When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax Jolie-Pitt’s explosive Father’s Day rant came to light this past week, many were wondering how Brad would react. Would he make a statement? Would he try to make amends? Is he hurt? Or is he open to trying to rebuild his relationship with his children?

Nope. Apparently, Pitt had “no reaction” to the post, according to some of his closest friends who spilled the beans to OK Magazine.

“It’s been a long seven years and it’s unfortunate when people unnecessarily raise issues from so far in the past … and don’t take into consideration the impact it has on the whole family,” the source said. “This is just unfortunate that people would keep trying to bring kids into things.”

To be fair, no one brought the kids into it. Pax was the one to voice his feelings, and in 2023, his post got resurfaced. For those who may have missed it, it’s quite scathing.

“Happy Father’s Day to this world class a——!!” Pax wrote back in 2020 on Father’s Day in an Instagram Story. “You time and time 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.”

He added, “You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so. You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant h—. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, Happy Father’s Day, you f—— awful human being!!”

The Salt star and Brad welcomed and adopted six children total named Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15. While all of the kids seem super close with Angelina, most of them don’t seem like they’ve been in contact with Brad much since his and Angelina’s divorce.
