Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s fight doesn’t seem like it will end soon. According to inside sources, Knox, the couple’s son, appearing at the 2024 Governors Awards bothered the actor. Brad allegedly questioned Angelina’s motive for bringing their son to the event and claimed his ex-wife did it to annoy him. However, sources close to the Maleficent star denied the allegation, calling it a coincidence.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Son Red Carpet Attendance Annoys Brad

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s son, Knox, accompanied his mom to the November 12, 2024, event. The 16-year-old walked hand-in-hand with his mom on the red carpet as they posed for photos. However, the teenagers’s attendance at the event held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood reportedly annoyed Brad. A source close to the actor told Page Six that he thought Angelina deliberately took their son along to “push his buttons.” Knox’s attendance was his first public outing in three years, hence Brad’s reaction.

“Brad finds it a bit coincidental that a judge signed off on the [Château] Miraval trial just days before Knox joined Angelina at the Governors Awards,” the source said, adding, “So he really questions her motive for bringing Knox.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Son Offered to Go

Meanwhile, another insider close to the actress revealed that Knox offered to be on the red carpet without compulsion. They disclosed that Angelina was proud to have her son with her. The source added that Angelina has always respected Knox’s decision to stay out of the spotlight since he was shy. Hence, she was delighted when he decided to join her.

“She couldn’t be more proud of him, and they had a really memorable evening together,” the source added.

However, the initial source claimed that part of Brad’s heartache is the kids dropping his name. They claimed that the Bullet Train actor is still “hurt” that his daughter with Angelina, Shiloh, dropped Pitt from her last name. The source revealed that Brad no longer had a good relationship with Shiloh and blamed Angelina, who “turned the kids against him.” They noted that Brad believes the Eternals actress is deliberate about her actions.

Brad Pitt Wins Three Trials Against Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt scored a legal victory over Angelina Jolie in their winery suit a few days before the 2024 Governors Awards. The ex-spouses have been locked in a bitter fight over the $500 million vineyard they purchased in 2008. The actress sold her share of Château Miraval to a Russian billionaire, Shefler Stoli, a development Brad claimed negated their agreement to offer each other the right of first refusal. He has been fighting to have the decision rescinded since his ex-wife made the sale.

Brad’s side has maintained that Angelina Jolie sold her shares “out of spite” after the judge granted Brad Pitt 50-50 custody of the children. Angelina’s attempts to have the case thrown out of court were dismissed, and a judge allowed it to move to trial. Additionally, Brad won another victory when a French appeals court ordered the Stoli group to return papers taken during a raid on Miraval to Brad and his partners. A Luxembourg court also made Brad the majority shareholder when it took ten percent of shares from Stoli.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s fight since their divorce has remained one of history’s toughest headline-making divorce proceedings. However, the situation has affected their family. Hopefully, they settle their differences amicably soon so their children don’t have to continue suffering.
