Angelina Jolie, who appeared in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" film, is apparently looking for aid for her troublesome son Pax, who is still in the hospital after a serious accident involving his electric bike. On Monday, July 29, the incident occurred in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles just as rush hour was beginning to begin.
Pax, who is twenty years old, is said to have incurred significant injuries after being involved in a collision with a car while riding his bicycle. At the time of the collision, he was not wearing a helmet, according to the reports obtained, The Daily Mail reported.
For starters, Pax was adopted by Angelina at the age of three, and she became a member of her family along with her siblings Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh, as well as her twins Knox and Vivienne. Pax was born in Vietnam.
Since the accident took place, the Oscar winner has been present in the hospital, where she is staying by her son's side. It has been brought to the attention of Pax's friends that this is not the first time he has been involved in circumstances that involve vehicles, which has caused them to be concerned for his health.
"His friends are concerned about him. He's being reckless. They're worried. He has had a string of car crashes. It's not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him,” an unnamed source told entertainment news outlets, as per RadarOnline.
One of the issues that the Jolie-Pitt family has experienced in the past is that their elder siblings, Maddox and Zahara, who were also adopted by Brad Pitt in 2005, are supposedly separated from their father as a result of an alleged incident that occurred on a private flight in 2016.
Despite the fact that the investigations did not result in any charges being filed, the dynamics within the family continue to be tense. Though they are officially divorced, Angelina and Brad are currently embroiled in a dispute around the sale of their Miraval property in France.
On Thursday, August 1, the actress from “Eternals” made the accusation that her former partner was attempting to coerce her into signing a non-disclosure agreement worth $8.5 million in connection with her allegations of abuse.
When Angelina sold her stake of Miraval in 2021, her counsel stated that she "was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling."
"Instead, it was Pitt who refused to buy her interest unless he received his newly expanded NDA, enforceable by an $8.5 million holdback specifically designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up,” the court document read.
"While Pitt advances what is effectively an outdated privacy-of-domestic-violence argument to shield his abuse, his argument is not the law, at least not in this century, and he cites no authority that would give him such unwarranted protections. In any event, he waived any privacy protections when he sued Jolie,” it continued.
