In Touch Exclusive Interview:The ugly truth about Angelina Jolie

“In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn’t do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she’s totally psycho,” Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s former bodyguard Bill tells In Touch exclusively.

In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s former bodyguard describes what he claims to be a woman whose erratic behavior, yelling fits and unreasonable demands deeply hurt not only staff members — but especially Brad and their six children. “Angelina has a public and a private persona,” claims the former bodyguard, who for security reasons chooses only to be identified by his first name, Bill. “In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn’t do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she’s totally psycho.” While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids’ often wild behavior, Angelina is anything but. “She screams and yells a lot, then walks away,” Bill says, explaining that Angelina would often “disappear into her suite for hours,” leaving staffers — and Brad — to deal with her children. “She would punish them with silence,” says Bill, adding, “I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way.” If the children were to get upset by her withholding behavior, he says, Angelina didn’t seem to care. “She is not moved by tears,” he explains. Still more disturbing, he recalls, Angelina has a “quirky habit” of “giggling when one of her kids would start crying.”

The bodyguard, who was working for Brad and Angelina at the start of their relationship, remembers “a lot of laughing and fun” and “spontaneous sex” back then. Now, though, the couple often sleeps in separate bedrooms, and that honeymoon phase seems to be ancient history. Even when they aren’t actively arguing, Bill says, Angelina “nitpicks” Brad — criticizing him constantly. “She says things like, ‘Are you going to wear that shirt again today?’ and tells him he’s like another one of the kids.” According to Bill, Brad has come to dread Angelina’s phone calls. “She’ll call him from the set to interrogate him,” Bill explains. “His face goes white, and he just stares at his feet.” When Angelina’s yelling gets to be too much, Brad will “put her on speaker and walk away from the phone,” Bill reveals. “Angelina will hang up and continue calling until one of the staff picks up.”

Ex-Bodyguard Says Angelina Jolie Is Kind Of A Monster

Alex Blagg | April 1, 2010 - 7:00 am

A former bodyguard for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has given an exclusive interview to InTouch magazine, claiming that Saint Angelina is not what she seems.

The bodyguard, who only wants to be identified as “Bill” claims that Angelina has a “public” and “private” persona and that we, the public, have no idea what Angelina is like behind closed doors. She is basically a mix of Mommie Dearest, shrew and villainess.

From the InTouch interview:

‘In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn’t do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she’s totally psycho.’ While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids’ often wild behavior, Angelina is anything but. ‘She screams and yells a lot, then walks away,’ Bill says, explaining that Angelina would often ‘disappear into her suite for hours,’ leaving staffers — and Brad — to deal with her children. ‘She would punish them with silence,’ says Bill, adding, ‘I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way.’ If the children were to get upset by her withholding behavior, he says, Angelina didn’t seem to care. ‘She is not moved by tears,’ he explains. Still more disturbing, he recalls, Angelina has a ‘quirky habit’ of ‘giggling when one of her kids would start crying.’

Bill also claims that Brad and Angelina’s relationship has cooled considerably and that Brad sleeps in a separate bedroom.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

unleash hell: the biggest clue is her brother

you know something is brewing when her brother suddenly shows up  and be heavily involved in her situation and family. suddenly he's always around.

back in 2009 when a rumor of break-up about brad and angelina was starting. he was there. when she  was filmimg "salt" he was there.

but the relationship was saved. we don't know by whom. it's either brad beg and beg her to salvage the relation or she thought now is not the right time to trash him, i still need him around. that's why they sue "the news of the world" back in 2010 for this:

"The News of the World alleged on 24 January that the couple visited a divorce lawyer in December 2009 to begin thrashing out a separation deal and that last month they signed a deal to divide their assets of £205m.
The article also claimed that the couple's children would live with Jolie but that Pitt would have visitation rights and that the separation would occur imminently."

which turns out to be true fast forward 2016. it makes sense now.

they survived 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 but 2015 and 2016 the brother start showing up again and this time he's not just visiting he's more and more around the kids. before angelina took her action against brad she made sure her kids are well adjusted with her creepy brother around. and the kids starts to call him dad.

when they visit the pope in vatican he was there.
when they vacationed in france last 2015 he was there.
when she directed her film in cambodia he was there.
when the family vacationed in thailand he was there.
when brad was still filming allied in spain and london he was there with her sister when she arrived back in l.a back in may 2016.
the kids playing in the park he was there.








instead of being a bridge and negotiator between brad and angelina he's taking sides quickly. instead of talking out with her sister he just go with the flow. and he's older than her. it's like he's a dog.a servant. a boy in a man's body.




"If you do 99 things correct and 1 thing incorrect, people will ignore the 99, and spread the 1 mistake" 

Unleash hell: Creepy Older Brother

-Maddox, meanwhile, is a mama’s boy and very protective of Angie, another source reveals. “Every time Angie and Brad fight, Maddox runs to her defense.”

-In true gossip style, Star magazine alleged in 2011 that Jolie was "jealous" of Reign because she "doesn't know how to share James with another woman."

-"I go to Angie for advice and won't do anything without her because we were so close as children," he told the Daily Mail in 2007.

Between their long-distance battles, Angie tried to relax by flying her Cessna airplane to Las Vegas with sons Maddox and Pax.

“She stayed over at the Wynn with the boys,” an insider says. “She told Mad it was a early birthday present, and he was so excited!”

Angie also carved out some time to visit her brother James Haven, who lives in Las Vegas part-time, for some much-needed comfort.

“Angie has been turning to James a lot lately, since things have gotten so difficult with Brad,” the source adds. “She said she felt like she just needed to see him and get a hug.”

Even before their [latest] blowout, Angelina was in dire need of alone time. Insiders say she’s been escaping to a suite at Raffles L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, where her beloved mother, Marcheline, lived up until her death from ovarian cancer in 2007.

“Angie likes to go to March’s old suite and be alone and think and cry,” the insider says. “She slips away whenever things get really bad with her and Brad. Sometimes she leaves late in the evening and spends the night, sometimes she only stays a few hours.”

The actress was spotted leaving the hotel alone on July 12, still looking upset as she drove away.

Unfortunately, [the kids] are caught up in the family meltdown. Little Shiloh has been throwing tantrums whenever Brad leaves the house, and she yells at Angie and Brad when they fight, the insider adds. “During a recent blowup, Shi ordered Angie, ‘Stop yelling at Daddy!’”

Shiloh even threw one of her dolls at Angie after a particularly fierce fight with Brad.

Maddox, meanwhile, is a mama’s boy and very protective of Angie, another source reveals. “Every time Angie and Brad fight, Maddox runs to her defense.”

COMMENTS

Anyone who wears blood in a vile around their neck and kisses their brother on the lips in public is a loon!

She evil pure and simple.She trying to destroy his life by taking his kids away.

This is turning into pure evil.

Maddox looks like a sulky, irritating kid. Anyway, to get to the point, is Angelina getting tested too? Because she's more likely to be on drugs than Brad, given her history.

Angelina Jolie = Nuttier than squirrel tvrds.


Does she have to undergo drug testing also?

I feel sorry for Brad! I'm sure he's no angel but I don't think he deserves this

She has made his life a living hell. Previously raving about him what a great father he is... Poor guy how can he live like this, nonstop stress, watching everything he says, does whether she will twist it and use against him... Awful.

Angie should also get tested

Angelina had a history of Heroine use when she was married to Billy Bob! She clearly has a martyr complex & a false sense of superiority!

Her behaviour over the last week has been strange and very bizarre.

She completely humiliated him. Hope he comes out on top when this is all over.

I am wondering if Jolie is surprised the majority are on team Pitt?

I don't buy one bit her accusations. Jolie likes to cut people out of her life when she is done with them. Ask her father. It is not going to work here. I hope Brad fights for and gets equal physical custody of his kids.

Oh Angie...WHAT have you done? Brad was a keeper, and one of the good guys. You've robbed six children of a father I'm sure they adore; which teenage boy doesn't have the occasional spat with the authority figure? You think after all this, you can come here and enter the House of Lords? Seriously? You need dignity to do that, and you have not displayed much, since the news of the divorce emerged. Heartbroken for all those poor children!

Have you seen the crud in the House of Lords? There's not one dignified one in there" bunch of scroungíng chancers

I feel for Brad, he's the only one who didn't see this years ago. Did the crazy lady take a urine test?

