The incident was investigated by the FBI and LA Child Services - which cleared Brad of any wrong-doing - but it seems the damage has been done between Maddox and his father.
The teenager spoke out in support of his mother while promoting Ange's upcoming drama, First They Killed My Father - which was based on the historical struggles in his homeland of Cambodia.
'[She's] fun, funny and easy to work with,' Maddox told PEOPLE magazine in his first ever interview. He added: 'She's a wonder.'
The teen is set to do more interviews for the upcoming film - which he worked on with Ange - leading many fans to suggest that he'll soon reveal what really happened on that fateful flight once and for all.
