Angelina Jolie's father has poured fuel on the fire of their family feud - marking a return to hostilities after tensions appeared to have cooled off.Jon Voight, 85, claimed his daughter's views on the Israel-Hamas war have been 'influenced by anti-Semitic people' during a fiery interview with Variety.'She has been exposed to propaganda,' right-wing pro-Israel firebrand Voight said. 'She's been influenced by anti-Semitic people.'Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she's enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.' Although the father-daughter duo have had moments of reconciliation throughout their strained relationship, they have also experienced many turbulent moments that have led to them becoming estranged.But Voight's latest incendiary comment came less than a month after he said he was 'proud' of Jolie and his granddaughter Vivienne after they stole the spotlight at the 2024 Tony Awards with their remarkable victory. The mother-daughter duo produced the musical The Outsiders, which won four trophies, including the top honor of Best Musical. 'I'm very proud of Vivienne,' Oscar winner Voight, 85, told TMZ afterward. 'I'm really proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be.'Angelina, 49, and her ex Brad Pitt, 60, share six children together: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15. 'I'm sure Angie contributed with the actors and Angie's a great director,' Voight continued to gush over the Maleficent star.Earlier this year, Pitt experienced an 'awkward run-in' with his former in-laws while attending a small gallery exhibition in Beverly Hills amid his divorce from Jolie.While on a date night with his new girlfriend Ines de Ramon, the two-time Oscar winner, 60, bumped into his ex-wife's father, Jon Voight, and older brother James Haven.The chance encounter occurred as they browsed through the Gagosian Gallery for an exhibition by his Moneyball director, Bennett Miller.
Showbiz411 was first to break the news as the outlet shared: 'Pitt and Voight actually hugged and spoke to each other.'An eyewitness told The Sun: 'Plenty of people noticed how awkward it was that Brad was in the same room as Ange's family, and it's not a big space.'Voight's relationship with his own daughter has arguably been even less cordial.
They were in contact briefly during the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001, but Jolie reportedly severed ties again with her famous father in the early 2000s.'We don't really speak that much anymore,' the Changeling star told Vogue in 2002, shortly after starring in the Lara Croft film. And Voight's Variety comment wasn't the first time he has openly slammed Jolie's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. In the aftermath of October 7, Voight slammed Jolie for her anti-Israel posts, branding them as 'lies' and saying 'the Israeli army must protect thy soil.''I am very disappointed that my daughter, like so many, has no understanding of God's honor, God's truths,' he said in an Instagram video posted early November.Jolie is formerly a special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees.She accused Israel of 'deliberately bombing children, women, families, deprived of food, medicine and humanitarian aid' in violation of the international law.In response, Voight said he was 'disappointed' that his daughter did not understand that Hamas' objective was 'to annihilate the land of the Jews.''This is about destroying the history of God's land, the Holy Land, the land of the Jews, This is justice for God's children of the holy land,' Voight continued.'The Israeli army must protect thy soil, thy people. This is war. It's not going to be what the left thinks, it can't be civil now.'Israel was attacked by inhuman terror on innocent babies, mothers, fathers, grandparents,' Voight noted.'You fools call Israel the problem, you should look at yourself and ask who am I? What am I? And ask God if am I learning the truth, or am I being lied to and following everyone else? The ones who understand truth see the lie.'
