Angelina Jolie admits to having low self-esteem

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

If Angelina Jolie has low self-esteem then there really isn’t any hope for the rest of us.

She says, “I struggle with low self-esteem all the time. I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it’s unbelievable.”

What’s unbelievable is that she thinks she has so much wrong with her.

I guess it’s not enough that she made People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People list.

But on the other hand, aren’t we all our own worst critic?

    lol/ She is really sexy!!! I have ever seen her hot video at mixedfriends.com which is a niche interracial dating site for all singles. She is really sexy with bikini in that video. You will know how passionate interracial kiss it is after seening it

  2. Ilana Says:

    I actually love the fact that she has admitted her battle with low self-esteem. It makes her REAL and NORMAL, with the same struggles we all face.

    Yes it’s true, she’s one of the most beautiful women on the planet, but almost every woman I know just doesn’t see what everyone else sees when they look in the mirror.

  3. Blondey Says:

    I agree, llana. Everyone always thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but it ends up usually being the same color! That aside, she is breathtakingly beautiful, even more so since she and Brad have been together. I am really happy for them.

  4. gia Says:

    i am sure she isnt talking about low self esteem with her looks…she is probably referring to her previous self destructive streak & her control issues when she says there is so much wrong with her… maybe throw in her eating disorder too.

  5. K Says:

    Maybe that’s why she keeps stealing other peoples husbands?? It makes her feel powerful to take other peoples men?

  6. nat` Says:

    Well, it’s perfectly understandable to have low self esteem when people judge you 24/7. Negative (and very unjust) things are said about her and others constantly. It would have to start to get to you after a while.

    I just adore her and I think she is a great person. Since none of us know any of them, how can you honestly say she is a husband stealer? You can’t “steal” a person that comes with you willingly. It’s comments like those that have to break down your esteem by great degrees.

  7. Nicole Says:

    K- How can you steal someones husband? Why isn’t Brad being held responsible? Idiot. Anyway. Just because she beautiful she’s not supposed to be sad or have low self-esteem? The prettiest girls always have the lowest self-esteem.

  8. Mo Says:

    So true, Nat! She didn’t “steal” anyone. It was BRAD’S choice to leave Jennifer, but everyone places all the blame on Angelina while he’s exonnerated of any wrong-doing. I love Angelina. I loved how patient she was with Maddox when she first adopted him and how becoming a mom changed her. I love her even more now that she’s mommy of four, girlfriend to Brad and expecting their 5th child!

  9. Mo Says:

    Sorry, I meant “so true, Nicole.” but I agree with what you said, too, Nat!

    brad looks like shit

  11. Kaz Says:

    Angelina has a very beautiful face, but a weird past, broken relationship with her father, STRANGE relationship with her brother, twice divorced, a 70 year old’s body, a very deep rooted need for approval and a very restless nature.
    By contrast she is generous, strong, hard working, charitable and has a great ability to connect with people who have a completely different life to her own.

    Just because someone is pretty, dating someone pretty with pretty kids doesn’t make everything ok. You spend more time living with what’s going on inside you than you do looking in the mirror.

    I hope she’s addressing her issues because little girls pick up on their mother’s fears & insecurities, espcially during their teens.

  12. nastybugger Says:

    brad wasn’t the only man she “stole”…BBT was pretty much living with Laura Dern. She went off to film on-location and when she got back, BBT and Angie were married. but I do agree on the “stealing” part. no man that doesn’t want to be “stolen” will get stolen.

    HOWEVER, I feel pretty confident in saying that Angie knew Brad/Jen were on the rocks and flaunted herself to brad giving him the “I’m available if you’re interested” vibe. which she most likely put out for BBT as well. she makes herself available to men that are taken and, let’s face it…men are weak in general and certainly when it comes to someone like Jolie. so, while she didn’t “steal” him, she certainly is skanky enough to get involved with men who are, for all intents and purposes, taken. I think it’s part of her low-self esteem problems. a LOT of women with self esteem issues do stuff like that. It’s the “let’s see if I’m attractive enough for him to leave his current squeeze for me” syndrome. I’ve know girls like that since high school…even so-called friends who hit on a boyfriend. they do it for some type of affirmation on their worth.

    oh, and nat? you wrote “I just adore her and I think she is a great person. Since none of us know any of them, how can you honestly say she is a husband stealer?”

    if none of us know them, how can you think she’s a great person? you don’t know her either, right?

  13. Kaz Says:

    And dee I agree- Brad looks like crap! I can’t stand the guy.

  14. Hahahahaha!!!! Says:

    OMG Brad pitt is such a giant DORK!!! He looks like an old man!!! What a douche.

  15. Sasha Says:

    I seriously doubt her low self-esteem has anything to do with her looks. Her looks are probably the main source of the confidence she does have. Maybe she doesn’t think she’s smart enough, or talented enough, or nice enough, or whatever. We all have those issues.

  16. DaWhat? Says:

    Give me a break!!!! She is so god damn full of herself. Can’t stand husband stealing Angelina!! I dont think she actually believes that comment she made. Whatev’s!!!

  17. Luscious Says:

    I dont think shes all that beautiful…frog face sorta. I just think shes low down & easy. She is giving but thats to make up for being a whore.

  18. teenie Says:

    Laura Dern stole her current husband from another woman, so I wouldn”t really call her a vicitm.