Well done Brad. Take the high road and do not lower yourself to her standards.

a man she has 6 kids with.  Great role model Angelina. Way to keep shit civil for your kids.

"smear campaign" A technique learned at the U N, Angie ???

Really sad AJ; if u have gone this low! Great example for your children!

they are wasting their time as most of this world adores brad  INCLUDING HIS CHILDREN !!!

Nowhereyou, the fact he isn't saying anything is points IN his favor, not against him. All he has said is he wants what's best for them. She's keeping them away from him, never good in a divorce, especially there's been nothing even remotely hinted at about this before. No rushes to the doc, no doc to their home - and you know that would have been reported breathlessly. As for the urine test, booze leaves your system rather quickly. Weed stays around three weeks. She's accused him of all his weed smoking, a test will prove or disprove it. Team Pitt all the way. I like her first husband, I've almost forgiven Billy Bob for the blood vials, but I have always felt sorry for Brad.

For me the saddest part is the children and how isolated she keeps them. They are missing out on all the good things abd social aspects of school, friends their own age and learning to cope in the real world. Not a big thing but what about Prom, homecoming, the excitement of graduation? Even the wealthiest of young people can and do enjoy these things.

Angelina is a witch......keep fighting for your children Brad !

angelina's older creepy brother should also get a drug test and mental assessment test.

Angelina has went crazy. The woman is a self centered, controlling, bitter, jealous person and always will be. She's also a man eater. She's trying to ruin him, smh. Seems like she wants to be able to make all the decisions and he can't have no say.

A woman scorned... It just sounds suspicious to me that this came out in the midst of her filing for a divorce. A divorce because he supposedly cheated on her. She's out to ruin him in my opinion.

Maybe she should too. Without advanced warning to clean her system. I think Angie is probably a good person but from her past to now their are obvious control issues with her. Id be drinking too if my wife kept taking my kids into war zones, I couldn't really stop her and were fighting over that and other things as serious wile being stressed out with work and the world. I think Brad will be given joint custody here for sure. He is the only person being forthcoming and civil here. Wont even say a negative word toward her despite some obvious issues on her part too.

 Now she wants to show the world that he's a bad daddy?an abuser?and that's just because she filed for divorce?? I'm not a fan of Brad, nor of Angelina, but i think she should have stayed classy to the end

 I feel bad for him... she is dragging him through the mud to get custody of the children...I wish she would have handled this with more grace and tact..

Why would she want jewellery he bought? She doesn't want him and he's the real jewel.

Brad gave them to her so I guess she has a right to keep them. But!!!! Why would she want to.

Well she needs her jewellery to look nice at the refugee camps she visits. They're brighten up her Mother Theresa outfits.

Angelina Jolie should go sit in a corner. What a total control freak. Real life Olivia pope won't get a thing on Brad.

Brad does not have any kind of track record of abusing anyone. I think that when the public saw that the first time he has ever faced that kind of accusation was right after Jolie filed for divorce hurt Jolie's image. The public has seen her be unkind towards her father and now it looks like she is playing dirty with her husband. She should have hired Olivia Pope earlier.

she is such a hypocrite., cray cray..

she is a hypocrite who lacks integrity

ain't nobody saving her image. She fucked that up a LOOOOOOONG time ago lol

 It's ridiculous what a man has to go through to keep a relationship with his kids... The minute you enter a woman they wanna own you and everything around you... smh

I for one hopes that the family counseling allows her to see that her approach to parenting isn't all that healthy. Kids need structure and discipline. Hope they work it out for the kids sake, they deserve two parents.

I think if he has to do drug testing then she needs to have psych evaluations periodically for her craziness

She should be drug tested. And investigated for incest. I mean, how do you explain that??

I hope the judge turn the tables on her permanently, give the kids to Brad and give her visitation rights and see how she likes it.

The damage is already done. She should have hired the PR person before she made her wild accusations against Brad and filed the divorce papers.

Exactly...a good PR professional would have told her to keep quiet.

We all knew they were lying through their teeth 2. No 'Crisis Manager' is going to be able to make Angelina look 'good' now.

Of course she needs a crisis manager after all the dramas she's created this last week. Silly woman, thought she could control the media and public opinion with the 'leaked' stories to the media, trying to discredit Brad Pitt. The public can see those stories for what they are, Jolie trying to reinvent herself as an Audrey Hepburn/Mother Teresa/Princess Diana type persona that will never wash with the general populace. Give him shared custody of the kids and do the right thing by the children.

Yes, she's a mental mess so of course she needs a crisis manager and she's the only one cr@pping all over the place, there's nothing from team Brad about her. Angie you're smelling badly.

She's biting the hand that feeds.



“The Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’”

One of Aesop's fables. A young shepherd would trick his fellow villagers by shouting for help, pretending that wolves were attacking his sheep. Several times the villagers rushed to his aid, only to find the shepherd laughing at them. One day, some wolves actually came. The shepherd cried for help, but the villagers, who had grown tired of his pranks, ignored him, and the wolves devoured his sheep.

Note : To “cry wolf” means to issue a false alarm.

Angelina Jolie’s Carefully Orchestrated Image

By BROOKS BARNESNOV. 20, 2008

LOS ANGELES — When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt negotiated with People and other celebrity magazines this summer for photos of their newborn twins and an interview, the stars were seeking more than the estimated $14 million they received from the deal. They also wanted a hefty slice of journalistic input — a promise that the winning magazine’s coverage would be positive, not merely in that instance but into the future.

According to the deal offered by Ms. Jolie, the winning magazine was obliged to offer coverage that would not reflect negatively on her or her family, according to two people with knowledge of the bidding who were granted anonymity because the talks were confidential. The deal also asked for an “editorial plan” providing a road map of the layout, these people say.

The winner was People. The resulting package in its Aug. 18 issue — the magazine’s best-selling in seven years — was a publicity coup for Ms. Jolie, the Oscar winner and former Hollywood eccentric who wore a necklace ornamented with dried blood and talked about her fondness for knives before transforming herself into a philanthropist, United Nations good-will ambassador and devoted mother of six.

In the People interview, there were questions about her and Mr. Pitt’s charity work and no use of the word “Brangelina,” the tabloid amalgamation of their names, which irks the couple.

Through a spokeswoman, People magazine, which is owned by Time Inc., released a statement denying that any conditions were placed on coverage. “These claims are categorically false,” the statement said. “Like any news organization, People does purchase photos, but the magazine does not determine editorial content based on the demands of outside parties.”

While all celebrities seek to manipulate their public images to one degree or another, Ms. Jolie accomplishes it with a determination, a self-reliance and a degree of success that is particularly notable. The actress does not employ a publicist or an agent. The keys to her public image belong to her alone, although she does rely on her longtime manager, Geyer Kosinski, as a conduit.

Jennifer Lopez, who sold pictures of her twins to People for an estimated $6 million in February, has a team of eight to help her navigate such situations. Ms. Jolie, 33, has her cellphone, a lawyer and Mr. Kosinski (and, of course, the counsel of her partner, Mr. Pitt). Getty Images handled the photography and some negotiations.

“She’s scary smart,” said Bonnie Fuller, the former editor of Us Weekly and Star magazines. “But smart only takes you so far. She also has an amazing knack, perhaps more than any other star, for knowing how to shape a public image.”

Ms. Jolie did not respond to interview requests and neither did Mr. Kosinski. Her lawyer, Robert Offer, declined to comment. But through interviews with nearly two dozen people who have worked directly with her over the years, a picture emerges of how she skillfully works the press.

Ms. Jolie expertly walks a line between known entity and complete mystery, cultivates relationships with friendly reporters and even sets up her own photo shoots for the paparazzi.

Most skillfully, she dictates terms to celebrity magazines involving their coverage of her and her family, editors say, creating an awkward situation for publications that try to abide by strict journalistic standards.

Ms. Jolie showed her skill at handling the news media in other negotiations. People magazine bid successfully for photos and an exclusive interview after she gave birth to her first child in 2006. Those pictures sold for an estimated $4.1 million, a sum that she and Mr. Pitt said they donated to charity.

In a separate 2006 negotiation with People, Ms. Jolie invited magazine editors — through her philanthropic adviser, Trevor Neilson — to bid on exclusive photos of her and her adopted Cambodian son, Maddox. But she made coverage of her charity work part of the deal.

