Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, once the darling couple of Hollywood, have been involved in a lengthy and controversial divorce battle since 2016. Pitt is known to have a strained relationship with all of his 6 kids with Jolie, out of whom 3 are adopted. One of them, Shiloh, had previously changed her name from Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to just Shiloh Jolie.

It comes after allegations of physical and emotional abuse were levied against Pitt by his former wife in the lawsuit, with a September 2016 plane trip from France to LA being cited as the turning point for the family. Even as the proceedings are only nearing completion, Pitt seemingly has a new worry on the table.
It appears as though the now 60-year-old actor fears his children will one day do a tell-all interview exposing him, something he has allegedly stopped Jolie from doing.

Multiple sources have stated that Brad Pitt has done his part to ensure that Angelina Jolie does not go public with the allegations made as part of the lawsuit. While several of the couple’s kids have changed their names legally, including Shiloh, Vivienne, and Zahara, all of them had stayed mum publicly thus far, something which Angelina Jolie has also encouraged, according to Variety.
Another recent report claimed that while Pitt may have succeeded in silencing Jolie, he can do nothing about his children choosing to make the revelations public: (via TheThings)
This is a dark cloud hanging over Brad’s head. He can muzzle Angelina with his lawyers, but he can’t muzzle his own kids They’ve stayed totally quiet so far, but at some point down the line it’s very plausible that they’re going to want to tell their side of the story. There’s nothing to stop them from doing it. And when they decide to go ahead and talk, Brad will just have to sit back and take it.
And while Brad Pitt has reportedly maintained that he wants another chance at fatherhood, the kind of allegations against him and the multiple name changes mean that he might as well be backed into a corner.

A recent court filing had claimed the following, stating that instances of abuse were common even before September 2016 flight: (via Variety)
While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him.
Furthermore, Jolie’s lawyer had also claimed that he shook the actress after grabbing hold of her head, and choked one of his children while grabbing another’s neck. The statement had claimed the following:
To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane’s seats injuring Jolie’s back and elbow. The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened. Many were crying.
Jolie proceeded to arrange separate transportation for herself and the children, and was met with further physical abuse at the hotel the family was staying at, according to the court document.
Needless to say, while Pitt has not responded to the above allegations, he might as well be headed towards further controversy, if the trend continues.
