Elon Musk has 12 kids with three different women. His daughter has nothing nice to say about him.

Celebrities are people just like us and it means that sometimes, they get into feuds with their family members — even with their own kids. But in rare cases, these feuds can turn into fully-fledged hatred of their mother or father. 

Most recently, the daughter of Elon Musk, Vivian Wilson, has come out swinging against her billionaire father after he made transphobic comments about her. 

Wilson is one of six children that Musk had with his first wife, Justine Wilson. 

In 2022, she filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court to legally change her name and gender. In the filing, she said she no longer wished "to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

So, what's the latest that Vivian has said about her dad, and what have other kids said about their famous parents? Let's dive in.

Vivian Wilson has fired back after her father Elon Musk made bigoted comments about her gender. 

In an interview with controversial commentator Jordan Peterson, Musk said "I lost my son. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason," he said. "The reason it's called 'deadnaming' is because, your son is dead. So my son is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."

Elon has previously tweeted stereotypes of queer people by saying that Vivian would say words like 'fabulous," as a child and developed a love of musical theatre. 

Vivian posted on Threads to deny basically everything Musk has said about her. 

"This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn't there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness," Wilson wrote.

"Obviously he can’t say that, so I've been reduced to a happy little stereotype... I think that says a lot about how he views queer people and children in general."

All up, the tech mogul has at least 12 children with three women, including three kids he shares with Grimes named X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus. The couple broke up in March 2022.

Brad Pitt and his son, Pax Jolie (plus some of his other kids have made their allegiances known).

It's been a turbulent few years for Brad Pitt and his six children, who he hasn't been photographed with since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.

In recent months, both Zahara Jolie and Shiloh Jolie have decided to drop their father's surname.

But the most vocal of his kids has to be son, Pax Jolie-Pitt, who has previously shared his hatred for his dad online. Back in 2020, Pax shared a dedication to his private account on Father’s Day.

Posting a photo of Pitt accepting an Oscar, Pax wrote "Happy Father’s Day to this world-class a**hole!! You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person," he began.

"You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence," Pax added, referring to Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. 

"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**king awful human being!!!" 

Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter, Miley Cyrus.

Since Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus got divorced in 2022, there's been growing tension between the parents and their kids. And given her social media activity, it looks like Miley has pledged her allegiances to her mother, Tish.

At the same time, Miley has started to make disparaging remarks about her father. When she appeared on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, Miley told the host she had "inherited the narcissism from my father".

Woody Allen and his children, Dylan and Ronan Farrow.

When it comes to family feuds, you don't get much more divisive than the Allens and Farrows. 

Dylan and Ronan Farrow's animosity toward their father, director Woody Allen, largely stems from Dylan's allegations of sexual abuse when she was a child. Dylan has consistently maintained that Allen molested her in 1992 when she was seven years old, an accusation that Allen vehemently denies.

Investigative journalist Ronan Farrow has been a staunch supporter of his sister, publicly defending her allegations, along with sharing his discomfort with his father's relationship with Soon-Yi Previn, Mia Farrow's adopted daughter.

During the 2014 Golden Globes when Allen was honoured with a lifetime achievement award, Ronan tweeted at the time "Missed the Woody Allen tribute - did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?" 

During the ceremony, Dylan tweeted a similar statement. Then in 2017, she penned an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times where she spoke further about her allegations which were then reexamined in the 2021 documentary Allen v. Farrow

Allen continues to deny the allegations.

Caitlyn Jenner and her son, Brody Jenner.

Brody Jenner hasn't publically said he hated his father Caitlyn Jenner — but he also hasn't said anything nice. 

As shown on The Kardashians, their relationship has been strained and complicated for many years with Brody accusing his dad of being an absent father — missing birthdays, graduations and weddings — and focusing his energy on his other daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.  

After the birth of his daughter, Brody stated, "I think that what I'm most excited about is doing things differently than my father did... just doing the exact opposite, being the absolute best father I can possibly be," he said on his YouTube channel

Jackie Chan and his daughter, Etta Ng.

Jackie Chan's daughter Etta Ng has been estranged from her father for years.

Etta was born in 1999 as a result of an affair Jackie Chan had with former beauty queen Elaine Ng Yi-Lei while he was married to his wife Joan Lin. 

Chan reportedly cut off contact with Elaine and Etta as soon as he learned of the pregnancy. 

In 2015, Etta confirmed she had no relationship with Chan. "He is my biological father but he is not in my life. He never existed in my life. I will never regard him as a father," she told E! News.

"I am not angry with my father, and have never wished to see him. As long as I have my mother with me, I don't need my father."

Jackie Chan has never publicly acknowledged Etta as his daughter.
