OlderAngelina’s Adopted Daughter Conceived During Rape?
The Ethiopian baby adopted by Angelina Jolie was conceived after her mother was raped, reports Reuters.
Mentwabe Dawit, mother of two-year-old Zahara, claims she was 24-years-old when she attacked one evening in 2004 after a day’s work at a construction site in the southern Ethiopian town of Awasa.
“[A man approached me in the darkness.] He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared,” Mentwabe said with tears streaming down her face. “[I kept the assault a secret because] I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly.”
Mentwabe gave birth in the family’s earth-floored house and she named the little girl Yemsrach which means good news in the Amharic language.
“I was unable to feed Yemsrach,” Mentwabe said. “My baby was on the verge of death. She became malnourished and was even unable to cry. I was desperate and decided to run away, rather than see my child dying… “I have never disputed the adoption of my baby by Angelina Jolie. I think my daughter is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world famous lady. I wish them both all the success they deserve.”
There’s also a video report of Mentwabe talking about how fortunate Zahara is to have been adopted by Angelina.

The truth hurts loonies! Hey why don’t we phone Jane Pitt and get her opinion of the movie? Then we can ask her how her Thanksgiving was! Poor woman, she feels so disgraced to have trash in the house!
There are definitely loonies, wackos, and dumb people out there.
The movie was made as a cartoon and therefore rated PG13. In result to this, the way the stars performed depicted the image of a mechanical movement of a toy. The expectation of wackos in their mind should not be that way. They want a boring depiction of an essay which is difficult for younger viewer to grasp. The movie was made for teens to easily understand the plot. That is the point.
Who is Jane Pitt?
I don’t give importance to someone who do not belong to this topic.
The truth hurts? The truth is BAEWULF is number 1 and top grosser. That hurts?
Read this article, This is very educational and will elevate the dumb critics status from moron to an improved level of understanding.

Is it Grendel come to visit?

When I was in high school and reading J.R.R. Tolkien, an English teacher, Miss Anthony, gave the class a copy of a poem written in Old English to read for comparison. The poem was Beowulf. I remembered the story was about the slaying of a dragon, it was difficult to read in the Old English, and I was not very impressed. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was now an animated movie. Imagine my surprise when I found myself at the theater asking for a ticket. I was there, it was available in 3D, and it was about to start. I decided to give it a try. After all, Beowulf is the world’s oldest surviving epic poem and contains timeless advice suitable for all the ages.
In synopsis, an enormous, powerful and ugly monster named Grendel attacks celebrating Danes in their meeting hall. No one can stop it. The Danes pray for a hero to save them and Beowulf arrives by sea with a very small army. Beowulf defeats Grendel and the mortally wounded monster drags himself back to his mother to die. The mother, angered and grieving, sets out to exact revenge. The Danes again look to Beowulf to defeat the new threat, and Beowulf sets out to find her where she lives. Upon meeting the beast, instead of finding a horrible monster, he finds a beautiful, seductive creature promising him fame, fortune and success if he will only lay with her. Beowulf succumbs. Beowulf becomes king of the Danes and they thrive for years under his leadership. Then, after the passage of many years, an even bigger and stronger monster in the form of a fire-breathing dragon attacks the village. Beowulf, called to duty one last time, loses his life in defeating the dragon and passes on the torch to the next generation.
It is a well-done, classic heroic epic I am sure younger people will enjoy, (especially in 3D), since there is plenty of action, graphic fight scenes, and gratuitous sexual innuendo. What would a 3D movie be without a few arrows into the audience or a spear in one’s face? The movie is not unlike watching an intense video game on the big screen. The movie also has a number of timeless messages for those who look deeper into the meaning.
In addition to lessons on loyalty, honor, virtue, faith, seduction, temptation, greed, lust, and basic human weakness, the story also attempts to teach how choices we make today may seem insignificant at the time, but their effects can grow over time and come back to haunt us. As the movie progresses, the audience come to suspect Grendel was the product of the King’s indiscretion with Grendel’s mother. Upon the death of her child, Grendel’s mother lures Beowulf into a similar situation and the deed comes back to haunt him as well so many years later in the form of the dragon. When Beowulf battles his dragon at the end, it can be seen as a metaphor for life and how people must sometimes do battle with their own inner demons, but do not always win. Then, to show the continuation of life, there is the suggestion that yet another is lured into the same trap just as Beowulf and the king before him were. It seems as though even the Danes understood the value of a good story in teaching generations about the nature of man.
This is one of the best “cartoons” I have ever viewed. It’s like a mix of a video game, an animated feature and a movie. I marvel at today’s amazing computer animation. In 3D, the movie is only slightly enhanced, but I like it and I recommend it. I was always fascinated with my Viewmaster as a young child, and I suppose I will never grow out of it. The movie is well-directed by Robert Zemeckis and features a all-star list of animated talent. The movie has something for everyone with a few lessons thrown in for the open-minded in the audience. Overall, a good movie and I rate it “A”. Miss Anthony will be pleased I finally learned some appreciation for Beowulf.

