Progress has been made concerning the decision to withdraw the abuse lawsuit against the ex-husband. In this case, there has been a significant development in the past five years, beginning in 2016. Some people close to Jolie have reported that she has been feeling much better recently, and she recently took three of her children to the New York Film Festival: Maddox Pax and Zahara. She looked satisfied and calm on this occasion.
There were legal battles for and against Pitt and Jolie following an incident on an airplane from France to Los Angeles in 2016 that saw Jolie allege that Pitt had threatened to hit the two and then physically assaulted them. She stated that Pitt hardly strangulated one of the children, assaulted another, and injured her by twisting her head.
She also said Pitt. She poured wine and beer on her. This resulted in the couple’s separation, and both engaged in a protracted legal battle. However, Pitt denied all these allegations from day one. Although he admitted he had consumed alcohol to the extreme before those times, he categorically denied the capability of committing violence on Jolie and their children. An inquiry was conducted, but the matter was soon ended; the ‘authorities’ did not impose any charges on Pitt for the injustice that was done.
Although this event had no legal implications, the accusations continued to pursue the pair as the celebrities. In 2021, Pitt received equal parenting time for the minor children with Angelina. Jolie had an issue with any of these decisions. She formerly filed a lawsuit against the FBI and the Department of Justice. From her lips, she claimed she would have liked to receive more information about that event in 2016. Some information was in her favor, and she believed some evidence was withheld. But by September 2024, she had dropped the case, and both were to bear the cost of their lawyers’ fees.
“He felt it was the wrong lawsuit brought against him,” according to insiders, because, “his lawyers thought it was a repute-damaging sham suit,” but Jolie dropping it was, on the other hand, a sort of victory for Pitt. However, some analysts argue that the damage to Pitt’s reputation in the public’s view has already been done.
Lately, Jolie has been withdrawing from Hollywood and contemplating moving out of the Los Angeles region when her younger children, the twins Knox and Vivienne, reach the minimum age of 18 years. She has even hinted that she may leave the U.S. permanently for a period as all the humanity she witnessed was elsewhere and was missing here in her homeland.
While this legal decision gives Pitt some credence, sources close to the situation say Jolie is simply taking care of her kids and herself by moving forward and beyond the most heated aspects of this battle.
