Brad Pitt's alleged flight rage: Angelina Jolie reveals 2016 family ordeal

In a revelation that sent shockwaves through Hollywood, Angelina Jolie accused her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, of both verbal and physical abuse during a private plane flight in 2016, casting a shadow over their once-idyllic family life. This incident, involving their children, including Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, has been a focal point of their legal and personal battles ever since.

According to court documents, the altercation on the flight began with a verbal disagreement and escalated alarmingly. "Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her," the documents allege, describing a harrowing sequence of events where Pitt's anger turned physical against Jolie and their children. When one of their children attempted to defend Jolie, Pitt reportedly lunged at them, prompting a protective response from the entire family. The documents detail Pitt's physical aggression, including choking one child and striking another, leading to Jolie filing for divorce shortly after the incident.

The aftermath of their separation saw Pitt and Jolie embroiled in legal disputes, notably over the sale of Jolie's stake in their jointly owned Chateau Miraval winery. Pitt sued Jolie for allegedly breaching an agreement by selling her stake without his consent, a claim that Jolie's legal team disputes, arguing there was never such an agreement in place.
