Maddox Jolie-Pitt in talks to release candid book about his tumultous relationship with father Brad Pitt
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, 22, is preparing to write a book that will offer an insight into his upbringing with the well-known actor Brad Pitt.
“Titled 'Daddy Dearest', the book is said to delve into the complexities of their relationship, offering a firsthand account of the highs and lows, triumphs and tribulations," a source exclusively told OK! Magazine.
Maddox Jolie-Pitt's book gives 'unique perspective' into his private life
“It will offer readers a unique perspective into the private life of one of Hollywood's most iconic figures, making the bombshell book Joan Crawford’s daughter wrote about her look like Mary Poppins,” reported the outlet.
As previously reported, Pitt's other children — Pax, 20, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15 — don't seem to want anything to do with their father.
So much so that Pax called him an "awful human being" in a scathing Father's Day post from 2020, while Zahara dropped "Pitt" from her last name.
Pitt's ex-wife Angelina Jolie recently spoke out in a new interview about what it's been like for her over the past seven years.
She told WSJ Magazine, “It’s part of what happened after my divorce. I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can,” she says, expressing her desire to spend more time at her home in Cambodia.
She said, "I grew up in quite a shallow place." She added, “Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you seek authenticity.”
“We had to heal,” she said of that time. “There are things we needed to heal from.”
Brad Pitt's oldest son appears to be making an effort
Their children and the partial selling of their Provencal Chateau Miraval property and winery in France have been the source of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's ongoing conflict. Pitt's oldest son appears to be making an effort to patch things up with the other children, even though he could be willing to spill the beans on their tense relationship.
The source said, "He’s on good terms with them. He lost a lot of precious time with them during the custody battle, and he’s determined not to miss any more."
Brad Pitt took 'full responsibility for his actions'
Another source emphasized that Pitt "has taken full responsibility for his actions" following allegations that he was abusive against Jolie and two of his children on a flight in 2016. The source further stated that it is now up to Pitt's children "to make up their own minds about him and see him for who he is."
