a broken family

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie formed one of the most stable and admired marriages in Hollywood. They formed a large family in a few years with Maddox, Pax y Zaharawhich were adopted, and Shiloh, Knox y Viviennebiological children whose custody, being minors, the actors still share.

The separation occurred in September 2016 after a notorious and traumatic episode on the private jet in which the family was traveling and in which the interpreter, allegedly drunk, would have insulted and shaken the protagonist of Maleficent in front of their children. It was published that he even confronted Pax, the second of the brothers, when he tried to defend his mother.

In this sense, a message that Pax himself wrote on his social networks three years ago recently came to light and in which he describes the actor as “a terrible and despicable person.” After the commotion generated, the Daily Mail collected the statements of the actor's representative, who assured that “he will never speak negatively about any of his children” and that he “goes out of his way” for all of them. He also stated that this message is the “perfect example of parental alienation” and accuses Jolie of having 'poisoned' her children during these years: “She has been playing these games for years. Years and years have passed in which she has told and retold the same poisonous things about him and reality It's just that it's alienated the kids. And the reality is that it bothers Brad.”
