Brad Pitt's Relationship with Children Deteriorates

Brad Pitt's relationships with his children appear to be strained, with many distancing themselves. Reports indicate a breakdown in the bond with Pax Thien, who has expressed strong negative feelings towards the actor. Son of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 19-year-old Pax called his father a "world-class asshole" who makes his four younger children "tremble with fear" in an "explosive rant" on Instagram* posted on Father's Day in 2020, reports the Daily Mail. "You turned the lives of those closest to me into a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come out someday. Happy Father's Day, you f***ing awful human being," he wrote. In his post, Pax called his adoptive father a "world-class asshole," adding: "You have proven time and time again that you are a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy for your four youngest children who tremble with fear when you are present. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so." Maddox, Shiloh, and Zahara have also reportedly distanced themselves, choosing to use only Angelina Jolie's last name. Allegations of Pitt's behavior, including a 2016 incident on a private jet, are cited as contributing factors. Sources close to both Pitt and Jolie offer conflicting perspectives, with Pitt reportedly blaming Jolie for the situation and Jolie's camp pointing to Pitt's actions as the cause.
