The split between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been associated with allegations of abuse, leading to strained relationships with their children, including Vivienne, Shiloh, and Maddox distancing themselves from Pitt. The alleged incident occurred during a flight from Paris to Los Angeles in 2016, prompting Jolie to file legal documents accusing Pitt of physical abuse.
According to Jolie, Pitt had aggressively confronted her during the flight, accusing her of causing harm to the family. The documents also mentioned disturbing incidents, including Pitt allegedly choking one child and hitting another in the face.
Despite these claims, a close source to Pitt denied any physical abuse, attributing the situation to a heated parent-child argument that escalated beyond control.
The fallout from the incident has left a lasting impact on the family, especially on Maddox, who has taken on a protective role for his mother. This shift in perception towards Pitt has influenced the younger children as well, with Shiloh recently dropping Pitt from her surname, possibly due to the negative rumors surrounding her father’s alleged history of abuse.
The younger siblings, Vivienne and Knox, have also distanced themselves from Pitt, as seen in Vivienne’s decision not to use his last name in a playbill. The once-close relationship between Pitt and his children has changed over the years, with Pitt acknowledging his past issues with alcohol and expressing regret for his role in the split.
Despite the estrangement, Pitt remains hopeful for reconciliation, especially with his son Maddox, whom he loves dearly.
