Angelina Jolie channeled her iconic Lara Croft style while leaving an office building in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.The Hollywood superstar, 47, flashed her taut tummy while sporting a cropped black tank top, reminiscent of the one her character wore in the popular action-adventure Tomb Raider films. The outing comes after it was recently revealed that the actress was the 'Jane Doe' who sued the FBI after an investigation into her ex-husband Brad Pitt was closed, claiming he poured beer on her, injured her, and fought with son Maddox in 2016.The Academy Award winner completed her look with a pair of low rise oversized black pants and chunky black sandals.The Maleficent star further accessorized her look with a pair of stylish oversized shades and wore a delicate gold necklace and matching earrings. Slung over her shoulder was a chic large quilted black Yves Saint Laurent tote bag with gold hardware.Jolie wore her long brunette tresses parted on the side and flowing down her shoulders.The beauty appeared to be in good spirits and flashed a smile at the cameras, despite the recent drama surrounding her bitter divorce from Pitt, 58.A recent leaked FBI report offered further details regarding Pitt's behavior during the well documented mid-air row with Jolie.The report, released last week, alleges he told Jolie one of her adopted children 'looked like a f**king Columbine kid' and said she was 'ruining the family' during a furious row aboard their private jet.Pitt's alleged comment appeared to be in reference to the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, which saw 12th grade students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murder 12 children and a teacher in Colorado. Jolie and Pitt - whose marriage collapsed in 2016 following the mid-air incident - are parents to six children. They share daughter Shiloh, 16, twins Knox and Vivienne, 14, daughter Zahara, 17, as well as sons Maddox, 21, and Pax, 18.Three of their children are adopted from abroad - Zahara from Ethiopia, Pax from Vietnam and Maddox from Cambodia - and Angelina gave birth to the other three.The leaked document claims that Pitt clashed with Maddox during an allegedly drunken rage that turned into a 'verbal and physical fight' between the A-list actors.Jolie also filed images showing bruising to her hand and elbow to the FBI as part of an investigation into the couple's 'verbal and physical fight' while traveling from France to Los Angeles on September 14, 2016.
After one of the former couple's children had called their father a 'pr***' during the fight, Jolie allegedly attempted to choke Pitt from behind in reaction to what she said looked 'like he was going to attack' one of the minors. Jolie claims while Pitt was in a chokehold, he threw his body back, causing Jolie to slam into chairs behind them, according to FBI documents which have yet to be publicly released but were obtained by several news outlets.He allegedly snatched her before shaking and pushing her onto a wall. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor then punched the plane's ceiling, making a hole in it. The actress claims she suffered injuries to her back and elbow as well as a 'rug-burn type wound' on her hand as a result.Black-and-white images, which were included in the FBI report, show bruising to Jolie's hand and elbow. Pitt denies all of his ex-wife's claims.Throughout the flight, he was also behaving like 'a monster', according to Jolie, as he would complain non-stop and scream at the children.Jolie requested the release of the FBI documents under the anonymous 'Jane Doe,' after submitting a Freedom of Information Act request in April.Four days later, on September 19, Jolie filed for divorce from The Moneyball actor. The former couple, who had been married for almost five years, have since been embroiled in a custody battle over their children.In its final report on the investigation, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services concluded that Pitt, who has previously admitted to problems with alcohol, did not physically abuse any of his children. Pitt was also cleared by the FBI of any wrongdoing.Jolie said there had been 'tension' between her and her ex-husband, adding that Pitt's actions on the private aircraft in 2016 had made her feel 'like a hostage' onboard, the FBI report, seen by NBC, further reveals.The filing alleges the woman's children have 'experienced lasting physical and mental trauma' after being 'verbally and physically' assaulted by her then-husband.Pitt and Jolie became a couple in 2005 when he infamously left his first wife Jennifer Aniston for her in a scandal that riveted the world.They waited nearly a decade before they tied the knot in 2014 at the Chateau Miraval in France - the site of the winery they are locked in a court battle over at present.Although they became legally single in 2019, their custody battle has raged on.

