Brad Pitt fears Angelina Jolie has alienated their six children and put them under her 'trance'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt is reportedly at his breaking point, fearing that Angelina Jolie has alienated their six children and put them under her influence or control.
This comes as their daughter, Shiloh Jolie, matures into a mini version of her mother, which has reportedly left the 'Fight Club' actor furious and hurt.
Shiloh Jolie’s transformation sparks Tension with Brad Pitt
At 18, Shiloh Jolie has undergone a noticeable transformation, ditching the laid-back, athletic style she once shared with her father in favor of a more Angelina Jolie-inspired look, Radar Online reported.
Known for her cool, tomboyish style, Shiloh now frequently sports braids, reminiscent of her mother's iconic look as Lara Croft in 'Tomb Raider'.
The shift in her appearance is a clear nod to her mother, but it’s the recent tattoo that has caused Pitt’s frustration to boil over.
The small Gemini symbol inked on Shiloh’s body is a tribute to both her and her mother’s astrological sign, further cementing the strong connection between the two.
A source close to the family shared that Shiloh’s physical transformation isn’t the only thing causing tension.
"Shiloh purged an item Brad gave her as a child, which (he felt was) really cruel and unbearable. It’s clear Shiloh’s drunk the Kool-Aid from her mom and tried to blot out any resemblance to her father," the insider revealed.
Pitt apparently feels deeply hurt by this act, interpreting it as a rejection of his presence in her life.
Shiloh Jolie dropped 'Pitt' from her name
The source added that it appears Shiloh Jolie has fully embraced her mother’s influence, even to the extent of trying to erase any traces of her father in her appearance and decisions.
One of the most striking moves she made was legally dropping her father’s last name when she turned 18 in May 2024.
This decision, while legal and her prerogative as an adult, has been particularly painful for Pitt, especially given the emotional history between the former couple.
The insider said, "It's more proof of the trance Angelina has Shiloh and all their kids under, and he feels helpless to stop it. He can't help believing she's styling the children in her image."
"Brad has said for years that Angelina's been trash-talking him and pitting the kids against him. It seems she's alienated the whole brood from him – but now he feels it's reached crisis level," they added.
Pitt, already dealing with a strained relationship with his other children, finds the situation with Shiloh particularly difficult.
Since his highly publicized divorce from Jolie in 2016, the actor has struggled to maintain close relationships with his children, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and the 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.
The long and contentious divorce battle, which was finally finalized in December 2024, left deep scars, and the estrangement seems to have taken an irreversible toll on the family.
Despite all the turmoil, the 'Troy' star has tried to maintain a dignified silence, never speaking publicly about the rift with his children or the difficult divorce. However, this situation with Shiloh has pushed him to his breaking point.
The insider further shared, “Brad has hit his breaking point. He’s ready to call this like he sees it, and he’s planning to tell Shiloh all the things Angelina has done to him.”
