Brad Pitt ‘cleared’ of abuse allegation
Print Edition
FILM star Brad Pitt has been cleared of abuse allegations in a child welfare investigation and has asked a court to grant him shared custody of his six children with his estranged wife, actress Angelina Jolie, a source close to the matter said on Wednesday.
Pitt, 52, fully cooperated in a comprehensive inquiry conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, which found no wrongdoing on his part, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Hollywood power couple, dubbed “Brangelina” during their decadelong romance, split following an incident on a private plane in which Pitt was reported to have lost his temper.
According to celebrity news website TMZ.com, Jolie accused Pitt of striking their eldest son, Maddox.
Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from the actor, her husband of two years and romantic partner since 2005, in September, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking full physical custody of their children, aged 8 to 15.
At the time, the Oscar-winning actress said her decision to end the marriage “was made for the health of the family.”
Their children include two adopted sons, Maddox from Cambodia and Pax from Vietnam, an adopted daughter from Ethiopia, Zahara, and three biological children, Shiloh Nouvel and twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.
The Department of Children and Family Services declined to comment on the matter, citing confidentiality laws.
