Further developments in Brad and Angelina's divorce have come to light.

TMZ, who first broke the news about their divorce earlier this week, are now reporting that Brad Pitt is under investigation for child abuse. They are saying that he is is under investigation by the LAPD and L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services for "allegedly getting verbally abusive and physical with his children" and this is the reason for Angelina filing for divorce. The allegations are being brought against Brad following a family flight last week. TMZ are reporting that Brad was drinking on the flight and later went "wild, screaming and getting physical with the kids". Then when the plane landed he's reported to have continued to rant on the tarmac and even tried to drive off in one of the fuel trucks. It's believed someone on the plane or on the tarmac notified the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services who are now investigating the incident. TMZ have said that they were told Brad and Angelina have already been interviewed and that the children will be in due course. A source has said, "He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children. It's unfortunate that people involved are continuing to present him in the worst possible light."