“While Angelina and Brad understand the interest in their family, they also expect that the publications who purchase these photos will use them in a way that also draws attention to the needs of the Cambodian people,” Mr. Neilson wrote in a December 2006 memo to editors.

He went on to promise that Ms. Jolie would provide “exclusive quotes” to the publication that purchased the photos. “Publications are invited to comment on their editorial plans when submitting their bids,” Mr. Neilson wrote.

Time Inc. won the photos, paying an estimated $750,000. In the Jan. 8 issue of People came an article headlined “Angelina Jolie: Mission to Cambodia.” As in other instances, the company paid the money to the photography company, Getty Images, which took its fee and split the rest in payments to companies operated on behalf of Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt. Those companies in turn funneled the money to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Mr. Neilson, the president of the Global Philanthropy Group and a former executive at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said, “She is used to sell magazines and newspapers, so part of why we wrote that memo is that we wanted to use the interest in her personal life to influence people to pay attention to important issues. If Angie can use the interest and redirect it, she wants to do that.”

The persona that Ms. Jolie projects on screen tends to be intimidating and physical. She is not the girl next door. She won a supporting actress Oscar in 2000 for “Girl, Interrupted,” in which she played a mental patient.

But more recently, she has emphasized her philanthropic work, and her growing family. Ms. Jolie, with Mr. Pitt, now has a clan of six. There are three adopted children — Maddox, Pax and Zahara — and three biological children: Shiloh and the twins, Knox and Vivienne.

But she cut a very different, wilder figure in Hollywood during her marriage to the actor Billy Bob Thornton. After their divorce in 2003, Us magazine asked Ms. Jolie if she would agree to an interview and be photographed. According to two people involved, she declined — but then offered the magazine another photo opportunity. Ms. Jolie informed it what time and place she would be publicly playing with Maddox, essentially creating a paparazzi shot.

The resulting photo, the origin of which was not made public to Us readers, presented Ms. Jolie in a new light — a young mother unsuccessfully trying to have a private moment with her son.

Shifting the focus is one of Ms. Jolie’s best maneuvers, magazine editors and publicity executives say. When she became romantically involved with Mr. Pitt, for instance, she faced a public relations crisis — being portrayed in the tabloid press as a predator who stole Mr. Pitt from his wife, Jennifer Aniston.

This time, it was Ms. Jolie’s charity work that helped turn the story. Long interested in international humanitarian work, Ms. Jolie appeared in Pakistan, where she visited camps housing Afghan refugees, and even met with President Pervez Musharraf. Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt made a subsequent trip to Kashmir to bring attention to earthquake victims.

“Presto, they come out looking like serious people who have transformed a silly press obsession into a sincere attempt to help the needy,” said Michael Levine, a celebrity publicist and author.

That is cynical nonsense, counters Mr. Neilson.

“People don’t realize the complexity of what Angie is doing,” he said. “A lot of her charity work is done quietly and not in front of the media.”

According to federal filings, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, the entity through which Mr. Neilson says the couple distributes photo money, has given grants of about $2 million since its creation in 2006. Mr. Neilson said that filings run more than a year behind and that the foundation has additional commitments of about $5.6 million that that are being paid as the organizations receiving the funds structure their programs.

Among the grants are $2 million for an AIDS clinic in Ethiopia and $2.6 million to Make It Right, an organization devoted to rebuilding New Orleans, Mr. Neilson said. Smaller grants include $500,000 to groups focused on helping Iraqi schoolchildren.

The New York Times recently ran a feature article about Ms. Jolie; there were no restrictions on access.

Ms. Jolie’s attempts to lasso the media have occasionally backfired. In 2006, when she sought the privacy of Namibia to give birth to Shiloh, the government refused to grant visas to journalists unless they had written permission from the couple. Magazines complained harshly.

More recently, she insisted that journalists at the premiere of “A Mighty Heart,” a movie about the murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, sign an agreement limiting their questions and the use of her answers. In part, the document stated: “The interview may only be used to promote the picture. In no event may interviewer or media outlet be entitled to run all or any portion of the interview in connection with any other story.”

And, “the interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning or derogatory to Ms. Jolie.”

Ms. Jolie blamed an overzealous lawyer for the demand at the time, saying he was “trying to protect me.”


Still, such blunders are rare, and Ms. Jolie’s Q score, a measurement of a star’s likability, has continued to increase. Around the time she won her Oscar, 13 percent of people surveyed viewed her positively, according to Marketing Evaluations Inc. The average rating for female stars is 18 percent.

Today, about 24 percent of respondents view Ms. Jolie positively.
(well not anymore after September 19,2016)
(she abused her carefully orchestrated image "strategy" nothing lasts forever.)

Brad Pitt’s Ex-Girlfriend Blasts Child Abuse Reports — He’s A ‘Very Calm & Gentle Guy’

Tue, September 27, 2016 9:52pm EDT by Beth Shilliday

Brad Pitt’s got so many pals in his corner to defend his character, including a former girlfriend! She’s rushing to profess what a kind and gentle soul he is in the wake of shocking child abuse allegations against the actor. Keep reading for what she had to say!

“Brad isn’t an aggressive man. Not at all,” Elizabeth Daily, 55, tells the Daily Mail. “I haven’t been hanging out with him, and I don’t know the circumstances, but I know Brad doesn’t behave in that kind of manner.” Elizabeth and Brad met in 1989 and dated for some time before his career took off. They remained good friends for years that followed.

She described him as, “Very laid back, very earthy. He’s the kind of guy that would pick up and leave and drive his car just to get out of the city. He was never someone who was super Hollywood, he was a very calm and gentle guy.” Elizabeth goes on to add,
“Brad and I were close friends for a long time, before he dated Juliette (Lewis). He was my friend, he was always sweet and was a very generous doll.”


Elizabeth went on to become a successful voice over actor, voicing “Tommy Pickles” in the classic cartoon Rugrats. And while she acknowledges that his fame is now out of the stratosphere, he’s still very grounded. “He’s in a whole other realm. Brad does a lot of Hollywood stuff, but he’s not a Hollywood guy. From my experience with him, he was a very down to earth man.”

She’s just the latest person to back up Brad’s character in the face of child abuse allegations involving his 15-year-old son Maddox. Elizabeth says she never saw any sign of the temper that caused Angelina Jolie‘s camp to claim he needs anger management because he is allegedly a danger to their six kids. “I never experienced any sign of temper when I knew him. That’s the sad thing. I’m sure more clarity will come out and I’m sure some of it well get sorted out.” We hope so too!

Father tells of Jolie's 'mental problems'

By Oliver Poole in Los Angeles12:01AM BST 03 Aug 2002

Angelina Jolie, the actress who last month filed for divorce from Billy Bob Thornton, is suffering from serious mental problems and needs medical treatment, her father said yesterday.
Jon Voight, the 63-year-old actor, said his daughter had a long-term mental illness which had worsened since the break-up of her marriage.
He told an American television programme that his daughter's illness could be traced back to her childhood.
"There was an incident years ago when the children were babies," he said. "I was having difficulties in my marriage and I had an affair. There was a lot of hurt and anger."
The actor, who divorced Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, when his daughter was still an infant, said he noticed the change in his child when she accompanied him on a trip to Japan soon after he and his wife had separated. "She was almost like a ghost," he said. "She wasn't there any more. She wasn't that energised person. And then I found out later many things, about the cutting, the self-mutilation."
Jolie, 27, who won an Oscar for her performance as an institutionalised sociopath in Girl, Interrupted, appeared with her father in the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which he said had temporarily brought them closer together after years of estrangement.
However, since then the relationship has again deteriorated. Voight said that when he last saw her at a Hollywood party, "I ran to give her a hug, and one of her representatives stepped in my way and said 'get back'."
He tearfully begged her fans to urge her to seek medical help.
Jolie has admitted in the past to self-mutilation and nearly having a breakdown on the eve of her wedding two years ago. The marriage is understood to have ended because Thornton, 46, another actor, became jealous of the amount of time his wife was spending with a Cambodian baby, Maddox, they adopted earlier this year.
In a statement released after her father's interview, Jolie said: "Like every child, Jamie [her brother] and I would have loved to have had a warm and loving relationship with our dad. After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child."

