The National Ledger is at it again
The newest claim from the National Ledger is that Angelina Jolie may be trying to reunite with her father Jon Voight, and may have used Valentines day as a conduit to do just that.
None of us knows what’s really happened between them to make her not speak to her father, but if it’s something that can be forgiven and worked through (realizing that some things are unforgivable and can’t be worked through) I hope that they are able to do just that.
Brad Pitt has reportedly tried everything to get his lover and the mother of his children Angelina Jolie to get back in touch with her estranged father Jon Voight. According to a report from Star Magazine when Shiloh was born last year Brad even sent photos of the baby to Jon. According to that report, Jolie was not pleased.
A inside source told the weekly entertainment magazine that “she read [Brad] the riot act? and said it was “a complete betrayal on his part.? The report claimed that Brad wished to rebuild Angelina’s relationship with her father because he has such a positive relationship with his own family: Angelina is claimed to have replied that he should “deal with his own family and leave hers alone or it will be the end of them.?

Now that Angelina has lost her mother will she use Valentine’s Day to reach out to her estranged father? The pair fell out in 2002 when Jon told Access Hollywood that he thought Angelina needed to “get help? for “serious mental problems?.
Jon has expressed interest in being involved again with Angie as her father and wishes to be a grandfather to her three children as well. Now is Angelina willing? A source tells life & Style Weekly that Angelina now wants her kids to know their grandfather.

“Angie feels it might be time to re-establish the relationship,” the friend tells the magazine. That would be fine with grandpa. He said in an interview lat year, “I certainly would have thought that we would have returned to love [and] been able to express our love and devotion to each other before this, but it’ll be around the corner, I’m sure of it.”
For the kids sake - it is likely time.

It seems clear that the tabloid press is just recycling old stories because they have no news to report. Jolie herself explained in a magazine article why she cut off ties with Voight in late 2001 after they finished filming Tomb Raider. She said she thought they were reconciled and all was fine when he saw her off at the airport on her way to a UN mission regarding landmines. She said he handed her a letter saying this is how he felt about her. She said she thought how lovely that he put his thoughts on paper and then on the plane she found this hateful letter to be all about what a bad person she was. She decided then and there to stop his emotional abuse and cut off contact.
Then in March 2002 he publicly announced she had adopted a baby from Cambodia at the Oscar Nominee Luncheon (his Ali nomination) and almost messed it up cause Cambodia was beginning to cut off foreign adoptions. She told the press then that she hadn’t spoken with him in months since 2001 and he had no righ tto speak for her. The Voight “mental health concerns” TV pronouncement came months later after she had already publicly announced her rift with him.

I have “issues” with my father, and it really, REALLY makes me curious what happened to cause the two of them to have such issues.
And there is a very big possibility that it’s not in the kid’s best interest to be friends with her father…sometimes grandpa’s aren’t that great.
