Pitt Visits Maddox With Supervision From Therapist
Brad Pitt reportedly met on Wednesday his eldest adopted son, 15-year-old Maddox, but with the supervision from a therapist. The supervised visit from Pitt is part of an initial custodial agreement with estranged wife, Angelina Jolie.
Reports say that Wednesday's visit was the first after the father and the son had a bickering on September 14 while on board their private jet plane during their flight home from Nice, France. An unidentified person allegedly called the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), accusing Brad Pitt of being verbally and physically abusive to Maddox.
But Pitt denied being physically abusive to Maddox in a report from NY Mag, where a source was quoted saying, "Pitt was drunk and there was argument between him and Angelina. There was a parent-child argument which was not handled in the right way and escalated more than it should have."
But agents from Federal Bureau of Investigation reportedly went to Angelina Jolie's house in Malibu for a "fact-finding" task, where Maddox and Jolie answered all of the agents' questions about the Sep. 14 incident. They were said to have lingered on the name of the place where the altercation happened in mid-air. Reports say the determination of the place would determine jurisdiction. The report clarified however that there is no investigation by the FBI yet.
In an article from TMZ, Brad Pitt's meet up with Maddox was originally planned earlier together with the other children, but when Maddox refused to see his father, the therapist supposedly commented the timing was not yet right.
Earlier, Angelina Jolie shocked the public when she filed for divorce against Brad Pitt, citing it is for the best of their children. She also asserted sole personal custody of their 6 children and joint legal custody. Pitt is said to have been drinking and smoking weeds which affect his behavior, especially towards their children.
