Brad Pitt seen for FIRST TIME after being branded ‘a**hole’ by son Pax

Brad Pitt showed off his need for speed on Tuesday when he was spotted for the first time since he was called a ‘world-class a**hole’ by his adopted son Pax in a resurfaced Instagram post.

Pitt, 59, didn’t seem too concerned by the bruising comments when he was spotted out in Los Angeles with his recently purchased $200,000 electric Porsche Taycan.

Just a day before, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that his 19-year-old adopted son Pax had ruthlessly bashed his father as a ‘terrible and despicable person’ on his private Instagram in a Father’s Day post from 2020.

Sources close to Pitt subsequently said that he found it ‘depressing to see this dragged up.’

His pals have also lashed out at his ex Angelina Jolie, accusing her of carrying out ‘textbook parental alienation.’

The actor was seen dropping by an office building for a meeting before getting back into the speedy emissions-free vehicle. 

Brad looked as if he was ready to do some outdoor exploring with his brown button-up linen shirt, which featured large breast pockets and was left undone at the top and bottom buttons.

He wore the item over a white undershirt and paired it with matching brown pants with rectangular pockets. 

The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star blocked out the piercing sun with a frayed bucket hat that looked as if it could have been woven from straw, and he wore weathered off-white sneakers.

He completed the casual-chic ensemble with a cool pair of aviator sunglasses, a gold luxury wristwatch and multiple gold bracelets on his opposite wrist, as well as what looked like a gold signet ring.

As Brad returned from the building to get into his luxury vehicle, he pulled out what appeared to be a $20 bill and tipped the valet while grinning.

As he drove away, he whipped off his hat to reveal his short blond hair, which was messily styled. 

According to Car And Driver, Pitt’s electric Porsche Taycan is able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a stunning 2.4 seconds, though it trades off speed and power for a smaller-than-usual vehicle range of up to 246 miles per full charge.

While the base model costs around $92,500, the speedy Turbo S version costs nearly $200,000.

The late Matthew Perry was also a fan of the electric sports car and was seen driving one back in May, and Spider-Man star Tom Holland also owns one of the pricy sets of wheels.

Brad’s meeting and joy ride happened just a day after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed years-old posts from his adopted son Pax, who furiously bashed him in a Father’s Day post from 2020.

His angry comment was appended with a photo of his father accepting his Best Supporting Actor trophy for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood at the Academy Awards.

‘Happy Father’s Day to this world class a**hole!!’ he began, before saying Pitt repeatedly proved himself ‘to be a terrible and despicable person.’

‘You have no consideration or empathy toward your 4 youngest children who tremble in feat when in your presence,’ he continued.

Brad’s four youngest children, all of whom he shares with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, include Zahara, now 18, and the couple’s three biological children, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Angelina recently supported Zahara as she was inducted into the first historically Black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, at Spelman College in Atlanta.

Although Pax was the third child to be adopted — after brother Maddox, 22, and Zahara — that Jolie adopted, he is one year older than Zahara.

Pax continued: ‘You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so.

‘You have made the lives of those closest to me 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***ing awful human being!!!’ he concluded on a venomous note.

Pax was adopted by Angelina on her own from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2007. He was three years old at the time and had been abandoned as a newborn by his biological mother at an obstetrics hospital.

Brad formally adopted him the following year.

When Pitt and Jolie, 48, split in 2016, just two years after they had married in a private ceremony in France, the children stayed with their mother amid reports of an altercation aboard a private jet between eldest son Maddox and his father.

Now it is clear that the relationship between Pax and Pitt is also troubled, with the 19-year-old accusing his dad of making his life ‘hell’ in the extraordinary social media rant.

Pax posted the broadside at Pitt to the stories section of his private Instagram account when he was 16.

A source has confirmed the private account does belong to Pax. ‘It’s the account he uses for friends — friends from school mostly. He never says much about his parents, keeps himself to himself, so that was unusual.’

Pax did not say if there was a specific event that had set him off or whether it was a culmination of years of tension

Jolie and Pitt met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. They insisted at the time that there was no infidelity but after a picture emerged of them on a beach in Kenya with Maddox, Aniston filed for divorce.

But their fairytale romance fell apart in 2016 and the couple once known as ‘Brangelina’ have been embroiled in acrimonious battles ever since.

Their divorce was finalized in 2019, and though Jolie initially had full custody of the children, an agreement was thrashed out in 2021 that allowed Pitt to have them 50 percent of the time.

But shortly afterward, John Ouderkirk, the judge in charge of the case, was revealed to have close business relationships with Pitt’s lawyers.

As a result, he was disqualified from the case and custody was returned to Jolie, with Pitt being allowed ‘custodial visits’ only.

He was also investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services over child abuse allegations following the alleged altercation with Maddox on a private jet five days before Jolie filed for divorce.

Maddox is said to have stood up for Jolie during a fight between his parents.

A source later told People that Pitt had been drunk at the time, adding: ‘There was an argument between him and Angelina.

‘There was a parent-child argument which was not handled in the right way and escalated more than it should have.’

Jolie told authorities Pitt had behaved ‘like a monster’ on the jet. 

Pitt was subsequently cleared of all charges and has since quit both booze and smoking cannabis and was photographed attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in September 2016.

Although neither Pitt nor Jolie have ever spoken publicly about the incident, Jolie told Vogue in 2021 that she had dumped Pitt for the ‘wellbeing’ of her family.

She added: ‘It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds.

‘In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people.’

The couple are still involved in a contentious $350 million battle over Chateau Miraval, the vineyard they bought in France. Jolie sold her half to a subsidiary of Stoli Group after the plane incident because, her lawyers said, she was ‘uncomfortable’ being involved in the sale of alcohol.

In a filing this summer she called her ex a ‘bully’ who acted emotionally, irrationally and ‘ultimately illegally’ over the vineyard. He accused her of staging ‘a hostile takeover of the business.

Pax remains close to his mother and has been seen with her in New York where she has been staying while creating her new Atelier Jolie line.

He has now graduated from high school — choosing to skip the graduation ceremony to avoid paparazzi.

Earlier this year, it was reported that he had become an artist — creating work under the pseudonym ‘Embtto’ — but the Page Six story turned out to be a hoax.

DailyMail.com reached out to Angelina and Pax’s representative for comment but received no response. Brad’s rep declined to comment.

On Tuesday, the same day as Brad’s outing in his Porsche, an insider close to Pitt told The Sun: ‘It’s frustrating to see Brad being painted as some kind of “bad person” when it’s far from the truth.’ 

The source added that the Inglourious Basterds star has ‘great respect’ for each one of his children and says it ‘speaks volumes’ that he ‘chooses to keep a dignified silence’ about the situation.
