“Happy birthday you horrible man, world class asshole,” Pax wrote to his father, Brad Pitt, to wish him on “Father’s Day” in 2020, a post that revealed their strained relationship. However, this post has now been deleted.

“Happy Father’s Day to this world class cop… Year after year, time and time again, you prove to yourself that you are an awful and vile person. You have no appreciation or empathy for your 4 youngest children who tremble with fear when they are in front of you. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of it. You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant living hell. You can tell yourself and the world all you want, but the truth will come out someday. So, happy Father’s Day, you awful man…” Pax had written in his story, which he deleted immediately.

A source cited by the Daily Mail confirmed that the Instagram account where the controversial post was uploaded does indeed belong to Pax. “It’s the account he uses for friends from school mostly. He never says much about his parents, so this was unusual.”

Brat Pitt

Angelina Jolie adopted Pax from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in 2007, and Brad Pitt officially adopted him the following year. In 2016, the couple, just two years into their marriage, divorced and the children stayed with Angelina Jolie. Soon the reports were raging about a fight between Maddox, their eldest child, and Brad Pitt. But it seems that the Hollywood star did not have good relations with Pax either.

Their divorce was finalized in 2019, and although Jolie initially had full custody of the children, an agreement was reached in 2021 that allowed Pitt to have them half the time.

But shortly after, the judge in charge of the case was revealed to have close business ties with Pitt’s lawyers and so he was removed from the case and custody was returned to Angelina Jolie. Jolie recently accused the judge of mishandling her, as he was “corrupt” and “prejudiced” towards her and thus favored her ex-husband.

Pitt was also investigated by the FBI for child abuse allegations after the alleged altercation with Maddox on a private jet five days before Jolie filed for divorce. In her deposition, Jolie described her ex-husband’s violent outburst in September 2016 when he and their six children were flying from France to California.

“Pitt choked one of the children and punched another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her,” the filing states, adding that at one point he “poured beer on Jolie. In another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.” Despite pressure from Jolie to investigate the matter further, authorities have not decided on any criminal charges against Pitt. Just days after the family trip, Jolie filed for divorce.
