Brad Pitt won’t react to son calling him ‘awful human being,’ prefers ‘dignified silence’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:36:52 GMT

Because Brad Pitt has “great respect for all of his children,” he will continue his stance of generally not commenting on them to the media, even after news broke Monday that his second son Pax Jolie-Pitt allegedly called him a “world-class a-hole” and an “awful human being” in a resurfaced social media post.Page Six cited a source close to the Oscar-winning actor who said that he has “no reaction” to a Daily Mail report, which published a screenshot of Pax Jolie Pitt’s private 2020 Instagram post. According to the screen shot, the then-16-year-old slammed Pitt on Father’s Day of that year, penning a screed over a photo of the actor accepting his Oscar several months earlier for his best supporting actor performance in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”FILES – A picture taken 12 November 2006 shows US actors Angelina Jolie (L), daughter Zahara (2L), husband Brad Pitt (R) and son Maddox taking a stroll on the seafront promenad...

Now I have 10 more things, 21 through 30, for which we can give thanks this holiday.Scientific studies have found that focusing on gratitude doesn’t just make you more pleasant to be around.

Please write to my editors and tell them how much you value this kind of information, so I can continue producing these pieces and buying broccoli seeds indefinitely.References to the First ThanksgivingThe “fir...
