Despite a report claiming Pitt feels the situation is “depressing” and “frustrating,” a source close to the actor insists that nothing could be further from the truth.
“This is just unfortunate that people would keep trying to bring kids into things,” the insider tells us Tuesday.
“It’s been a long seven years and it’s unfortunate when people unnecessarily raise issues from so far in the past … and don’t take into consideration the impact it has on the whole family.”
The source adds that Pitt has not referenced his children in the media regarding his 2016 divorce from Angelina Jolie or their ongoing custody battle — and he will continue to remain silent.
Brad Pitt has “no reaction” to his son Pax allegedly calling him a “world-class a–hole” in a resurfaced social media post.
“It’s been a long seven years and it’s unfortunate when people unnecessarily raise issues from so far in the past … and don’t take into consideration the impact it has on the whole family,” a source close to the Oscar winner tells Page Six Tuesday.
The comments came hours after a report claimed Pitt felt Pax’s resurfaced post was “depressing” and “frustrating.”
Reps for Pitt did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Our source’s remarks come one day after screenshots of a post from Pax’s alleged private Instagram account were circulated online.

“Happy Father’s Day to this world class a–hole!! You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person,” Pax allegedly wrote, per the Daily Mail, over a photo of Pitt accepting his Oscar.
“You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence,” he reportedly continued, referring to siblings Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
He also has a 22-year-old older brother, Maddox.
“You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday,” he reportedly added.

“You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you’re incapable of doing so,” the message continued.
Pax, now 19, also allegedly accused Pitt, 59, of making “the lives of those closest” to him “a constant hell.”
“You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, Happy Father’s Day, you f–king awful human being!!!” the post concluded.
Pitt shares six children with Angelina Jolie: Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
His relationship with his children has been questioned ever since his 2016 split from Jolie.
The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star’s relationship with his children came into question just last week when Zahara refrained from using “Pitt” in her name during her Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction at Spelman College.
Instead, she introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”
Just this past week, Zahara left “Pitt” out of her name during her sorority induction at Spelman College.
Back in 2021, Us Weekly reported that Maddox also “doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie.”
“Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support,” an insider said.
Recently, there was news that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ‘s biological daughter , Shiloh, removed her father’s last name ‘Pitt’ from her private account.

Acquaintances said that Brad Pitt was also very heartbroken after hearing this news.
Because Shiloh and her dad looked almost identical when they were kids, and she was also the kid who had the best relationship with Brad Pitt.
