The altercation that ended Brad Pitt, 58, and Angelina Jolie, 47, broke up when he compared one of their six children to one of the Columbine killers, according to a copy of a newly released FBI report investigating the incident. couple fight inside an airplane. The documents were requested anonymously by the actress under the Freedom of Information Act.
According to documents obtained by Page Six, Pitt allegedly made the ugly comparison to a school shooter while drinking on the 2016 private jet flight that ended with Jolie filing for divorce six days later.
Jolie realized that Pitt “was crazy” on the flight and asked what was wrong, the report noted. “That kid looks like a kid from Columbine,” Pitt reportedly retorted, accusing Jolie of being “crazy” and “ruining the family.”
It was unclear which of the six children they shared Pitt was referring to when he allegedly drew the comparison to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the youths who killed 12 children and a teacher in a Colorado school shooting in 1999.
The argument sparked the ugly and violent altercation that ended the marriage, when the couple went to the bathroom in the back of the jet to fight privately, Jolie told investigators, according to the report.
Pitt had “drank about two or three drinks” — which “wasn’t much alcohol” for him, Jolie said, saying she “had seen him drink a whole bottle of vodka” before.
According to Page Six, Jolie claimed that Pitt “started yelling at her” and then “grabbed her by the head, shaking her”, before punching “the roof of the plane approximately four times”.
According to the website, Pitt then “shoved her against the bathroom wall and yelled things like, ‘You’re fucking this family,'” the report states. Two of her children were outside, both crying, and one of them asked, “Are you okay, Mommy?”
Pitt then pushed Jolie away as she tried to hug them, allegedly yelling, “No, she’s not okay. She’s ruining this family. She’s crazy.” One of the children – whose name has been edited – shouted: “It’s not her, it’s you, you idiot!” according to the report. Pitt allegedly ran towards the child, but Jolie held him back, sustaining injuries to his back and elbow in the process.
At another point on the flight, according to the initial FBI report, Jolie said that Pitt spilled beer on her while she was trying to sleep.
At the end of the flight, Jolie claimed that Pitt prevented the family from disembarking for about 20 minutes after she told him she was taking the kids to a hotel in California to rest. She said he yelled, “You won’t take my kids” and that he pushed her.
Jolie sent photos of her alleged injuries to the FBI for the report and also the children’s diaries. However, no criminal action was taken against Pitt, who was cleared of child abuse charges.
Six days after the flight, Jolie filed for divorce. The former couple is still at war over the custody of their minor children.
