After a two-year battle, Angelina Jolie has dropped her lawsuit against the FBI over the agency’s investigation into an alleged abuse incident between her and her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

The “Tomb Raider” star filed a motion to dismiss the case with prejudice on September 25, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.

Both parties are liable to pay their own legal fees.

The FBI launched an investigation into Pitt’s alleged physical altercation involving Jolie, 49, and their children on a private jet in 2016 after an anonymous call was placed to the agency.

The investigation concluded on Nov. 22, 2016, with no charges filed against Pitt, 60. Days later, Jolie filed for divorce from the “Once Upon a Time” actor.

Jolie filed the lawsuit in April 2022 under the pseudonym “Jane Doe.” Citing the Freedom of Information Act, the actress sought information “about the agency’s investigation into an incident of domestic violence that occurred several years ago involving the complainant and her minor children.” victims and witnesses.”

At the time, a source told us that the lawsuit was a strategic move by Jolie to use whatever damaging information the FBI had on Pitt against him in their custody battle over their six children — which has yet to be settled.

“Angelina is probably looking for some piece of information, something else to use against Brad, to hurt him,” the insider said.

“This is a desperate fishing expedition trying to find something that probably isn’t in the FBI notes and make it public.”

In a separate countersuit, Jolie alleged that Pitt “strangled one of the children and punched another in the face” while the family traveled from France to California on a private plane, according to legal documents previously obtained by Page Six.

She also stated that the actor “grabbed her by the head” and “shook her.”

“At one point he poured beer on Jolie; at another point he poured beer and red wine on the children,” the documents also allege.

Pitt has vehemently denied any claims of physical abuse, calling Jolie’s claims against him “completely untrue.”