Jon Voight says Angelina needs to get help

Jon Voight says Angelina needs to get help. The actor says his daughter has ''mental problems,'' that he knew her marriage to Billy Bob Thornton was doomed, and that he hasn't seen his grandson

BY GARY SUSMAN


Posted August 2 2002 — 12:00 AM EDT

In an emotional interview on Thursday’s ”Access Hollywood,” Jon Voight went public about his estrangement from daughter Angelina Jolie, pleading with her fans and handlers to see that she gets help for unspecified ”mental problems” now that she’s split with husband Billy Bob Thornton. He blamed himself for failure to act on her behalf, and he also begged his daughter to let him see his grandchild, the baby she and Thornton adopted just months before she filed for divorce last month.

Voight says his daughter, who won an Oscar for playing a mental patient in ”Girl, Interrupted,” began showing signs of mental illness as an infant. (He divorced Jolie’s mother before their daughter was a year old but says he remained a presence in her life.) He said he was ”brokenhearted…because I’ve been trying to reach my daughter and get her help, and I have failed and I’m sorry. Really I haven’t come forward and addressed the serious mental problems she has spoken about so candidly to the press over the years, but I’ve tried behind the scenes in every way.”

He said he had confronted his daughter a number of times. During the making of ”Girl,” he said she told him, ”You can’t help me! You can’t help my pain!” They had a brief reconciliation when they worked together on ”Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” but it didn’t last. He said he tried to greet her recently at a Hollywood party, but her manager blocked him and said, ”She doesn’t want to see you.” (The manager tells the story differently, telling ”Access Hollywood” that he interceded because Voight ”aggressively, physically grabbed her against her will.”)

Because of his estrangement from his daughter, Voight said he hadn’t yet seen his grandson, Maddox, the year-old Cambodian boy Jolie and Thornton brought back to the U.S. in May. ”That is the greatest pain,” he said. ”I’d love to help out with the baby.”

Billy Bob Thornton, Voight’s son-in-law of two years, has problems too, Voight said. ”I never had the feeling that they were going to make it because of both of their serious problems, and they’ve both been very public about them, so I never really held out any hope.”

Jolie responded to Voight’s comments in a statement, saying ”I don’t want to make public the reasons for my bad relationship with my father. I will only say that, like every child, [brother] Jamie and I would have loved to have had a warm and loving relationship with our dad. After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child.”

Jolie is currently preparing to shoot the ”Tomb Raider” sequel, and producer Lawrence Gordon told ”Access Hollywood” that he was unaware of any problems she had that would jeopardize the big-budget franchise. ”I have an excellent team around her,” Gordon said. ”If there was a problem, I would know it.”

COMMENTS

 UN get a new embassador! Angelina can not heal world pain. She has no empathy. She is heartless. Those sad faces she shows for the UN duties are all fake. Angelina is delusional. There should be a petition to drop her as UN representative.

I feel so bad for Brad. A good father should be crying for the loss of his children. All he’s ever wanted was a family and she has ruined that for him. I don’t think being strict makes him a bad father, but one who cares enough to keep his children in line and teach them manners and respect. Leniency only shows them what they can get away with.

Angie had to have plan this for awhile it just happen to fast .. she has been talking to an attorney who found her the house so quickly and started a fight in the airplane which was a dangerous thing to do. Now she wants complete control of the children so she can move from the United States. Brad will never let her move with the children and Angie knows that. This is my opinion only but she has been planing this for a long while. We can now call her tricky Angie……..

It is heartbreaking to see Brad so destroyed by the divorce from Angelina.I have always thought she demeaned his self-worth as his deterorating appearance indicated.Brad is. Decent man whose family means everything to him.Perhaps,now,he can get back into living his true life.Angelina was never good enough for him.She’s evil.I am sure he’s devastated by the abuse accusations.Team Brad all the way.

So hey Angelina! Removing the kids father from their lives is not being a good parent. It’s selfish. Respect that your man has his right to parent as he sees fit as well. You don’t have the right to deny him that.
Compromise or BOTH of you get counseling on parenting. It’s called compromise. Never a good idea to allow the kids to play one parent against the other and all kids do. Parents need to put up a United front for their kids.
Maybe in denying Brad structure, you may be the cause of what is going down. It’s arrogant to think only you know what is the right way to parent.

She is a nut and always has been. Brad is a good man and a wonderful father. Hope everything works out for you Brad and your family. Karma will catch up to Angie someday and she will look back and realize what she lost!!

After the interviews on how he was a great guy, great love, good father, etc., NOW he’s a horrible abuser? I don’t believe it! After years of no structure in their relationship and those kids lives, travelling from place to place and no privacy, of course he must have snapped and lost his temper! It looks like Angie is just finished with him now and wants those kids to herself! I feel bad for him now.

She's no "Mother Theresa" or "Mandela ".......She's a rich actress with narcissistic and megalomaniac tendencies

She's an unfit mother.

This woman is just nuts - the more I read about here, the more I have really wonder about her mental stability.

How about she go to university, take an actual job with the UN (not a celeb photo op job) and climb the ranks to build experience. She is beyond deluded if she thinks she has the expertise to manage such a massive organization.

Ms Jolie needs to be told about diplomacy; something vital when dealing with world issues and a concept she has failed to grasp in her personal life. I don't think someone who has described heroin as her favourite drug should be allowed to work for the UN.

Hey Angie, start to bring some peace with the father of your kids before wanting to lead the UN or hoping becoming the new Lady Diana ..Your children are already traumatized because of you

She is totally self deluded

She is too used to getting her own way.

Angelina reminds of a Siamese cat. Beautiful to look at but l can imagine highly strung and very difficult to live with and be around. To be admired from afar only. Brad is better off out.

Good god the woman is actually crazy!!! Maybe it's Brad Pitt who should get full custody....

Angelina had been a very unstable woman before she married Brad Pitt. I get the feeling that he managed to provide some stability for her that might not be there after the breakup. I have no doubt that this woman will become unhinged and it will not be pretty with all of those trophy children to take care of. My prayers go to the children.

Look at her swanning about. She wants to be a guru. She wants to enthrall everyone with her presence. She's just an narcissist.

She will never be Princess Diana or ever like her. Princess Diana's charity work came from the heart. Angelina's comes from a need to be noticed and praised. #teamBrad

Well she has severely tarnished her brand now.

I agree wholeheartedly. This woman is vile, and is capable of anything to get her way. I truly hope he fights her. If he has to get as dirty as her to win, so be it. They are his children he's fighting for. Here's hoping he doesn't have to, but can't see that happening.

Any woman who stops children seeing their dad out of spite is wicked. It's damaging and cruel.

The poor children will be hurt the most. I don't understand how she can not see that she is putting her own ambition before their emotional needs and the destructive way she split will leave scarring on these poor kids.

she will never be diana and we don't want her!

Angelina is one crazy, mean, and vindictive person masquerading as a concerned mother and worldwide peace envoy...her behavior with respect to hiding and alienating their children from their father is a keyhole into her mindset and it is disturbing. I highly doubt that Jon Voight will get involved. Sometimes alienating and ghosting another parent is so hateful and unforgivable that the non-custodial parent simply gives up and walks away. Guess who suffers? The innocent children who are terribly and irreparably hurt. Somehow I think Angelina would love to have Brad give up...no matter the cost to their children. I'm beginning to believe she schemed and plotted this entire ruse just so she would have an excuse to become a single mother so she can do as she pleases with respect to their children. I feel sorry for Brad.

I wonder if poor Maddox is now wondering if its all his fault they've moved to Malibu and his parents are divorcing. She has USED him to undercut her husband and I know from my own mother's hatred of my father that it can take decades for kids to unravel the truth and end up seeing Mum as the bully when she had been painting Dad as the bully.

Completely agree with Rachel Johnson. The way Jolie has handled this split is narcissistic in the extreme. I was indifferent to her before, but now I actively dislike her. My guess is she doesn't have close friends, just these Hague-created sycophants. I feel sorry for her children.

"I have never heard my father say one unkind word about my mother." You are absolutely correct. My mother would never speak ill of our father after their divorce, stating that "He is still your father even though we had our differences." I have always respected her for that.

She has lost all credibility. Her plan to smear Pitt will backfire spectacularly.

