The dispute between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who were once one of the most popular couples in the industry, recently took an unexpected turn. A recent clip of their daughter Zahara and an alleged resurfaced post from their son indicated that the kids might not have a very healthy relationship with their father. However, it seems that the actor has started working on rebuilding his image amid the drama surrounding Jolie and their kids by taking a page out of Johnny Depp’s book.
New reports suggest that the Bullet Train star has had Matthew Hiltzick of Hiltzik Strategies on his payroll since 2016, whose one of the most recent clients includes the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
Brad Pitt Reportedly Hired Johnny Depp’s PR Team
When the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce broke out amid their alleged altercation, both were quick to enlist attorneys. However, the Fight Club actor reportedly took a step further and brought in Matthew Hiltzick probably to do the damage control regarding his image.
Reports suggest that he is once again at his play, especially following the claims about Pitt’s relationship with his kids. A report from The Things alleges that the Oscar-winning actor has been seeking to repair his public image and portray himself as a good father.
The founder of Hiltzik Strategies might have stayed away from featuring in the press surrounding the former couple. However, he is known for representing Johnny Depp during his legal battle with his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Thanks to his strategic handling of media narratives, Depp emerged from the train relatively unscathed. Some of his notable clients include Katie Couric, Justin Bieber, Harvey Weinstein, and individuals in Donald Trump’s inner circle.
Brad Pitt Wants to Reconcile With His Kids
The Things suggests that Matthew Hiltzick is orchestrating a positive spin through carefully placed “sources” to portray Brad Pitt in a favorable light regarding his children. As per an insider, the actor has “turned a corner in what he wants and is living a whole new life” and is now putting his family first.
Sources also claim that Pitt has a good relationship with Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Knox Jolie-Pitt, and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and wants to reconcile with his son Maddox as well. The report claimed,
“He acknowledged his drinking was a problem, and he’s truly sorry for his part in the split. He loves Maddox dearly, and even though they’re still estranged, Brad will always hold out hope for reconciliation.”
However, the claims are also alleged to be attempts to rebuild his public image. But how involved he is with his children remains unknown. While the strategic public relations moves continue to be at play, the authenticity of the narrative crafted by Hiltzick and his team continues to be surrounded by questions.
