A trip that would have turned into drama
In September 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after a private jet flight which allegedly turned into a tragedy. The actress accuses her ex-husband of having verbally and physically attacked her, as well as their children. “When one of the kids defended Angelina verbally, Brad lunged at him. Brad choked one of the children and punched another in the face. They were all scared and begged him to stop,” it was written in the police report released by “Page Six.”
Four months later, they both said in a joint statement that they would pursue the formalities of their separation privately. Since then, Brad Pitt has no longer been seen with his children. Recently, Shiloh (18) chose to give up her father's name due to “painful” events and now calls herself Shiloh Jolie.
