Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, once considered Hollywood’s golden couple, have officially ended their divorce battle after eight tumultuous years. The separation was reportedly triggered by an incident aboard a private jet in 2016, which Jolie claimed involved physical and verbal abuse by Pitt.
The Private Jet Incident
In September 2016, during a flight from Europe to the United States, an altercation reportedly occurred between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Jolie alleged that Pitt’s behavior was abusive toward her and their children, which prompted her to file for divorce shortly after landing.
The incident led to an investigation by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services. However, no charges were filed against Pitt, with the investigations concluding insufficient evidence of wrongdoing.
The Legal Battle
After Jolie’s initial divorce filing, the couple entered a long legal battle over child custody and the division of their assets, including their shared French estate, Château Miraval.
In 2019, Jolie and Pitt were declared legally single, but disputes over property and custody dragged on until late 2024, when a settlement was finally reached.
Angelina Jolie’s Reflections
In a recent interview, Jolie reflected on the emotional toll of the divorce, stating, “I felt my light dimmed during those years.” She expressed relief that the long legal battle had ended, enabling her to focus on her children and career.
Brad Pitt’s Fresh Start
