Why Can’t Angelina Jolie Reveal the “Horrible Stories” About Brad Pitt?

Why Can’t Angelina Jolie Reveal the “Horrible Stories” About Brad Pitt?

To recap, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie started dating in 2005 after meeting on the set of the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Their relationship became public, capturing the attention of the world. They didn’t marry until August 2014, when they tied the knot in a private ceremony with only 20 guests, including their six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. However, just two years later, their marriage fell apart when Angelina filed for divorce on September 19, 2016 — just days after an alleged altercation on a private jet, where Brad Pitt was accused of assaulting Angelina and Maddox, who was only 15 years old at the time.

Divorce Battle and Legal Complications

This lengthy divorce battle was quite unusual, even by Hollywood standards. Although neither Brad Pitt nor Angelina Jolie have revealed many details about their split, it is known that the legal dissolution of their marriage became complicated due to abuse allegations in 2016, as well as issues related to their shared assets and custody of their children. Their personal lives were under intense media scrutiny, and the legal proceedings have dragged on for years.

Angelina’s Advocacy for Human Rights

 

In addition to her acting career, Angelina Jolie has spent significant time advocating for human rights, especially in regard to children’s rights. In 2021, she published a book titled Know Your Rights and Claim Them, described as “a resource to help children and teenagers understand their rights,” offering them “the knowledge needed to protect themselves and others. 

 

 

There have been widespread rumors that Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children became strained after he and Angelina Jolie separated. He has not been publicly seen or spoken about any of his children for many years. A source revealed in July 2024 that he “hardly communicates with his adult children” — Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), and Shiloh (18). The absence of Brad from public events involving his children raised many questions about the state of their relationship. 

 

While Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s children have kept a low profile, some appear to have taken steps to distance themselves from their father by removing “Pitt” from their last names. Reports indicate that Zahara and Vivienne chose to use “Jolie” instead of “Jolie-Pitt,” while Shiloh became the center of attention in 2024 when it was reported that she filed a legal request to drop “Pitt” from her name. This move signals a potential shift in the family’s dynamics and raises questions about the impact of the public divorce on the children.
