They Still Hate Daddy

Filed under: Angelina Jolie > Celebrity Feuds

angggee.jpg

Angelina Jolie's brother, James Haven, is feature in the November issue of Marie Claire magazine. And he uses the article as an opportunity to bash their estranged father, Jon Voight.

James tells Marie Claire, "I don't want to constantly berate my father. I wish him well, and I hope he finds peace  but he put my mom through years of mental abuse, and it made me care especially for abandoned women and
children. So that's my religion - helping widows and orphans."

In a statement first released exclusively to Life & Style magazine, Jon Voight responds to his son's comments, saying, "I find it very heartbreaking that my children want to paint a bad guy portrait of me. I feel it comes from their inability to let go of years of programmed anger from their mother, who understandably felt quite hurt when we divorced.

In all truth, I tried to give him and their mother continuous love and support and large sums of money. God knows, for years I've tried to mend this relationship. Perhaps the trauma of their mother's passing has made it worse. I continuously send them my heart and love and am always available to them for whatever they need from me."

You guys! Cut it out!

Can't we all just get along???

For the sake of Shiloh!

    i agree with perez when he says for the sake of shiloh.

    i personally didn't have the opportunity to meet my grandfather because he passed away before we got the chance to travel to the middle east and i really wish i met him. jon is getting old and she really should know her grandfather before, god forbid, something happens to him.

    The only people who know the truth are the three of them. Perhaps they have a very good reason to separate from their father. From my experience, children don't tend to cut parents out of their lives for something small.

    Divorce is hard. But these two knuckleheads are taking the whole issue to the extreme.
    At some point they all took his money…now to keep a sense of importance and being quoted in the media….blast DADDY.
    Why else would the weirdo brother even be in a magazine?

    God how sickening. Widows and orphans? Is this idiotic spin supposed to make us feel empathy for him and his equally gross sister? Those two dumbasses need to get over themselves. They'll feel guilty after daddy's gone, but then they can just milk that for PR, too.

    She travels around the world telling countries who have been feuding for centuries to make nice…but she won't even forgive her own Father who just may have been just a TAD unfairly portrayed by a bitter ex-wife. PLEASE.

    If she weren't Voigt's daughter…she'd be another starving starlet right now. When she first made that movie, GIA…which I think was her first…he CONSTANTLY talked about her on every show he went on saying how great she was…that she was the real deal and how proud he was of her.

    She's so ungrateful…She'll have her payback.

    For someone who travels all around the world trying to show her compassion for humans, she sure doesn't have much compassion. Not towards her father or for women who's partners she wants.

    Angelina is a disgusting slut, hor pig. she breaks up marriages then talks shit about her father. She should look in the mirror - she is sad. The only reason Brad fell for her and is with her is becuz of the kids. He's really regretting that too. He is stuck now. She needs a lip job!!

    There could be truth in what Voight Sr. says. Vindictive divorcees are not above painting a one-sided picture. Anyway, She's gone (RIP), and he's here, and they'll benefit most by setting this aside. He COULD be the wronged one, at least partially, but no one considers that. Everyone always aligns with mommy regardless. They need to value John while they still have him.

    Take it from someone who has a fucking psycho father who is always the victim–if the kids both say to leave them alone, he should shut the fuck up and stop talking to the media. What a piece of shit to try and force them to have a relationship with him.

  35. JamesIsAFreak says – reply to this
    35

    What has James done to deserve the cover of a magazine except to cash in on his sister/ex lover's fame. My father abandoned me and my family at the ripe old age of 8 and I dealt with it and as an adult I have moved on. James needs to shut the fuck up. If he doesn't care about him then why does he keep talking about him. He is just trying to bank another 10-15k for a dumb inane interview with a magazine. Get a real job freak and stop sponging of the careers of your lover sister Angelina and your father. I guess your mother never taught you the power of forgiveness.

  36. Denise says – reply to this

    I feel sorry for the dad…he is constantly trying to mend fences with his two kids. It is hard to take Angelina seriously in her "compassionate person" role when she snubs her own father. Whatever happened is in the past…believe it not …people make mistakes. Just like Angelina hooking up with Brad while he was married to Jennifer. James & Angie…grow up!

Go ahead Tramp-elina just french kiss your brother - you know you want to…!!! Then suck the blood out of him and hang it around your neck….then go buy another baby … then go wreck a few more marriages… and then your day is done! You great "humanitarian" you!

