Brad Pitt's son Pax called his father a 'world class a**hole' who makes his four youngest children 'tremble in fear' in an explosive Instagram rant posted for Father's Day 2020, DailyMail.com can reveal. 'You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell,' Pax wrote. 'You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want,' he added., 'but the truth will come to light someday.Then he sarcastically added: 'So Happy Father's Day, you f*****g awful human being.' Angelina Jolie adopted Pax from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2007. He was three years old and had been dumped as a newborn by his heroin-addicted biological mother. Brad formally adopted him the following year.When Pitt, 59, and Jolie, 48, split in 2016 just two years after they had married in a private ceremony in France, the children stayed with their mother amid reports of an altercation aboard a private jet between eldest son Maddox and his father. Now it is clear that the relationship between Pax and Pitt is also troubled with the 19-year-old accusing his dad of making his life 'hell' in the extraordinary social media rant. Pax posted the broadside at Pitt to the stories section of his private Instagram account when he was 16. He accompanied it with a photo of Brad receiving an Oscar for best supporting actor for Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood four months earlier. A source has confirmed the private account does belong to Pax. 'It's the account he uses for friends – friends from school mostly. He never says much about his parents, keeps himself to himself, so that was unusual.' Pax did not say if there was a specific event that had set him off or whether it was a culmination of years of tension.In his post, Pax called his adoptive father 'a world class a**hole' adding: 'You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. 'You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. 'You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you're incapable of doing so.'
Although Pax was the third child – after brother Maddox and sister Zahara – that Jolie adopted, he is one year older than Zahara. The four youngest children, who he claimed Pitt made tremble would be Zahara, now 18, and the couple's three biological children, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie and Pitt met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. They insisted at the time that there was no infidelity but after a picture emerged of them on a beach in Kenya with Maddox, Aniston filed for divorce.But their fairytale romance fell apart in 2016 and the couple once known as 'Brangelina' have been embroiled in acrimonious battles ever since.Their divorce was finalized in 2019, and although Jolie initially had full custody of the children, an agreement was thrashed out in 2021 that allowed Pitt to have them 50 per cent of the time. But shortly afterwards, John Ouderkirk, the judge in charge of the case, was revealed to have close business relationships with Pitt's lawyers. As a result, he was disqualified from the case and custody was returned to Jolie with Pitt allowed 'custodial visits' only. Pitt was also investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services over child abuse allegations following the alleged altercation with Maddox on a private jet ficve days before Jolie filed for divorce. Maddox is said to have stood up for Jolie during a fight between his parents.
A source later told People, Pitt had been drunk at the time, adding: 'There was an argument between him and Angelina. 'There was a parent-child argument which was not handled in the right way and escalated more than it should have.' Jolie told authorities Pitt had behaved 'like a monster' on the jet.Pitt was subsequently cleared of all charges and has since quit both booze and smoking cannabis and was photographed attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in September 2016. Although neither Pitt nor Jolie have ever spoken publicly about the incident, Jolie told Vogue in 2021 that she had dumped Pitt for the 'wellbeing' of her family. She added: 'It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds. 'In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people.' The couple are still involved in a contentious $350 million battle over Chateau Miraval, the vineyard they bought in France. Jolie sold her half to a subsidiary of Stoli Group after the plane incident because, her lawyers said, she was 'uncomfortable' being involved in the sale of alcohol. In a filing this summer she called her ex a 'bully' who acted emotionally, irrationally and 'ultimately illegally' over the vineyard. He accused her of stagiing 'a hostile takeover of the business. Pax remains close to his mother and has been seen with her in New York where she has been staying while creating her new Atelier Jolie line. He has now graduated from high school – choosing to skip the graduation ceremony to avoid paparazzi. Earlier this year, it was reported that he had become an artist – creating work under the pseudonym 'Embtto' – but the Page Six story turned out to be a hoax. DailyMail.com reached out to Angelina and Pax's representative for comment but received no response. Brad's rep declined to comment.

