It is not so clear cut. Again, the FBI report noted in the article was from an interview they had with Angie to get her allegations. That’s it. Most lawyers advise their clients against suing for defamation. It is notoriously difficult to prove and seldom results in a win.

I found another article that possibly explains why the FBI decided to drop pursuing any charges against Pitt in the case. Angie herself was being ambivalent about it and there was also her own participation in the incident.

Jolie detailed her injuries to FBI investigators, including a “rug-burn type wound on her right hand.” When asked about an apparent “scratch” on Pitt, she replied that it could have been from her, “though she believed she had (him) in more of a chokehold,” the paperwork states.

The fact that both parties had apparent injuries likely complicated the charging decision for investigators. The files obtained by Rolling Stone also said that Jolie “was personally conflicted on whether or not to be supportive of charges.” At least, that’s what her lawyer expressed in a call with investigators in December 2016, weeks after prosecutors made their initial decision to decline charges.

“After reviewing the document, representative(s) of the United States Attorney’s Office discussed the merits of this investigation with the case agent. It was agreed by all parties that criminal charges in this case would not be pursued due to several factors,” the FBI case agent wrote in a report memorializing a Nov. 22, 2016, meeting.

“In response to allegations made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation,” Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles, said in Nov. 22, 2016 statement. “No charges have been filed in this matter.”

Context matters:


Jolie said Pitt’s actions frightened the couple’s six children, who ranged in age from 8 to 15 at the time. When one of the kids allegedly called Pitt a “prick,” he bolted at the minor “like he was going to attack,” the paperwork states. At that point, Jolie “jumped up” and grabbed Pitt round his neck with her arms, “like in a choke hold,” according to the report summarizing Jolie’s version of events. Pitt purportedly threw himself back, pushing Jolie into the seats behind them, causing injury to her back and elbow, she told investigators.

The four older kids are between 18 and 23 yrs old. They want nothing to do with their father. And this is all their mother‘s fault?!
Just wow.
Misogyny is real in this thread.

It's incredible. He physically and verbally abused their mother, admitted to ruining his family through addiction, has only supervised visitation with his kids, and YET 'oh it must all be her fault.' Why?

The first impression of him was that of a nice guy. Whether that’s true or not, that has been his image from the beginning. She, on the other hand, was weird (let’s just say that) before her orchestrated humanitarian PR makeover. The first impression of her remains strong to this day despite all her efforts. Also, she’s following the same pattern of behavior she experienced herself with her parents. That is also suspicious.

I don’t care for either of them, but in a world where imagine is everything, and money is a great motivator, it’s not as cut and dried as he’s bad and she’s good or vice versa. It’s probably not fair, but it is what it is.

Rubbing someone the wrong way for whatever reason doesn't justify doubting when they have been physically abused. No wonder women don't come forward a lot more, society just refuses to be supportive.

Agreed 100%.
She is the picture of the imperfect victim.
And I always wonder what a battered woman would feel reading those comments.

Nice guys beat their wives and people like you will always believe a gorgeous, more popular man when his publicist issues a denial. Just because she did not tell you about his violent past does not mean she did not tell others, including us.
Yes, prior to the whole airplane incident.

BTW, I don’t hate Brad Pitt. What I absolutely find despicable is victim blaming. I don’t understand why some people are so invested in his made up persona.

Yes that must be it. I just think he's cute. :rollseyes: That is just so gross and condescending.

I didn't even address whether or not I believe her , think she's lying or somewhere in between. My point is nowhere along the lines has she allowed "healing" despite all her babble and him getting sober. At every turn there has been nothing but spite and a fight. She FOIA'ed the FBI report of the plane incident under a Jane Doe just to leak them to help with the custody case. She wanted to damage him to the kids, and it worked. Period.

It's not about believing the victim. It is now 8 years of her actions since whatever may have taken place that call her motives into question. Man, I can't even believe this has gone on this long.

And don’t you think that he has a well oiled PR team who releases and misspeaks about his legal case?
I can only refer to his French Miraval case. It has been reported by the media as him being victimized by his wife, meanwhile it was just regular French procedure.
She had the right to sell and did. It is not that complicated. And she was well advised as the consumption of wine took a serious dive.
The property most likely lost value since she sold her shares.
At the end of the day, he was the perpetrator in the plane attack.
He might be a better and sober person, however his children are not ready to forgive him and move on.

Wonder what the pilot and stewardess witnessed, it’s so easy, would love them to come forward!!! I know she can lie, but if she did, I would sue her if I was Brad Pitt for defamation because I would know as Brad Pitt, that the pilot and stewardess would be able to tell their rendition. There were outside witness besides the kids who according to the internet have been coached and brainwashed by their manipulative mother. I believe either she is telling the truth or he would sue for defamation as either of their version CAN BE corroborated by outside witnesses. And I would love to hear the recorded police call from the pilots/flight attendants-that should make all or one of our imaginary versions come to light.
Even if pilots and flight attendants sign NDA, does that cover being quiet about domestic violence/partner violence;children violence? Thats different than watching people doing drugs and arguing…Imagine a job where you keep secrets with or without NDAs but watching people abuse or hurt others would be extremely difficult…
If everything Angelina Jolie says is true, can you imagine what he does in the privacy of his own home? So Yeah, if she was lying, and I was Brad Pitt, I would sue her because seriously… instead everything was swept under the rug.

It’s entirely possible he opted not to sue her or continue provoking her in order to protect the kids and keep them from enduring more trauma from the incident. They’ve obviously experienced enough from it so why make them relive it just to be right?

Mirval case has been probably the only leverage he has to aggravate her. I haven’t followed it closely enough to have an opinion about it but it does seem they’re both using that suit to poke at each other and cause each other some grief.

I stand by my belief that she likely provoked him a lot in the relationship. And I also firmly believe that no one deserves physical abuse in response to that. I’m sure many times one or the other or both should have walked away to diffuse the situation rather than add fuel to an explosive fight. These two are a very toxic mess and it surprises me they lasted so long.

It’s his karma for stepping out on Jen with her.

Amber Heard also called herself a victim, but on closer inspection, they both turned out to be toxic is all I’m saying. Two celebrities with a ton of resources duking it out over money, for revenge or whatever is not the same thing as regular folks that are often stuck or dependent on their abusers.

If Brad is a monster, she should start legal proceedings to have him put in jail. That’s what he gets and exactly what he deserves for crimes against Jennifer Aniston… 😂