Salma Hayek reveals her favorite director to work with is Angelina Jolie: 'I was blown away by her kindness to every single person on the set'

Salma Hayek has worked with some legendary directors, from Julie Taymor and Robert Rodriguez to Chloé Zhao and Ridley Scott. But her favorite director to work with is one who co-starred with the Emmy Award winning actress. In a recent interview with Deadline, the 55-year-old Frida star said Angelina Jolie was her favorite director to work with after they collaborated on Without Blood. 'Angelina is the best director I’ve ever worked with. I absolutely loved working with her; enjoyed every second of it,' she said. 'It’s a tough piece but it was so delicious to come to work every single day. She is a genius and I think this might be her best movie yet. She did an amazing job, really.'She also said she was 'completely blown away by her mind, her dedication, her technical knowledge, and her control of every aspect, as well as her vision which is so clear. 'She is so good with the actors, so passionate, and so focused. But most of all, I was blown away by her kindness to every single person on the set. I talked about this with my co-star Demián Bichir and we were saying, "Wow, she’s really something."'Salma and Angelina previously worked alongside each other as actors on the Marvel movie Eternals. This new endeavor is decidedly more grounded, following a young Italian girl named Nina after she witnesses an act of violence. Without Blood isn't the only project Hayek talked about in her Deadline interview. She also discussed the new show she produced titled Santa Evita, centered on famous Argentinian First Lady Eva Perón. The show stars Natalia Oreiro of Super Crazy fame as Perón, who served as first lady of Argentina before dying of cervical cancer in 1952 at just 33 years old. Despite the character it centers on, Santa Evita takes place after her death, following the strange circumstances regarding her remains. 'Eva Perón is a super charismatic character and there have been so many [projects] made about her. But Santa Evita is based on a part of Evita’s story that is a mystery which is, following her death, she was embalmed by her husband, and then [her body] disappeared for nearly 20 years,' Hayek explained. She later said she felt the series, now streaming in its entirety on Hulu, focuses on 'something that I find very relevant today: the obsession that men can have over women’s bodies. The obsession that men can have to take women who seem unattainable and control them. The story is told in an ingenious and original way.'

How Brad and Angelina's fairytale marriage REALLY fell apart: ALISON BOSHOFF reveals where it all went wrong - from overindulged children who 'ruled the roost' to bitter rows
- Details

They first got to know each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Brad Pitt, who was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, was then introduced to Angelina Jolie’s toddler son Maddox. At the time, sources on the film said that Jolie, now 47, would show up at Pitt’s trailer and tell him: ‘Maddox would like to say "Hi."' Pitt, now 58, was enchanted – by the boy and his mother. After starting his romance with Jolie in 2004, he formally adopted Maddox in 2006. As we now know, his relationship with both has since sadly ruptured, after the fight on board a private jet in September 2016.After the incident, Maddox then 15, reportedly declined to see his father when a first meeting was brokered between Pitt and his children. ‘He doesn’t really see himself as Pitt's son,’ a source told US Weekly at the time. Another added more bluntly: ‘He never wants to see Pitt again.’ In the years since, Pitt and Jolie have been entangled in a custody battle, and Maddox has gone his own way. He’s now 21, has graduated from university in South Korea, and is working on films with his mother. And this week, the ugliness of the schism with his adoptive father has been laid bare. On Thursday, as the result of a freedom of information request, an FBI report into the alleged altercation on the plane which ended the Jolie-Pitt marriage was released. Per the documents, Pitt is said to have remarked that one child: ‘Looked like a f***ing Columbine kid.’ The legal papers don’t spell out which child this was, although Radar Online reported that sources close to the actor claim that Pitt was referring to Maddox.Jolie also claims that Pitt said to the children during the heated exchange: ‘Mommy’s not OK. She’s ruining this family. She’s crazy.’ Sources in the Pitt camp describe the release of the information as a ‘media stunt to inflict pain.’ It’s hard to disagree - Pitt was not arrested or charged and no further investigation was undertaken by the FBI; he was never deemed a danger to the children.
