Brad Pitt accused of child abuse, FBI to investigate

September 23, 2016 01:51

Brad Pitt is being investigated after being accused of verbal and physical abuse against his children, according to multiple reports early Thursday.

Department of Children and Family Services spokesman Armand Montiel told USA Today by law the agency cannot confirm or deny investigations.

But TMZ reports the actor, whose wife Angelina Jolie filed for divorce Monday, is under investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services following an incident on a private jet.

TMZ says the case was referred over to the FBI on Thursday due to the fact that the alleged incident happened in the air while the family was on a plane from France last Wednesday.

In divorce documents, Jolie listed the couple's date of separation as the following day, September 15.
