Angelina Jolie To End Her Legal Battle Over Alleged Physical Assault With Brad Pitt? Details Here

Angelina Jolie is seemingly closer to putting her battles with her ex-husband Brad Pitt to an end, suggesting that it finally might be time to move on. According to In Touch Weekly, the 49-year-old will drop her ongoing federal case against the Department of Justice, which was linked to an alleged domestic violence incident in 2016 with Pitt. The documents related to the case, which was filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe, were submitted to the court on Wednesday, September 25, marking the end of her two-year saga with the FBI.

In a filing, obtained by the publication, the documents read, “The parties to this action hereby stipulate to dismiss this action with prejudice, with each party to bear its own fees and costs.”

The case was originally filed in 2022 on the lines of a Freedom of Information Act request that Angelina placed with the FBI in 2021. The request was in connection to the records related to the FBI’s investigation into the actions of her ex-husband. It was particularly related to the infamous incident aboard a private plane in September 2016, when Brad allegedly abused Angelina. The actress had detailed the incident, claiming that Brad Pitt abused her both physically and mentally. She even claimed that he grabbed her by the head, choked one of his children and hit another.

“While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him,” the Maleficent star’s lawyers alleged in the court document, as quoted by Entertainment Weekly. At that time, sources close to Brad Pitt refuted the claims and told TMZ, “She is trying to run Brad Pitt’s name through the mud all over again.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie met on the sets of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2005 and started dating soon after. After being together for long, they got married in 2014, only to file for divorce in 2016. They are parents to six children including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Viviene and Knox.