The release makes no difference legally in their divorce. What it does do is embarrass Pitt, who is currently finishing a global press tour to promote his new film Bullet Train. But what is the truth about the Pitt-Jolie family life before the break-up? And what drove Pitt into the drunken rage which has led to a drawn-out divorce battle, and a new era of sobriety for him? The first thing to note is that there was nothing conventional about the experiment in family living conducted by Pitt and Jolie. For instance, from an early age, adopted son Maddox had an interest in guns and knives, a passion that Jolie was happy to cultivate. In an old interview with W Magazine, the actress said that her own mother had taken her to ‘buy her first daggers when she was 11 or 12,’ adding that she had ‘already bought Maddox some’ from a ‘special shop.’ Soon afterwards, he drew a picture of a machine gun on her mother’s day card – and Jolie revealed in a 2017 interview with Entertainment Weekly that Pitt had the image made into a gold trinket to hang on a chain, saying at the time: ‘He's all into war and guns. So for Mother's Day he drew a machine-gun, and Pitt had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It's really cute.’ This is reminiscent of the children’s doodles which were sewn into her wedding veil. Not many brides would drift down the aisle with the words ‘buttock futtock’ carefully applied – but then again, Jolie was not any bride. According to sources in France, where the family spent holidays at the Chateau Miraval, the children ‘always ruled the roost’ – hence, their artwork taking center stage at the wedding. It seems that an ‘anything goes’ principle applied for the family-of-three adopted children - Maddox, from Cambodia, Pax from Vietnam, and Zahara an orphan from Ethiopia - plus twins Knox and Violet, and daughter Shiloh. Jolie started her family in 2002. Having filmed Tomb Raider in Cambodia, she decided that she wanted to adopt an orphaned Cambodian baby – even though her second marriage to actor Billy Bob Thornton, had recently ended.
She later said: ‘Our marriage was falling apart before I adopted and by the time Maddox came home, Billy and I were apart.’ As the scandal over Pitt's marriage break-up with Anniston raged, she was spotted playing with Maddox in Central Park, looking the picture of loving motherhood. An untrue and damaging suggestion started to circulate that Pitt had to leave Aniston because she had not wanted to give up her career and have babies with him. The opposite was true. In fact, in a 2005 interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston slammed the rumors, saying: ‘I’ve never in my life said I didn’t want to have children. I did and I do and I will!’ Meanwhile Jolie’s own father, John Voight, was not convinced by her reinvention as the ultimate mother. When she adopted Maddox he begged her to seek help for the ‘serious symptoms of real problems’ he thought she showed. Voight added, bluntly: ‘She has never been normal.’ Born on June 4, 1975, she is the daughter of actor Voight and French Canadian actress Marcheline Bertrand. Her parents separated in 1976, and she and her brother, James, were then raised by their mother. Apparently, she took her parents' break-up hard, and the relationship with her father has since been difficult. She struggled to get over the fact that he was not faithful to her mother, and she spent years watching him from afar, wishing that they had more of a relationship. ‘My mom was in a lot of pain. My father had an affair, and then there were a lot of challenges with child support and alimony,’ she told the Guardian in 2021. ‘I didn't feel that close to my father,’ she also shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2017. ‘I felt more of my mother's daughter when I was a child.’As a teenager, she was sexually precocious, moving her 16-year-old boyfriend into the family home when she was 14. By her own account, she even tried drugs.
The writer Ian Halperin said in his recent book about Brangelina that she was sent to see the school therapist and claims that a report written about her by the medical professional, and seen by him, said that she is 'inclined towards anti-social psychopathy' – a serious and startling claim. Psychopathy is characterized by a lack of empathy, coupled with a use of charisma, manipulation, sex, violence, and intimidation. She previously self-harmed, once telling an interviewer: ‘I collected knives and always had certain things around. 'For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me.’ By the time she was a mother, her own mother was engaged in a long and devastating battle with breast cancer. She died in 2007, aged 56, after being diagnosed in 1999. Perhaps she felt that the experience would act as a bulwark against the coming grief; however, Jolie was conflicted about having a baby of her own, and opted to adopt. ‘Having a child of my own would make me feel that there was a child out there who did not have a home because I had chosen to have a baby,' she told an interviewer in 2005. Pitt did not feel the same way. After they fell for each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, he helped her to adopt Zahara, and then encouraged her to have a child that was biologically theirs, Shiloh. And what she and Pitt have built in these years is perhaps the ultimate dysfunctional household.Both of them worked periodically, and the whole family spent years crisscrossing the globe. They settled at one time in New Orleans, and in France, and called a myriad of hotels a temporary home.Jolie at one time would rent a suite at a Los Angeles hotel, even though she and Pitt had property in Hollywood.
