Angelina Jolie Filed Anonymous Lawsuit Demanding to Know Why FBI Didn’t Arrest Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie has seemingly been identified as the “Jane
Doe” who sued the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act, questioning why an
investigation into her then-husband Brad Pitt was closed after allegations of
physical and verbal assault in 2016.
According to Puck News’ Eriq Gardner, Jolie is indeed the unnamed
plaintiff in the suit, which had long been speculated about, given the timeline
and the events described. The suit demanded that the bureau turn over documents
related to an investigation into Pitt, after Jolie alleged that he had
“physically and verbally assaulted” her and their children while traveling on a
private plane “several years ago.”
It was also reported that, in a recent update to the filing,
a statement of probable cause was drafted and given to the chief of the
Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, before the FBI
announced that Pitt would not be charged with assault.
Among the previously detailed allegations reported in the
statement by the agent was the accusation that Pitt was drinking and had taken
Jolie to the back of the plane, grabbed her shoulders and shook her while
yelling, “You’re f—ing up this family.”
“Later, during this same flight, another physical
altercation allegedly took place, and Jolie said she sustained injuries; she
gave the agent a photo of her elbow in an attempt to corroborate this,”
according to Puck. “At another point, Jolie says Pitt poured beer on her.”
Pitt has denied the allegations of physical abuse in the years
since, and no charges were ever filed. He and Jolie divorced shortly after the
alleged incident on the plane.
Representatives for Jolie and the FBI did not immediately
respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
