Angelina Jolie was reportedly 'shocked and worried' after learning that her son Pax had crashed his e-bike in Los Angeles.The 20-year-old — whom Angelina shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt — is 'still recovering' in the wake of the devastating crash, a source told People on Wednesday.They added that he was currently 'uncomfortable' and would 'need further treatments' down the line. The update comes just days after Pax was released from the ICU, when a source previously said he would face a 'long road of recovery.'Angelina's son crashed his e-bike into the back of a stopped car at an intersection on the crowded Los Feliz Boulevard on July 30. Complicated the matter was the fact that Pax appears to have hit his head when he collided with the car, and he was not wearing a helmet at the time.The source added that he was 'very lucky' to not have more significant injuries. 'It could have been much worse since he didn't wear a helmet,' they said.Although the crash was devastating for his mother Angelina to hear about, she and his sibling had come together to support him in the aftermath.'Angie was shocked and worried when she got the call about the accident,' the source said, adding that her five other children — Maddox, 22; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — 'are supporting Pax as best as they can.'A source previously told People that Angelina's son had 'suffered complex trauma' from the crash, and he will reportedly require physical therapy to aid his recovery.Pax's medical emergency happened amid his ongoing estrangement from his father Brad Pitt. An insider exclusively told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Brad has been distressed over getting 'radio silence' from his family regarding Pax's condition.'Don't expect Pax's accident to bring the family dynamic back in any way as Pax is 100 percent on Angie's side and doesn't want any well wishes or remorse from Brad,' the source continued.Although Brad was 'upset' that his son was injured and hoped to 'help out in any way possible,' the insider said that prospect 'doesn't seem to be something that will ever happen since there is a forever disconnect and divide between them all.''It is gutting Brad that it has got to this point that he can't even be a worried dad, as all he is getting is radio silence from finding out exactly what is going down with his son,' they added. 'It is just another distressed circumstance that is part of Brad's normal life.''He wishes that everyone could be above it all since this situation involves people's lives, but emotions as they are between Pax, Angie and Brad are so bad that there will never be a time where it gets to a place where things are OK,' the insider said.However, another source close to Angelina claimed that Brad had made 'no effort' to try to see Pax since his crash.'All Angelina wants is peace, but he is determined to continue fighting her and blaming everyone but himself for the situation he's now in,' they said. Pax was adopted by Angelina in Vietnam in 2007 at age three. Brad later joined her in adopting him in 2006. Angelina and Brad are legally divorced but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France.Last week, the Eternals star accused Brad of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse, according to People.She had previously accused him of assaulting her on a private jet while they were traveling with their children.

Brad Pitt feels completely helpless his son is still refusing to have any contact with him as he recovers from his terrifying bike crash with mom, Angelina Jolie, by his side. Pax Jolie-Pitt was released from ICU on the weekend after being treated for crashing his electric bike into the back of a car stopped for a red light on Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles on July 29. A new witness to the crash has revealed horrifying details about the 'complex trauma' the 20-year-old suffered, and confirmed he wasn't wearing a helmet. Lola Cavalli, who applied first aid to Pax at the scene, told Entertainment Tonight he was bleeding from the head. 'And it was not a lot of blood. Like, you didn't see like a fountain of blood rushing out.[But] his mouth was filled with blood. When [he] was trying to speak, I saw a little tiny stream of blood coming out of the mouth.' He now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy - and mom Angelina Jolie, 49, has been there every step of the way. According to sources, Pax 'doesn't want any well wishes' from his 'distraught dad' Brad, 60, even though the 'heartbroken' Hollywood actor is determined to help out in any way possible. An insider exclusively told DailyMail.com that Brad also wishes his family dynamic wasn't divided and that he wasn't getting 'radio silence' about his son's health. They said: 'Don't expect Pax's accident to bring the family dynamic back in any way as Pax is 100% on Angie's side and doesn't want any well wishes or remorse from Brad. 'Brad is upset that Pax got hurt and would love to help out in any way possible during his recovery, but it doesn't seem to be something that will ever happen since there is a forever disconnect and divide between them all. 'It is gutting Brad that it has got to this point that he can't even be a worried dad, as all he is getting is radio silence from finding out exactly what is going down with his son. 'It is just another distressed circumstance that is part of Brad's normal life.'He wishes that everyone could be above it all since this situation involves people's lives, but emotions as they are between Pax, Angie and Brad are so bad that there will never be a time where it gets to a place where things are OK.' The source added: 'Brad doesn't know what to do because there is nothing he can do or is allowed to do, it is heartbreaking.'
