A source close to the actor said to Page Six, "He was never physically abusive to her or the kids. He did yell at one of their children on the plane during an argument, but he didn't hit the child. Brad is denying claims of inappropriate behavior."

According to Radar Online, Pitt's pal claimed that his wife Jolie - mother of their six children is waging a nasty campaign against him for personal reasons and not just because she is interested in the safety of the kids.

"Angelina is putting out (the abuse) story to take the kids away from him," the source told Page Six.

The Los Angeles Police Department was claimed to be investigating the issue however, LAPD has denied it. And under California law, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services cannot confirm or deny anything.