Reports published in a number of US magazines at the time claimed that the actress used to ask for the suite that she had booked for her mother when she was ill, and would go up to her room and spend time alone and weep.Pitt struggled with managing the relationship and the spotlight; he would drink heavily and said more than once that he would wake up still drunk from the previous night. His friend Quentin Tarantino alluded to his pot-smoking habit, which Jolie disapproved of. One hotel employee, Anna Kowalski, alleged that Jolie and Pitt habitually slept in separate rooms as long ago as 2010, and had little to do with each other, with Jolie sitting alone drinking wine in the bedroom of the suite, and Pitt sitting in another room with a beer.As the kids grew older, she found a passion for charitable missions, and would bring them along. Zahara and Shiloh were taken to Ethiopia to scout locations for a medical center, while Maddox went to Iraq as a birthday treat. At home there were no rules, except that the children weren’t encouraged to make any friends outside of the family circle. For a time, Maddox liked to speak French, even though the rest of the family, with the exception of his mother and brother Pax, struggled with the language. Shiloh, for some time, only answered to the name of John and dressed in boy’s clothes, including neckties and fedora hats. The habit arose because of her passion for the Peter Pan movie. One former nanny, who quit in despair, reportedly said that the children insisted on breakfasting on items like pizza or chocolate, and enjoyed a diet of junk food, particularly Cheetos. A source told DailyMail.com that the nannies varied in number between six and nine, with each having one child as their key responsibility. They were, the insider claimed, rotated every six months to prevent the attachment becoming too settled.When Shiloh was three and Zahara five, both would carry blankies, even on a trip to the grocery store, with photographers capturing the youngsters with their comforters on several occasions.As the marriage entered its final year, Jolie's brother James moved in with her and Pitt, having been hired as the chief nanny to their brood.
He was her great support - who can forget their unsettling kiss on the Oscars red carpet in 2000 – and according to a DailyMail.com source, having James around stoked the tensions which ended the marriage. That insider claimed that relations were so sour between the two men of the house that Pitt used to make James fly economy when the rest of the family were in first class. And some magazines suggested that the younger children had fallen into the habit of calling James ‘Dad’ by the summer of 2016. Soon after the split, though, the arrangement was terminated – the reason being that he was simply worn out by the ‘shattering’ job. Since the breakup, there has been endless court-appointed therapy for the children, who shuttle between their warring parents in their respective LA homes via chauffeur cars, accompanied by security. Jolie has primary custody, while Pitt sees them for a certain number of hours on a school day, and every other day of weekends or holidays. Every minute, issue seems to be a flashpoint. At one point, their judge issued a ‘cellphone protocol’ saying that Pitt needed to know the children’s phone numbers so that he could speak to them or text them, without her intervening or supervising; Jolie was warned of serious consequences if she created a distance between him and the kids. Last year, the actress successfully had the judge thrown off the case after filing a statement of disqualification based on undisclosed ongoing professional relationships with Pitt’s counsel. This meant that his judgement – a 50/50 custody split – was also nixed, meaning that the former spouses have effectively started the legal proceedings again ‘from zero.' It is likely that the renewed legal battle will take years to resolve. When the custody fight started, they were aged between eight and 15. Now only three of them – Shiloh, 16, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 14 – are under 18. Zahara, who Pitt has always doted on, just started college in Atlanta. He and Shiloh, 16, have a strong bond, and it seems that it is his ‘beautiful’ daughter who is making him smile again. They spend time together at his main residence in Los Feliz, where she enjoys watching films and art and listening to music with Pitt. Reports suggest: ‘They spend a lot of their time together in his art studio being creative.’ Shiloh has blossomed into a beautiful young woman, with a passion for dancing and taste for Converse shoes and cut off shorts. She looks in danger of being taller than her mother before the summer is out. His current sunny mood seems to be down to the realization that as the children grow older, they can make their own choices about who to spend time with. He’s just bought a family home in Carmel where he hopes to do just that.Jolie, by contrast, hopes to embrace a more nomadic existence. She sees her future abroad – possibly in Cambodia, where she has property, or in Africa, and she’s complained about being forced to stay in Los Angeles until the kids are 18 because of Pitt. The battle, then, goes on.

