Angelina Jolie withdraws FBI lawsuit over Brad Pitt's claims
Did she give up, or did she simply decide to move on? Angelina Jolie has withdrawn the lawsuit against the FBI concerning the allegations of violence against Brad Pitt.
Let's revisit a few years ago. In 2022, it emerged that Angelina Jolie had sued the FBI and the Department of Justice because they closed the investigation into Brad Pitt's alleged violence, which she had reported. This related to incidents purportedly occurring on their private plane just before their divorce in 2016.
Jolie vs. Pitt: What happened on the plane?
The entire family, the actor couple and their numerous children were flying to France from the USA. Supposedly, Brad Pitt argued with his son Maddox before boarding, then got drunk and started a quarrel. Although Pitt has denied any violence took place, social services became involved when the family landed at the airport. Subsequently, the FBI took over the case and ultimately dismissed it.
The actress subsequently filed a lawsuit under the pseudonym "Jane Doe," commonly used by crime victims in the United States. The lawsuit explained that Ms Doe had been attempting for years to obtain hidden information to ensure her children received the appropriate care and counselling for the harm they endured. The Department of Justice and FBI had been withholding evidence related to this harm, and their ongoing refusal to release this information had obstructed Ms Doe’s efforts to secure proper care for her children, causing further harm according to family law. The lawsuit, filed by Jolie, was eventually leaked to the media.
Angelina Jolie steps back
Now, the InTouch service reports that the actress has withdrawn her lawsuit. A source from the website revealed that the lawsuit was another way to ruin Brad's reputation, but it seems she has finally given up.
Angelina Jolie is currently promoting her latest film, "Maria". Brad Pitt recently starred in "Wolves" (Apple TV+) with George Clooney.
