Angelina Jolie recently visited her daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, at college for her homecoming weekend.
Zahara reportedly felt “proud” to show her mom around campus and introduce her to friends.
Read on for the full story.
There’s no denying Angelina Jolie is a Hollywood icon.
She has an incredible track record when it comes to making memorable movies.
And she’s just as stunning as she is talented…
She’s arguably the most beautiful woman in the world.
And while Jolie is an extraordinary actor…
She is also known famously for being married to Brad Pitt.
Now, of course, Pitt and Jolie were a Hollywood dream team.
Pitt and Jolie famously met while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They quickly hit it off and, despite the fact that Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, they couldn’t fight their feelings.
The pair quickly became the power couple.
Many commented that Aniston and Jolie couldn’t really look (or be) any more different – which fueled a lot of drama at the time.
They were loved for their adorable family, too.
Because they quickly amassed a huge brood of children, some through adoption and some through birth.
Jolie adopted Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt from Cambodia in 2002 when he was just 7 months old.
And she then adopted Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt in 2005 in Ethiopia. Her mother had become sick from salmonella, and subsequently, left her.
Some suspect that the relationship between Jolie and Pitt may have been a little strained at the time, hence bringing children into their lives.
But, this didn’t stop them welcoming Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, their first biological child, into the world in 2006.
Their first biological child garnered a lot of press coverage when she was born.
The pair were already parents to adopted children Maddox and Zahara when news surrounding Jolie’s pregnancy shook the world.
It was so intense for the couple that they traveled to Namibia specifically for the baby’s birth.
After their daughter was born, the first photos of the baby sold for millions of dollars, which Pitt and Jolie then gave to charity.
Everyone was excited to see what Shiloh would grow up to look like, having such stunning parents.
And the public believed that another star was born.
But, Jolie didn’t stop there when it came to growing her heard.
In 2007, the couple adopted Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, from Vietnam, when he was just 3 years old.
And then, to complete the herd, Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, were welcomed into the world in 2008.
But, problems continued to rise for the couple.
And though not all details have been released to the public… It’s clear that there are a lot of ill-feelings between the pair.
Some even believed that the kids were part of the couple’s issues.
Many thought that Pitt never wanted to be a father to such a large brood, but went along with it because of his love for Jolie.
And it seemed like the kids were stuck in the middle.
Although they remained pretty tight-lipped about the goings-on in the divorce.
Divorce is never easy on the kids.
But Pitt and Jolie are trying their best to co-parent.
And in spite of some dramas, the family seemed to be working through it.
And have fully supported their kids throughout it all.
Since their divorce, the pair have tried to remain as civil as possible.
And each has gone on to work on many different movies.
Jolie has recently appeared in Marvel’s Eternals, as the immortal alien being, Thena.
While Pitt’s latest venture hit theaters earlier this year.
He has been working on the new movie Bullet Train, alongside fellow actors; Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Zazie Beetz, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
The movie is centered around 5 assassins, who are all aboard a train to complete separate missions, however, it turns out they’re all connected one way or another.
But the FBI revealed some records this year that had the power to change the actor’s destiny for good…
You do not want to miss this.
It all started when Jolie accused him of frightening the couple’s 6 children during a plane journey…
The Oscar-winning actress mentioned their children were 8 to fifteen at the time.
According to the paperwork from the case, when 1 of their kids called Pitt a “pr*ck,” he allegedly bolted up as if he was about to attack the minor.
It was at that point when Jolie “jumped in” to grab Pitt round his neck with her arms, “like in a choke hold.”
This, however, is Jolie’s take on the events.
The actress then went on and told the investigators that Pitt purportedly threw himself back, pushing Jolie into the seats behind them, causing injury to her back and elbow.
But that’s not all…
Pitt allegedly consumed multiple alcoholic beverages during the fight…
And according to the highly redacted paperwork, he “poured beer on [Jolie] and the blanket she was under.”
When the plane finally landed, there was already $25,000 worth of damage done from the spilled red wine, as per Jolie’s side of the story.
She then went on and said Pitt’s alleged behavior “didn’t feel real” and left her feeling “scared” and “like a hostage.”
Moreover, a source close to Pitt previously revealed that the actor also engaged in a verbal argument with his oldest son Maddox during the jet ride.
