Why angry Maddox Jolie-Pitt still ‘cannot stand’ Brad Pitt

The family drama continues. - by Milly Haddrick
  • 22 Aug 2019

Relations within the Jolie-Pitt family have been going from bad to worse, as Angelina and Brad's bitter divorce continues to go down a messy path. 

After 11 years together and two years of marriage, Angelina Jolie took the drastic step of filing for divorce after an alleged altercation broke out between an intoxicated Brad Pitt and eldest child Maddox, while on a private plane in 2016. 

While the family drama continues, the six Jolie-Pitt kids are feeling its effects, with Maddox firmly taking his mother's side.

A source told US Weekly that Maddox has a particularly close bond with the Tomb Raider star, telling the publication: "Maddox doesn’t really see himself as Brad’s son."

Despite it being three years since his mother filed for a divorce, Maddox is yet to forgive his 'dad' Brad, even refusing to join his siblings at Brad's home for Christmas last year. 

“Maddox refused to go, and Pax didn’t go either," a source told the publication at the time. 

“[Maddox and Pax] spend more time with their friends and are busy doing their own thing,” dishes the insider.

“They spend less time than they used to with the younger kids and the family.”

Back in 2016, Brad Pitt was alleged drunk on a flight when an altercation broke out between Maddox and the Unce Upon A Time In Hollywood actor. The incident caused an investigation from both the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, with the actor having to attend therapy sessions, Alcoholics Anonymous and drug and alcohol testing, to prove he was fit to have physical custody of his children. 

Here's hoping the Jolie-Pitt's can work through the drama.
