Angelina Jolie has sparked speculation that she is suing the FBI to find out why its agents declined to charge Brad Pitt over a 2016 private jet altercation he had with her eldest son Maddow. The new lawsuit, filed by an anonymous Jane Doe, alleges the investigative bureau denied the plaintiff access to records pertaining to an investigation allegations that the woman's 'then-husband … physically and verbally assaulted' her and their children while traveling on a private plane 'several years ago.' In 2016, soon after Jolie filed for divorce, it was revealed that Pitt was being investigated by the FBI and Los Angeles social services amid reports he got 'verbally abusive and physical with his children' on a private jet traveling from France to the USA.Investigators cleared Pitt, 58, of the abuse allegations, stating he had not committed child abuse when he got into a fight with Jolie-Pitt, then 15, aboard the jet. It has now been speculated that Jolie may be the woman who is suing, although a source close to her and Pitt told TMZ were given the full FBI report during their divorce. The suit alleges Jane Doe has filed numerous requests for a copy of the department's investigative file in hopes of 'better understanding the FBI's investigation and obtaining information necessary for her children to receive medical care and trauma counseling'. High-profile attorney Amanda Kramer, who is representing the plaintiff, told Politico her client filed the suit anonymously 'preserve the family’s privacy.' Representatives for Jolie, 46, did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment. The filing alleges the woman's children have 'experienced lasting physical and mental trauma' after being 'verbally and physically' assaulted by her then-husband while flying on a private plane. The plaintiff claims the FBI launched an investigation into the incident and 'without advance notice' to her or her children, 'publicly announced it was closing its investigation of the incident without further action'.The woman filed several FOIA requests with the bureau, hoping to better understand why they opted not to take action against her husband, according to the filing.She has accused the agency of not only failing to provide her with the requested documents, but also claims the FBI's responses to her requests are 'legally insufficient'. The woman, who does not appear to have filed a formal lawsuit yet, had requested that she be permitted to proceed with the case under a pseudonym and to have it sealed. U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell reportedly signed off on the request this week.'Our position is that victims and survivors should be able to access federal agency records of crimes they experienced or reported, as is common at the state level, so they can advocate for help and trauma care and legal protection for their children and themselves,' Kramer told the media outlet after declining to disclose the plaintiff's identity.'Our client has been seeking such records for years and has been stonewalled and has had to resort to court action to receive those much-needed records. Legislative remedies are necessary.'
Speculation arose that Jolie may be Jane Doe due to the similarities between the filing and the accusations the actress had previously made against Pitt.However, a source connected to the former couple told TMZ Tuesday that both Pitt and Jolie received a copy of the FBI's report following the initial investigation into the plane incident. The source also claimed the information in the report was submitted during the couple's divorce case.The FBI did not respond to DailyMail.com's inquiry about the suit. In September 2016, the actress alleged Pitt and and their son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, got into an argument on the family plane.Witnesses, at the time, alleged the confrontation between the Hollywood star and his teenage son escalated to the point that Pitt struck the boy - 'intentionally or inadvertently'.The bystanders claimed Pitt then drove around the tarmac in a fuel truck, but returned to the plane soon after and the group departed for Los Angeles.Shortly after the alleged incident, an anonymous source called in an complaint to LA County Department of Children and Family Services, alleging that Pitt had demonstrated both physical and verbal abuse.Social workers interviewed Pitt, Jolie, their children and witnesses on the plane before determining there was no case to answer and closing their investigation. Days after the alleged plane incident, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt and asked for full custody of their kids.Once DCFS cleared him of the abuse allegations, Pitt formally responded to his ex's petition stating his intent to seek joint custody of their brood.In 2021, amid the couple's divorce and custody battle, a source close to the family said Jolie had 'made similar allegations in the past which were investigated by the authorities and not substantiated.'The source called the accusation of abuse on the private jet her 'latest sad and desperate attempt to advance a false narrative at any cost.' The powerhouse stars met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 and after dating for a decade they tied the knot in September 2014.They have six children together: Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 13.Jolie adopted Maddox in 2002, then Zahara in 2005, a year after she'd met Pitt while the pair filmed Mr and Mrs Smith. He was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.They then adopted Pax together in 2007, and had biological kids Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne afterwards. Pitt adopted all of the kids before they got married in 2014. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, prompting a long legal battle. Maddox Jolie-Pitt, then 19, testified against his father during the couple's contentious divorce and custody battle - offering a 'not very flattering' opinion about the actor. A source also revealed during the proceeding that Jolie-Pitt wanted to legally remove 'Pitt' from his name, something his mother 'doesn't support.'

