Angelina Jolie’s ‘New Conflict’ with Outspoken Father Jon Voight: ‘His Rants Have Created Further Distance Between Them’

Jon Voight’s recent remarks on Angelina Jolie’s ongoing legal battle with Brad Pitt have further strained their already tense relationship.

A source revealed to Sydtomarket.net : “The current state of affairs between Angelina and her father is less than cordial.”

The 85-year-old actor publicly criticized Pitt and urged him to “step up” and “end this nonsense,” expressing concern for the couple’s six children—Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16.

Voight’s comments, made during an interview with Fox News Digital, were intended to show support for his daughter, but the effect was the opposite. The insider shared: “Jon may have hoped to improve his standing with Angelina by criticizing Brad, but she has repeatedly asked him not to comment publicly about her children, which makes his actions even more frustrating for her.”

The father-daughter relationship took another hit in July when Voight publicly criticized Jolie for her support of Palestine and accused her of being influenced by anti-Semitic propaganda. This criticism further deepened their rift, leading Jolie to cut off communication.

The source suggested: “Jon should stop making public statements about her and try to resolve things privately if he wants to mend their relationship.”

Voight’s strained relationship with Jolie also traces back to unresolved issues from the past, particularly how he treated Jolie’s late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, during their separation in 1976. The source mentioned: “Angelina has not forgiven Jon for his past behavior towards her mother. Many believe she is still holding onto this grievance.”

Jolie has previously expressed how much she misses her mother’s presence in her life and her children’s lives. Meanwhile, friends of Jolie have expressed concern about her well-being as she juggles the ongoing legal battles with Pitt and supports her son Pax through his recovery from a bike accident.