Agree with this. Jolie spent years telling the public what a wonderful partner and father Pitt was, not to mention her devoted tattoos. Suddenly, she is dragging him through the mud. She doesn't take the children to the only home base they have known, instead, she rents a property elsewhere. What about the familiarity of the things they know while they go through such a tumultuous time with their parents? Hideous behaviour on the part of Jolie, if she cared at all about her children she would not be behaving in this way. Not to mention, the dragging them around the world part where they are unable to have friends or any stability, sad all around because I'm willing to bet their dad was the only good stable thing in their lives.

When you have kids together, you need to be much more aware of the effect you might be having on them. Slating Brad publicly is unacceptable. She should come out and publicly tell people that he is not abusive. It's a bloody disgrace!

My sentiments, exactly, about Angelina Jolie. I believe she is no longer fit for the role of an ambassador for the United Nations.

sounds like borderline personality.

I am more concerned for her children than anything else. The woman has mental health issues not to mention the fact that she's delusional. The Brits do not need another Diana, we had the real thing and Angelina could never walk in her shoes. So dream on.......... Good luck to Brad, and I hope Angelina's strange stories do not stop him from being with his children.

Hell, I guess I should be in jail. My son is successful because of rules. Timeout does not work for some children.

Great parenting skills on her part , teaching her kids if you want something so bad and can't see the other persons reasoning just do it and hurt the one you love .

 I couldn't imagine taking my kids to a country that's suffering. I could see when they are older and can make some decisions. She's bat shit crazy and I have a feeling he had more common sense then she did.

Does anyone notice the smear campaign being laid on Pitt? It started 20 minutes after Jolie announced their split.

She's a whacko. Remember she did this to almost everyone she's had in her life. If every time a parent yelled at a teenager resulted in a divorce then we would have no marriages. Do parents lose it with kids? Sure but I think her past explains her reaction.

She is in agony? She chose to make this public! What BS! She is a nasty woman who finally got her karma.

So the smearing of Pitt and releasing statements calling him a bad father are necessary? Sorry, but Angelina is a grade A fame whore. She is choosing to make this public. What's even worse is she is dragging her kids into the mess.

She is a psycho...plain and simple. It didn't surprise me to hear that she has a volatile temper. She's in agony? bullshit

Don't really get this Brad Pitt 'child abuse' situation. Didn't realise celebrity kids weren't allowed to have discipline

Brad Pitt is of course the victim of a false accusation.

i hope they get married and let johnny depp experience hell again after his nasty divorce with amber heard. he's gonna be Colin Farrell of 2016.
she is a more dangerous type of amber heard.
He can hump her all he wants b'coz she will never get pregnant anyway he will not have to worry on putting on condoms. This is unleashing hell this is what she wants so lets. Sex for her is nothing if she wants you and you wants she can give that to you. and maybe after a few months of humping depp will realize the situations he's gotten into and will leave her.
just an advice for him do not let your guard down for a minute or she will destroy once she's done with you. be prepared plan ahead of time.

her "TEAM" started this very agressive nasty move against brad. now that people are seeing the truth and saving brad suddenly we are bad one's for standing up for what's right. you do not need to be a genius to know which one is lying it's so obvious. #teambrad...

When someone accuses another of a serious crime, and those claims turn out to be highly exaggerated, unfounded, or an outright lie, the accuser should be sentenced to whatever the accused would have faced.

Every time I see a picture of Angelina Jolie, I want to vomit. A walking skeleton, she's so odd to me. Always with her humanitarian image, yet she's being so shady and sneaky here. She really threw him under the bus.

Angelina Jolie needs to read the story about the boy who cried wolf. ^_^ She is a liar and using her children as leverage. She should be ashamed, refused custody of her children and even refused entry into the UK for her bad character

 Pathetic.....he was a good dad a month ago.....pisses me off how this happens again and again..... dads should have the same rights as mums.....and yes im a single mum with a dad in my child's life. Too many victims out there. Pull your head in and put your kids first

I had so much respect for her until last week ... stopping any child from seeing their father is never right ... all respect is gone in one move .. thought she was better than that

 She is a wicked woman, not a good mom nor was she a good wife.. She is so into self.

She rented a house a week before saying he was abusing the kids ? My kids were abused for real wish she didn't use this as an excuse to gain custody I think less of her now I hope he gets to get this over with quickly for his kids sake I bet they miss him. She needs to learn what real abuse is because my kids were adopted as well and more then abused by their dad I was granted a PFA right away where's hers ?

Humanitarian my a$s!!!!

Sounds like she'll do and say anything to get her way. Run, Brad, RUN!

I'd rather climb mountains to reach out to people of charity than to rise above the corporate ladder.

i'd rather have a partner or any person in general who loves drinking but honest with me, disciplines me, corrects me, talks to me when there is a problem or any misunderstanding than a partner who may or may not  backstab and plan something behind my back. #teambrad

Does this poisonous snake realise that her estranged husband is the children's father and her attitudes are very damaging to them? You shouldn't let your feelings for your ex-partner interfere with your role as a parent, but I doubt she even knows what a parent is. The woman is obviously mentally unstable and those kids need some form of stability and good parenting.

If this is true, she is a very spiteful, and not too stable person. Maybe the children should be taken from her. It's sad for the kids however you look at it.

She's very childish and vindictive. Just look at the way she treats her father, using his grandchildren as pawns against him whenever she gets into her moods. Her children will come to hate her once they're older and realize that she kept people who loved them away from them. I know. I grew up in a similar family situation.

she is a viper. he should have seen it coming. she is off on a new agenda and in her wake leaves the smear campaign against brad. the one thing she didnt think through is the children, they are not "hers" and they have bonded to brad as a father. if you are lucky enough to have a mother and father who both love you, you should be lucky enough to see them. she will have to kidnap the children to keep them from brad. thats the part she just doesnt get, they are not her possessions... they are human beings. she is a viper and if she tries to keep the children from brad she is a horrible mother.

Angelina's lying her kids are out of control! Brad tries to discipline them & she's not having it! She believes her kids should be free & let them do whatever they want eventually they'll figure it out! She sits in her private jet & watches them behave terribly! Brads being painted a bad guy

I think Angelina thought all her charity work and adopting many kids her mastectomy would cloud people judgement of what she's doing now!

She wants control that's why she didn't do this quietly. she could of done this a different way for the children's sake but chose not too. She doesn't want anyone else to have the children just her that's why she is trashing Brad's reputation and she knew what she was gonna do months ago. The ones I feel sorry for are the children. One minute dad is around and the next he isn't. She needs to be civilised about this and not treat the children as her property which it seems to me as she is.

Agree. But she thinks she is more important than Brad but that was never the case. Brad was always the bigger star. She will soon realise it when she contacts Europes premiers, it was about Brangelina never Angelina.

This is mean, she has no right to deny access to his kids

She brings three kids over from other continents, creates three with Brad - talks endlessly about giving them a secure childhood, marries Brad (apparently because the children would feel more secure) - then turns round after 2 years, trashes him and destroys the family and their security. Whatever may have happened on the plane, it did not provoke the split. She had already hired a place, planning to take his kids away from him. It's despicable. Despicable towards the children too - separating them from their dad. He has always seemed to be a great father, She has always said he's a great father. If she can't make a relationship work with a kind, rich, talented, attractive man who went along with everything she wanted and supported her through mastectomy and early menopause - she probably can't make it work with any man. My guess is she has a whole new life planned and she's just steamrollering over Brad to get to it.

She is a very domineering person and must be h e l l to live with.

She is behaving in a very selfish, cold, ruthless and calculating manner.

Crazy, unstable, unfit, mother.

Sounds like she's making up a whole lot of bad press for him in the hope that something will stick. For all we know none of it is true.

Unless he tried to throttle one of the kids, she has no excuse for destroying this family or claiming sole custody. She'll cause the children immense pain that will ruin their childhood & very possible have bad consequences in the future. And she has no excuse for trying to destroy Brad Pitt - who has willingly gone along with every single she asked of him - up to and including six kids, and supporting her through double mastectomy and early menopause. He's no deadbeat father - she knows very well that denying him access to his kids will destroy him. I really liked her - she's now behaving like an absolute b1 tch.

Calls herself a humanitarian, she's heartless! She won't even let him see the kids. Whatever he did can't be that bad that she had to play this all out so cruelly....