Angelina Jolie was the epitome of chic in a long black coat while arriving to the Cara Hotel in Los Feliz, located just south of Griffith Park, on Friday.While strutting into the upscale property, known for its stunning courtyard surrounded by 100-year-old olive trees and California palms, the 46-year-old actress wore a protective N95 respirator mask and nude pumps.Her long, glossy brown hair cascaded in loose curls past her shoulders as she made her way toward the entrance flanked by a muscular bodyguard.The Maleficent star carried her essentials in a sleek black leather handbag on a rare outing without any of her and ex-husband Brad Pitt's six children.Her outing comes after appearing on NBC Nightly News last week to talk about the recently renewed Violence Against Women Act. On the segment, she spoke to Kate Snow about how the law's passing was 'a long time coming' as the system currently in place to protect survivors is 'unbelievably broken' and needs serious reform.'I think, I think this country doesn't recognize what a serious domestic violence and child abuse problem it really has,' she said. 'And I think, I think there is a reality that when somebody harms a child, if it's a stranger, the way the law looks at it, the way the law responds, it's quite strong.' 'When it's somebody within a family, within a home, it is responded to less. And if you can imagine for the child in fact, that's, that's in many ways worse.' She added: 'I think once you're exposed to this system, whoever you are, once you're exposed to it and you realize how unbelievably broken this system is, you have to do something to improve it.'Jolie said the bill was 'personal to everyone' and has had her own experience with the family court system after accusing her former spouse of verbally and physically assaulting one of their six kids on a private plane in 2016. 'It is personal to everyone,' Jolie said. 'Everyone who cares about family, everyone who cares about children, everyone who cares about their own safety and the health of their community.' He was cleared of any wrongdoing after an investigation by both the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI. 'My children's health is my priority at this moment,' she added. 'And my focus for the last few years has been to help my family and … to focus on helping change laws to protect other families and other women and focus on their stories.'Angelina and Brad began dating in 2004 after meeting on set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and married in 2014. She filed for divorce two years later, though, in 2016 citing 'irreconcilable differences' and it was finalized in 2019. They've continued battling in court for custody of four of their six children who are still legally minors, and a host of properties acquired throughout their marriage. Ruth Glenn of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence Glenn spoke about the significance of the reauthorization, saying, 'Many, many survivors who have not had their needs addressed previously will now have their needs addressed.' In addition to funding for Pell Grants and other programs, the act was also part of a bill which provided billions in emergency aid to Ukraine.

Angelina Jolie spent some quality time with her daughter Vivienne on Monday. The actress, 46, and her daughter, 13, walked arm in arm as they checked out different shops at The Grove in Los Angeles. The Tourist star wore a tight-fitting gray button down shirt and a beige skirt that ended at shin level. She walked in a pair of black flats and carried a purse with her that hung quite low from her right shoulder. The mother-daughter pair wore face coverings to the outdoor shopping center. The Wanted actress shares her daughter with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The pair were married from 2014 to 2019. The couple have six children together. They had three biologically and adopted another three as well. Their six children are: Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 13. After the divorce, a legal battle over custody began between the two stars who originally fell for one another while playing a couple on the action-comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They are still fighting about custody of their four underage children as well as the properties they acquired together during their marriage. Jolie's appearance with Vivienne came just a few days after she appeared on NBC Nightly News to praise the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, a federal law that was first passed in 1994. The act provided funding to investigate and prosecute cases where acts of violence were alleged against women. It also established the Office on Violence Against Women in the Justice Department. Jolie said the bill was 'personal to everyone' and has had her own experience with the family court system after accusing her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, of allegedly verbally and physically assaulting one of their six kids on a private plane in 2016. 'It is personal to everyone,' Jolie said. 'Everyone who cares about family, everyone who cares about children, everyone who cares about their own safety and the health of their community.'He was cleared of any wrongdoing after an investigation by both the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI. 'My children's health is my priority at this moment,' she added.
