Angelina Jolie Ends Legal Battle with FBI

In a significant turn of events, Angelina Jolie has officially ended her two-year legal confrontation with the FBI regarding allegations of abuse involving her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. The actress filed a motion to dismiss the case on September 25, signaling her intention to move on from the prolonged legal saga.

Court Documents Reveal Dismissal Details

Court documents reveal that both Jolie and Pitt will be responsible for their respective legal fees following the dismissal, which was filed with prejudice—meaning it cannot be refiled. This marks the conclusion of an investigation initiated by the FBI back in 2016 after an anonymous tip-off related to allegations of a physical altercation that reportedly occurred on a private jet with their children present.

FBI Inquiry Closed Without Charges

The FBI's inquiry into the matter was closed in late November 2016, with no charges filed against Pitt, shortly before Jolie's divorce filing from the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star. The incident, as described in legal documents, purportedly involved substantial verbal and physical confrontations, leading Jolie to file a suit under a pseudonym in April 2022. This suit aimed to obtain information about the investigation into what Jolie claimed was an incident of domestic violence with their young children as witnesses.

Motivation Behind Legal Strategies

Sources indicate that Jolie's legal strategy may have been motivated by an attempt to gather potentially damaging information about Pitt, likely influenced by ongoing custody disputes over their six children, a battle that remains unresolved. "Angelina is likely looking for any shred of evidence to use against Brad in their custody fight,” an insider commented. “This appears to be a desperate fishing expedition."

Allegations of Aggressive Behavior

The allegations in the countersuit paint a troubling picture, claiming Pitt engaged in aggressive behavior, including an incident where he allegedly choked one child and struck another. Witness accounts also suggest he poured alcohol on Jolie and the children during the flight.

Future Implications

While the legal battles may have ended for Jolie concerning the FBI, many experts speculate the implications for both Jolie and Pitt may linger, as their custody arrangements and personal lives continue to draw public scrutiny. As this chapter closes, observers wonder what lies ahead for the once-gilded couple and their six children amidst the ongoing aftermath of their high-profile divorce. Will they find a way to co-parent effectively, or will the past keep haunting them? Stay tuned for what comes next!
