Angelina Jolie 'banned' Brad Pitt from seeing their children over Thanksgiving

This is one celeb split that is going from bad to worse, with it being reported that Angelina Jolie “banned” her estranged husband, Brad Pitt, from seeing their six children over Thanksgiving weekend.

Yikes.

Brad apparently fled the US to spend the holiday at the Turks and Caicos Island with his friends after Angelina told him that he would not be seeing 15-year-old Maddox, 12-year-old Pax, 11-year-old Zahara, 10-year-old Shiloh and eight-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox for the duration.

Speaking to the New York Post’s Page Six column, a source explained: “He was at Amanyara in Turks and Caicos over Thanksgiving in a private villa [because] Angie wouldn’t let him see the kids.

“Brad was with one of his male buddies for the weekend.”

Angelina filed for divorce in a shock move back in September, with it being reported at the time that Brad had “got physical” with Maddox during an argument on board a private jet.

However, there is no evidence to support this and Brad has since been cleared by Social Services as well as the FBI.

Despite this, it was reported that Brad has only seen his children three times since the divorce bombshell, with the actor being left heartbroken when the kids refused to call him ‘dad’ or speak to him during a recent visit.

Kris Herzog, a bodyguard who works with the family and Angelina’s dad, Jon Voight, said at the time: “Brad is so angry. From what I’ve heard from Brad and Jon, even the kids are turning against him. He’s alleging they won’t even speak to him and they won’t call him Daddy or Father.

“They’ve had two meetings with Los Angeles family services and in both none of the kids would talk to him. He stormed out of the second one really angry, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

It is currently unknown if Brad will be able to spend time with his children over the Christmas period next month.
