Wearing a bright pink suit and a beaming smile, Brad Pitt looked as cool as a watermelon as he promoted his new movie Bullet Train in South Korea recently.
Just two days earlier, the star’s ex-wife Angelina Jolie also appeared relaxed as she accompanied the warring couple’s youngest son Knox to a theme park at Universal Studios.
But behind the scenes, shocking new details have emerged of the midair brawl that dramatically ended the A-listers’ relationship, resulting in a custody battle that has so far lasted almost three times longer than their marriage.
On August 18, several news outlets obtained FBI documents regarding the family fracas that erupted on the Jolie-Pitts’ private jet as the family returned to Los Angeles from their French estate Château Marmont in September 2016.
On board were Fury star Brad, Maleficent actress Angelina, their six children, Maddox, then aged 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, eight, and staff.
According to the FBI report, Angelina told investigators Brad had been drinking during the flight and that he’d screamed at her in one of the jet’s bathrooms.
She alleged that Brad grabbed her by the shoulders, pushed her into the bathroom and shrieked at her.
Angelina said two of the couple’s children, whose names have been redacted from the paperwork, “were outside the door crying and asked, “Are you okay, Mummy?”
