released, were obtained by several news outlets on Tuesday. In the report, Jolie told authorities that Pitt was drunk and made multiple menaces to her and their six children while onboard a private flight from France to Los Angeles International Airport on September 14, 2016.
The ‘Maleficient’ actress, 47, requested the release of the FBI documents under the anonymous ‘Jane Doe,’ after submitting a Freedom of Information Act request in April.
In its final report on the investigation, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services concluded that Pitt, who has previously admitted to problems with alcohol, did not physically abuse any of his children. Pitt was also cleared by the FBI of any wrongdoing.
Four days later, on September 19, Jolie filed for divorce from The Inglorious Bastard actor. The former couple have since been embroiled in a custody battle over their children.
FBI documents in relation to Brangelina’s spat onboard a private jet in 2016 were released on Tuesday. Angelina Jolie claims her ex-husband Brad Pitt had been drunk and had ‘physically and verbally assaulted’ her as well as one of their children, Maddox, while flying to Los Angeles from France
Jolie had full custody until May 2021 when a California judge granted Pitt joint custody, over four and a half years after proceedings first started.
However, in July, Los Angeles superior court judge John W. Ouderkirk was taken off from the dispute due to concerns over his impartiality as he did not sufficiently disclose business relationships with Pitt’s lawyers.
This resulted to changes in the custody arrangement, reverting back to the previously agreed November 2018 terms, where Jolie has full custody while Pitt has ‘custodial time’ with their children.