Jackie Walters of the Bravo reality television show spoke at the event, and later shared photos on Instagram. Two of the pictures in her slideshow included the Mr. and Mrs. Smith actress.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt appeared to drop her father's last name as she joined a sorority at Spelman College. Video has emerged of the 18-year-old's induction into Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first historically Black sorority in the Greek system - and viewers noticed Zahara had appeared to drop her father's last name as she introduced herself at the ceremony. She seemed to tell the crowd: 'My name is Zahara Marley Jolie. And [I] landed all the way from the Golden State in the city full of angels: Los Angeles, California,' according to People.Angelina, 48, and Brad, 59, split seven years ago, but the exes have been involved in a contentious years-long feud over custody, the dramatic circumstances under which their relationship ended and their ongoing business affairs. The notable name exclusion did not go unnoticed by various social media users. 'I wasn’t gonna say anything, but I definitely peeped that Zahara left Pitt off her last name,' tweeted one viewer. 'Oh Zahara said her last name is Jolie, not Jolie-Pitt,' another posted. 'I need people to respect her as an individual who just said her name out loud ZAHARA. MARLEY. JOLIE. Zero mention of the name PITT. Periodt,' another posted. Zahara is currently a sophomore at Spelman College, a historically Black women's college in Atlanta, Georgia. After controversially meeting on the set of the 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Brad and Angelina were seen as Hollywood's 'It' couple during their long-term relationship. They tied the knot in August 2014 during a secret ceremony in the South of France, and welcomed three children together during their romance - Shiloh, now 17, in 2006, and twins Vivienne and Knox, now 15, in 2008. They also adopted two more, Zahara, and Pax, now 19, and Brad legally adopted the son that Angelina had adopted before they got together, Maddox, now 22. But in 2016, it came to an explosive end after the pair got into an alleged physical altercation while on a private flight with their six kids. Angelina later claimed that Brad 'choked' one of the children during the horrifying dispute and 'struck' another in the face, leaving her and the kids feeling like 'hostages' and cowering in fear under a blanket for hours until they landed. She also alleged that he grabbed her by the head, slammed her against a wall, and violently shook her at one point during the flight - which resulted in her injuring her back and elbow.
Brad's rep called Angelina's account 'completely untrue' to CNN at first, but then released an amended statement to the publication that read, 'Angelina's story continues to evolve each time she tells it. 'Brad has accepted responsibility for what he did but will not for things he didn’t do. He has been on the receiving end of every type of personal attack and misrepresentation. 'Thankfully, the various public authorities she has tried to use against him over the past six years have made their own independent decisions. Brad will continue to respond in court as he has consistently done.'Since they split, the two stars have been embroiled in one of the most publicized legal battles in Hollywood history over custody of their children, as well as the winery that they once owned together. In May 2021, after years of duking it out in court, Brad and Angelina were officially granted joint custody of their six kids - but one month later, the judge's decision was thrown out. Zahara's sorority was founded back in 1908, at another HBCU, Howard University, while her chapter Mu Pi was founded in 1979. Fans of Zahara's mom Angelina got a shock back in August of last year when the 48-year-old Maleficent star joined her daughter for Spelman's move-in day. Jolie kept a low profile in a black blouse and matching slacks as she helped Zahara get settled. Darryl Holloman, Spelman's vice president for student affairs, shared a photo to Instagram at the time of himself beaming with Angelina and a masked-up Zahara, and she also stopped to chat on campus with the university president Dr. Helene Gayle. 'Welcome to campus..Zahara, c’2026,' Holloman captioned the post. Zahara's father Brad didn't appear to play a role when she started at Spelman. However, he made it clear that he was very 'proud' of what his daughter had so far accomplished with her education. 'I’m so proud of her,' he gushed to Vanity Fair around the time she started school. 'She’s so smart. She’s going to flourish even more at college. It’s an exciting and beautiful time to find her own way and pursue her interests. I’m so proud.' Earlier this week, the Oscar winner introduced Ines de Ramon, 32, as his 'girlfriend' after the two had dated for nearly a year, indicating that he was ready to take the relationship to a new level.

'Angelina Jolie does not offer the Israeli people any ability to defend themselves': President Isaac Herzog hits back at the actress after she accused IDF of 'deliberately' killing children in Gaza airstrikes - as her father Jon Voight blasts her 'lies'

