Brad Pitt is alleged to have hit one of his children and choked another during a fight with then wife Angelina Jolie on a private plane.
The former couple, once one of Hollywood’s highest-profile pairings, have been embroiled in a lengthy dispute over their marriage, custody of their six children and shared assets, including a French winery.

The allegations against Brad Pitt have arisen in the context of a dispute over the winery.
In court papers lodged by Jolie in the US, she made allegations about what happened after the couple rowed on a plane.
The documents state: “Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some pleaded with Pitt to stop.
“They were all frightened. Many were crying.”
At one stage in the fight “he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children” the filing alleges.
Jolie alleges that the confrontation began in the plane’s bathroom when Pitt said Jolie was “too deferential” to the children.
“Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall,” the suit says.
“When one of the children verbally defended Jolie, Pitt lunged at his own child and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him,” it adds.
The suit then alleges that: “The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other.
“Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face.
“Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened. Many were crying.”
A representative for Pitt denied the allegations, slamming them as “another rehash that only harms the family”.
