Angelina Jolie drops 2-year-old FBI lawsuit over Brad Pitt abuse case

Angelina Jolie decided to put an end to the two year long legal battle with the FBI and dropped the lawsuit she filed over the investigation the bureau conducted into her abuse accusations against ex-husband Brad Pitt.

As per court documents obtained by Page Six, the Tomb Raider star filed a motion for the dismissal of the case with prejudice on Sept. 25, with both parties being liable to bear their own legal fees.

In 2016, the FBI began investigating an alleged physical altercation involving Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, along with their children, that took place on a private jet. This investigation was prompted by an anonymous tip to the bureau.

The inquiry concluded on November 22, 2016, with no charges filed against Pitt, who is now 60. Just days later, Jolie, 49, initiated divorce proceedings from him.

In April 2022, Jolie put up a lawsuit under a “Jane Doe” pseudonym. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act, the actress sought information “about the agency’s investigation of an incident of domestic violence that occurred several years ago involving plaintiff and her minor children as victims and witnesses.”
