Angelina Jolie drops FBI lawsuit over alleged Brad Pitt plane incident, reports say;
Angelina Jolie is reportedly dropping her lawsuit against the FBI over documents related to her fight with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
Pitt was allegedly violent toward his ex-wife and children during the flight. The “12 Years a Slave” star has denied the incident.
The FBI, with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, launched an investigation into Pitt and the in-flight incident.
The bureau closed its investigation later that year, and no charges were brought against Pitt. He was also cleared of child abuse allegations by LA’s DCFS.
Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, share six children — Maddox, 23; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, who were between 8 and 15 years old at the time of the alleged incident.
In July, Pitt sought to dismiss Jolie’s request for his private communications regarding the family plane ride, calling the demand a “serious intrusion that went beyond the details of their family trip.

Jolie’s lawyers accused Pitt of grabbing Jolie by the head and shaking her, and then grabbing her shoulders and shaking her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall.
The actress’s legal executive also accused Pitt of uncompromising efforts to control and financially drain her.
Pitt’s lawyer said in a statement that he would continue to respond in court to allegations from Jolie, saying the actor has taken responsibility for his actual actions. He claimed all the allegations false though.
“Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one — unlike the other side — but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do,” Pitt’s lawyer, Anne Kiley, said in a statement to The Associated Press. “He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation.”