'These animals want to wipe out Jews, Christians,' he went on. 'They see that th Palestinians have not been neglected of finance. They have been given huge infusions of money, that they didn't share with the people. They made weapons instead, for their rage.'The people of Israel care for people. They love and cherish. Something these animals don't understand. Justice will prevail.'Voight called for Jolie to reassess her opinion on Israel's role in the war: 'Hamas and this deceit of their ruling is destroying their own people,' he added.He also hailed the 'great heroism' of Jewish people in the face of a series of tragedies throughout history, from the Holocaust to the recent 'Hamas Holocaust.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh's attorney has made a new statement about her 'significant decision' to drop her father's last name.The 18-year-old — who is one of the former couple's six kids — filed for the name change on her birthday this year, May 27. It was publicly announced with a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times.Regarding the public name change, in a statement on behalf of the teen, Shiloh's lawyer, Peter Levine, shared that she 'made an independent and significant decision following painful events,' adding that she was 'merely following legal process' when publishing the information.'Shiloh Jolie did not take out an "ad" announcing any name change, and any press reporting that is inaccurate,' Levine clarified, per People.'As Shiloh's attorney, I am required to publish a legal notice because the law in California requires that of anyone who wants to change their name. That legal notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, as is required.'In addition to Shiloh, the exes share sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, daughter Zahara, 19, and fraternal twins Vivienne and Knox, 16.Zahara and Vivienne have also dropped Pitt from their monikers, though it's unclear if Vivienne has made the change legally.Pitt has 'virtually no contact' with his older children according to a recent report. One month after Shiloh filed to drop his last name, a source revealed to People that Pitt's relationship with his older kids remains strained.'He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule,' the insider shared.Angelina filed for divorce from the actor in 2019 after five years of marriage.The union ended on a contentious note and their children appear to have taken sides.The two filmmakers have been locked in a bitter battle over their French vineyard and home after the Tomb Raider star sold her $64 million stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021. They later entered into an acrimonious back-and-forth over NDA's, which have become a key point in their fight. Jolie is now asking Pitt to 'end the fighting' and drop the lawsuit against her to allow their family to 'heal.'But sources told DailyMail.com that the Fight Club star 'has no intention' of dropping it, alleging that Jolie only made the plea after realizing that she does not have as strong a case as she previously thought.'Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he?

Brad Pitt REFUSES to drop lawsuit against Angelina Jolie after she 'painted herself as a peacemaker' in desperate bid to have him end bitter legal battle over Chateau Miraval

Brad Pitt will not drop his lawsuit against ex-wife Angelina Jolie after she tried to paint herself as a ‘victim’ in a desperate bid to get him to end their bitter legal battle over Chateau Miraval, insiders have claimed. Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, have been embroiled in a dispute over their co-ownership of the idyllic French winery, which they purchased in 2008, with the actor suing his ex-wife for selling her half without his consent for $67 million in October 2021. They later entered into an acrimonious mudslinging over NDA's, which have become a key battleground in their fight.Jolie is now asking Pitt to 'end the fighting' and drop the lawsuit against her to allow their family to 'heal.' But sources have exclusively told DailyMail.com that the Fight Club star 'has no intention' of dropping it - alleging that Jolie only made the plea after realizing that she does not have as strong a case as she previously thought. ‘Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,' an insider said. ‘Angelina is asking him to put an end to the fighting as if she is a peacemaker. This is nothing more than to paint herself as the victim. This is not a fight. This is a business dispute over the sale of property that was ultimately going to be for their kids. It was their inheritance, and she knows this. ‘She is realizing that she does not have a strong case anymore and she also knows that she may likely have to shell out the money by order of the courts. ‘Bringing very personal issues into a business lawsuit is backfiring on her. It has exposed the weaknesses in her case and has complicated matters for both parties. She didn’t need to do this.’ A separate source close to the matter refuted claims it is a 'simple business dispute,' and added: 'Pitt is the one suing Angelina yet he somehow thinks he can say she’s fighting him. She’s the one out there saying they should focus on healing their family and he should drop his relentless attacks on her, but he’s refusing. 'Suing her for 67 million dollars because she refused to sign an NDA covering up his abuse is not a “simple business dispute”. 'All Angelina wants is peace, but he is determined to continue fighting her and blaming everyone but himself for the situation he’s now in.'
The estranged couple, who met in 2004 while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith before tying the knot in 2014, share six children together: sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Knox, 16, and daughters Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and Vivienne, 16. They filed for divorce in September 2016.Pitt accused Jolie of breaching their purchase agreement to not sell to a third party without offering the other the right of first refusal when she sold her 50 per cent stake in Chateau Miraval to Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler, in 2021.The actor, who is now dating model Ines de Ramon, requested the sale be made void and sought monetary damages and legal fees, but it went through on October 5, 2021. When the then couple bought the 1200 acre winemaking enterprise and estate, Pitt took a 60 per cent stake while Jolie took 40 per cent.Pitt poured millions into the estate, riding the rosé wave, and expanding the business in an effort that saw sales grow 300 percent.Soon the estate they purchased for an estimated $60million was worth closer to $164million.By the time of their wedding, Jolie had 'stopped investing,' according to previously filed court records – something that she has denied.Still, Pitt transferred 10 percent of his share to her by way of a wedding gift in December 2013 'for the sum of 1Euro [never paid]' so that by the time of their marriage in August 2014, they were 50/50 equal partners. Jolie claims she backed out of their agreement because Pitt asked her to sign an NDA as part of their business deal, which allegedly would prevent her from speaking out about the abuse allegations, including the September 2016 incident onboard the private jet. Her team described this as an 'unconscionable' attempt by her ex-partner to 'control her' after their split.A source close to Pitt, later told People: 'Brad requested a mutual NDA and non-disparagement strictly related to Miraval over concerns around sensitive financial information and protecting the brand, which is standard with these types of transactions.' His legal team claimed that Jolie 'weaponized' NDAs, and asked for Pitt to sign a broader NDA just six months later as part of their divorce settlement talks.In a ruling made public back in May, Judge Lia Martin ordered the actress to produce all NDAs she proposed, or that were proposed to her by others, regardless of whether they were finalized or agreed.Earlier this week Jolie's lawyer, Paul Murphy, said: 'When Angelina again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong.'
