Brad Pitt accuses Jolie of using son to provoke him

Although Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been separated for many years, numerous issues remain unresolved. The primary point of contention, naturally, is their children, who reside with their mother post-split. Consequently, they seldom see their famous father.

Recently, there has been much speculation about Angelina Jolie taking her youngest son to an event. Knox's presence at the Governor's Awards naturally drew Brad's attention. According to foreign media, the star perceived it as a jab from his ex-wife.

According to "In Touch," viewing photos of his 16-year-old child took an emotional toll on Pitt.

It was very hard for Brad to see photos of Knox with Angelina on the red carpet because he hardly gets to see him - shared a tabloid informant, adding: He’s proud of Knox and has no issue with him getting out there and making a name for himself but he can’t help but feel it’s all very calculated by Angelina to mess with him.

Even though the 60-year-old is "pretty much used" to not seeing his children, the situation is reportedly still "depressing" for him. A source close to Brad highlights instances of Jolie allegedly obstructing his access to the children.

Every year she pulls some sort of stunt around the holidays that’s so obviously aimed at hurting him. Whether it’s taking the kids far away for a trip over the holidays to make it next to impossible for him to see them or filing something with the courts to throw a wrench into things - we learn.

An "In Touch" informant conveyed that although the actor’d "love to see his kids," he has long held low expectations due to Angelina's actions.

It’s incredibly frustrating and sad but he’s trying not to get sucked down by it, he can’t control her actions. All he can do is focus on getting his court mandated time with his kids and being the best dad he can be.
