Brad Pitt is having a really bad week. And it’s been a thousand times worse for his kids.

Brad Pitt’s life just keeps getting worse. Not only has his wife Angelina Jolie filed for divorce, but now he’s being investigated for child abuse. The Oscar winning actor reportedly verbally abused his children during a tense private flight last week.

According to TMZ, Brad Pitt was on a private jet with Angelina Jolie and their six children last Wednesday when all hell broke loose. Brad was allegedly drinking too much when he went off the deep end. Pitt reportedly began screaming and getting physical with the children.

The private jet landed around 8 PM, but Brad’s rant didn’t stop there. Pitt allegedly continued his tirade while on the tarmac, and even tried to leave in one of the fuel trucks. Unfortunately for the actor, someone saw his behavior and reported it to the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. Agents from the department have already interviewed Brad and Angelina, and plan to speak with the children in the near future.

Angelina Jolie is said to have left Brad Pitt the day after the alleged abuse incident. The actress filed for divorce from her husband of two years a few days later. Jolie is now seeking full physical custody of all six children, leaving Pitt with nothing but visitation.