    Poor James - it sounds like their mother did them no favors regarding her references to their father. This is why you never speak ill to children about the other parent. One dies and then the other is left with the unhealthy mess.
    James and John obviously have much talking to do and hearts to mend. John sounds very loving and open armed, and those kids need to stop wasting any more time while they still have him. The truth is prob. somewhere in the middle.

    To me it has nothing to do with divorce why they still "hate" their father, but EVERYTHING to do with trying to not look like the products of hollywood nepotism that they ARE!!! Do they honestly think for one iota of a second they would be in their current acting career situations if it WASN`T for their father?? If it wasn`t for their father opening doors for them, both of these spoiled punks would be making B movies while waiting tables.

    SEXUAL ABUSE…its deeper and pretty damn unforgivable…sorry i dont buy the 'abandoning wife n kids" act, like that is the ONLY reason they have hated him all these yrs..

    Spoiled little rich kids need to grow the fuck up. Plenty of people had much harder childhoods than these two Beverly Hills Brats could ever imagine and don't go around disowning thier parents. GET OVER IT. GROW THE FUCK UP. This is one thing that really bothers me about Angeline Jolie. You'd think after destroying another woman's marraige, wrecking her home and getting herself knocked up by the ABANDONED woman's husband, she'd have a little insight into her father's infidelity.

    Re: Ohshutthefukup – You need to shut the fuck up. You don't say sh*t like that unless you know without a doubt that it's a fact, which you don't. Otherwise, it's slander, and probably answerable in a court of law.

    First of all - - - that photo is so entirely inappropriate! (lack of judgement) - would you wear a tank top with your nips on display while with your Dad and brother?! Ugh! What was she thinking?? (she was not)
    Her father was famously abusive - rumor is that it was much more than verbal abuse (icky stuff)
    Angelina has never recovered, nor has her brother.
    She has few, if any, friends; they are often "freaks/misfits" themselves.
    She shows consistent signs of Borderline Personality Disorder.
    Do you think that even one psychiatric evaluation or exam was done on her for even one of her adoptions?
    Of course not.
    Can you take a guess what they would find?
    So why does she keep getting permission to adopt?
    $$$$
    And Brad Pitt has chased fame and every woman who could get him there.
    He is now permanently enshrined.
    For all the wrong reasons.
    Take their children away!
    Or simply chain them to a permanent residence to give those innocent children the chance for some balance and sense of safety & security
    Oh, if only the Nannies could talk!!

    "I feel it comes from their inability to let go of years of programmed anger from their mother, who understandably felt quite hurt when we divorced."

    Oh snap! he shouldn't have said this. I think Angie was willing to forgive him but bro was not. never mess with the mother who is now passed on. JV screwed up.

    Good for Angie and her bro. There's no way they'd still be pissed off at their dad unless he treated them pretty horrifically. He was rumored to be cruel, neglectful, abandoning–and I often wonder if he was sexually abusive or a substance abuser. Their mom died–if dad was even semi-okay, then they'd want to be around their only living parent. Besides, kids don't woe barely there parents anything. I'm sure that now Angie's richer and more successful than him, he'll spend time with here. What could she possibly need from him? I admire her for not playing it politically correct. Doesn't anyone remember his antics on TV when she could have lost custody of Maddox for his the remarks he made about his own daughter? He was great in Midnight Cowboy, but he's so obviously a big ass.

  68. Seriously says – reply to this
    68

    Weren't Angie and her dad hitting up the red carpet together and starring in movies together only a few years ago?

    Life is way too short to hold grudges against parents. I'm sure that their dad has hurt them in the past, but he seems very open and willing to try and make amends for his mistakes. I lost my dad at 19, and it pisses me off when people (especially celebrities) estrange themselves from their parents for stupid petty shit, especially people like Angelina and her creepy brother and her brother who are all about family togetherness and blah. blah. blah.

    Uggggh. I so should be working right now.

    Jion Voight is the only sane one in that dirty family.

    He probably divorced their whore mother bcuz he couldn't take her nasty drugged up lifestyle anymore, then she got the kids & brainwashed them against their father ( as often happens in divorce )

    Angelina is obviously a fuck up looking for constant attention, whoring herself, then adopting the world's garbage.

    Her brother is a little bitch who changed his last name out of spite & to show his dad he identifies more with women than men.

    Is it just me or was he fine with him in the picture. Does he share a collective brain with his sister or what? I guess when she decides to bury the hatchet he will too because, obviously, his feud with daddy began when Angelina's did. Then again, maybe he's getting more $$$ from her than good ol' dad. Money talks!
