Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt broke up some years ago, but their fights and defamation of each other continue. This time it was about a major fight that an ex-couple had gotten into during their time together.
Angelina Jolie is trying to “smear” her ex-husband amid their ongoing custody battle
The FBI is not expected to reopen the investigation into the 2016 conflict between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on a private plane despite an FBI report on the case surfacing this week, according to a report.
The claim was made by a close friend of Brad Pitt who spoke to the news source and alleged that Jolie was trying to "smear" her ex-husband amid their ongoing custody battle." There is nothing new here. The statute of limitations is way gone, and they have seen all the information.
At the time, they considered all of Angelina's allegations and didn't bring any charges," the source told. "The FBI investigated the incident thoroughly, and there is zero chance of them reopening the case. This is all a concerted effort to smear Brad."

Pitt's unidentified friend pointed out that although Angelina recounted the same details from the FBI report in her ongoing custody case against Pitt, a judge still gave the actor 50/50 custody of their kids.
"Angelina's claims were raised in at least two different legal contexts: the incident on the plane and then again during a lengthy custody trial. In one case, there were no charges brought and in another, Brad was granted 50/50 custody," the friend told the source.
The anonymous lawsuit against the FBI involving Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie, 47, was identified as the plaintiff this week in an anonymous complaint brought against the FBI earlier this year over the bureau's investigation into the plane crash on September 14, 2016, which prompted her to file for divorce from Brad Pitt. According to reports, she filed a lawsuit to learn why her ex-husband wasn't charged with a crime.
Under the anonymous "Jane Doe," the actress requested FBI documents about the incident be released to her under the Freedom of Information Act.
In the 2016 FBI report, Joe alleged that she and Pitt had a verbal and physical fight during a private jet flight from France back to Los Angeles in which Pitt allegedly grabbed and pushed her, leaving her bruised and their six children upset.
Also, Brad Pitt's comments regarding child abuse have reignited concerns about Angelina Jolie.
Angelina Jolie also shared a black-and-white photo of the bruises on her hand and elbow due to the fight. She also gave handwritten pages from her children describing the incident, but most parts were redacted.
But the FBI had closed its investigation by November of that year with no charges against her ex-husband. That month, DCFS also concluded its investigation into the incident earlier with no findings of abuse.

Another insider close to Pitt claimed to the source that Jolie is allegedly trying to inflict pain on the actor by making the details of their plane altercation nearly six years ago public.
"What are a person's motivations to take up court time and public resources in filing an anonymous FOIA request for the material they have had for years? "They investigated it. They prepared materials, reviewed it together, and decided not to charge him," the unnamed source claimed.
There's only one: to inflict the most amount of pain on her ex. There is no benefit to this. It is harmful to the children and the entire family for this to be made public."
The source also claimed that the 2016 FBI report was "not a factual document" and contained only Jolie's account of what allegedly happened during the altercation.
"It was investigated, and there were no charges brought. It's standard for these types of things to not be released," the insider said.
Though the couple is officially divorced, they are still embroiled in a custody dispute over their minor children: 17-year-old Zahara, 16-year-old Shiloh, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. Sons Maddox and Pax are 21 and 18, respectively.
