FBI says it’s evaluating abuse allegations against Pitt
LOS ANGELES — The FBI is gathering information about an incident involving Brad Pitt and his family aboard a private flight last week, the agency confirmed Thursday.
Spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the agency is still evaluating whether to open an investigation into allegations Pitt was abusive during the flight toward one of his six children with actress Angelina Jolie Pitt, as several media outlets have reported.
The reports from anonymous sources state the actor is under investigation by a child welfare agency because of the Sept. 14 incident. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Families refused to say whether it was investigating Pitt.
A representative for Pitt declined comment Thursday.