You are just bitter and jealous
The attacks on angelina is just a sign that a lot of people are threathen and jealous because she has become so popular. Brangelina is the most popular couple in hollywood and people are getting jealous. Detractors like geepipe are americans but the jolie pitt are well loved in asia and europe. No one in asia knows aniston. Aniston is only famous in america. Brad and angelina attracts viewers worldwide. Too bad her detractors are from their own country who are easily swayed by aniston’s publicity machine.
Kia Ora Angelina…Gee I have to thank JJ for putting his foot down!!!!!what do you think??????
The only mother Z knows is Angelina. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had a life.
Thanks to llm :
Your video is short, but very sweet.

Those who haven’t seen, please watch!
You guys should go see Bewolf. If you didn’t not see it already. It is maginifcent!
This is unfortunate in print because someday Zahara will be old enough to read it and understand it. That is why people should use compassion in speaking of it and reporting it. They need to take responsiblity for the manner that they report because print is forever.To use compassion would be more to their own benefit than to an innocent child.But, Karma can be a b**ch if we don’t take responsiblity for the things we say and do.
At least they didn’t say Shiloh was conceived from rape. Nah, saying that wouldn’t cut deep enough. I just hope Brad and Angie don’t brush this off as senseless gossip. I think that would be a major mistake where Zahara is concerned.
In the end, I bet this is tearing Angie up if any of it is true. With being a humanitairan who truly cares for these people. As a mother to know this mother is calling out. Man, I do feel for all involved if that is truly the person Angie is. Would keep me very awake at night, if not only for the mothers words, but protecting her child from being hurt, now and in the future. I like to believe that hardships in life make us stronger in the end. Best of luck to them with this one.It is hard to watch from a distance, can’t imagine what it is like living it.
God will bless you Angelina, Thank you Jared for the pictures and ban all bad and idiot comments.
the matter of the circumstances surrounding the conception seems to have generated a lot of discussion. Yes it is intrusive into the girl’s privacy, but also there is some value in this sad sad story (if true) coming to light as it illuminates the fact that adoption is laced with difficulty and complications in very many cases. This is not to say that the adoption (anyone’s adoption - not the JPs in particular) will not be a happy or a good one for the child in the long run, only to point out that there are always complicating issues in the background. This is why adoptions happen. Adoptions do not take place because a child feels like moving from one happy home to another : they take place because of tragedy - either poverty, or broken homes, or abuse. When we see the smiles of the new adopted family those of us who have been involved in the adoption process over many long years know that there is often tragedy at the root of the adoption and that in some (not all) cases this will affect the adoption relationship. I can’t sum up whether I feel it was right to publicise this case: if any good comes from it it will be showing other adoptive parents and children that difficult situations affect other adopters / adoptees too, even in the world of celebrity.
Angelina is amazing.