But another insider claimed Brad hadn't taken any steps to see Pax. They said: 'Brad has not tried to see Pax. He has made no effort to do so. Angelina has raised these kids a single mom for the last eight years. They love their mother. 'All Angelina wants is peace, but he is determined to continue fighting her and blaming everyone but himself for the situation he's now in.' DailyMail.com contacted representatives for Angelina for comment. A representative for Brad declined to comment. Last week, Brad was said to be 'distraught' that he had been unable to speak to his estranged son following his accident. 'It is very upsetting to Brad whenever he hears of one of the kids being hurt and he feels completely powerless because there is nothing that he can do at all,' an insider told DailyMail.com. 'A father's inclination would be to go to the hospital, or to call him. He's tried so many times but the kids won't take his calls. His hands are tied. 'Brad doesn't think that Pax should be driving a scooter without a helmet to begin with - he should have been in a car.' Oscar winning actress Angelina has been by her son's side since he was hospitalized.Another witness said they discovered him lying lifeless on the ground and he only regained consciousness once paramedics arrived. Pax, like several of his other siblings, is estranged from his famous father. In 2020, the youngster called his father a 'world class a**hole' who makes his four youngest children 'tremble in fear' in an explosive Instagram rant posted for Father's Day. Angelina adopted Pax from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2007. He was three years old and had been dumped as a newborn by his heroin-addicted biological mother. Brad formally adopted him the following year. Angelina and Brad are legally divorced but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France.Last week, the Eternals star accused Brad of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse, according to People.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son Pax has been released from ICU following his e-bike crash.The 20-year-old will have a 'long road of recovery' and 'suffered complex trauma' a source told People of his condition.'Pax has been released from the ICU. He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.' The insider added that Pax and Angelina, 49, 'are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.' The Oscar winner remains by her son's side, as well as his other siblings, with the source noting they 'have been visiting and helping', and adding, 'They are all very close.'As for Pax's estranged father Brad, a rep for the 60-year-old actor declined to comment when asked by DailyMail.com if he planned to visit his son in hospital. It comes following claims that the actress is reportedly seeking help for her 'troubled' son. Angelina has been by Pax's side at the hospital since he crashed into a car during rush hour in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles on Monday, July 29.He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. A source told TMZ on Tuesday that witnesses who lived nearby initially believed Pax had died in the crash as they discovered him lying lifeless on the ground. It was not until paramedics arrived at the scene that Pax regained consciousness. Page Six is reporting that this was not the first time the young man has been involved in incidents involving two and four wheeled vehicles. 'His friends are concerned about him,' an insider told the outlet alleging, 'He's being reckless. They're worried.' DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Angelina for comment. 'He has had a string of car crashes,' the source asserted. 'It's not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him.' The publication reported that LAPD sources said there was nothing new to add to the initial report of a traffic collision, when asked if charges might be pending. Responding police and paramedics opted to rush Pax to the hospital after he complained of head pain.
Despite his injuries, TMZ's source claimed that Pax's bike did not show any obvious signs of damage.Pax — who like several of his other siblings is estranged from his famous father — had reportedly been driving down Los Feliz Boulevard around 5 p.m., which put him on the regularly crowded street during rush hour traffic. According to law enforcement sources, he had been coming up to an intersection when he crashed his bike into the back of the car, which had already stopped for the red light. The car's driver reportedly did their duty by getting out and checking on the injured Pax before police and paramedics arrived. Although it's not clear exactly where he collided with the car, witnesses at the scene said he complained of pain in his hip, and they said he appeared to have injured his head in the crash.In recent months, Pax has been spotted around Los Angeles riding on a Talaria Sting R MX4 electric bike, which costs around $3,000, though it's not known if that was the same bike he crashed. He was most recently pictured on the dirt bike on July 11. Notably, he wasn't wearing a helmet when he was pictured riding the bike in public. California state laws require all bike and motorcycle riders under 18 to wear helmets, but it's unclear if the type of bike Pax was riding at the time would have required him to wear a helmet. The crash also reportedly took place on a street near Angelina's Los Angeles residence. Angelina rushed to the hospital to be by her son's beside following the crash. Pax, who was born in Vietnam, was adopted by Jolie at age three, joining siblings Maddox, 22, and Zahara, 19.
He is reportedly close to them as well as siblings Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. Maddox and Zahara were adopted by Jolie's then-partner, Brad, in 2005 and he adopted Pax in 2008. All three of the older children have been estranged from Pitt following an incident on a private airplane in 2016, when the actor allegedly hit one of his children. No charges were filed after an investigation into the alleged incident. Jolie and Pitt are legally divorced but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France. On Thursday, the Eternals star accused Pitt of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse, according to People. 'In the court paper, the Maleficent star asserted she 'was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling' when she sold her share of Miraval in 2021.'Instead,' she told the court in the filing, '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.'

