In the aftermath of his 2016 separation from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt found himself estranged from his six children, with no contact established since then.
Jolie, already the adoptive mother of Maddox and Zahara, welcomed their first biological child, Shiloh, in 2006. A year later, Pax, adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage, joined the family, followed by twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008. Despite the expansion of their family, the couple's union unraveled in 2016, leading to a highly publicized separation marked by mutual accusations.
The rift between Pitt and his children, exacerbated over the years, recently came to light through a harsh Instagram post attributed to his son Pax. According to the Daily Mail, Pax expressed scathing sentiments on Father's Day three years ago, underscoring his stance in the protracted parental battle.
"Happy Father's Day to this world-class idiot! Time and time again, you continue to prove that you are a horrible and despicable person," Pax declared on social media. He accused his father of lacking consideration and empathy for his younger siblings, stating, "You have no consideration or empathy for your four minor children, who tremble with fear every time they are in your presence."
Pax went on to express the profound impact on their family, asserting, "You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so. You turned the lives of those close to you into a constant hell." The post concluded with a damning statement: "So happy Father's Day, you f***ing horrible human being," accompanied by a photo of Pitt receiving the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood."
The British newspaper not only provided screenshots of Pax's post but also confirmed its authenticity through a source. The account, reportedly belonging to Brad and Angelina's son, is primarily used for interactions with friends, making this public condemnation a surprising departure from Pax's usual reserved demeanor.
This revelation comes seven years after the infamous plane incident, a pivotal event that Angelina cited as a catalyst for their divorce. Alleging physical and verbal abuse during the flight, Jolie recounted disturbing details of Pitt's behavior. Despite initial investigations by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, no charges were ultimately filed in connection with the incident.
