Angelina Jolie has filed court papers against her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, for harassing her with drunken attacks while with her children, aged 8 to 15, during a private flight back in 2016.
According to the Vanguard, Jolie's lawyers allegedly say Pitt grabbed the actress's head and shook her before pushing her into the bathroom wall during a fight at the couple's Chateau Miraval winery in France.
"Pitt insulted Jolie when one of the kids defended Jolie, the actor lunged at his own child, and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him; Pitt then threw himself back into the aeroplane's seat, injuring Jolie's back and elbow." the court submission writes adding "The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened. Many were crying."
The document writes, "Pitt punched the plane's ceiling numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom."
Jolie's legal team filed papers detailing how the attack unfolded, but the information revealed to the public on the matter is still scanty.
Jolie claims, "Pitt also verbally abused and poured alcohol in front of my family during the flight from France to Los Angeles."
Jolie accuses the Flight Club actor of being "too deferential" to the children, but Pitt pleads not guilty, saying all the claims are false.
The FBI investigated the incident in 2016, but details were kept secret and sealed in divorce documents.
