Brad Pitt, Hollywood star and father of six, is reportedly grappling with allegations that his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, played a part in their son Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt’s critical Father’s Day social media post in 2020. The leaked post, where Pax referred to his father as a “world-class a**hole,” has resurfaced, leading to Pitt’s belief that Jolie may have had a hand in orchestrating the scathing remarks.
According to In Touch Weekly, sources claim that Brad Pitt firmly believes that Angelina Jolie was aware of Pax’s intentions when posting the disparaging message on his Instagram account. Pitt suspects that Jolie deliberately allowed their son to vent his feelings publicly, possibly as a means to tarnish Pitt’s image permanently.
The former power couple has been engaged in a protracted legal battle over the custody of their children under the age of 18 – Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox. Despite ongoing negotiations, Jolie reportedly “refuses to budge an inch,” leaving Pitt frustrated and convinced that she may be prolonging the legal ordeal until their twins come of legal age.
The ongoing legal disputes have purportedly made it challenging for Brad Pitt to fulfill his role as a father, with the actor expressing a desire to be more present in all of his children’s lives. However, Pitt alleges that Jolie’s resistance to compromise has hindered his attempts to establish a stronger connection with his kids. Pitt believes this may be a contributing factor to his older children – Maddox, Pax, and Zahara – distancing themselves from him.
Despite the challenges, sources claim that Brad Pitt remains hopeful that his relationship with Zahara and her siblings can be repaired. Pitt reportedly wishes for his children to have the opportunity to form their own opinions about him and hopes they will see him for who he truly is, beyond the legal battles and public drama.
As the custody battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continues, the alleged involvement of Jolie in their son’s critical social media post adds a new layer of complexity to their already tumultuous relationship. The actor strives to be a better parent amid the legal challenges, aiming for reconciliation and understanding with his children, particularly those who have distanced themselves due to the ongoing family disputes.