Brad Pitt aurait agressé Angelina Jolie dans un avion, et elle a porté plainte… contre le FBI

Leur divorce enfin prononcé, Brad Pitt a porté plainte contre Angelina Jolie pour une sombre affaire de vin. Aujourd’hui, on apprend qu’elle a porté plainte, non contre l’acteur, mais contre le FBI autour du vol privé où tout a basculé pour l’ancien power couple préféré d’Hollywood. C’était l’un des power couples d’Hollywood qui faisait le plus fantasmer l’Occident. Pourtant, à mesure que leur séparation s’officialise, des détails toujours plus sombres émergent, présentant Brad Pitt comme étant l’auteur de violences présumées à l’encontre d’Angelina Jolie et leurs enfants. Beaucoup de choses semblent s’être joué dans un mystérieux vol dans leur jet privé, le 15 septembre 2016. La famille était alors au grand complet : Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, et leurs 6 enfants ont décollé de Nice pour atterrir à Los Angeles. Une voiture a embarqué la mère et les enfants pour dormir à l’hôtel, tandis que le père est rentré seul chez eux. Cinq jours plus tard, Angelina Jolie a demandé le divorce. Mais que s’est-il vraiment passé dans cet avion ? Et pourquoi ce vieil incident ressurgit aujourd’hui pour en révéler beaucoup plus sur les affres d’un des ex-couples les plus célèbres d’Hollywood ? La rumeur (relayée par US Weekly, notamment) veut qu’une dispute ait éclaté au sein du couple, et qu’un des enfants, Maddox (15 ans au moment des faits présumés) se soit interposé. Brad Pitt aurait alors violemment repoussé son fils. Ce dernier aurait témoigné en défaveur de son père durant la procédure judiciaire pour savoir qui aurait la garde. Aujourd’hui, un procès anonyme de 2016 autour d’une plaignante qui accusée son « ex-mari » de l’avoir agressée dans un avion privé resurgit. Car il vient d’être révélé qu’il s’agissait en fait d’Angelina Jolie et de Brad Pitt. Et les faits semblent encore pires que ce que la rumeur croyait savoir.En effet, d’après le média Puck, l’actrice aurait dit à un agent du FBI que l’acteur les aurait « physiquement et verbalement agressés », elle et leurs enfants, durant le vol. Brad Pitt aurait même amené Angelina Jolie jusqu’au fond de l’avion pour la prendre à part, par les épaules, et lui hurler dessus : « Tu fous en l’air cette famille ! »
Une autre altercation physique aurait eu lieu et aurait causé des blessures au coude de l’actrice. L’acteur lui aurait également versé de la bière dessus. Évidemment, lui et son équipe d’avocat nient ces accusations. En fait, Angelina Jolie a porté plainte, anonymement, contre le FBI justement pour obtenir des documents liés à l’enquête fédérale en cours contre Brad Pitt. L’enquête en cours : maltraitance d’enfants. On peut notamment lire dans le dépôt de plainte de l’actrice, rapporté par Variety : « Mme Doe [c’est comme ça qu’on surnomme les femmes souhaitant rester anonyme, ndlr] a recherché les informations retenues pendant [plusieurs] années dans le but de s’assurer que ses enfants reçoivent des soins et des conseils qualifiés pour remédier au préjudice subi. […] Les informations retenues par le DOJ [Department of Justice, l’organisation mère du bureau fédéral d’enquête (FBI), notamment] et le FBI contiennent des preuves du préjudice. Le refus persistant de cette information à Mme Doe, une victime de l’agression elle-même, a entravé et continue d’entraver ses efforts pour obtenir pour ses enfants les soins continus et les soins médicaux nécessaires, et nuit encore aux enfants dans le système de la loi familiale. » Brad Pitt semble déjà commencer une opération de réhabilitation de son image. En effet, le FBI et le département des services dédiés à l’enfance et aux familles de Los Angeles ont ouvert une enquête en 2016 autour de Brad Pitt. Justement parce que celui-ci aurait levé la main sur son fils, Maddox, de 15 ans, dans ce fameux vol privé du 15 septembre 2016 où tout aurait basculé. À l’heure actuelle, l’houleux divorce a enfin été prononcé en octobre 2021, et aucune plainte contre l’acteur n’a été déposée. Mais lui vient de porter plainte contre elle, pour nuisance à ses activités vinicoles. Vous avez dit diversion ? Même si comparaison n’est pas raison et toutes choses égales par ailleurs, vu le chaos misogyne des procès opposant Johnny Depp et Amber Heard, on peut en partie comprendre l’éventuel pourquoi… D’autant plus que Brad Pitt enchaîne aujourd’hui les apparitions médiatiques remarquées, dont de nombreuses confidences façon homme brisé en repentance. Comme s’il cherchait déjà à réhabiliter son image pendant qu’il écorne celui de son ex-femme, et ravive la flamme de ses fans en vue d’éventuels procès à venir… Do you get déjà vu ?
