Brad breaks his silence on Angelina split as he’s cleared of abuse claims

Brad Pitt has made his first red carpet appearance since his former partner, Angelina Jolie, shockingly filed for divorce in September.

Yesterday evening, the 52-year-old star signed autographs for fans at the premiere of his new movie, Allied, before telling E! News that he was thankful for the support of his followers.

“It’s really sweet, everyone has been really kind out here,” said Brad.  “It’s really nice to have all the support.”

The actor’s comments came just hours after TMZ reported that he had been cleared of abuse allegations by the LA County Department of Children and Family Services.

Earlier this week, a rep for Brad’s ex, Angelina, confirmed that the former couple have reached a custody agreement for their six children.

The statement clarified that the Maleficent actress is currently the primary caregiver of Shiloh, Maddox, Zahara, Vivienne, Knox and Pax, who are continuing to attend therapeutic visits with their father.
