The Los Angeles Police Department says it's not investigating Brad Pitt in the wake of Thursday reports from TMZ and People that alleged the actor was involved in an incident of abuse aboard a private jet last week. Both outlets originally reported that the LAPD and LA County Department of Children and Family Services were investigating Pitt.
"We have no criminal investigation against Mr. Pitt," Sgt. Barry Montgomery, an LAPD spokesman, told Business Insider on the phone Thursday morning. "As of right now, we're getting a lot of calls, and the story is the same. We know of no investigation involving Mr. Pitt. We are not actively investigating Mr. Pitt.
