Brad Pitt called 'despicable' and a 'world class a**hole' by adoptive son in explosive Instagram post
Brad Pitt has reportedly come under fire from his adopted son in a scathing post on Instagram. Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, the 19-year-old adopted son of Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is said to have hit out at the actor by calling him an "awful human being" and a "world-class a**hole". The post is said to have been posted on Father’s Day in 2020, when Jolie-Pitt was just 16. He reportedly wrote at the time: "Happy Father's Day to this world-class a***hole"! "You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. "You have no consideration or empathy toward your 4 youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so. "You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. "So, Happy Father's Day, you f***ing awful human being!" Pax was adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage near Ho Chi Minh City in 2012. He is one of six children the former couple have together, along with Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox. The comment was reportedly posted to Pax’s Instagram story, with resurfaced screenshots having gone viral this week, MailOnline reports. Pitt and Jolie split after six years of marriage in 2016. Jolie cited “irreconcilable differences” between them when filing for divorce. Pitt was also investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services over child abuse allegations following an elleged altercation with son Maddox on a private jet five days before Jolie filed for divorce. Pitt denied any allegations of any abuse against his children, a source close to the actor said at the time. Pitt was subsequently cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services after being investigated. Then, in 2022, a detailed account of what transpired on the private plane was made public after FBI records were leaked to the press. According to the documents, Jolie told investigating officers that Pitt’s actions during the flight from France to Los Angeles frightened their children, aged between 8 and 15 at the time. Jolie also said that Pitt allegedly lunged at one of their kids after they called him a “prick”, adding she had to hold him back “in a choke hold”.

Comedian Matt Rife under fire for 'domestic violence' joke in Netflix special
Comedian Matt Rife has responded following backlash over his Netflix special that opens with a joke about domestic violence. In a clip taken from Natural Selection, Rife tells an anecdote about a restaurant server with a black eye, who his friend claims 'should be in the kitchen' so no one can see her. "I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have that black eye", Rife quips. However, instead of issuing an apology, the comedian posted a link on his social media to a website selling helmets for people with special needs. Yikes. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Snoop Dogg finally reveals the real reason behind the ‘give up smoke' announcement
Snoop Dogg shocked fans recently when he announced he was "giving up smoke," but all is not what it seems... Taking to social media last Thursday, the rapper wrote: "After much consideration and conversation with my family, I've decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time." The 52-year-old - whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr - surprised fans with this news as he is widely known for his love of smoking weed, he appeared to have a puff ahead of his Super Bowl performance last year and had fans desperately to fill his blunt roller vacancy. He even has a cannabis-focused digital media platform called Merry Jane which he launched in 2015, and also invested the THC-infused savory snacks called TSUMo Snacks. So this announcement left fans divided as some wished him well on this new chapter, while others weren't convinced this was true, believing it to be a publicity stunt. And it turns out they were right, as it was revealed to be part of an advert for smokeless fire pit company Solo Stove. "I have an announcement," Snoop Dogg says in the advert. "I’m giving up smoke. I know what you’re thinking, ‘Snoop? Smoke is kinda your whole thing?’ “But I’m done with it. I’m done with […] my clothes smelling all sticky icky. I’m going smokeless. Solo Stove fixed fire, they take out the smoke, clever.” Fans have been sharing their reaction to the publicity stunt, with some calling the move "one of the most brilliant marketing plans," and "the biggest prank of the year". It's fair to say Snoop got us all good with this stunt. How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Alison Hammond had the perfect response to Cliff Richard 'fat shaming'
Alison Hammond had the perfect response after Cliff Richard fat-shamed another celebrity on This Morning. Fatphobia and fat shaming are unfortunately common, but people are becoming better at calling it out when they see it. On ITV’s daytime breakfast programme This Morning, presenter Hammond was forced to call out fat-shaming comments made by Richard live on air during an anecdote about fellow singer Elvis Presley. The awkward moment came when Richard explained he had the opportunity to meet and have a picture taken with the iconic rock and roll performer shortly before he died. Richard explained he declined the photo because Elvis had “put on a lot of weight”. Richard continued: “I thought, ‘if I’m having a photograph taken with [Elvis] and it’s going to be hanging on my refrigerator, he’s got to look good’. And I put it off and, of course, then he died.” Hammond clapped back instantly, saying: “You should never have put it off just because they’re a little bit heavier.” Failing to read the room, Richard then explained to viewers that they should take the chance to meet people they are a fan of, “even if they’ve put on weight”. “Is that why you don’t want me at your house?” Hammond followed up before quickly moving the conversation on. Hammond has previously been open about her weight struggles and was widely praised for not letting Richard’s comments go unnoticed. “Well done @AlisonHammond. Fat shaming is not to be promoted #ThisMorning,” one viewer wrote. Another said: “Cliff Richard fat-shaming Elvis on @thismorning with no shame even when put in his place (far too politely) by the Goddess @AlisonHammond. YUK.” “How rude was Cliff Richard on #ThisMorning today - he said it comes easy to him to be nice, then in the next breath said he didn't want a photo with Elvis because Elvis had put on weight. “Glad Alison Hammond was there to embarrass him. I've gone off Cliff now, shallow t***,” said another person. Another argued: “The only positive thing about that interaction was how deftly Alison Hammond dealt with it.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

In an Instagram post, Twist wrote: “When you consider that H has a legacy of kindness and inclusion, has always made every effort to make everyone feel seen and appreciated for exactly who they are... there’s an irony in the negativity he’s been shown for having a haircut." “Sorry but I don’t get it," she added. The post included a clear snap of Styles with his shaved head, followed by a screenshot of a New York Post headline that reads: "Harry Styles fans shocked over shaved head reveal: ‘Ruined my entire life’." “Let’s uncrap that,” Twist’s image reads, as underneath the headline is changed to “Breaking news: It’s hair! It’s his! Also it will grow back. If he wants.” Since sharing the post to her 2.6m followers, fans of Styles have shared their support in the comments. One person said: "Love it, any mom would feel the same. Such a talented young man, Harry has it all! Move forward with pride, ignore the negative!" "Fr it's just hair, chill people. He's on a break! Let him chill," another person agreed. Someone else added: "Why judge him just for a haircut? It’s his life, his hair, his decision. Sadly people lost the actual message of Treat People With Kindness." "TELL THEM ANNE!!!! a lot of noise considering this guy just wants to quietly get on w his life of joy and love and kindness," a fourth person commented.

Singer Suki Waterhouse revealed she is pregnant with Robert Pattinson’s child during her concert. The British singer and model confirmed the couple’s happy news while on stage at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City this past weekend. During her performance, Waterhouse addressed the crowd and jokingly explained that her outfit choice was to distract from her obvious baby bump. Waterhouse told the crowd: “I thought I’d wear something really sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on. I’m not sure if it’s working.” The crowd began to cheer as she gestured towards her bump. The clip of the sweet reveal went viral online as people offered Waterhouse and Twighlight actor Pattinson their congratulations. The pair have been together for five years and are now due to become first-time parents after Waterhouse announced the news to her fans in the “cutest” of ways.

Someone else commented: “Omg this makes me so happy for her and Robert.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
