Brad Pitt remains silent after being called a “bad person” by his adopted son Pax Thien.
On Pagesix on November 22, a source close to the actor said: “Seven years have passed since Jolie and Pitt broke up. It’s a shame that people are trying to drag children into this when there’s no need to bring up past issues.”
The source added that the actor is only interested in the truth and will continue to keep quiet. Since the divorce, he has rarely mentioned his children in the media and has never appeared together.
According to the Daily Mail on November 21, Pax Thien is said to have used his personal Instagram account to write about Pitt in 2020: “Happy Father’s Day to the world-class bastard. You have shown yourself time and time again to be a terrible, despicable person. You have no concern or sympathy for my four siblings, who are always trembling and afraid when they see you. You will never understand how much damage you have done to my family, because you are incapable of understanding. You have made the lives of those closest to me hell. Tell the world what you want, but one day the truth will be revealed.”

Along with his thoughts, Pax Thien posted a photo of the actor receiving the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). The source said that Pax Thien set up this social media account in private mode to connect with friends, rarely mentioning his parents. Until now, Pax Thien has not had an Instagram account open to the public. Angelina Jolie has not commented on the information.
Over the years, the couple’s children have rarely mentioned their father, but are said to be unhappy with Pitt. On November 16, while introducing herself to members of Spelman College’s Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Pax Thien’s younger sister Zahara said she was “Zahara Marley Jolie,” dropping the Pitt surname from her name.
During the couple’s 2021 custody trial, eldest son Maddox testified against the actor. A source told US Weekly : “Maddox did not use the last name Pitt in the petition, but only Jolie. Maddox wanted to change his last name, but Angelina Jolie did not support it.”
In October 2022, the star filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband for “choking one child and punching another in the face.” She said: “The children were brave and quickly tried to protect each other. They begged Pitt to stop. They were all scared and some were crying.”
Earlier, the couple argued on the plane. The star said her ex-husband grabbed her hair, shook her, and pushed her into the bathroom. He became angry with the children when they spoke up to defend their mother. Jolie said Pitt then poured beer and wine on her and the children. According to TMZ , the FBI investigated him for child abuse but did not pursue criminal charges, and Pitt denied the allegations.
