According to TMZ, the FBI and prosecutors met in 2016 and decided not to pursue the allegations any further. “All parties agreed that no criminal charges would be filed in this case due to a number of factors,” the documents said, according to TMZ.
However, according to Jolie, the flight was traumatic for her and the children. During the argument, Pitt allegedly poured beer and wine on her and the children. In the filing, the actress describes the situation on board: “Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and slapped another in the face. Some of the children begged Pitt to stop. They were all scared. Many were crying.”
Brad Pitt has claimed for several months that his ex-wife wanted to tarnish his reputation and drag his name through the mud.