Recent documents filed on behalf of Pitt in objection to Jolie's latest request list the pieces of evidence she would obtain. These include 'any therapy in which [he] voluntarily agreed to engage from September 14, 2016 through December 31, 2018, his consumption of alcohol from 2008 through 2021, his random drug and alcohol testing following the flight, communications with various government agencies about the flight, and confidential filings from the parties’ divorce case.''These requests are not designed to discover relevant evidence but rather to embarrass Pitt and/or to prejudice the trier of fact, which is not permitted by California’s discovery statutes,' the documents read.The estranged couples' eight-year divorce, which has had them at war over custody of their children, has not been finalized. They are legally single.

Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Jolie takes out newspaper ad announcing she is dropping his surname - as it's claimed bitter Angelina Jolie divorce battle is still ongoing as 'neither will let it go'

Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Jolie is moving ahead with her petition to legally drop the actor's surname - taking out a newspaper ad in The LA Times.Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, per the newspaper notice obtained by TMZ. The ad is a standard step before the court will approve a name change.The notice also states anyone who has objections to the petition should show up in court later this month. A source close to the matter told Dailymail.com last month: ‘Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it. 'But, if you’re asking if this is connected to the abuse history or the violation of Shiloh’s victims rights, yes, that’s part of it.’ The revelation that Shiloh paid herself suggests that the ugly spat between former couple Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, may still rumble on in the form of legal action from the six children the couple once shared. There have been long custody battles which ended eventually in a victory for Pitt, who got 50-50 custody in 2021 only to have it overturned on appeal.He’s had a judge intervene to tell Angelina she mustn’t listen in on his mobile phone calls with the children. The judge has also ordered ‘reunification therapy’ for Pitt and the kids.The actor set up a skate park in his home for Shiloh, and more recently an art studio to reflect their common interest in art.He’s sent cars and security to ferry the children from her home to his whenever there is an allotted custody visit. Sadly, none of it has brought them closer.In fact son Pax said in an Instagram post in 2016 that all four of the youngest children – that’s including Shiloh – ‘tremble with fear in his presence.’ The two elder ones were at that point already declining point blank to see him.The current situation has seen the children - Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh 18, and Knox and Vivienne, 16 - form a tight gang of seven with his former wife. A central issue seems to be a notorious private jet confrontation in 2016. An FBI report on the incident, which was published in 2022, saw Jolie accuse Pitt of physical assault while flying to California in 2016. She claimed that he was intoxicated and that he grabbed her by the head and shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.
Jolie told the FBI that Pitt told the children that she was 'f***ing up this family,' and she said he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times. She claimed that at one point he poured beer on her and a blanket she was under with multiple children. Source close to Pitt later claimed that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking. This comes amid recent claims that Pitt and Jolie's divorce - which has now dragged on for eight years - is still ongoing as neither of the stars can 'let it go.A source told People 'their disagreements took over' in the relationship, adding that things 'turned nasty and it was not a good situation for anyone.''All the bitterness is partly why the divorce has dragged on for so many years. Neither will let it go. You’d think they would be over it and just settle.' A separate insider said: 'Both of them were having issues with each other. The differences added up over time. It's really sad for the children, but also the parents. Divorce, especially one so high-profile, can be challenging for the whole family.'They both care. They both care about the children.'Pitt and Jolie began dating publicly shortly after he and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce in 2005. The Mr. And Mrs. Smith costars remained unmarried for years despite having multiple adopted and biological children together, but they got engaged in 2012 and finally tied the knot in 2014.However, it was only around two years later when the Maleficent actress filed for divorce in 2016. She and Pitt were declared legally single in 2019.Pitt is now dating Ines de Ramon, 35.

