Angelina Jolie is the plaintiff in an anonymous complaint filed against the US Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2016 after the organisation closed an investigation into alleged domestic assault by Brad Pitt, a new report has claimed.
Pitt’s team has denied all allegations of wrongdoing related to the alleged incident.The anonymous lawsuit against the FBI came after Jolie filed a report in 2016 with an FBI agent that alleged she was “physically and verbally assaulted” by her then-husband, Pitt.The alleged incident onboard an aeroplane travelling from Europe to the US on September 14, 2016, reportedly also involved one of the pair’s children.
The couple’s then-15-year-old son, Maddix, allegedly became involved in the altercation. Pitt was alleged to have become physical with Maddix, as the latter attempted to diffuse the situation between his parents.The FBI launched an investigation into the situation, but concluded – after finding no proof of malcontent on Pitt’s behalf – that they would not be conducting any further investigation. “In response to allegations made… the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation,” their statement read. “No charges have been filed in this matter.”Pitt was also the subject of a “child abuse investigation” in relation to Maddix’s purported involvement in the alleged plane incident.
