Angelina Jolie has officially withdrawn her Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI and the Department of Justice over the 2016 plane incident involving Brad Pitt.
Jolie’s claim detailed that during the flight, Pitt “allegedly physically and verbally assaulted” her and their children, leading to “lasting physical and mental trauma.”
The allegations mirror details from an FBI report that surfaced following the flight from Europe to Los Angeles on September 14, 2016.
According to court documents obtained, the dismissal was finalised with prejudice, indicating that the case cannot be refiled. The agreement stipulates that each party will bear its own legal fees and costs.
The lawsuit was initially filed in April 2022 under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), with Jolie identified in court as the anonymous “Jane Doe.”
The filing sought the release of documents related to an alleged domestic violence incident that occurred aboard a private jet.
The lawsuit aimed to obtain FBI documents related to an alleged altercation during the flight, where Pitt was accused of assaulting Jolie and their children.
The case has been dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled, and both parties will cover their legal costs. Federal authorities previously chose not to pursue charges against Pitt.
