Brad Pitt Reportedly Under Investigation for Child Abuse [Updated]
LatestBoth TMZ and People magazine are reporting that Brad Pitt is currently under investigation for child abuse by the LAPD and the LA Department of Child Services concerning an incident that occurred aboard the couple’s private plane last week.
The incident, TMZ reports, occurred last Wednesday—the day before the date Jolie listed as the couple’s official date of separation. The couple were flying with their children when Pitt got “wasted on the private jet,” according to TMZ:
He allegedly went wild, screaming and getting physical with the kids.
We’re told the plane landed at an airport around 8 PM, and witnesses say Pitt continued his rant on the tarmac, and even tried leaving in one of the fuel trucks.
Our sources say someone either on the plane or the tarmac anonymously reported the incident to the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services. We’re told Brad and Angelina have already been interviewed and DCFS plans to interview the kids as well. That investigation is ongoing.
The alleged abuse was verbal and physical, both TMZ and People report, citing a source “close to Pitt” who also gave the same quote to both outlets:
