Brad Pitt makes first red carpet appearance following divorce news
Attends Allied screening in L.A. on day he's cleared of allegations of child abuse
Brad Pitt attended his first public red carpet since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from him in September.
He didn't have to face questions from the media though — the Los Angeles premiere of his new film Allied included only a brief Q&A on stage for publicity purposes.
After signing autographs and taking selfies with fans, Pitt said the reception was "really sweet."
"Everyone's been very kind out here," he said during the Q&A held outside the Regency Village Theatre. "It's really nice to have the support."
The 52-year-old star missed an L.A. film premiere in September of a documentary he narrated: Terrence Malick's Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience. It took place about a week after his divorce was announced.
Allied is a spy thriller about two assassins who fall in love during a Second World War mission. It also stars Marion Cotillard.
The screening comes on the same day as reports that a child abuse allegation against Pitt was unfounded.
An investigation into whether Brad Pitt was abusive toward his 15-year-old, Maddox, onboard a private flight in September has been closed, according to the Associated Press.
There was no finding of abuse by the actor.
Multiples sources have said the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services had been looking into the allegations.
Jolie is seeking sole custody of their six children, while Pitt is seeking joint custody. The couple reached a temporary custody agreement in which Jolie has full custody and Pitt has visitation rights.
