Angelina Jolie is Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Centerclosing a legal chapter.
The Oscar winner recently dropped her lawsuit against the Department of Justice and the FBI over the release of documents pertaining to the investigation into her 2016 plane incident with then-husband Brad Pitt.
"The parties to this action hereby stipulate to dismiss this action with prejudice," a dismissal obtained by E! News read, "with each party to bear its own fees and costs."
E! News has reached out to Jolie's rep for comment but hasn't heard back.
The lawsuit was first filed in April 2022 under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), with the plaintiff—listed as the anonymous "Jane Doe"—requesting the release of documents pertaining to an alleged domestic violence incident aboard a private jet.
The plaintiff said in her filing, obtained by NBC News, that her then-husband had "allegedly physically and verbally assaulted" her and their kids during a plane ride, causing them to experience "lasting physical and mental trauma as a result of the assault."
The allegations in the lawsuit appeared to match an FBI report into a prior incident involving Jolie and Pitt, in which the Eternals actress accused her then-husband of attacking her and one of their six children—Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox—during a transatlantic flight from Europe to Los Angeles on Sept. 14, 2016.
Ultimately, prosecutors did not press any charges against Pitt—who has denied the abuse allegations—in connection to the plane incident. As a federal spokesperson told E! News in November 2016, five weeks after the flight, "The FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation."
In the FOIA lawsuit, the plaintiff said she was requesting for the release of documents pertaining to the FBI's investigation to "obtain information necessary for her children to receive medical care and trauma counseling."
The plaintiff also asked that her lawsuit be sealed, though a judge denied the request, according to NBC News.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Sept. 19, 2016, citing their date of separation as the day after the plane incident. Though they were declared legally single in 2019, the former couple have spent recent years embroiled in a legal battle over Château Miraval, their once-shared French vineyard and winery.
Most recently, attorneys for Pitt slammed Jolie for going on a "sensationalist fishing expedition" after she asked the court overseeing that civil case to have her ex turn over any third-party communications he has about their 2016 plane incident.
In response to the accusation, Jolie's attorney said in a statement to E! News, "While Angelina again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong."
