Brad Pitt allegedly “choked” one of his children and “grabbed Angelina Jolie” by the head, his ex-wife claimed when she revealed details of their infamous plane flight in 2016 For the first time.
In a Los Angeles lawsuit, Jolie, 47, alleged that Pitt, 58, became angry and abusive during the private flight from France to California after accusing the actress of being “too deferential” to their six children.
“Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her…before he pushed her against the bathroom wall,” the statement read.
When one of the children came to defend Jolie, Pitt attacked the child, Jolie’s lawyers say on the file.
Pitt “choked one of the kids and punched another in the face,” during the altercation, the filing said.
“At one point he poured beer on Jolie; in another he poured beer and red wine over the children,” it read.
Jolie filed for divorce days after the September 2016 flight.
Pitt’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but sources close to the actor have emphatically denied that he used physical violence in previous press releases about the flight.
At the time, an FBI report on the incident concluded that the parties involved had decided not to pursue criminal charges, US media reported.