“He certainly could have behaved better, but there was no physical abuse [of the teen],” the source concluded.
And the tale doesn’t end here as further reports revealed a little twisted version of Jolie’s side of the story…
Pitt “grabbed her by her head, shook her, pushed her into the bathroom wall and repeatedly punched the ceiling of the plane during an initial outburst about 90 minutes,” as per reports in Rolling Stone.
The private jet flight departed France and made a pitstop in Minnesota before eventually landing in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, 2016.
Jolie also claimed Pitt pushed her again when she suggested taking the couple’s children to a hotel to get some much-needed sleep after landing.
“You’re not taking my f****** kids,” Pitt allegedly yelled in response.
While the actress detailed her injuries to the FBI investigators, which included a rug-burn-type wound on her right hand, it was the scratch on Pitt’s hand that got the investigators itching their heads.
Jolie told them it could have been from her.
According to reports by Rolling Stone, Jolie was personally conflicted on whether or not to be supportive of the charges…
The FBI then released a statement.
“After reviewing the document, representative(s) of the United States Attorney’s Office discussed the merits of this investigation with the case agent. It was agreed by all parties that criminal charges, in this case, would not be pursued due to several factors,” the FBI case agent wrote in a report in November 2016.
However, in December 2016 the actress’ lawyer expressed in a call with investigators, weeks after prosecutors made their initial decision to decline charges.
And rumors of their divorce were already circulating…
Jolie then filed for divorce within days of the jet confrontation.
The actress was later declared legally single, but their custody arrangement still remained in dispute.
While the FBI files obtained by Rolling Stone were the results of a FOIA request…
The actress’ next move was quick as she sued the Justice Department as a Jane Doe plaintiff in March.
The FBI later shed light on why Pitt wasn’t charged in the jet incident…
Dramatic new details have shown investigative records which included an interview summary of her side of the story.
Now because both actors had apparent injuries…
It became a complicated matter for the investigators to come to a decision, and therefore the FBI came to a conclusion when they released a statement on the matter.
“In response to allegations made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation.
“No charges have been filed in this matter,” said Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles.
Since the report came out, shocking information about what Pitt called their kids during the infamous plane fight has also been revealed.
According to the FBI, Jolie shared that Pitt said one of their kids “looked like a f**king Columbine kid.”
His comments seemed to reference the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which saw Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murder twelve students and a teacher.
He also allegedly said she was “ruining the family.”
A source close to Pitt has spoken out against his ex-wife…
And things are getting pretty nasty now!
According to The Independent, a source close to the actor blamed Jolie’s team for leaking the private documents.
“Both parties have had this information for nearly six years.”
“So to file an anonymous FOIA request for information you already have, and that’s been used in previous legal proceedings,” said the source.
The source further revealed that the leaking of the documents “serves no purpose other than to inflict pain.”
Pictures of Jolie’s injuries from the fight with Pitt in the jet incident have since been revealed.
Jolie said she suffered multiple injuries over her body.
You can see the images here.
Despite these claims, it has been reported that Pitt believes Jolie wants to get back at him by “inflicting the most pain” on him.
A source alleged to PEOPLE that Jolie supposedly had access to the FBI documents for years before the filing…
“What are the motivations of a person to take up court time and public resources in filing an anonymous FOIA request for material they have had for years?” they claimed.
“There’s only one: to inflict the most amount of pain on her ex. There is no benefit to this. It is harmful to the children and the entire family for this to be made public,” the source said.
They also noted that the incident was investigated at the time and no charges were made.
In addition, another source told a very similar story to Radar Online…
“At this point, it would be lovely to say Brad had made peace with the fact that the harassment from his ex will never end, but the truth is he lives in fear of what she is going to do next,” they said.
The source further stated that Jolie is spreading false claims about what happened in the jet that day to make Pitt look like the villain.
“Angelina seems to be obsessed with destroying him. Whenever there is a new negative story in the press, Brad knows who is behind it,” they said.
An insider spoke positively of Pitt, and said: “The only thing Brad can do is rise above it and live his life. Could he fight back, after all, he knows everything about her, yes, but that’s not who he is.”
“Brad is not going to get down in the mud. He is frightened of what she is going to do next,” they said.
Shocking!
