In the middle of a fierce legal showdown with her former spouse, Brad Pitt , actress Angelina Jolie sought FBI intervention to obtain documents. The celebrity duo is embroiled in a contentious fight over their shared assets, including their esteemed wine brand, Miraval. Following their split, Jolie had initially expressed interest in selling her share back to Pitt, but when talks fell through, Pitt resorted to legal action.

Jolie's initial demands included Pitt revealing communications with third parties regarding an alleged altercation on an aircraft, where she alleges he "grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall." Though the couple hasn't discussed the any of these allegations publicly, their children have been estranged from the Wolfs actor for years, with his daughter Shiloh even filing to legally drop his last name earlier this year.
