The Daily Mail did what the Daily Mail does and dug up an old social media rant from Pax Jolie-Pitt about his estranged dad, Brad Pitt. The (private) Instagram Story was posted on Father’s Day 2020, when Pax was 16. Over a picture of Brad accepting an Oscar, Pax wrote:
Happy Father’s Day to this world class asshole!! You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy toward your 4 youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so.You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, Happy Father’s Day, you fucking awful human being!!
Daaamn, get him, Pax! Angelina Jolie adopted Pax, now 19, in 2007. Brad officially adopted him the following year. Before Pax, Angelina adopted Maddox, 22, in 2001 and Zahara, 18, in 2005. Brad adopted both kids in early 2006, about a year after he and Angelina got together. The couple welcomed baby Shiloh, 17, in 2006, followed by twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, in 2008. Six kids in total. When Pax writes that Brad’s “4 youngest children” are afraid of him, he’s referring to Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins.
Brad has not been photographed with any of his children since 2016, when Angelina filed for divorce and Brangelina ceased to exist. In the years that followed, we learned that Angelina left Brad after a terrifying incident on a private plane.
According to Angelina (whom I believe 100%), a drunken Brad “grabbed her by her head,” “grabbed her by the shoulders,” shook her, pushed her into the bathroom wall, and yelled, “You’re f-king up this family!” When the kids asked their mom if she was OK, Brad allegedly screamed, “No, Mommy’s not OK. She’s ruining this family. She’s crazy!” That’s when one of the kids (probably Maddox) said, “It’s not her, it’s you, you prick.”
Angelina says an enraged Brad ran toward Maddox “like he was going to attack.” At that point, Angelina got her husband into a chokehold, which he tried to get out of by throwing himself back and pushing her into the chairs behind him. Oh, he also poured beer on Angelina, red wine on the children, and said one of them looked “like a f-ing Columbine kid.”
In the years that followed, there were rumblings about the plane ride from hell. But we, the nosy public, did not get any specific details until 2022. After Brad sued Angelina for selling her share of their French winery, Angelina countersued Brad for physically abusing her and the kids on the plane.
When the court docs came out, Brad’s team was all (and please note I’m paraphrasing), “Oh please, this was six years ago, Angelina’s only bringing this up cuz she wants publicity.” Which… sort of worked? Cuz Brad is still a movie star and People magazine still loves him. And, as we all know, as People goes, so goes the nation.
Unfortunately for Brad, his ex-wife and six children will never forget what he did to them. How could they?
