Angelina Jolie, 41, reportedly told social workers from the LA County Department of Children and Family Services, who are currently investigating Brad Pitt, 52, that he hit their son Maddox, 15, in the face, according to TMZ. So awful! The actress was completely honest with DCFS because she reportedly wanted to get the whole story straight; rumors have spread that Brad simply “lunged” at Maddox and accidentally “connected” with his shoulder when Angelina got in the way of their altercation — not that he struck his son.
But despite being open about this incident, Angelina is reportedly going to go “radio silent” if the department attempts to build a criminal case against Brad, according to sources who spoke to TMZ. What? Her goal in reporting the alleged abuse wasn’t to punish Brad, allegedly, but to ensure that her kids are safe and happy.

Other reports indicate that Brad and Pax, 12, got into a screaming match, and Maddox got into the middle of it. Angelina was screaming hysterically, to the point where workers on the tarmac at the airport could allegedly hear the fight on the plane! There’s no word on if Angelina told the DCFS workers about any of this.
AS of now, Brad and Angelina have reportedly reached a temporary custody agreement for their six kids — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and the twins, Knox, 8, and Vivienne, 8. Angelina will reportedly have sole physical custody, and Brad will have visitation under the supervision of a therapist. He’ll reportedly undergo random drug and alcohol testing, as well. They’ll work things out from there!
