Angelina Jolie has filed court papers which accuse her ex-husband Brad Pitt of abuse on a private plane.
The Hollywood star was flying with her family in 2016 when, she claims, Pitt grabbed her by the head and attacked two of their children while drunk.
Jolie also alleges that Pitt verbally abused his family and poured alcohol over them while flying from France to Los Angeles.

Pitt, meanwhile, denies all accusations.
Jolie’s lawyers allege that Pitt “pulled her into the bathroom” on the plane, with lawsuit papers stating: “Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall.
“Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom.”
He is then said to have “lunged at his own child” after they tried to verbally intervene in the altercation, with Jolie “grabbing him from behind to stop him”.
The lawsuit goes on to say that Pitt “threw himself backwards into the airplane’s seats” to “get Jolie off his back”, alleging that the move injured Angelina’s back and elbow.
The papers continue: “The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face."
Lawyers for Jolie say that she and her kids remained “still and silent under blankets” for the rest of the flight, though Pitt would “periodically emerge from the back of the plane to yell and swear at them”.
Lawyers also claim that he “poured beer on Jolie” and “poured beer and red wine on the children”.

The alleged incident was investigated in 2016 by the FBI, with authorities declining to press charges, and joint custody of the children was awarded to Pitt and Jolie in 2021.
A source close to Pitt, meanwhile, told the BBC: “[Jolie] continues to rehash, revise and reimagine her description of an event that happened six years ago by adding completely untrue information each time she fails to get what she wants.”
The pair are currently engaged in an ongoing lawsuit over their French home and vineyard, Chateau Miraval SA.
Pitt argues that the couple had agreed not to sell their stakes in the venue without permission of the other party, though Jolie disputes it and blames Pitt for ending property negotiations.