  19. teenie Says:

    thou shall not steal someone else’s husband.
    shame on jolie, shame on brad. it takes 2 to tango. brad is sleazy. angie is dirty.
    someday, karma will bite.

  20. Holly Says:

    AMEN nastybugger!!

    And teenie—I agreee….Brad is sleazy and angie is VERY dirty…nasty even!!

  21. plearto Says:

    Most women who stalk married or men that are in a relationship have very low self esteem. They do it to boost it. It is like if he likes me more than his wife I must be special. She hit pay dirt when she went after the other half of “America Sweethearts” So she is correct in saying she has many issues. I assume it stems from her dad leaving her mom and how her mom dealt with it.She needs to sort them out and stop going for the boost to her low self esteem by flirting her way through life. Very needy indeedy.

  22. Anonymous Says:

    Cry me a river, she is trying to relate to her fans, it is just press, trust me.

  23. anon69 Says:

    Give me a f**cking break! This chick is a MASTER manipulator. Angelina is the puppet master. What really blows me away is this is the woman who gives her brother tongue, wore blood around her neck, played knife games when having sex and now she adopts a couple of kids and all of a sudden everyone thinks she’s Mother Theresa. And don’t give me that shit about her growing up. The chick is unstable.

  24. violetta Says:

    Nasty Bugger I agree with you completly although it is inaccurate to call her a man stealer. She is one of those women that get off on seducing men that are in relationships. This is a clear indication that she has deep seated insecurities, because a woman who has her self esteem intact would be turned off be a man who cannot honor his committments.I believe Brad has some serious karmic debt.

  25. wildflower509 Says:

    It’s understandible that Angelina Jolie would have “guilt” problems. She broke up Laura Dern’s engagement to Billy Bob Thorton without a single thought to how Laura would feel when it hit the paps that she had married her fiancee…not a good way to treat another female; then goes on to repeat this error with Boy-Man Pitt. Karma is a witch, and most likely she is feeling the need to “wipe the slate clean” now that she is portraying herself publicly as the new Mother Theresa. I much prefered her at her insanest as her daddy said, “she needs help”

  26. RT Says:

    She said that years ago when she was just a yong girl. Why do magazines keep digging up stuff she said years ago and presenting it as it was new?

  27. RT Says:

    wildflower509
    No Angelina did not break up Laura Dern and BBT relationship, they had already broken up. On the other hand Laura Dern broke up BTT marriage and also Ben Harper marriage.

  28. RT Says:

    anon69

    She did not give “her brother tongue”, she gave her bother a kiss in the lips. Many people kiss their brothers, mothers, fathers… in the lips. There’s nothing wrong with it. Javier Bardem kiss his mother in the lips in the last Oscars, Travolta kissed kirk Douglas in the lips… It’s not Angelina, Javier or Travolta’s problems that you have dirty minds.

  29. anon69 Says:

    it wasn’t a quick peck on the lips, RT. I am not the only one who taken aback by that inappropriate display. It has nothing to do with having a dirty mind. It has to do with what is proper and that kiss was not proper.

  30. RT Says:

    anon69
    So show me the pics were there’s a “tongue” involved in that kiss.

    It was a kiss in the lips, it doesn’t matter how many secs it lasted. Did you count them? lol

    There was nothing “inappropriate” about it, like it was nothing “inappropriate” about Javier Bardem kissing his mother or Travolta kissing kirk Douglas.

    People like you only find it “shocking” because it’s Angelina Jolie and everything she does for some people is always “shocking” and “weird” blah, blah.

    Nothing Angelina ever did as she was growing up (because everything you keep throwing at her happen in her teens and twenties) is new or weird or whatever. Millions of young people go throw it/do it. The drugs, the cutting, the suicidal thoughts… it’s very common at that age. Do you some names in Hollywood that went through the same things?

    The only difference is that Angelina told and spoke about it openly (everything the media knows about Angelina, knows it from her mouth) thinking that she could help other young people that could be having similar problems.

    She probably didn’t thought that people would be using it against her and turning in something “weird”, “dirty” or whatever, years after.

  31. over it Says:

    YAWN! She needs to get over it and move on. Is this her excuse for banging married men? Funny how she refuses to have a relationship with her dad because he cheated on her mom yet she runs around with men and woman who are already taken. Total waste of space twit.

  32. RT Says:

    over it

    She never “bang” married men. And this quote is from YEARS AGO!

  33. anon Says:

    Jeez RT, are you a little Angeloony?

  34. amle Says:

    her low self esteem is why she is so jealous of other women.

  35. RT Says:

    anon

    What’s Angeloony? lol No i don’t think i’m that.
    But i’m an Angelina fan for many years, since Foxfire.

  36. RT Says:

    lol amle. You got it wrong. It’s the other way around. Other women are jealous of her.

  37. EdwardCullen's Girl Says:

    What happen to Brad? He looks bloated, unless it’s just a bad photo of him.

  38. Ayla Says:

    She’s just romanticizing herself. Silly, but everybody does it.

  39. aw! Says:

    Goergeous, wealthy and powerful. How can she really have a self-esteem problem? If I had 1/2 of what she has, I’d be happy.

  40. Self Esteem Says:

    Great Post! its crazy to think of big stars like that of having the same problems as little old me ;) … its kind of up lifting in a way lol
