Brad Pitt is deeply concerned by the offensive comment by his son Pax whom he adopted at an orphanage in Vietnam when he had been dumped as a newborn by his heroin-addicted biological mother.
19-year-old Pax called his father a ‘world-class a**hole’ and ‘despicable person’ who makes his four youngest children ‘tremble in fear’ in an explosive Instagram rant.
The rant was accompanied by a photo of Pitt receiving an Oscar for best-supporting actor and posted on Pax’s private Instagram story on Father’s Day 2020.
“Happy Father’s Day to this world-class a**hole! You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you’re incapable of doing so,” Pax wrote.
“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 f**king awful human being!!!” He added.
The four youngest children, who Pax claimed Pitt made tremble is Zahara, now 18, and the couple’s three biological children, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie adopted Pax from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2007. He was three years old and had been dumped as a newborn by his heroin-addicted biological mother.
Brad formally adopted him the following year.
Brad Pitt is said to have found it ‘depressing that his adopted son branded him a ‘world-class a**hole’ and ‘f***ing awful human’ in the explosive Instagram post.
“It’s frustrating to see Brad being painted as some kind of bad person when it’s far from the truth,” an insider told The Sun.
The source added that Pitt has ‘great respect’ for each one of his children and says it speaks volumes that he chooses to keep a dignified silence about the situation.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt met on the set of the hit movie ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ in 2005 while he was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
The duo insisted at the time that there was no infidelity but after a picture emerged of them on a beach in Kenya with her adopted son Maddox, Aniston filed for divorce.
Brad and Jolie got married in a private ceremony in France in 2014.
Jolie and Brad’s fairytale romance fell apart in 2016 and the couple once known as ‘Brangelina’ have been embroiled in acrimonious battles ever since.
Their divorce was finalized in 2019, and although Jolie initially had full custody of the children, an agreement was thrashed out in 2021 that allowed Pitt to have them 50 per cent of the time.
But shortly afterwards, a judge in charge of the case was revealed to have close business relationships with Pitt’s lawyers.
As a result, he was disqualified from the case and custody was returned to Jolie with Pitt allowed ‘custodial visits’ only.
Pitt was also investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services over child abuse allegations following the alleged altercation with his son Maddox on a private jet five days before Jolie filed for divorce.
Maddox is said to have stood up for Jolie during a fight between his parents.
A source later told People, Brad had been drunk at the time and that there was an argument between him and Jolie.
