Jon Voight Loves Shakira

i think she has forgiven her father already it’s just that her father has been gone for a long time and being a father is being with you kid providing support, love, spending time with them. her feelings for her dad is not as strong as a child havin a father around. Gets! Being a parent does not necessarily mean being the biological parent to the child…… emotional tie is what counnts.

FROM LAINEYIn response to many of your emails, I have no idea what *officially* went down to make Angelina Jolie hate her father so much. And while I can’t argue with some of you who insist that a parent should never be treated so poorly, I will assert that his behaviour, at least publicly, has all the makings of sh&tty fatherhood, not only because he can barely remember the names of her children, but also because he has taken to slinking around with an air of overcompensatory guilt that immediately gets my smutty sense raging with suspicion. Unofficially? For the benefit of those who don’t have every ‘Brangelina’ detail memorised and on top of years of dysfunctional family turmoil, it all started when Jon Voight leaked the Maddox adoption to the media before Angelina and Billy Bob had been able to confirm the baby’s visa. Shortly thereafter, she cut him off for good which of course prompted his now infamous on camera appeal to Angelina to seek professional help for her ‘mental problems’, embarassing in and of itself but also putting her motherhood in serious jeopardy, resulting in threats to take her baby away, steady monitoring sessions, and increased social services scrutiny over the fact that she’d just become a single parent and her father told the world she was crazy. Needless to say, I’m thinkin’ this situation is a bit different from the Spelling one.

Lainey is spot on with JV. The only change I would make is to this sentence:"And while I can’t argue with some of you who insist that a parent should never be treated so poorly, JV was NO parent to Angelina as by his own admission, he was largely an absent figure in her childhood years."

If you all only knew the real reason Jon Voight was worried aobut her "health", perhaps you’d think twice about the man. He had some real concerns based on a very real situation. And Angie seemed quite happy to let him be Daddy, when she was a kid and was taken to the Oscars or movie premieres or whatever else she wanted to go to. Or are we forgetting those photos of a pre-teen Angie out with her dad? He certainly didn’t just drop out of her life. And if you want him to stop talking about his daughter and her children…then perhaps you could all petition the tabloid press to stop asking? So before you rush to your ill-conceived, baseless "opinions" I suggest you actually meet the people involved and know what the true situation is, before you spout the crap I’ve read here today.

# 65 | Mary - I hope you are not losing sleep over it. It has been two years now. Time to move on. As a matter, not the whole world… just you seem to have a very big obsession with it. Move on… the whole world is.

[...] That’s kind of sad that Voight hasn’t seen his grandchildren yet. He comes off as kind of a doofus when talking about his grandchildren, although he seems sincere about it. He called Zahara “Shakira” in a interview that aired last August when he also wished happy fifth birthday to Maddox. [...]
