Jon Voight Desperate to Reconcile With Angelina Jolie
Jon Voight is desperate to end his bitter feud with his superstar daughter Angelina Jolie.
The pair fell out in August 2002 after Voight claimed that his daughter had “serious emotional problems”. Jolie later indicated that she no longer wished to pursue a relationship with her father, and said, “My father and I don’t speak. I don’t hold any anger toward him. I don’t believe that somebody’s family becomes their blood. Because my son’s adopted, and families are earned.”
But Jon is now eager to reconcile with Angelina and meet his six grandchildren - three of whom are adopted - and her partner Brad Pitt for the first time.
Voight has said, “I’m always trying to reach her and send her my love.”
A source tells Britain’s Daily Express newspaper, “There’s nothing Jon wants more than to have his family back together again.
“It kills him to be shunned by his children. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to put this rift behind him.
“As Jon grows older he’s realizing the importance of family, and longs to be a part of his daughter and grandchildren’s lives. It breaks his heart to be kept away.
“Since Angelina’s mother [Marcheline Bertrand] died, Brad Pitt has been gently urging her to reconcile with her father, if not for her sake, then so the children can have their grandfather in their life.”

if all he said was she has “serious emotional problems” and that is the only reason she is mad, i think she should get over it. she tongued her brother, wore blood around her kneck and had a pet rat…..sounds like a freak to me

You reach out to family, not the media. Everytime he whines to the media I never can take him serious.

Family does not “become” your blood, they are born your blood. It is a physiological fact. And families are not earned, they are accepted and loved as they are. Tell me…how did her adopted kids “earn” their families? I guess all the poor children in adoption centers without familites deserve to be there because they have not “earned” a family. This chick is a joke. Her dad was right.

I think she needs to grow up some here. She has done plenty of outlandish things, one of them falling in love with a married man and never looking back or apologizing to someone she hurt deeply (jen)
If Jenn can move on, Angie can move on.
Let the kids have a relationship with their grandfather before it is too late. If she wants nothing to do with him, fine, let the kids know and love their grandfather.
Or let him go to court and get grandparent visitation rights. He does have that option.
she is a looney toon, get over it bitch.

I believe he tried to reach out to Angie, she wouldn’t take his calls…I think she should get over herself..life is way too short to hold a grudge..besides..what he said was true..she did have problems…

I agree with you Amanda, but she seems to air everything out publicly too and maybe the media is the only way for him to get any kind of message to her. I personally don’t care if they reconcile, but I think he was correct in saying that she has serious emotional problems. I think it’s great that she chooses to spend some of her time doing good things, but that doesn’t mean she’s mentally stable. Sorry

she doesn’t forgive her father for being unfaithful to her mother…completely understandable but considering her own history with other women’s men i think she should try and forgive him and at least let him meet his grandchildren.

I think my bad opinion of Angelina is mostly due to this. He made a statement about her that was so TRUE at the time. She may have straigtened her life out, but she WAS showing serious emotional problems, and she knows it. She admitted cutting herself, wearing blood, and a lot of other weird shit.
To turn her back on her own father for something he said (that was true) … well, I’d hate to see where her relationships with her kids end up then, after they reach their teenage years …
In short - she sucks.

You guys, grow up. This is a personal family matter, and I’m guessing most of the true facts are missing. Your opinion really doesn’t matter in this one.

Blondey, I think they’re missing you on JJ’s site.

There is nothing personal about Angelina Jolie’s life. I guess only supportive opinions count? She’s a nutjob.
