Angelina Jolie Looks Unbothered In A Pearl-Buttoned Tailored Coat Amid Accusations Of Turning Her Kids Against Ex Brad Pitt

What's The Latest In Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt's Custody Battle?

After a 2020 post from their 19-year-old son Pax calling Pitt "an awful human being" resurfaced at the end of last month, an insider came to the Ad Astra actor's defense and essentially accused Jolie of turning their kids against them. The insider said: "The publication of the Instagram is sad and frustrating because it does not make things any better."

The Daily Mail also quoted the insider as saying: "Even when what is said is bad for him, Brad would only ever respect the kids' voices. He will never ever speak negatively about any of them and will almost never talk about them in public. There is no question that he would hit back at them. There is a feeling among their friends that the post is a perfect example of parental alienation – I mean this is a textbook demonstration of parental alienation."

The insider went on to slam Jolie even more, saying: "Brad's team think she has been playing these games for years but they do not want to get drawn into battle with her. There have been years and years of her telling and retelling the same poisonous things about him and the reality is that she has alienated the kids, and the reality is that it is upsetting to Brad. He cares about all of them. It is devastating."

A source close to Angelina also weighed in, and said: "Brad Pitt has nobody to blame but himself. All Angelina wants is to heal their family and move on, but he won't let her go."
