Some of the children pleaded with him to stop.

In September 2016, the Oscar-winning actor was investigated by the FBI for alleged child abuse, but authorities decided not to file criminal charges against him.
According to Jolie's lawyers, the agents who investigated the case had "good cause to charge Pitt with a federal crime for his conduct" on the day of the incident on the plane.
In fact, the alleged plane dispute made the leading actress of “Tomb Raider” request a divorce from the actor after eleven years of relationship, two of them as husband and wife.
The countersuit filed on Tuesday responds to an earlier lawsuit by Pitt against Jolie for the sale of their interest in the winery, which they had acquired a decade earlier, to a subsidiary of the Stoli Group without their consent.
The interpreter had previously alleged that she sold her stake after talks between the two broke down because Pitt had tried to "condition the deal."
According to the actress's story, he asked her to sign an agreement not to reveal details about "physical and emotional abuse" towards her and her children, which was not accepted and led to the total distance and legal battle they currently maintain.
