Brad Pitt on Wednesday contradicted his ex-wife Angelina Jolie's allegations that she and at least two of their six children were abused on board a private jet in the fall of 2016.

"The allegations are completely false," Pitt, 58, told the New York Post through a spokesman.

In a counterclaim to the alleged illegal sale of her half of the Château Miraval winery, 47-year-old Oscar winner Jolie said a few days ago that Pitt grabbed and shook her before choking one child and punching another in the face.

A few days after the argument during the return flight from southern France to Los Angeles, the actress ("Maleficent - The Dark Fairy") filed for divorce six years ago.