I had a lot of respect for her, they seemed relatively normal decent parents but she honestly sounds like she's lost the plot. She sounds like she's more concerned with saving everyone else than properly parenting her own kids.

Never heard of her.

Nothing like a shameless move to attach yourself to a story that has nothing to do with you. Your 1 minute of fame is over, Has-Been. No one cares

"April has told The Mirror that she wants to speak out to make clear she has had no part in Brad's latest split" hahaha... what??? Has her name even come up??? Should I also go to the papers and let them know that I too was not responsible for his split?

I just want to let all of y'all know that I, too, had absolutely nothing to do with the dissolution of Angelina and Brad's marriage. I just want the cleared up, you know, in case...

Money grubber, go crawl back under your rock.

Ms Irrelevant makes a non-point on the event she has no connection to. How interesting.

Tomorrow's news "Brad's 2nd grade crush tells all in explosive interview!"

Another attention seeker. Pathetic. Tacky.

Having done the same to my ex, it's the biggest regret in my life. It took me months to start becoming rational, unselfish and putting the kids first. The anger overpowered me and I used my kids to hurt my ex. I do feel so ashamed, luckily I have been forgiven and we have worked things out resulting in a healthy relationship and happy children. Don't do it Angelina, it's so wrong!

Of course Angelina had the beach house planned...this whole thing was planned! Angelina just needed an excuse to file...what more than a long haul flight with 6 screaming kids, plus a screaming & scheming harpy, to incite Brad or anyone else to have a drink or 2, as well as to self-medicate to calm their nerves...My heart goes out to Brad Pitt #TeamPitt...I certainly hope Brad Pitt will prevail! and Not lose custody of his children!!

 demonstrates again that she uses others to further her agenda

She has an agenda all is not what you see don't be so fooled

no matter how much you hide your true colors it will always come out b'coz that's really who you are

What a bitch. She is nasty. Keeping him away from the kids. Instead of traveling all over the world she should stay in one place. Kids need stability. .rules and most of all friends. They would be better off with Brad.

 I know Brad did not want anyone to bad mouth Angie .. but she is having a great time bad mouthing him .. I think that she was brain washed by these ladies that she has been seen with and they also were on the private airplane with Brad, Angie and the 6 children ..

It's all a smear campaign against Brad in my opinion. Jolie hasn't once come forward to say anything in his defense whatsoever. Brad was the one who said that he didn't want anybody talking bad or publicly bashing his wife regardless of what they're going through. #teambrad

She's always had a screw loose. After chopping up her body as a precaution, so she says, is the same as self harming to cover her mental state, attention is not to protect children it's about herself. Nutty.

 Sorry for the children always but he is acting like a father-her not so much-look at their upbringing-he came from great parents-her not so much once again.








Jolie exposes her ‘rebel-turned-saint’ myth by trashing Pitt

By Maureen Callahan September 25, 2016 | 6:47 am


Possibly the only thing more surprising than the news that Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt was the unceasing, unremitting details.

As a brand, Brangelina spent more than a decade on lockdown: Their camp had no leaks. Tabloids knew nothing the couple didn’t want known. Their image as the chic-est, jet-setting-est, most racially harmonious family on Earth was impenetrable.

Until Tuesday, when Jolie’s filing demanding sole physical custody sent the media into overdrive: What had Pitt, heretofore known as a devoted father, possibly done?

Incredibly, almost on the hour, the story kept advancing: TMZ reported that Jolie had concerns “with the way Brad was parenting” and that she was “fed up” with his heavy use of weed and alcohol. He had an “anger problem.”

Next came accusations of Pitt cheating — with a co-star and with Russian hookers, their nationality an odd detail — of using hard drugs, and of verbally and physically attacking one of their children on a private plane.

Within 72 hours, the world knew more about Brangelina than in the 12 years they had been together. It was sordid and dirty, the photo negative of the perfect ­image they had so smugly, aggressively promoted.

The likeliest source of that narrative flip? Angelina Jolie, who at 41 has masterfully manipulated the media for over two decades.

Strategically, Jolie seems miles ahead of Pitt, but she may lose the long game. Video reportedly exists of the plane incident, and no physical altercation is said to have occurred. People have come to ­admire her, but they love him.

“The whole thing seems very impetuous,” says Jolie’s biographer, Andrew Morton. “Her mother would freeze out people for whatever reason, and now Angie has frozen out Brad — who was far more dignified and just issued a quiet statement.”

By so publicly disparaging the father of her children — some old enough to read what’s being said online — Jolie is endangering her own self-created myth, that of ­depraved Hollywood hellion-turned-St. Angelina, humanitarian nonpareil.

“It’s Bad Dad vs. St. Ange,” Morton says. “The ultimate losers are the children.”

And Jolie’s halo, which may be revoked.

It’s easy to forget how deeply weird Angelina Jolie was when she came on the scene in the mid-’90s. There’s an entire generation that knows her as an actress, yes, but more so as the selfless philanthropist, the devoted mother of six, one-half of the most glamorous couple in Hollywood.

Jolie has never used a publicist, and this has only added to the sense — true or not — that she’s authentic. But she is, at heart, an actress. Jolie and her estranged father, actor Jon Voight, share one key trait: Both, she’s said, are “drama queens.”

As a pre-millennial starlet, Jolie was unlike any of her peers. She was in stark opposition to the arch, cosmopolitan WASP-iness of Gwyneth Paltrow, who was then engaged to Pitt. She made Winona Ryder’s eccentric darkness seem purely adolescent. Drew Barrymore, with her trauma, her drug use and mid-20s marriage spree, could not compare.

Jolie carved her own niche, controlled her own narrative, and it was impossible to look away. She was the wildest of the wild. She divulged thoughts and experiences so outlandish, you had to wonder how much was true.

She spoke of self-harm, rampant drug use — heroin, she said, her favorite — her bisexuality, how much she loved knife-play and S&M, her history of insomnia and eating disorders, of committing herself to the psych ward at UCLA for 72 hours, of suicidal ideations and of once hiring a hit man to kill her before changing her mind. All this by age 22.

In 1996, she married British actor Jonny Lee Miller. She said she wed in a white shirt with Miller’s name scrawled in blood on the back.

They divorced in 2000, the same year Jolie began cavorting with her brother, James Haven, on red carpets, making out in front of photographers. When she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar that year for “Girl, Interrupted,” she gushed over him in her acceptance speech.

“I’m so in love with my brother right now,” she said.

It was too weird, even by Hollywood standards. Haven quickly receded from Jolie’s public life, and within weeks, she wed her “Pushing Tin” co-star Billy Bob Thornton, who was then engaged to actress Laura Dern.

“I left our home to work on a movie,” Dern told Talk magazine in 2000, “and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I’ve never heard from him again.”

Jolie and Thornton — then 24 and 44, respectively — embraced their role as Hollywood’s premier freak-show couple. They wore ­vials of each other’s blood around their necks and boasted of wild sex on fur-lined harnesses.

The marriage lasted four years, until the moment Jolie said was life-changing: her decision, while filming “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” in Cambodia, to adopt a child.

“I knew once I committed to Maddox,” she said, “I would never be self-destructive again.”

Jolie divorced Thornton. “She used the same M.O. as with Brad — accused him of having affairs and being drunk,” says Morton, her biographer. “As soon as Maddox came along, Billy Bob had served his purpose.”

Thus Jolie began her pivot from savage, man-stealing sex bomb to valiant single mom of an indigent child. She began working with the United Nations as a goodwill ambassador. Her time in Cambodia, she said, “made me suddenly realize certain things about the world and how much I had to learn.”

She was a spoiled Hollywood brat who orchestrated her public awakening to the less fortunate and duly expressed shame. As an actress, things were less exciting. She trudged along in a series of unremarkable movies: “Original Sin,” “Life or Something Like It,” “Beyond Borders,” “Alexander.”

It wasn’t until 2004, when she replaced Nicole Kidman in a film called “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” that Angelina Jolie’s star power ­became stratospheric.

This, of course, was the movie where Pitt and Jolie met and fell in love. At the time, Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston, and they were considered Hollywood’s golden couple: he the wholesome, Midwestern matinee idol, content with a bong and a beer, she the A-list star of “Friends,” the breezy, sort-of-plain popular girl who had landed the high school quarterback.

