Brad Pitt is reportedly on a mission to restore his public image amid his contentious divorce and lengthy legal battle with Angelina Jolie. An insider from Hollywood disclosed that the actor is keen to show the world a new side of himself, especially as his divorce drama has negatively impacted his relationships with their six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox.
To facilitate a fresh start, Pitt is leaning on his current relationship with girlfriend Ines de Ramon. According to sources, he aims to project stability and seriousness, with Ines’ presence reinforcing that image. They made their red carpet debut together at the 2024 Venice Film Festival and have been linked since 2022. However, friends close to the couple have suggested that their relationship can sometimes feel “unequal,” highlighting Pitt’s powerful persona and occasional patronizing tendencies.
Pitt’s difficult demeanor has also been under scrutiny during his ongoing legal disputes with Jolie. Recently, Jolie chose to withdraw her lawsuit against the FBI regarding documents tied to an alleged physical altercation between her and Pitt on a private plane in 2016. During the flight, Pitt reportedly exhibited violent behavior towards Jolie and their children, a claim he has vehemently denied.
Amid these challenges, Pitt remains committed to reconnecting with his children. This intention was underscored by a shocking Father’s Day message from his son Pax, who publicly criticized him on social media, stating, “You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person.” Despite such harsh accusations, sources claim that Pitt is dedicated to rebuilding his relationships with all his children and hopes for a future where their perspectives shift as they grow older and are less influenced by Jolie.
