    Sheโ€™s often considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.

    And while Jolie is an exceptional actressโ€ฆ

    She is also famously known for her marriage to Brad Pitt.

    Pitt and Jolie were undoubtedly a Hollywood dream team.

    Pitt and Jolie famously met while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They quickly connected, and despite Pitt still being married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, they couldn’t resist their growing feelings for each other.

    The duo swiftly established themselves as the power couple.

    Many pointed out how Aniston and Jolie seemed to be polar opposites in both appearance and personality, which sparked a lot of drama at the time.

    They were also adored for their charming family.

    They quickly grew their family, welcoming a mix of biological children and adopted ones.

    In 2002, Jolie adopted Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt from Cambodia when he was only 7 months old.

    In 2005, Jolie adopted Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt from Ethiopia. Zahara’s mother had fallen ill from salmonella and had to abandon her.

    Some speculate that during this time, the relationship between Jolie and Pitt may have been facing challenges, which led them to focus on expanding their family.

    However, this didnโ€™t stop them from welcoming Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, their first biological child, into the world in 2006.

    Their first biological child, Shiloh, attracted significant media attention upon her birth. By that time, the couple had already become parents to adopted children Maddox and Zahara, and the news of Jolieโ€™s pregnancy sent shockwaves through the world.

    The media frenzy surrounding their pregnancy was so intense that the couple decided to travel to Namibia specifically for the birth of their baby.

    After their daughter was born, the first photos of the baby were sold for millions of dollars, a sum that Pitt and Jolie chose to donate to charity.

    But Jolie didnโ€™t stop there when it came to expanding her family.

    In 2007, the couple adopted Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt from Vietnam when he was just 3 years old.

    Then, to complete their brood, they welcomed twins Knox Lรฉon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt into the world in 2008.

    However, challenges continued to arise for the couple.

    Though not all the details have been made public, itโ€™s clear that there are significant tensions between the pair.

    Some even believed that the children were a source of tension in the coupleโ€™s relationship.

    Many believed that Pitt never intended to have such a large family but went along with it out of his love for Jolie.

    Divorce is always difficult for the children involved.

    But Pitt and Jolie are doing their best to co-parent and prioritize their children’s well-being.

    “Despite a few challenges, the family appeared to be finding their way through it.”

    Both have continued to work on a variety of films.

    Jolie recently appeared in Marvel’s Eternals, playing the role of Thena, an immortal alien warrior.

    He has been working on the new film Bullet Train, alongside co-stars Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Zazie Beetz, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

    The movie revolves around five assassins, each aboard a train to complete separate missions, only to discover that their paths are all interconnected in unexpected ways.

    Pitt reportedly consumed several alcoholic drinks during the altercationโ€ฆ

    According to the heavily redacted documents, he ‘poured beer on [Jolie] and the blanket she was under.

    When the plane finally landed, Jolie’s side of the story claimed that $25,000 worth of damage had already been caused by the spilled red wine.

    “She then described Pitt’s alleged behavior as ‘not feeling real’ and said it left her feeling ‘scared’ and ‘like a hostage.'”

    A source close to Pitt previously disclosed that the actor also had a verbal confrontation with his eldest son, Maddox, during the flight.

    “He definitely could have acted more appropriately, but there was no physical abuse [toward the teen],” the source concluded.

    The story doesn’t stop there, however, as additional reports have surfaced, offering a slightly altered version of Jolie’s account.

    According to reports in Rolling Stone, Pitt “grabbed her by the head, shook her, pushed her into the bathroom wall, and repeatedly punched the planeโ€™s ceiling during an initial outburst that lasted about 90 minutes.”

    The private jet flight took off from France, made a brief stop in Minnesota, and eventually landed in Los Angeles on September 14, 2016.

    Jolie also alleged that Pitt pushed her again when she suggested taking their children to a hotel for some much-needed rest after they landed.

    According to Rolling Stone reports, Jolie was personally torn over whether or not to support the charges.

    “The FBI case agent wrote in a report in November 2016, ‘After reviewing the document, representative(s) of the United States Attorneyโ€™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.'”

    However, in December 2016, weeks after prosecutors initially decided not to pursue charges, the actress’ lawyer expressed concerns during a call with investigators.

    The matter became increasingly complex for investigators, ultimately leading the FBI to release a statement on the issue.

    “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.”

    “No charges have been filed in this matter,” said Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles.

    Since the report was released, shocking details have emerged about what Pitt allegedly called their children during the infamous plane altercation.

    According to the FBI, Jolie revealed that Pitt had said one of their children “looked like a f**king Columbine kid.”

    “It was a total surprise for all the students, and everyone wanted to speak with them and get photos,” the source said, adding that Zahara just “loves that everybody loved her mom.”
