Brad will be spending part of Christmas Day with Knox, Vivienne, and Shiloh. There had been tentative plans to spend the holidays together as a family earlier this year, but Angelina

Always funny how no media- except here, of course- acknowledges that the kids opt out as soon as they age out of legal obligations.

Even the outlets who report on it, who are usually super friendly Brad sources, just kind of focus on the part where he'll see three of his kids, and just kind of leave the obvious unsaid. Which says a lot about how this country still views adoption, tbh.

i doubt the press/hwood would act like this if the adopted kids were white tbh it's disgusting how they've been spoken about/dehumanized their whole lives. i rly think that if maddox had been white, people would have given a shit that brad assaulted him.

This. It’s because they think of them as “not really his kids” too. Ugh.

I don't really closely follow them, why is only legally allowed to see the three bio kids? Didn't he adopt all of them as well? I know Maddox and I believe Pax are above 18 and have the option but isn't Zahara around the same age as Shiloh?

It's mostly a joke. We don't actually know the details of his relationships with the kids. But we're pretty sure Maddox and Pax have chosen not to see him since the separation, and now it seems like Zahara may be pulling away too, so people speculate that when the kids hit a certain age, the courts let them decide for themselves and that's why he's only seeing the three youngest.

Ahh okay I thought there was actually an official legal declaration in place I hadn't heard about

[bostongirl2003]

Shiloh is 14 and Zahara is 15 so I think a court would listen to both in regards to whether they wanted to see him?

[progression]

I hope it’s the kids’ choice not to see him and not hurt him being a piece of shit who doesn’t see the adopted kids as his own. Idk much about their split or lives, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the latter was the case.

This title made me laugh as if it were just three randomly chosen children in the world his agent found.

“You know Brad Pitt?”
“Yeah”
“You have been selected for a secret mission. It will last Christmas Day. You will be paid in LEGO. “

“Is he in those fast and furious movies?”
“Abort mission!”

They most likely don't and this reminds me of Jessica Chastain pretending her 2 year-old knew who Ruth Bader Ginsburg was 😂
