In court records, this time Jolie gives the very detailed account of the flight in question. Jolie, Pitt and their six children (aged 8 to 15 at the time) took a private jet from France to California on September 14, 2016. Pitt is revealed to be under the influence and allegedly accused Jolie of being “too submissive. “towards the children, after which the discussion intensified. He allegedly shook her and dragged her into the bathroom at the rear of the plane. One of the children then verbally reprimanded him for her mother.
Pitt is said to have “grabbed the child by the throat” in one response. Jolie grabbed Pitt from behind to stop him, after which he would fall into the passenger seats, leaving Jolie bruised on her back and elbow. For the remainder of the flight, the kids and Jolie sat, “quietly under the covers,” while Pitt popped regularly, sniffing and, at one point, pouring beer and wine on the kids.
