After being separated in 2016, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finally marked the conclusion of their long-standing high-profile divorce on December 31, 2024. However, now that they’ve finally reached a divorce settlement after eight years of legal battle, there seems to be a nightmare awaiting Pitt.
According to reports from sources, while Brad Pitt was finally able to get what he wanted—to be legally divorced from Angelina Jolie—he’s now shaking with fear that his kids might add to his misery by giving a tell-all interview. Considering how all six of his kids have become team Jolie, Pitt is worried about what might befall him, if they start speaking out.
Brad Pitt is living in fear of his kids, after the divorce settlement with Angelina Jolie
After parting ways with Angelina Jolie in 2016, and engaging in an eight years-long legal battle, Brad Pitt finally got what he wanted. On December 31, 2024, Pitt and Jolie finally reached a divorce settlement, as per USA Today. But as per reports, the settlement is just a part of an ongoing process with no set deadline.
Meanwhile, it is to be seen whether Pitt comes up with any sort of truce to reconcile things with his kids and Angelina Jolie. Especially since sources close to the actor told InTouch Weekly about his fear of being exposed by his kids, it is believed that some kind of resolution would be in Pitt’s best interest.
This is a dark cloud hanging over Brad’s head. He can muzzle Angelina with his lawyers, but he can’t muzzle his own kids. They’ve stayed totally quiet so far, but at some point down the line, it’s very plausible that they’re going to want to tell their side of the story.
If these kids eventually do want to turn around and get the ultimate closure by laying it all out in the open and telling the world what they’ve been through, it’s going to be Brad’s worst nightmare and no doubt will be the ultimate humiliation for him.
Considering how Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s kids have established through the years that they’re more in favor of Jolie—by dropping Pitt from their name and quitting contact with the actor—it has been reported that the Fight Club actor has allegedly apologized for his misconduct. Despite being closest to his biological daughter Shiloh, as Pitt witnessed a change in his relationship, the actor vehemently apologized for everything.
He’s willing to throw his hands up and surrender. He’s sorry for everything that went down, and he knows he wasn’t a model husband or dad during the time they were together.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work in favor of Brad Pitt, and now, after reaching a divorce settlement with Angelina Jolie, he’s living in constant fear of being exposed by his six kids. It seems that the actor is no longer worried about Jolie speaking out, but rather about his kids sitting for a tell-all interview, that might be the final blow to his career, and damage his reputation in the industry.
Angelina Jolie was previously urged by her kids to speak up against Brad Pitt
It seems that Brad Pitt has reasons to be worried about a bombshell interview from his kids, especially after they had previously urged Angelina Jolie to speak out against the actor. Although following Jolie’s footsteps, even the children have taken a vow of silence on the topic, sources close to the actress had previously revealed via People, how they had insisted Jolie throw some dirt against their father.
[Jolie has] been trying hard to be light after a dark time. The kids have grown up seeing that some people have so much power and privilege that their voices don’t matter. Their pain doesn’t count.
They have wanted her to speak up for herself, to defend herself over these years but she reminds them to focus on changing laws instead of telling public stories.
After gathering reports from multiple sources, it seems that Brad Pitt isn’t worrying in vain about a potential tell-all interview. Considering how the kids had previously wanted Angelina Jolie to speak up for herself and share her side of the pain, there’s a high possibility of Pitt’s children finally opening up about his alleged behavior and ruining his reputation. Only time will tell if Pitt and Jolie’s kids eventually change their minds.
