Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt share six children together.

"He’s put up with character assassinations and has been alienated from his kids," a source spilled to an outlet.

The issues stemmed from an incident that occurred during a flight from France back to the U.S. in which Pitt allegedly became angry while inebriated and got physical with Jolie and two of their children. The Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood actor was accused of grabbing and shaking his then-wife, and "choking" one of the kids and reportedly slapping another child during the altercation.

Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, following the alleged incident, but Pitt has continued to deny he was abusive to his family members on the flight.

A source defended the 60-year-old, claiming he did not handle a "parent-child argument" in the "right way" causing the situation to escalate, but insisted "it did not reach the level of physical abuse."

"No one was physically harmed," the source continued. "He did not hit his child in the face in any way. He did not do that; he is emphatic about that. He put his hands on him, yes, because the confrontation was spiraling out of control."

However, his son Pax called the actor a "terrible and despicable person" in a scathing 2019 post shared to his private Instagram account.

"Happy Father's Day to this world class a------!!" he wrote. "You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence."
