The FBI says it is gathering information before
deciding whether to launch a federal probe into an
alleged incident on a plane carrying Brad Pitt and
his children.
Allegations over a purported incident on the plane
emerged in the US media just days after 41-year-
old Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt and
sought custody of their six children.
“The FBI is continuing to gather facts and will
evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level
will be pursued,” the FBI said in a statement.
It did not offer any details of the allegations but
said the location was within US aircraft
jurisdiction, “specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr.
Brad Pitt and his children”.
The Los Angeles Police Department denied on
Thursday reports that the Pitt, 52, was under
investigation.
“We have no report in our record for any filings for
Brad Pitt, we are not having any investigations
regarding Brad Pitt,” police spokesman Lorenzo
Quezada told AFP.
The LA County Department of Children and Family
Services also denied that it had confirmed
allegations against Pitt to any media outlets.
Several US media outlets on Tuesday reported that
Pitt had been involved in an angry outburst with at
least one of his children.
The two actors are among America’s biggest film
stars. Together they came to be known as
“Brangelina” — Hollywood’s most glamorous and
celebrated couple in decades.
The A-listers wed in France in August two years
ago, but have been a couple since 2004.
They have three biological and three adopted
children together.
