Who can forget 2016 when Brad Pitt's reps were in the throes of huge damage control following unsettling disclosures from FBI files regarding his alleged aggressive, intoxicated behavior during an iconic private jet journey with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie and their six children?

The reps were quite successful, since fans are divided as to whom to believe.

And...He was not even indicted at the time.  "The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services cleared him of any child abuse allegations almost immediately," US Weekly reported then.

 However, fresh information sheds light on the severity of Brad Pitt's maltreatment of his children, and it's confusing how he could be cleared that time.

Page Six discovered that during the iconic aircraft battle with Angelina Jolie, the actor not only abused the children, but also choked one of them. Choking is not a joke; it may be fatal. 

Maybe this could REALLY explain why so soon after their marriage, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt filed for a divorce. They were together for so long prior to that marriage one can distinctively remember the couple being "the goal" of many who idolized them. 

Or why Maddox refuses to talk to him even now. Or the kids chose to be with their mom rather than their dad...

According to records acquired by Page Six, the Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood actor "choked one child and struck another in the face." "during the conflict. According to the petition, Pitt also "grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her." 

It was previously reported on RadarOnline.com that the reportedly intoxicated actor was accused of spilling beer on Angelina Jolie, and now its discovered he's also accused of throwing fluids on their children. 

Based on the countersuit, Jolie attempted to intercede at one point and "grabbed" her then-husband from behind in an attempt to stop him. 

To get Jolie off his back, Pitt allegedly flung himself backwards into the airplane seats, causing back and elbow injuries to Jolie, based on these court filings. 

The children rushed in and valiantly attempted to shield one another. Pitt choked one of the children and hit another in the face before the fight ended. A number of the children begged Pitt to stop. They were all terrified and were even crying.  

People believe they can see why a highly renowned actor like Pitt, who has had a Hollywood Golden Boy reputation for decades, would wish to keep details about his allegedly threatening behavior on the flight from France to Los Angeles buried in FBI archives for so long. 

According to one commenter on the DeuxMoi Reddit thread, she is the one viewed as destroying their family while his horrible ass terrorizes them in a tight space thousands of feet in the air, damaging the furniture, touching his wife and children, pouring alcohol on her while she sleeps, and finally screaming and suffering a nervous breakdown when the plane arrives. But like most cases, the woman is being blamed. 

It remains to be seen how Brad Pitt's reps are going to handle these new allegations now.
