The details of Angelina Jolie’s report to the FBI about Brad Pitt’s alleged behaviour toward her and their kids on a private plane flight home from Europe on Sept 14, 2016, have come to light thanks to a lawsuit Jolie brought against the federal law enforcement agency.

Jolie’s FBI lawsuit was revealed earlier this year when a judge decided to allow a woman — presumably Jolie — to file a Freedom of Information/Privacy Act lawsuit using a pseudonym. The woman was also seeking to keep the case “entirely sealed,” according to a March 2022 federal court document posted online by Politico’s Josh Gerstein, who quietly broke the news in April. The judge did not allow the case to be sealed, and details now available in that case make it clear that Jolie is the plaintiff.
