Ladies and gentlemen, another reason has emerged in the very controversial divorce of the year. Angelina Jolie reportedly filed for a divorce with husband Brad Pitt after the latter got verbally and physically abusive with one of his children while on a plane from Europe.
Sources say that the Pitt family was on board their private jet when the patriarch got wasted and started getting wild, screaming and "getting physical with the children," TMZ reported. Brad Pitt was even reportedly seen out of control at the tarmac.
This prompted someone to report the "Benjamin Button" actor to the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services. The case has been deferred to the FBI. Spokeswoman of FBI Laura Eimiller said to USA Today that "the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued."
The "World War Z" actor is very cooperative of the ongoing investigation. "He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children," a source said.
Is this just the work of people ruining his image? A source said that it is. "But he'll always do whatever is best for his kids. Despite being on the receiving end of an onslaught of allegations, he remains focused on doing whatever is best for the children," the source added.
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." The "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-stars both said they are asking for privacy while dealing with the sensitive matter. But the people can't help but wonder why the almost perfect couple called it quits. Third party, in the persona of Brad Pitt's co-actor in movie "Allied" Marion Cotillard, has been the floating reason but this was shut by "The Dark Knight Rises" actress saying she has nothing to do with the divorce.
The two have been married for just two year, but they have been together for 12 years. They have six children, with a 15-year-old being the eldest.
