On Sunday, Zahara Jolie graduated from Spelman College after earning her four-year Bachelor’s degree. Apparently, Angelina Jolie and all of Zahara’s siblings were in Atlanta for the graduation, and the family happily celebrated Zahara’s achievement. As she walked up to receive her diploma, the name read out was “Zahara Marley Jolie,” meaning Zahara completely dropped “Pitt” from her surname throughout college. We’ve seen that before, when Zahara joined a sorority, she also went by “Jolie” and not “Jolie-Pitt.”
The day after Z’s graduation, a “source close to Angelina” told TMZ that Brad Pitt did not reach out to Zahara before or around her graduation, and that “nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her. The day was about all she accomplished. Not whether he was willing to attend.” Sources also confirmed that Brad did not contact anyone about getting a ticket to Zahara’s graduation.
Well, Brad and his mangy team of crisis managers were absolutely furious that Angelina got that information in TMZ. A Pitt source told Entertainment Tonight: “It’s sad that someone would distract from this happy occasion by needlessly attacking a father who has been alienated from his family.” Ah, the ol’ parental-alienation chestnut. It’s literally been a decade and four of the kids are adults who can choose to see him or reconcile with him if they want. There’s a reason why they haven’t, and it’s not because Angelina may or may not have referred to Brad as a d–khead (which, btw, I don’t even think she’s done). Specifically with Zahara, this is the child whom Brad failed to acknowledge as his first-born daughter. When Shiloh dropped “Pitt” from her name legally, Pitt sources said: “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter.” Zahara is more than a year older than Shiloh.

Congrats to Zahara. 👏👏Hope she goes for a PhD.
I think only the Jolie brothers were present. Shiloh & Vivienne weren’t there.
I bet Spellman is democratic with their tickets and won’t sell extras to those who can afford to pay. It’s perfectly normal for families to split up who goes and who parties with the grad after. I’m sure the entire family is celebrating Zahara’s accomplishment.
Why would Spelman be stingy with tickets? They had 569 graduates in a 14,000 capacity convention center. Private colleges typically ask students how many tickets they’ll need for family & friends, then just shovel them out — iirc for mine ~2010 they just wanted to know if more than 6 tickets were needed for family & friends for capacity planning. But with 14,000 capacity convention center that’s hardly a consideration. After families have been spending ~$34K x 4 just for tuition & fees, it’s unlikely they’d parse out the cost of an extra graduation ticket or two.
The comments on TMZ and Daily Fail accounts have been brutal. The things said and emojis used smh, which I won’t mention…about the adopted kids especially are some of the most disgusting things I have ever read.
Many of which, let’s face it, are from JenHens.
As in Jennifer Aniston you telling me she has an actual named fan based like the Swifties??? Lol and an unhinged one to boot.Wow!
Yes. They’ve been all over the femalefirst site for two decades, writing absolute racist filth about Angelina Jolie and the children.
IMO chelsea handler is on there under several pseudonyms.
I think it’s far more likely to be Bradhens riled up by the manosphere.
There are no bradhens. Those bitches are jenhens, endlessly hoping Brad will ‘wise up’ and beg Jen to come back.
Often the same Karen base as middleton.
OMG they divorced more than 20 years ago. How old are these people that they even remember let alone care? Seems wildly unlikely.
Dip a toe in over there and you’ll witness the insanity.
Wait it looks like in a moment of sanity they took down their forums. I’m sure the cesspool moved to reddit or another free hate forum.
Irisrose, Jeebus, let it go.
Did you ever experience those hundreds of hate threads about Jolie from JenHens? I’m grateful they’ve been taken down now, but let’s not pretend it never happened and isn’t still happening as per Neeve’s OG comment.
No surprise. It’s a Trump/Nigel Farage world now.😢
Hope Zahara was able to have a great day.
I think this particular story blew up cause we’ve seen so many divorced celeb couples reunite for their kids’ graduation these past weeks.
Even Chris Rock -😯😯 -who was estranged from his daughters for a long time!!!
Really? I don’t wade into those articles or comments but that’s horrifying. WTAF. I’m tired.
It is exhausting, isn’t it? As if a white man shouldn’t held accountable for his abusive, racist, and disgusting behavior towards his ex-wife and their six children. Seven people who have wisely left him behind and continue happily in their lives without him.
And yet there in the underbelly are thousands (if not millions) who continue to support him.
Product of Trumps hateful world. Why are they so comfortable with saying the adopted kids don’t matter and resorting to racial comments about them?
Those places are cesspools just don’t go there
Brad alienated himself. If he wants a relationship with his kids he needs to take accountability for his own actions.