Jolie, with or without Pitt’s knowledge, helped extricate him from that marriage expertly. In April 2005, amid rumors of their affair, Pitt flew to visit Jolie and her toddler son in Kenya. Paparazzi somehow knew to be there, and a now-iconic image of Jolie, Pitt and Maddox made the cover of US Weekly.

Aniston had said goodbye to Pitt hours earlier, with no knowledge of his plans. “The world was shocked, and I was shocked,” Aniston told Vanity Fair that year.

Rumors were rampant that Jolie was pregnant with Pitt’s baby — compounding the tabloid narrative that Pitt badly wanted to be a dad but, denied by his career-obsessed wife, had no choice but to leave.

“My worst fear,” Aniston’s friend Kristin Hahn told Vanity Fair, “is that Jen will have to face them having a baby together soon, because that would be beyond painful.”

In July of that year, Jolie adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia, an event she announced in People magazine. She began heavily publicizing her work as a UN ambassador. To paraphrase the old saying about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire: Jolie gave Pitt gravitas, and Pitt gave her respectability.

In May 2007, the couple relocated to Namibia, where a heavily pregnant Jolie was again shot by paparazzi, with Pitt and her two children, on otherwise empty sand dunes — this, even though the couple had gotten the Namibian government to ban all journalists from entry so she could give birth there.

After their daughter Shiloh was born, Pitt and Jolie gave a press conference only to Namibian reporters. They sat on a dais with Namibia’s president, Sam Nujoma, formerly the country’s dictator, and began their spin off planet Earth.

In 2007, Jolie began forcing celebrity journalists to sign contracts before interviewing her. These forbade “any questions regarding her personal relationships,” even though her personal relationships were exactly what she was selling. In April of that year, People glowingly reported Jolie’s adoption of a 3-year-old boy from Vietnam.

His mother was still living, and Jolie changed his name from Pham Quang Sang to Pax. He spoke no English, but no matter — the magazine deified Jolie, shooting her in profile, holding her new toddler as they gazed off at the horizon. In less than two years, Jolie and Pitt had a family of four.

“I know we seem crazy, just bringing them in one after the other,” Jolie told the New York Times in 2008, the year she gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne.

“But we do plan,” she said. “We make sure one is absorbed completely into the family before we add ­another.”

Sanding down their scandalous origin story further, Jolie founded the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation in 2006. Though the couple have always said they donate all the money they make from selling family photos to magazines, tax filings raise questions.

In 2008, the year they sold pictures of the twins to People for $14 million, the foundation gave away a little over $6 million. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees got $100,000; the Council on Foreign Relations — which extended membership to Jolie the year before — got $110,000, and Pitt’s own nonprofit, Make It Right, got $1 million.

The year before, the MJP Foundation listed itself as a “consultant” to Make It Right, earning $204,867 in fees. It also listed nearly $4 million in assets invested with, among others, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. They donated just $1.4 million, with $333,000 going to the UNHCR, which finally, after nearly $1 million in total donations from MJP, named Jolie a special envoy in 2012.

In 2014, People paid $2 million for the Jolie-Pitt wedding photos. But the magazine doesn’t appear on MJP Foundation filings. However, Asprey, the jewelry company that has commissioned designs from the couple, does.

Reps for Pitt and ­Jolie did not return requests for comment.

As adroit as she has been, Jolie has seemed to lose touch with how she’s actually perceived. Her pretension has become boundless: bragging to a UK radio program that her six kids speak seven languages, including sign language.

“Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic,” she said.

Vivienne is 8.

Jolie has been publicly on the verge of quitting acting since 2005, ready to sacrifice movie stardom for her kids — never a mention of the nannies — her charities, the world. In November, she begins a visiting professorship at the London School of Economics. She is reportedly seeking to move to England permanently to join the House of Lords, which requires UK citizenship, and remake herself yet again, this time as a politician.

“I’ve never loved being in front of the camera,” she said in 2014.

It’s a transition sparked, most likely, by her failed attempts to become a serious writer-director. Each successive film — 2011’s “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” 2014’s “Unbroken” and last year’s disasterpiece, “By the Sea,” in which she and Pitt played a couple on the verge of divorce — has bombed exponentially.

The Sony hack revealed true ­industry opinion of Jolie. “Minimally talented spoiled brat,” wrote super-producer Scott Rudin to then-Sony chief Amy Pascal. “She’s a camp event and a celebrity and that’s all.”

By seeking to elevate herself by denigrating Pitt, Jolie’s hypocrisy has begun to show. Whatever went down on that plane, it most likely can’t be worse than having her children witness their father’s public humiliation at their mother’s hands — the ultimate irony for a woman who prides herself on motherhood above all.

As she told the New York Times in 2008, she was already worried about what her children might read about their lives. “There’s a lot we’re going to have to explain to them,” she said, “about how public their family is.”

Angelina wanted an open marriage and to move to Britain to become the new Princess Diana, reveals the biographer who predicted her divorce

  • Angelina wanted to move to Britain to pursue her political ambitions
  • She wanted to take the children and to have an open marriage with Brad
  • When he rejected the idea, Jolie reportedly flew into a terrifying rage 
  • Ian Halperin, the author of 'Brangelina, the Untold Story,' tells all here


When the end came, it was vicious and vituperative. Six days before the hotly disputed events aboard Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s private plane – when the allegedly inebriated actor is said to have verbally abused his 15-year-old son Maddox – Angelina said she wanted to talk in the airy living room of their sprawling mansion in the Los Feliz hills, with its panoramic views of Hollywood far below.

With their marriage in turmoil, the 41-year-old actress had, she said, worked out a plan. She would take their six children to live in Britain – increasingly the base for her charitable and political work as a United Nations Special Envoy for Refugees – while Brad would remain in Los Angeles to work on his film career.

To the outside world they would remain a happily married couple, she added. But each would be free to pursue whatever liaisons took their fancy. Furthermore, Brad would be able to see the children whenever he wanted to.

When Brad said his wife’s proposal was absolutely unacceptable, the famously volatile Jolie flew into a terrifying rage. In an instant, all the many fault lines in their tempestuous relationship were laid bare.

There were, friends say, allegations of infidelity on both sides, poisonous barbs from each of them about the other’s obsession with work. Most furious of all was the screaming row about the fate of their children, to whom Pitt is said to be devoted.

As has happened many times before, Brad is said to have struggled to cope with the sheer, frightening force of Angelina’s volcanic temper. He retreated to his room and locked himself in, leaving her beating the door with her fists and shouting for him to come out.

At the heart of the extraordinary confrontation was Angelina’s burning desire to move to Britain and devote herself to her wholly laudable political career, which has seen her campaign against violence against women in war zones, for the education of women in the developing world, and to ease the plight of the world’s millions of refugees.

She wanted to set up a permanent base at the couple’s rented £15,000-a-month home in Surrey, send the children to school in Britain, and pursue her ambition to continue the work of the late Princess Diana, whose life and role of champion of the landmine victims and AIDS sufferers she has studied in minute detail.

Furthermore, she has become obsessed with emulating her friend and mentor, Baroness Arminka Helic, by gaining a seat in the House of Lords as a platform from which to widen her campaigning work, and is prepared to give up her American citizenship to do so.

One friend even suggested that Angelina harboured a secret ambition to marry into the Royal Family, saying: ‘Prince Andrew is on her radar.’

When the family travelled to France last week, Brad believed the storm had passed. But Angelina was merely biding her time.

She had secretly consulted her lawyers, who told her there was only one way she could ever execute her plan: she needed to make sure by any means possible that she gained full legal custody of the children.

The best way to do that, Angelina decided, was to drag her husband’s name through the mud in the most damaging way possible by alleging he had harmed the children. Hence the headlines that Brad had physically abused Maddox on the return flight after he ‘got drunk and went wild’.


Brad’s friends say the actor was ‘crushed and devastated’ when he was hit by the double whammy of being served with divorce papers and simultaneously by allegations of drunkenness, violence to his son and an affair with French actress Marion Cotillard – rumours she has denied.

American newspapers have also reported that Angelina was fed up with her husband’s marijuana use. Friends say Brad may indeed have been drunk on the flight (and the FBI, which has jurisdiction over offences committed in mid-air, is making inquiries into the episode to see whether there is a case to answer), but would never have hit any child, let alone his son.

