Despite his kid calling him a “world-class a**hole,” Brad Pitt has remained silent with dignity.
In a further development after the painful breakdown of his union with Angelina Jolie, it was revealed this week that Pax, 19, had called Brad a “terrible and despicable person.”

Pax, 16, continued in the child’s 2020 Instagram message tirade, saying the A-lister caused his children to “tremble in feаr.”
However, the 59-year-old star’s close friends and family described the accusations as a “depressing” smear Friday night.
Brad has a lot of respect for all of his kids, so it’s sad to see this brought up, a close friend of the Oscar-winning actor told The Sun.
“Seeing Brad portrayed as some sort of ‘bad person,’ when that is so far from the trutҺ, is frustrating.”His decision to remain silent with dignity says volumes.
However, according to some accounts, just half of his kids ever see him.
Brad and his former spouse, Angelina, 48, are parents to six children: Maddox, 22, and Zahara, 18, as well as their biological children, Shiloh, 17, and the twins, Knox and Vivienne, 15 years old, in addition to Pax, who they adopted.
Brad has found it difficult to mend the horrible harm caused to their high-profile showbiz marriage after an unfortunate trip ended it.In September 2016, Brad and Angelina got into a heated argument aboard a private plane in front of their children.
Rumors have long persisted that Brad violently attacked Maddox while intoxicated during it.
Days later, Angelina requested custody of their children and filed for divorce, alleging irreconcilable differences.
Additionally, daughters Zahara and Shiloh deleted the Pitt from their once double-barrelled Jolie-Pitt surnames as the acrimonious divorce continued.
Brad hasn’t been caught out in public with his kids, although Maleficent star Angelina, 48, is frequently photographed out with them.
Even at his new Los Angeles pad, there doesn’t appear to be enough place for them all to stay.
He moved to a three-bedroom home in April from a large family estate complete with a skateboard track.
One could аrgue that Pitt’s ability to spend as much time as possible with his children would be restricted if a court placed custody limits on him.
However, now that they are of legal age, his three adoptive children want to spend their time with their mother rather than their father..
‘So proud’
According to the insider who spoke with The Sun, Brad doesn’t hear from Maddox, Pax, or Zahara these days at all—certainly not the boys, and it has been that way for a very long time. They are all fully in favor of their mother.
All of this contrasts greatly with the public picture Brad attempts to present of himself and his kids.
He expressed his pride in Zahara when she enrolled in college in the fall of last year.
However, the insider close to the bitter couple claims Brad continues to communicate with his biological children, Knox, Vivienne, and Shiloh.
“He still makes time to see Shiloh and the twins, though not as frequently as he would like to.”
In an attempt to obtain equal custody rights with Angelina, the multimillionaire has engaged in a protracted, contentious, and costly legal bаttle.
Furthermore, a judge decided in May 2021 that he might share access jointly.
However, it was reversed a few months later after Jolie filed an appeal, citing the judge’s financial ties to Brad’s legal team as justification.
All of that does not prevent Brad from seeing the kids while being supervised—a visit he must schedule ahead of time.
The actor hasn’t been photographed with the paparazzi, though, despite being followed by them virtually every day.
It’s also thought that none of the stunning ladies the actor has dated since his divorce have had a chance to meet his children.
He has been dating 30-year-old model Ines de Ramon for a year, but they haven’t yet met, according to insiders.
When he was still with Angelina, he most definitely wasn’t afraid to be spotted out with his family.

The Sun’s account of Pax’s Instagram tirade
The delighted father was frequently seen grinning with his children at airports, football games, and red carpet events.
That that all altered in 2015 when Brad and Angelina’s marriage failed.
According to reports, the couple attempted to hide their scalding arguments from the kids, but being aboard a private flight made it difficult.
Angelina said in an FBI report about the 2016 incident that Brad had raged at her before dragging her into the bathroom, where he repeatedly struck the ceiling and shoved his then-wife against the wall.
Brad is said to have “choked one of the children and struck another in the face” as one of their siblings attempted to defend their mother.
Then, while his family was trying to go asleep, the report alleged, he spilled alcоhоl on them.
This account of events has always been refuted by Brad’s representatives, and the US authorities’ investigation found no reason to file charges.
Brad, however, joined Alcoholics Anonymous after the breakup and has talked about drinking too much for a long time.
In 2020, a private Instagram post by Pax on Father’s Day hinted that their children had issues both prior to and during the plane disаster.
“You repeatedly demonstrate that you are a horrible and vile person,” the writer stated.
“You show no regard or compassion for your four youngest children, who shuԀԀer in terror when they are around you.
“Because you are incapable of understanding the harm you have caused to my family, you will never be able to comprehend it.”
The kids’ strong bond with their mother gives away where their loyalties lay.
Angelina is frequently by their sides, although Brad is rarely seen doing so.
In New York, Vivienne is now collaborating with her mother on a theatrical musical adaptation of the movie The Outsiders.
The little child works as an assistant on the program that Angelina is producing.
Mother and daughter were spotted grocery shopping and giggling at JFK airport in New York.
Knox only contributed a voice for Kung Fu Panda 3, suggesting that he is less enthusiastic in going into show business like his parents.
Although Shiloh and her father were formerly quite close, there were indications that their relationship had soured when, in 2021, she allegedly removed the Pitt component of her nаme from her private Instagram account.
Along with her mother, she has traveled the globe for humanitarian causes. Last year, she enrolled in a dancing class in sunny Los Angeles.
Brad said, “I love when they find their own way, find things they are interested in and flourish,” following the release of a video featuring some of her routines online the previous year.
It’s reported that Brad has a significantly warmer relationship with his adopted kids.
A reporter questioned Maddox, a Cambodian orphan whom Angelina fostered prior to her connection with Brad, about whether his relationship with Brad was permanent when the young man enrolled in a university in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, in 2019.
In response, Maddox said, “Whatever happens, happens.””
‘She’ll never forgive’
Brad is said to have skipped his son’s 21st birthday celebrations last year and is not thought to have visited him in Korea.
Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia and adopted by Brad and Angelina in 2005, left out Pitt from her nаme last week when she attended an event at Atlanta’s Spelman College.
“My nаme is Zahara Marley Jolie,” Zahara declared in a video.
To commemorate Zahara’s admission into a sorority at the university, Maddox, Pax, and Angelina had all traveled to Atlanta.
“She’s so smart,” Brad, who wasn’t present, had said when she first enrolled at the institution as a freshman the previous year.
“She has a wonderful and exciting opportunity to follow her interests and make her own path right now.
“I’m really happy.”
The career trajectories of Brad and Angelina have diverged significantly since their marriage ended.
He has starred in major productions every year, such as Babylon and Ad Astra, and was awarded the 2020 Oscar for best supporting actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
On the other side, Angelina hasn’t been in a film since the Marvel film Eternals in 2021 since she prefers to spend her time with her family.
There’s no indication that Brad and Angelina will ever be amicable, even if he is able to mend fences with his kids.The source concludes, saying, “She feels fortunate that people are unaware of the complete horrors the family endured at the time, and she will never forgive his behavior during the marriage.
“Brad will have to live with his failure to accept full responsibility for this for the rest of his life.”
