Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Divorce Update: FBI won’t charge Brad on alleged child abuse claims
After appearing on the red carpet premiere for his latest movie "Allied," Brad Pitt surely has a lot of reasons to be thankful about despite the controversy his family is currently facing. It was said that he is finally free of those child abuse allegations against him.
According to Cinema Blend, the FBI has made an official statement saying that Pitt won't be charged for the current allegations against him. The child abuse allegations rose after his fight with his oldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt on the family's private plane.
The FBI was involved in the case for two months and looked into the claims that Pitt was verbally and physically abusive towards their 15-year-old son during the flight from France to Los Angeles. It was said that this pushed Jolie to file for divorce last September.
iTech Post reported that Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Los Angeles field office said in a statement that the FBI has already conducted a review of the circumstances and has decided to not file any charges against Pitt. She also said that the FBI will not pursue further investigation of the matter.
This official statement of the FBI follows the statement of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services which also cleared Pitt from child abuse allegations. It was said that the department was considerate of the situation that happened inside the plane and concluded that there was no instance of child abuse that happened.
With that, this might help his custody case against Jolie for their six children. After filing for divorce, Jolie filed for sole physical custody of their six children, granting Pitt only visitation rights. Will this give him an advantage in winning his case?
There were a lot of speculations that Pitt is delaying paperwork in order to stall his impending custody battle with Jolie. Now that he has been cleared of the child abuse allegations, it is expected that the proceedings will begin soon.