‘Brad is a pacifist,’ says one of his oldest friends. ‘He always shied away from confrontations with Angelina and is a devoted father. He is the one who plays with the children, not her.’

The friend adds that Brad was determined not to follow Angelina into the mud-slinging gutter.

‘He has always said he wants to take the moral high ground. ‘Whenever they have had “sell the house” arguments before, he has always pressed for them to go into mediation, divide their assets amicably, and agree to share the custody of the children before announcing to the world that they had gone their separate ways.

‘That’s why Brad feels so bereft and betrayed now. He can’t believe she is trying to trash his name and reputation because he has always said, despite the advice of his lawyer, that he would never bad-mouth the mother of his children.’

Despite the seismic shock among their Hollywood friends at the sudden and bitter nature of their split, few who – like me – have studied the evolution of the Brangelina phenomenon for more than a decade will be surprised that they are going their separate ways.

Another point of conflict was the role played by Angelina’s brother James Haven, whom she was memorably pictured kissing on the lips on the red carpet at the Oscars, prompting her to deny their relationship was incestuous.

Haven is said to be paid ten per cent of her earnings to act as the family’s full-time nanny – a role Brad is said to resent.

They rowed, too, about the way that Angelina liked to drag the children around the world. Brad, and his worried parents, believed the children should be given a more settled upbringing with regular schools and the friendships that brings.

Such was the stress of the relationship that Brad took to drinking, friends say, and Angelina struggled with an eating disorder that saw her become dangerously underweight two years ago.

Nevertheless, the marriage endured. Indeed, contrary to recent speculation, Brad’s friends insist that he has never regretted leaving his former love, actress Jennifer Aniston, for Angelina, if only because he adores being a family man with six children. His only regret, they say, was that he didn’t do more ‘due diligence’ on Angelina as he had no idea at the beginning of their relationship that she was prone to violent mood swings.

But now, their friends maintain, Jolie has made the momentous decision that her life should take a radically different path – one that leaves the film industry behind. Angelina, sources add, has long felt a deep sense of inferiority when she compared her Hollywood career – which she feels stalled after she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Girl, Interrupted in 1999 – to her husband’s much-garlanded and hugely successful body of work and reputation as one of the most acclaimed screen actors of his generation.

Some say Brad believed she was being paranoid when she complained she had effectively been blacklisted by the Hollywood studios, and point out that he has always been devoted to his craft.

He continues to take acting lessons to this day and seeks to improve his performance with every film appearance.

Jolie, however, began to imagine a different life as a politician.

She first tried to persuade Brad to emulate Ronald Reagan by leaving his acting career behind to launch himself on the road to the White House, with her as the First Lady.


But while Brad has frequently supported liberal and Democratic causes, it is said he has no interest in a political career.

His reluctance to enter politics is said to have infuriated Jolie, who set out to create her own power base by campaigning on humanitarian issues.

Even those friends who are wary of her volcanic temper are convinced by her sincerity and sheer hard work in her campaigning. But it is clear that her ideas have gained more traction in Britain – where she was made an honorary dame in January 2014 – rather than in her native America.

According to my sources, Jolie is as charming and hardworking as she is ambitious.

She is also an inveterate networker who became close to David Cameron and former Foreign Secretary William Hague.

However, her closest pals and mentors in Britain are Baroness Helic, who fled the war in her native Bosnia in the 1990s and became an adviser to William Hague, and Chloe Dalton, another former Hague aide. Baroness Helic runs Jolie’s charity, and she and Dalton are said to advise her on everything from foreign travel to childcare.

It was Helic who first made Hague watch Jolie’s harrowing 2011 film In The Land Of Blood And Honey, a love story set against the backdrop of the conflict.

‘Angelina has become convinced that she can become something like a cross between Princess Diana and Mother Teresa,’ says one long-term confidant.

‘She has studied Diana’s life in minute detail and thinks she can carry on her work.

‘She is also prepared to give up her American citizenship to become a member of the House of Lords, which she thinks she can use as a platform to push her project forward. She has talked about it for years.

‘Don’t underestimate her – she is utterly charming and absolutely persuasive with people who are in positions of power.

(not after this)


‘She has always got what she wants and always moves onwards and upwards, just as she did from [former husbands] Johnny Lee Miller to Billy Bob Thornton to Brad Pitt.

‘Now she thinks she’s outgrown even him. I think she wants to emulate Grace Kelly by moving seamlessly from Hollywood to European royalty.

‘Her goal now is definitely to hook up with a high-profile politician or a Royal. She thinks she fits Prince Andrew’s profile and I believe he is on her radar.’

It all leaves heart-throb Brad having to cope with the unfamiliar humiliation of suddenly being surplus to Angelina’s requirements.

He also faces an agonising decision: does he defy the advice of his lawyers and insist for the good of his children that he will continue to inhabit the moral high ground by staying silent about Angelina’s split personality.

Or will he swallow his principles and fight fire with fire?  

good luck with her political ambition let's see how will that prosper after all of this.  
her true colors are back and her pasts all makes sense now.
she's sick in the head.

RACHEL JOHNSON: Angelina trampled over the one golden rule of divorce...

By RACHEL JOHNSON FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

The break-up of the Jolie Pitts has turned into a total Hollywood starmageddon, so far sucking actors George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Marion Cotillard, Jon Voight and Billy Bob Thornton into the black hole of a couple’s death spiral, but in all this there is one thing that I can’t get past.

As the daughter of divorced parents, and someone who is married to a divorcé, this much I know: never slag off your partner in public, and never, ever slag off your ex in front of the kids.

My parents were married for 17 years, and have been divorced for 37, and in that time I have never heard my father say one unkind word about my mother. My husband, who had a brief starter marriage in his 20s, would not dream of letting the side down either.

It’s bad manners. It’s unpleasant. Some things are very much not better out than in.

After all, I’m sure many of us, settled in a long-term relationship, have at some point secretly daydreamed about being the brave, bereaved relict in widow’s weeds, weeping at the funeral, after one’s beloved other half has somehow met his maker.

This fleeting fantasy (or so I am assured by a couples’ counsellor!) is completely normal, natural – even common, as life is short but marriage can seem very, very long.

According to figures out last week from the Office of National Statistics, more than a million people are miserable with their spouse or partner: there are 15.7million married and cohabiting couples in Britain, and of these, one in 20 – five per cent – declare themselves ‘extremely unhappy’ in their relationships.

A further 3.5 per cent were ‘fairly unhappy’,’ with only 5.9 per cent declaring their relationship ‘perfect’.

And this, too, is normal. ‘Happiness goes up and down, and just because you feel unhappy one year, it is not a reason to throw away a relationship,’ says Harry Benson, of the Marriage Foundation. And yet, or so we are led to believe, Mrs Jolie Pitt didn’t hang on for the either happily or unhappily ever after, nor did she put her best foot forward for the sake of the kids.

No, she pulled the plug after an alleged fracas on a private jet, while Brad was, again allegedly, loaded on weed and booze. She filed for divorce, and the papers seeking the dissolution of the marriage of Angelina Jolie Pitt and William Bradley Pitt after of only two years and one month are up online for all to see.

Unforgivably, in my book, Angelina also claimed this was for the ‘health of the family’.

In four brutal words, she told the world that Brad was a Bad Dad, a possible addict and abuser, and as a result of her course of action, the entire eight-strong J P clan is in complete meltdown, surrounded by the paparazzi and in the middle of the biggest media firestorm since the parting of the Waleses.

Now all this slightly, to my mind, suggests that Angelina does NOT have the best interests of her family at heart.

If that was the case, she should have done what Madame Tussauds did, when it just moved the wax figures of Brad and Angelina apart.


She could have spoken to her husband, instead of leaving him to find out they were getting a divorce.

Ideally, they should have spoken together to their hundreds of children, and after that they could have consciously uncoupled or whatever you do in LA, and then marked the triste occasion by toasting each other with vials of blood or whatever their current poison is. They could have moved apart.

‘He was appealing to her to do this quietly – not to save the marriage but to consider the well-being of the children – and it was ignored,’ a friend of Brad told the US magazine People.

Angelina could have done it his way. But she did it her way. She took their relationship from Mr And Mrs Smith to Kramer v Kramer – and as Brad, formerly one half of Brangelina, said, ‘unleashed hell’.

Having got that off my chest, I still hope he never says a word against her.