Israel's president has blasted Angelina Jolie for 'not offering the Israeli people any ability to defend themselves' after the actress strongly condemned the IDF's response to the Hamas terror attacks. Ms Jolie, formerly a special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees, accused Israel of 'deliberately bombing children, women, families, deprived of food, medicine and humanitarian aid' in violation of the international law. President Isaac Herzog, in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored today, said he 'totally rejects' Ms Jolie's criticisms of the offensive in Gaza, noting how she's never been to Palestine or Israel. His remarks comes as her father, actor Jon Voight, ripped anti-Israel posts by Ms Jolie branding them 'lies' and saying 'the Israeli army must protect thy soil.' Voight said he was 'disappointed' that his daughter does not understand that Hamas' objective 'is to annihilate the land of the Jews.' Mr Herzog, speaking to Piers Morgan, rejected Ms Jolie's claims, adding: 'I think she's never been in Gaza, she's never been here. She never went to visit and see the facts on the ground,' he said. 'With all the respect, people in Gaza know there is war, but there is no humanitarian crisis that does not enable them to survive. 'On the contrary, there is a safe zone which was agreed by the international community and Israel, in the south part of Gaza, in order to move the citizens to that zone, to take full care of them.' The president noted that there is a 'major dramatic increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza', which he claims has been 'supported dramatically' by Israel, the US, United Nations and others. 'The Gazan people can move there so we can uproot this terror regime. This is what we know. Angelina Jolie does not offer the Israeli people any ability to defend themselves by saying what she is saying,' he stated. Mr Herzog's full interview will air tonight on Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV. His criticism come after the actress's own father tore into Ms Jolie over her remarks. In a video posted on Instagram, Voight, 84, did not hold back in his criticism of his daughter Jolie, saying: 'I am very disappointed that my daughter, like so many, has no understanding of God's honor, God's truths.' 'This is about destroying the history of God's land, the Holy Land, the land of the Jews, This is justice for God's children of the holy land,' Voight continued. 'The Israeli army must protect thy soil, thy people. This is war. It's not going to be what the left thinks, it can't be civil now. 'Israel was attacked by inhuman terror on innocent babies, mothers, fathers, grandparents,' Voight noted. 'You fools call Israel the problem, you should look at yourself and ask who am I? What am I? And ask God if am I learning the truth, or am I being lied to and following everyone else? The ones who understand truth see the lie.' 'These animals want to wipe out Jews, Christians,' he went on. 'They see that the Palestinians have not been neglected of finance. They have been given huge infusions of money, that they didn't share with the people. They made weapons instead, for their rage. 'The people of Israel care for people. They love and cherish. Something these animals don't understand. Justice will prevail.'
Voight called for Jolie to reassess her opinion on Israel's role in the war: 'Hamas and this deceit of their ruling is destroying their own people,' he added. He also hailed the 'great heroism' of Jewish people in the face of a series of tragedies throughout history, from the Holocaust to the recent 'Hamas Holocaust.' Voight married Jolie's mother, the actress Marcheline Bertrand, in 1971. The pair had two children, James in 1973 and Angelina 1975, but they divorced the following year because of Voight's cheating. Following Bertrand's death to ovarian cancer in 2007, Jolie wrote: 'When my father had an affair, it changed her life. It set her dream of family life ablaze. But she still loved being a mother.' Jolie and Voight were estranged throughout the early 2000s. She even legally changed her name following public comments he made about her mental health and the breakdown of her marriage to Billy Bob Thornton. The pair finally reconciled in 2010 and Voight was able to meet her six children after Brad Pitt helped broker a truce. Voight would tell the Daily Mail: 'That one moment changed my whole life. It gave me back my daughter and my family. Being reunited with my Angie is very precious to me.' But Jolie reportedly severed contact with her father following her divorce from Pitt. A source told Radar Online in May: 'They've lost contact again.' Voight's comments slamming his daughter have so far received more than 80,000 likes and come after Jolie made a series of posts on Instagram in which she condemned Israel for bombing Gaza.Voight is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation, and he won the Academy Award in 1978 for his Jane Fonda collaboration Coming Home, while he was also nominated three other times. His role in Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance catapulted him to Hollywood fame, is perhaps better known for his connection to right-wing politics in recent years. After renouncing his liberal views of the 1960s and 1970s, he has since become a vocal supporter of the Republican Party. Voight went on to cast doubt on President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election, and had been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. In Jolie's own set of postings she has claimed Israel's actions were 'causing desperate new humanitarian needs daily. While addressing the war between Israel and Hamas, the Academy Award winner, 48, revealed 'like millions around the world' over the past few weeks, she has felt 'sick and angry at the terrorist attack in Israel' that caused 'the death of so many innocent civilians.'
In her latest post, shared with her more than 14.6 Instagram followers, the mother-of-six reveals she has been spending her time 'wondering how best to help.' 'I too am praying for the immediate, safe return of every hostage, and for the families who carry the unimaginable pain of a murder of a loved one. Above all, the children murdered, and the many children now orphaned,' the star wrote. She continued: 'What happened in Israel is an act of terror. But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border or seek refuge,' Jolie added. 'Because of my work with refugees for 20 years, my focus is on the people displaced by violence in any context.' In a follow-up posting depicting pictures of demolished buildings, Jolie compared Gaza to an 'open-air prison.' 'This is the deliberate bombing of a trapped population who have nowhere to flee,' she said. 'Whole families are being murdered. While the world watches and with the active support of many governments, millions of Palestinian civilians - children, women, and families - are being collectively punished and dehumanized, all while being deprived of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid against international law.' Jolie said. 'By refusing to demand a humanitarian ceasefire and blocking the UN Security Council from imposing one on both parties. 'World leaders are complicit in these crimes,' she suggested. According to UNHCR's website, she 'carried out more than 60 field missions bearing witness to suffering and resilience and calling for urgent solutions to protect the rights and safety of displaced people.' In December 2022, she 'stepped down from her role as Special Envoy to engage on a broader set of humanitarian and human rights issues.' 'Gaza has a population of over 2 million people (half of them children), who have lived under a severe blockade for nearly two decades, on top of decades of displacement and statelessness,' Jolie pointed out in her posting. 'The few aid trucks that are entering are a fraction of what is needed (and was delivered daily before the present conflict), and the bombings are causing desperate new humanitarian needs daily.'
Jolie went on to condemn 'the denial of aid, fuel and water' as it 'collectively' punishes all people, including innocent civilians and kids. 'Humanity demands an immediate ceasefire. Palestinian and Israeli lives – and the lives of all people globally – matter equally,' she concluded. 'Anything that can prevent civilian casualties and save lives must be done. Like many others I have donated to medical relief efforts. I have chosen to support the work of Doctors Without Borders and have been closing following their reporting.' Targeting his daughter is not the first time Voight has blasted Hollywood celebrities for their attacks on Israel. In 2014, Voight branded Spanish film stars Penélope Cruz, and Javier Bardem 'ignorant' after they condemned Israel for its military action in the Gaza Strip. He claimed the pair are helping to fan 'the fire of anti-Semitism that is raging all over the world now' after they called for Europe to condemn Israel's then-bombing of the Palestinian territory. The Spanish celebrities speaking out against Israel's actions in Gaza called on the EU to 'condemn the bombing by land, sea and air against the Palestinian civilian population.' 'Palestinians' homes are being destroyed, they are being denied water, electricity, free movement to their hospitals, schools and fields while the international community does nothing,' they said at the time. Over the weekend, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu defied calls for a ceasefire in Gaza by Pope Francis and Middle East leaders, as the IDF rained hell down upon the Gaza Strip as part of its ongoing 'circling' campaign against the enclave. Fires engulfed whole buildings in the Gaza Strip as the IDF carried on its bombardment campaign, as the Israeli PM told IDF troops at the Ramon air force base in southern Israel that war would only stop when Hamas was completely destroyed. 'Our enemies misjudged us. There will be no ceasefire without the return of the hostages,' Netanyahu said. 'This should be completely removed from the lexicon. We say this to our friends and to our enemies. We will simply continue until we defeat them. We have no alternative.' The hardline rhetoric comes as world leaders, including direct neighbors, pleaded with the 74-year-old leader to stop the incessant bombing of the enclave. Pope Francis called for humanitarian aid and help for injured Gazans in order to ease the 'very grave' situation. 'I keep thinking about the grave situation in Palestine and Israel where many people have lost their life. I pray you to stop in the name of god, cease the fire,' the Pope said, speaking to crowds in St Peter's Square after his weekly Angelus prayer on Sunday. 'I hope that all will be done to avoid the conflict from widening, that the injured will be rescued and aid will arrive to the population of Gaza, where the humanitarian situation is very grave,' he added.