Jolie filed a countersuit against Pitt, sharing more details on the infamous 2016 flight.
She spoke out during the legal dealings of the French winery business the pair used to own.
Jolie’s lawyers alleged that Jolie refused to keep her part of the deal after Pitt tried to make her sign “a nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children.”
Jolie also went into more detail about the jet ride, “Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face,” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her,” the filings also claim that Pitt “poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.”
Pitt’s sources have claimed that Jolie is on a campaign to smear her ex-husband’s reputation as a child abuser.
According to TMZ sources, the feud between Jolie and Pitt has taken an extreme toll on their 6 kids, who are now all but estranged from their dad.
One source said Pitt now has a “limited and strained relationship, because of her campaign of alienation.”
After the FBI investigated and concluded the allegations were insufficient to move forward.
Jolie persistently went to a family court in an attempt to convince the judge in the divorce case that Pitt was an unfit parent who should not have any custody.
While the judge listened to both sides, Jolie’s plea was rejected, giving both parents a 50/50 chance at parenting their children.
After her anonymous freedom of information lawsuit against the FBI regarding the private jet incident was made public…
The actress filed legal docs in connection with a dispute over a winery they jointly own. TMZ reports that the winery lawsuit has “zero” to do with her allegations of abuse, yet she recounted her claims in great detail.
According to the media outlet, sources have said that in some ways Jolie has won because despite having 50/50 custody, they believe she has “poisoned” the kids against Pitt.
And he has little to no relationship with any of them, and the victims are the entire family.
Sources further suggest that Pitt has never publicly uttered a bad word about Pitt, for the sake of their kids.
While adding he’s deeply wounded by what he believes is a vicious and unrelenting attack by his ex-wife.
Representatives for the actor officially responded to the allegations.
Pitt’s team sent a statement to CNN, which said that Jolie’s “story continues to evolve each time she tells it with new, unsubstantiated claims.”
It continued: “Brad has accepted responsibility for what he did but will not for things he didn’t do. These new allegations are completely untrue.”
And while the feud between the 2 has to be having a negative effect on their 6 children, Jolie has given an interview revealing that she’s proud of how they’ve turned out.
Jolie spoke out to People magazine, sharing that “they’re pretty great people, and because there’s so many of them, I think they’ve had a very significant effect on each other.”
She added: “It’s not like I’m the head of anything. I’m very honest with my kids. And I’m very human with my kids.”
Jolie shared that she too has grown with them over the years.
“I have six very individual human beings in my home,” she said. “I am so excited about all the different stages and feelings and curiosities that they go through. Why wouldn’t you be? We’re supposed to help them figure out who they are. And you can’t figure out who they are if you don’t enthusiastically develop with them.”
“I’m not a perfect parent by any means,” she added.
“Every day I feel like I’m more aware of everything I don’t do right. And I’m pretty tough on myself, because I feel often, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Did I say the right thing?’”
Jolie revealed that her children’s kindness to her “has been very healing.”
Jolie recently paid a visit to her daughter’s college for her Homecoming weekend.
A source told Hollywood Life that Zahara was so happy her mom was able to spend some time at her school.
“It’s not the first time Angie was there, but the last time was at the very start of the academic year before Zahara could really get a feel for her surroundings,” they said.
The source further added that the trip really meant a lot to Jolie’s daughter.
“This time was so different because Zahara has made some really amazing friendships and bonds with other students on campus in just a few short months. Zahara was so thrilled to have her mom by her side while they celebrated homecoming,” they said.
Jolie tried to keep a low profile during the visit but was reportedly super friendly when people on campus approached her.
“It was a total surprise for all the students and everybody wanted to speak with them and get photos,” the source said, adding how Zahara just “loves that everybody loved her mom.”
But Zahara wasn’t the only one pleased to spend some quality time together, as Jolie also reportedly felt “honored” to be a part of the homecoming weekend.
“Angelina felt so honored when Zahara asked her to spend the whole homecoming weekend with her.
“She will always take her role as mom seriously but the older Zahara gets the more their relationship evolves into this beautiful friendship. She knows not all college kids want to be walking around homecoming with their mom the entire weekend so she does feel blessed that Z still wants her around and she doesn’t take it for granted,” the source concluded.
How adorable!
