Brad Pitt reportedly shares a fractured relationship with his kids because his ex-wife Angeline Jolie has “poisoned” them against their father. After Angelina Jolie accused him of “choking one of children and striking another in face” during their 2016 aircraft altercation, a close insider to Bullet Train star defended him.

According to a source who spoke to TMZ, Pitt’s relationships with his six children are “restricted and strained” as a result of Maleficent actor’s defamation campaign. Actor’s source claimed that Angelina Jolie “poisoned” children against their father, making it such that he has little to no interaction with them. Parents to Maddox (age 21), Pax (age 18), Zahara (age 17), Shiloh (age 16, and the twins Knox and Vivienne (ages 14), Pitt and Jolie split in 2016 after a 12-year romance.

Earlier, another source told that ever since alleged plane abuse of Pitt, his elder kids have “essentially kicked their dad to curb years ago.” “Maddox, Pax and Zahara don’t really see both sides of picture,” insider stated. “They’re Team Angelina.”

However, former lovers’ daughter Shiloh does not agree with her elder siblings as she has been trying to “encourage” her them “to have a relationship with their dad.”

“Because he’s always been there for them, and he’s a human being and doesn’t deserve to be treated like a monstrous criminal,” source noted.–Agencies