Angelina Jolie is calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Israel on Saturday. While addressing the war between Israel and Hamas, the Academy Award winner, 48, revealed 'like millions around the world' over the past few weeks, she has felt 'sick and angry at the terrorist attack in Israel' that caused 'the death of so many innocent civilians.' In her latest post, shared with her more than 14.6 Instagram followers, the mother-of-six reveals she has been spending her time 'wondering how best to help.' 'I too am praying for the immediate, safe return of every hostage, and for the families who carry the unimaginable pain of a murder of a loved one.

But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border or seek refuge.' 'What happened in Israel is an act of terror.

'Because of my work with refugees for 20 years, my focus is on the people displaced by violence in any context.' The performer referenced her work 'with refugees' for the past two decades and how she is currently focused on 'the people displaced by violence in any context.' 'Gaza has a population of over 2 million people (half of them children), who have lived under a severe blockade for nearly two decades, on top of decades of displacement and statelessness,' she pointed out.

At the time, she said in a press release, obtained by People, that she would 'continue to do everything in my power' to 'support refugees and other displaced people.' Her post comes just days after dozens of celebrities, including A-listers like America Ferrera, Channing Tatum and Dua Lipa, came together to urge President Joe Biden to help de-escalate the crisis in Gaza and Israel. The public figures, who created a group called Artists4Ceasefire, wrote an open letter to the president, which explains they have 'come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine.' 'We ask that, as President of the United States, you call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost,' the group stated. 'More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half – a number any person of conscience knows is catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.' They continued: 'We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages.' The members of Artists4Ceasefire also pointed out that 'half of Gaza's two million residents are children, and more than two thirds are refugees and their descendants being forced to flee their homes.'The signees are also asking Biden to help residents of Gaza access humanitarian aid and expressed their belief that 'the United States can play a vital diplomatic role in ending the suffering.'
