AP Source: Brad Pitt allegations relate to treatment of son
LOS ANGELES — Allegations Brad Pitt was abusive on a private plane last week relate to the actor’s treatment toward his 15-year-old son, sources said Friday, as the FBI continued to gather information before determining whether to open an investigation.
FBI Spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the agency hasn’t made a decision on a formal investigation into what occurred on a plane ferrying Pitt, his wife Angelina Jolie Pitt and their six children.
Several news outlets have reported that a child welfare agency in Los Angeles is investigating the well-being of the children, who range in ages from 8 to 15.
Sources familiar with the allegations, but not authorized to speak publicly, say the child welfare investigation centres on Pitt’s treatment of his son Maddox, 15, during an argument during the Sept. 14 flight. No law enforcement agency responded to the plane when it landed in Minnesota after the incident.