Angelina Jolie wants ex-husband Brad Pitt to drop his lawsuit against her regarding the center of their legal drama - Chateau Miraval winery - via her lawyer Paul Murphy.The actress, 49, wants him to 'end the fighting,' after he sued her for selling her half of the winery in October 2021 for $67 million, according to People magazine.Angelina asked that Brad, 60, disclose any third-party communication he had after théier private plane ride in 2016 - during which she said he allegedly became violent and abusive, which he has vehemently denied and was cleared of - leading to the demise of their marriage.During the plane ride, it was alleged that he had an argument with son Maddox - and the FBI investigated the matter and cleared Brad of any wrongdoing. Brad's lawyer said her request was 'intrusive' and a 'sensationalist fishing expedition,' per the outlet.His lawyer asked the judge to deny it.In February 2022, Brad sued Angelina for selling their Chateau Miraval Winery, their French winery and the place they tied the knot.They had 50/50 ownership, and Angelina sold her portion to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler. The holding company in control of her Miraval share is called Nouvel.He requested the sale to be voided and sought monetary damages and legal fees however the sale went through on October 5, 2021.In June 2023, Brad filed an amended complaint regarding her sale of her share of the winery.His lawsuit for the sale of her portion of the winery is still ongoing.Brad claims that Angelina went against their verbal agreement about their winery, but she claims that didn't let him buy her out because she didn't want sign his NDA - which was part of the deal, according to People.Her lawyer, Paul Murphy, claims that Brad 'tried to punish and control Angelina by demanding a newly expanded NDA to cover his personal misconduct and abuse.' per the outlet. 'Those actions are central to the proceedings. We are not at all surprised Mr. Pitt is afraid to turn over the documents demonstrating these facts,' Murphy said. 'When Angelina again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong,' Murphy said in the paperwork, per People.
The movie stars, who met in 2004 while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith, share six children together: sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Knox, 16, and daughters Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and Vivienne, 16.Jolie adopted Maddox in 2002, then Zahara in 2005, a year after she'd met Pitt while the pair filmed Mr and Mrs Smith. He was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.They then adopted Pax together in 2007, and had biological kids Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne afterwards. Pitt adopted all of the kids before they got married in 2014.They married in August 2014 after 10 years together but Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016.At the time, Angelina chose to file 'for the health of the family,' according to the Associated Press, and asked for physical custody of the children.Jolie filed for sole custody after filing for divorce following the alleged incident on the couple's private plane.By the end of September 2016, she was granted the full physical custody according to a judge, with Brad having visitation rights.Two months later, Brad filed his response, requesting joint and physical custody of the children.By December 2016, Brad filed - but was later denied - a request to seal the custody related documents.In January 2017, they released a joint statement revealing that they signed an agreement to keep their court documents confidential.The judge ordered Angelina to help repair Brad's relationship with their children and he was given more time with them.However, in August 2018, Angelina accused Brad of not paying any 'meaningful child support, with Brad's lawyers filing a response one day later, claiming he's paid her $9 million since their split.A judge granted them both legal single status on April 12, 2019, while the couple continued to finalize their divorce.Brad was granted joint custody by private Judge John Ouderkirk in May 2021 but Angelina challenged it.
A California appeals court disqualified the judge in July 2021, agreeing with Jolie in that the judge, Judge John Ouderkirk, did not sufficiently disclose business relationships with Pitt's attorneys.Lawyers for the star filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court after the disqualification of Judge John Ouderkirk effectively voided the joint custody ruling, according to People.In Pitt's petition, lawyers claim that elimination of Ouderkirk 'effectively upended the constitutionally authorized temporary judging system in California' and subsequently 'throws open the door to disqualification challenges at any point during a case, even if the party raising the motion has long been on notice about the alleged grounds for disqualification.' In addition, lawyers for the actor allege that Jolie was 'made aware of Judge Ouderkirk's significant professional history with Pitt's counsel from the very start,' yet did not seek disqualification until years later.The joint custody ruling was then vacated after his removal.Brad is currently romantically involved with Ines de Ramon, the ex-wife of actor Paul Wesley.