An observation of the pic of Pitt & his Angelina look-alike side piece….He’s aging badly & trying desperately to look trendily youthful, and failing miserably.
It’s true, Brad is aging like milk, and all these treatments and surgeries aren’t helping. Plus, his hair looks like a cheap wig. And his girlfriend doesn’t “look like Angelina,” she just “wants to look like Angelina, but it’s not working out well for her.”
This. 100%.
I grew up with an abusive father. Several years ago, when I mistakenly thought I had aged out of the abuse, he violently abused my not quite 2yr old (grabbed him by the neck, screaming and swearing, threatening to drop him onto a stone patio 12 ft below). I got myself and my kids out and went no contact, the rest of the family froze me out, and he spent the next 4 yrs playing the victim. He acted, I reacted, and I took the blame, shame, and stigma of being estranged, as well as the lasting ill-effects from the trauma spiral that I did not cause. F*** the manosphere, f*** Brad Pitt, f*** TMZ.
That’s horrific! I’m glad you and your kids are safe and away from all that. It truly infuriates me that the ones supposed to love and protect us can hurt us the most. Hope in time you heal from the trauma.
I’m glad AJ put it out there first because she already knew he would say he didn’t know or he tried to get a ticket and no one responded.
Anyway, he doesn’t care about the adopted kids. I felt like he was so focused on Shiloh because she is the spitting image of her mother.
The kids are old enough to make up their mind if they want to have a relationship with him. Plus he terrorized all them on that plane.
This is not a case of parental alienation. This is a family who has cut an abuser out of their lives for both their personal safety and to protect their peace. This man needs to look in a mirror and do some deep reflecting about WHY his kids no longer want him to be part of their lives.
Parental alienation is pseudoscience. Zahara is plenty old enough to make up her own mind, as are the rest of the kids.
Being so harmful that the kids make a choice to alienate themselves from him is not the flex he thinks it is.
This 👆💯
I’ve always felt that Brad and his parents only really cared about his biological kids.
Ugh, he is a terrible father. It seems not only has he made no effort with his children, abandoning them entirely, he was quick to make a distinction between his biological children and his adopted ones.
He has had years to make amends to Angelina and his children but has chosen not to. I do believe there are real cases of parential alienation, this is not one of them.
Congrats to Zahara Jolie on her graduation! I’m sure she had a great time celebrating with her loving family.
He alienated himself, clearly. I re-watched The Lost City this week and my god that man’s face was completely different. Made me wonder if seeing himself in that was the reason he got work done. That movie wasn’t even that long ago and it felt like a time capsule. Anyway I wish him nothing but continued insecurity and isolation!
He’s clearly the worst, but I really wish they’d both stop running to TMZ all the time. She’s not wrong, but it’s messy as hell.
Angelina doesn’t run to TMZ. This is the first story from her source in years. Pitt’s publicist and Agent are Matt Hiltzik and Bryan Lourd. They both covered up Weinstein’s crimes. They are in constant contact with TMZ, Daily Mail, Page Six and US weekly attacking Angelina on a regular basis. Those on his payroll have made Angelina’s life hell.
100%
Brad is fighting for his life to own his French winery. He should put the same effort in repairing his relationship with his kids.
This man just gave up on his children.
Speaking of Trump, he’s coming to Rockland County, New York tomorrow and my daughter’s job advised her not to come in because of all the excess traffic. Not only does the bastard want to be omnipotent, but also omnipresent. Keep out of my backyard, asshole!
My daughter attended Rockland Community College, where he is appearing. Why is the fantastic SUNY (State University of New York) system allowing him to step on their property? If I hadn’t moved upstate 6 weeks ago, I’d be there yelling at him. Yeah, get off my grass a**hole!
Brad’s focus (it seems to me) was always on Shiloh, not any of the other children. Weird. He never even tries to redeem himself, just blames Angelina for “alienation of affection.” He’s sacrificed his whole family for what?
You’re not the only one who thinks so. Shiloh looks a lot like Angelina, and as we know, Pitt is obsessed with her.
I wonder if he felt the same about the twins at any point. They have his DNA too, but we don’t hear about them as much as Shiloh.
Whatever, he’s a POS.
When Shiloh was born, Brad said he always wanted a daughter?
I guess his Black daughter doesn’t count.
I like to think Zahara’s mother’s day speech was a response to that hateful comment. She honored the mother that raised her and wonderful siblings that supported her. Just like he didn’t acknowledge her presence with that statement she won’t acknowledge his.
Happy to see so many people in those YouTube calling his lame attempt at always blaming Angelina out.
Of course he is alienated from his children, and he did it himself. His comments are just like him: dumb.
