Brad Pitt is ‘distraught’ over estranged son Pax’s terrifying crash – as actor takes swipe at Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt is 'distraught' over estranged son Pax's terrifying crash - as actor takes swipe at Angelina Jolie

As a seasoned observer of celebrity dynamics and someone who has followed the intricate tapestry of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s relationship, I must say, it’s heartbreaking to witness such a fractured family. Having spent years documenting their journey from a power couple to estranged parents, I can’t help but feel a sense of loss for the children who have grown up in the glare of public scrutiny.


Brad Pitt is deeply troubled and sad because he hasn’t been able to contact his son, Pax, who was recently involved in a bike accident in Los Angeles and is currently hospitalized.

On Sunday, at precisely 5:12 PM, along Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles, it was verified by the Los Angeles Police Department that Pax was not donning a helmet while operating his electric dirt bike, which collided with a car that was halted at a red signal. This information was communicated to Dailymail.com.

People who were present reported that Pax instantly expressed discomfort in his head and hip following the collision.

The responding officers and emergency medical personnel feared he might have internal bleeding in his brain, so they promptly took him to the hospital for immediate care.

It is said that the person driving the car stepped out to attend to the injured passenger, performing their responsibility, before the arrival of both police officers and paramedics.

According to a source, Angelina Jolie is staying with him at the hospital as he continues to recover, and the full details about his injuries have yet to be disclosed.

Since the domestic violence allegation involving Angelina Jolie on a private jet in 2016, Brad Pitt and Pax have been estranged. In a 2020 Instagram post, he referred to Brad Pitt as a ‘notorious jerk’ and a ‘terrible person’.

Although they haven’t been in touch, a source informed DailyMail.com that Brad is deeply concerned and troubled by Pax’s accident, yet he can’t get hold of him at this time.

Brad finds it extremely distressing when he learns a child has been injured, as he feels utterly helpless because he’s unable to offer any assistance whatsoever.

A dad might prefer to visit the hospital or reach out to him, yet he hasn’t been able to connect due to the kids consistently ignoring his calls. Regardless of how many times he’s tried, it seems his options are limited.

According to the source, Brad feels it was inadvisable for Pax to ride a scooter without a helmet initially; he believed he should’ve been traveling by car instead, which could be interpreted as a gentle critique of Angelina.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Pitt and Jolie for comment.  

Pax was adopted by Jolie, 49, from an orphanage in Vietnam when he was three. 

The individual maintains a strong bond with his mother, much like his five other siblings: Maddox (aged 23), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and the 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

 A source close to Jolie blamed Pitt for his fractured relationship with Pax. 

The estranged couple were recently involved in a bitter fight after Pitt filed a $67 million lawsuit against Jolie over the sale of their Miraval wine business. 

On the 11th of July, Pax was observed cruising through Los Angeles on an expensive electric bike, specifically a Talaria Sting R MX4 worth around $3,000. Interestingly, he chose not to wear a helmet during his ride.

California laws require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets, while all under 18s must wear them for type three electric scooters. He was also not supposed to be riding the off-road scooter on the road. 

Two days following their outing, Pax and Angelina were spotted in public at the well-known celebrity restaurant, Sushi Park in West Hollywood, enjoying a meal of Japanese cuisine together.

In 2007, I, a passionate admirer, proudly welcomed Pax into my life, a little boy who found his way to me from the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, at just three years old. His journey began as a newborn, abandoned by a mother battling heroin addiction in an orphanage.

Apart from Pax, they also have five additional children – a family of six. Among them are their three biologically born kids: a 18-year-old girl named Shiloh and twin siblings, Knox and Vivienne, who are both 16 years old.

In 2002, at the age of 22, Maddox was taken in by Jolie from Cambodia. Similarly, Jolie adopted Zahara, who is now 19 years old, from Ethiopia in 2005.

Pitt later joined her in adopting Maddox and Zahara in 2006, and Pax in 2008. 

Pitt and Jolie started seeing each other in 2005 following the conclusion of Pitt’s union with Jennifer Aniston. Their engagement occurred in 2012, and they tied the knot in 2014 at their estate in Miraval, France.

Pitt and Jolie have been stuck in a bitter divorce battle over assets and custody for years. 

Pax has not been seen with Pitt since Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase that experience like this: In 2016, a disagreement between Brad Pitt and our eldest child, Maddox, during a flight from France to California on a private jet led me to file for divorce.

In line with a 2022 FBI report I’ve referenced, I personally allege that during our journey to California in 2016, Pitt is said to have physically attacked me.

She asserted that he was under the influence and forcefully seized her by the head, shaking her violently, followed by shoving her to the ground. This incident is said to have occurred during an argument reportedly concerning their offspring.

As reported by the FBI, Jolie asserted that Pitt allegedly told the kids he was ruining their family, and furthermore, she declared that he hit the plane’s ceiling four times.

In the playbill for the Broadway adaptation of The Outsiders, which Angelina Jolie produced, her youngest daughter Vivienne, who had worked as her assistant, appeared under the name Vivienne Jolie instead of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. It’s uncertain if she officially changed her surname to Jolie.

In the same month, Shiloh, now an adult, petitioned the court to remove her father’s surname from hers once she reached legal adulthood.

Due to a mistake in the court’s background check process, a hearing on the request was postponed, according to reports made public on Monday.

In November 2023, during her Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority initiation at Spelman College, Zahara dropped the “Pitt” from her surname and introduced herself as ‘Zahara Marley Jolie’.

After the recent instance where children seemed to drop Pitt from their names, reports suggest that Pax and Maddox, the eldest sons, haven’t used the combined surname for quite a few years now. It remains unclear if they have officially altered their legal names.

Since Pax, along with his three eldest brothers, are all adults (18 years or older), there’s no compulsion for them to maintain routine visits with Pitt. However, his younger children, Knox and Vivienne, who are minors, are still required to have regular visitation.

Back in May, I learned from a reliable confidant of the esteemed Oscar winner that he harbors a deep desire to rebuild and strengthen his connection with his kids. According to this source, their relationship had been strained due to the divorce.

The source also accused Jolie of ensuring that their children had ‘limited involvement’ with their father.
