Wow and people think he is the victim? |
Money has nothing to do with anything. Yes, she can restrict his custody/visits/access through the courts or just hide the kids or refuse to let him see them. She constantly traveled and if he was working (and he had to work to support her lifestyle), he couldn't just drop everything and travel to her in hopes of seeing the kids for a few minutes. She kept them out out of school so there was no parents day, homecoming, etc and even so, yes, dads who don't have joint custody need an order if the school refuses as they go by what mom puts on the paperwork. |
Excuses. Even Jon went to go see the play. |
So on the one hand you have those saying the kids side with their mom, don’t like their father, Thank God they’re away from the drunk abuser. Then you have posts like this saying why isn’t he showing up to things like baby girl’s play (produced by the mother he does not get along with) after said baby girl omitted his last name in the playbill. You have Zahara obviously devoted to her mom as they hold hands every time they’re in public together. Why would she ever welcome him in Atlanta? Is he supposed to barge in and make a scene uninvited? If the twins do actually see him, and I hope they do, but doubtful, why can’t they visit him on set where he’s contractually obligated to be? Baby girl spent a whole semester in NY (approved by her father) for her play.They can’t visit with a nanny or tutor to see him for a few days or a week? They all follow AJ around the world but don’t ever see him, nor any of their grandparents it seems. They don’t do these things because they don’t want to. All they need is Mom. I’m guessing he tried to reunify I think they call it, going through therapy with them and supervised visits until they were old enough to have a say about where and with whom they wanted to spend their time. If they are still afraid of him, hate him on their mom’s behalf, angry with him-obviously seeing they're removing his name one by one, because they still see themselves as his victims, what should he do? Force his way in or step back and respect their wishes which seem clear. It’s a horrible situation from all sides no matter how you look at it. |
The kids didn’t go to their gma’s party. Jolie hosted the GMA and nieces at her house another day. One of the nieces commented on this |
If he and his PR can't do the bare minimum like congratulating his daughter then they should stop mentioning them completely. Sources saying his christmas wont be the same or that all his friends said he was a good dad is making him look worst. |
This seems right. The Broadway show was Angelina's thing, he wasn't going to horn in. Especially after his daughter made a point of dropping his surname for the program. What would have been gained? |
DP. You can’t be this naive. You don’t wonder why he found the strength to continue the winery lawsuit but gave up on taking her to court to custody? She can’t just hide the kids or restrict custody. If anything if he documented that behavior he would probably be able to use that to get some custody. You can’t even legally take a kid out if the country in this type of scenario without a signed consent letter from the other parent. He does not care and it isn’t a priority to him. I think some of the negative opinions of Angelina Jolie are accurate but it’s crazy to me how someone can pretend that Brad Pitt didn’t have the resources to try harder. If he wanted to he would. |
Excuses. She only got involved because of Vivienne. It meant a lot to her. If Jon can muster some nice words about Vivienne then so could he. |
He spent millions of dollars on therapists and custody proceedings. He has legal joint custody just not physical. Angelina stated that's why she couldn't move out of LA and he had to agree to the youngest daughter staying in New York for several months, stipulating his visits with Knox would continue. Seems like he's doing the best he can in a terrible situation. Not forcing himself on the kids and hoping they come around one day. How they handled the chateau sale (both of them!) seems to be what really destroyed any possibility of peace in the family for a long time. |
| I feel bad for the kids, what a nightmare for them. Shiloh dropped her dad's name but also quickly moved out after turning 18. I'm sure she's still close to her mom, but seems to want her own life and no part of the circus. Good for her. Hope paps will leave her alone. She never asked for any of this. |
+ 1 million! Seriously, how dumb do some of these posters think we are to believe that a man with his money and inflience couldn't see his kids, go to their performances, etc. |
+2 Totally ridiculous. |

Brad fought for custody for years. Angelina fought him every step of the way. A lot of mothers would be thrilled to have a father who wanted to be present in their children’s lives, but Angelina fought to alienate her children from their father. She didn’t want him to have any custody. She repeated the same behavior she saw from her mother - alienate her children from their father over her bitterness from the divorce. I also think she saw those children as hers, and once she was done with Brad, she didn’t want him in their lives. I think she’s a very controlling person who does not know how to co-parent or share. She should have stayed a single mom.
She also purposely sold her share of the winery to a business partner he had already turned down. She is the instigator of the years-long, acrimonious divorce. She first involved law enforcement in the divorce to attempt to get her ex-husband prosecuted. When that didn’t work, she refused to come to a mutually beneficial agreement regarding custody and the winery, leading to years-long bitter legal proceedings. Hurting her ex and “winning” seem to be more important to her than the well-being of her family. She is always putting out PR about wanting the family to “heal”, but her actions won’t let the family heal. It’s astounding that she acts as if she is a victim and blames everything on Brad, when it is her actions that have most damaged her family. |
Not from what I saw in their IG storylines. And no way Jolie would host a party for GMA. |