Angelina Jolie accuses Brad Pitt of trying to make her sign an $8.5M NDA to 'force her silence' about her abuse allegations against him

Angelina Jolie has claimed Brad Pitt tried to make her sign an $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement to 'force her silence' about her abuse allegations against him.Jolie, 49, filed for divorce against Pitt, 60, in September 2016, after a mysterious dispute on a private plane in the presence of their son Maddox, now 22.Early in the proceedings, the FBI looked into allegations that Pitt became 'physical' with Maddox on the jet, but the investigation was closed with no charges filed. However, in court documents she filed this April, Jolie accused Pitt of having been abusive to her 'well before' the plane ride.Now, in the course of the ongoing legal battle over their winery in the South of France, Jolie has repeated the abuse claim, in a new filing obtained by People.DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Pitt and Jolie for comment.Jolie and Pitt first acquired the winery, the Chateau Miraval, in 2008 when they had been romantically involved for years but were not yet married. The feud over the property stems from the fact Jolie sold her half to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler for $62 million in 2021, amid her divorce proceedings.Pitt sued her over the sale, insisting that she was contractually obligated to obtain his consent before offloading her portion of the Chateau Miraval.Amid the collapse of their marriage, Pitt and Jolie also plunged into a rancorous custody battle over their six children, four of whom are now adults.They conceived three biological children - Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 - and also adopted Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.Jolie submitted her latest legal filing in the winery case to the Los Angeles County Superior Court on July 25, bringing up both the custody battle and abuse claims.Her legal team insisted that when she sold her half of the Chateau Miraval, she 'was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling.'The documents asserted: '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.'Her attorneys added: '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.'
Jolie's team has previously argued Pitt should be made to turn over his personal communications as part of discovery in the winery case.Pitt has pushed back against the 'wide-ranging' and 'intrusive' demand, with his lawyers claiming Jolie wanted access to information 'about such sensitive issues as therapy he voluntarily undertook' after the plane ride.However, he maintained that he had been willing to turn over 'documents sufficient to show everything that occurred on the flight.'In legal documents submitted July 15, Pitt's team accused Jolie of attempting to 'turn this business dispute into a re-litigation of the former couple’s divorce case.'They put forward the view that Pitt's 'private, third-party communications' from the period of the 2016 plane ride were not pertinent to the Chateau Miraval lawsuit.However, in her court filing last week, Jolie's team remained firm in their insistence that Pitt should have to submit communications relevant to her abuse claims.'Jolie has no desire to litigate these issues and for years never publicly discussed any of it,' the legal documents alleged. 'Rather than appreciate her discretion, Pitt sought to contractually mandate and enforce it.'They added: 'Because she refused, he seeks to punish her, demanding $67 million plus punitive damages. In so doing, Pitt placed his conduct squarely at issue. While Jolie sincerely wishes Pitt would end this litigation and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, that cannot happen while Pitt relentlessly pursues her.'In May, a judge ordered Jolie to turn over 'all NDAs to which she is a party,' complying with with a request made by Pitt's team in legal papers obtained by DailyMail.com.Jolie previously claimed that she refused to sell her half of the Chateau Miraval to Pitt because the NDA he had insisted on as a condition was 'controlling and punishing.'
However, Pitt's attorneys shot back that her objection to the NDA was a 'pure pretext' for the sale to Shefler, whose business empire includes Stolichnaya vodka.They argued that it was normal for public figures to seek NDAs, asserting that Jolie had also availed herself of the measure in the past. 'For example, fewer than six months after the sale to Stoli, Jolie's lawyer proposed an ever broader, mutual non-disparagement clause to Pitt, in connection with resolving the couple's divorce, and Jolie has signed or requested comparable NDAs from others,' Pitt's lawyers alleged in a legal filing in May.Pitt's team requested that Jolie be ordered to turn over all her NDAs, as well as other related documents, and a judge granted the motion.He allegedly remains estranged from his children, to the point that this May, after turning 18, Shiloh filed to have her surname changed from Jolie-Pitt to simply Jolie.Meanwhile Pax recently suffered a terrifying accident when he crashed his dirt bike into a car in Los Angeles while not wearing a helmet.Sources informed DailyMail.com that Jolie was 'by his side in hospital,' while 'Brad is distraught and worried over Pax's accident, but he is unable to reach him.'The accident came four years after Pax unleashed an explosive social media rant calling his father a 'world class a**hole' and a 'terrible and despicable person' who had caused his four younger children to 'tremble in fear.'
