The FBI has concluded its review of a murky September incident involving actor Brad Pitt and his children aboard an airplane, and no charges will be brought in the case, a bureau spokeswoman said Tuesday.
A representative for Pitt declined to comment.
The incident the FBI was reviewing occurred on Sept. 14 — the day before the actor officially separated from his wife, fellow Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie. TMZ reported — though it was not confirmed by officials — that Pitt “allegedly went wild, screaming and getting physical with the kids.”
The FBI had jurisdiction over the matter because its agents investigate incidents that occur on airplanes.
Pitt’s highly publicized split with Jolie has created something of a public-relations nightmare in recent months, though the closure of the FBI’s review with no charges is the latest in a series of good news for the actor. Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, which had also reportedly been looking into purported airplane misbehavior, had closed its case with no finding of abuse.
Pitt’s new movie, “Allied,” will be released Wednesday.
Jolie, in her divorce filing, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the couple parting ways, but she notably listed Sept. 15 — the day after the airplane incident — as the date of separation. TMZ reported that the incident “triggered” the separation.
