Angelina Jolie appeared in high spirits as she was seen in Milan on Monday with film colleagues Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, and director Pablo LarraÃn. This marks her first public appearance since accusations surfaced from Brad Pitt’s camp, claiming she has been trying to turn their children against him.
Friends of Brad Pitt have alleged that Angelina has engaged in “textbook parental alienation,” leading to his estrangement from their three adopted children. Despite these claims, Angelina seemed unfazed as she stepped out in the Italian city, smiling and engaging with her companions.
The Academy Award-winning actress wore a chic black tailored coat adorned with pearl buttons, paired with black boots, and styled her golden locks loosely. She appeared in good spirits, chatting with her film mates and seemingly unaware of the cameras.
The accusations have come amidst recent revelations that their daughter Zahara has stopped using Pitt as her surname, and their son Pax called his father a “world-class a-hole.”
Reports suggest that Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, and Zahara, 18, are estranged from Brad, while his biological children Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, still see him under a custody agreement.
Earlier this month, Zahara attended a sorority induction event at Spelman College in Atlanta, introducing herself as Zahara Jolie instead of her legal name, Zahara Jolie-Pitt.
Maddox and Pax have reportedly stopped using the Pitt name in informal contexts for years. Maddox has not spoken to Brad since a 2016 incident on a private plane, which led to the couple’s separation.
Last week, a three-year-old Instagram post from Pax resurfaced, where he called Brad a “f***ing awful human being” and accused him of lacking empathy towards his children. Friends of the former couple acknowledge the post’s authenticity and believe it reflects Angelina’s negative influence on the children.
A friend of Brad’s expressed frustration, stating, “The publication of Instagram is sad and frustrating because it does not make things any better.
Brad respects the kids’ voices and will never speak negatively about them publicly.” They added that the post exemplifies parental alienation, which they believe Angelina has been practicing for years.
Conversely, a source close to Angelina defended her: “Brad Pitt has nobody to blame but himself. All Angelina wants is to heal their family and move on, but he won’t let her go.” The source emphasized Angelina’s desire for peace and family healing.
Currently, the custody agreement involves only the three youngest children, with Brad having weekend and holiday visitations. Angelina desires to relocate, but the family remains in the United States due to Brad’s preference.
