Angelina Jolie and Pax Jolie-Pitt
A resurfaced rant about Brad Pitt by his son, Pax Jolie-Pitt, is making its rounds—and in the Instagram screenshot, Pax reportedly slammed his dad as an “awful human being.”
Pax, 19, who was adopted at age 3 from Vietnam by Angelina Jolie in 2007 (and later by Pitt in 2008), reportedly posted a scathing message about Pitt on Father’s Day 2020.
“Happy Father’s Day to this world class a–hole!!” the message read, overlain a photo of Pitt accepting an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. “You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person.”
Pax, who was 16 when he reportedly posted the Instagram Story, continued: “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’re incapable of doing so.”
In his post, Pax claimed Pitt “made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell.”
He added: “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.”
Parade reached out to Pitt’s representative but did not immediately hear back.
A source confirmed to the Daily Mail that the private account in the screen shot belongs to Pax.
“It’s the account he uses for friends—friends from school mostly,” the source reportedly told the publication. “He never says much about his parents, keeps himself to himself, so that was unusual.”
It’s unclear why the message is now circulating. However, it does come almost two months after Jolie addressed her family’s “healing” journey in Vogue.
“We had a lot of healing to do,” she said in September, without sharing specifics. “We’re still finding our footing.”
She further shared in the publication, “I was 26 when I became a mother. My entire life changed. Having children saved me—and taught me to be in this world differently.”
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in August 2016 following an alleged altercation on a private jet; they were finally declared legally single in April 2019.
In October 2022, Pitt’s attorney, Anne Kiley, said to E! News in defense of her client’s character, “Brad has owned everything he’s responsible for from day one—unlike the other side—but he’s not going to own anything he didn’t do. He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation.”
