Angelina Jolie putting ‘health at risk’ as she juggles work, son Pax’s care and Brad Pitt divorce battle
LOS ANGELINA, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Jolie juggles a whirlwind of responsibilities, both personal and professional. Currently, she focuses on her film 'Marie', which she hopes will earn an Oscar nomination, while also managing her role as a producer on upcoming projects.
Amid this, Jolie tirelessly cares for her son Pax, who recently had an accident. She also contends with the ongoing complexities of her divorce from Brad Pitt, who now appears publicly with a new girlfriend and fights for custody of their children. The mounting pressure is clearly affecting her.
Angelina Jolie's plates are full
On the official side of Angelina Jolie, she is "really spinning so many plates right now." An insider revealed to In Touch, "She’s in the middle of this campaign behind the scenes to get an Oscar nomination for her work on 'Maria', plus she’s producing a bunch of new projects and fighting tooth and nail to beat Brad in court."
The source added, "As a result, she’s in meetings morning, noon and night. The moment she wakes up until her head hits the pillow she’s all systems go."
Angelina Jolie busy taking care of son Pax after his accident
In addition to her professional challenges, Angelina Jolie is also facing significan personal struggles, which have intensified following an accident involving her son Pax.
To provide background, Pax crashed his electric bike into a car at an intersection near their Los Feliz home in LA in July this year, resulting in hip pain and a head injury. Paramedics rushed him to a local hospital, where he was treated and later released in August.
Sources reveal that caring for Pax has added to Angelina’s already overwhelming stress. Despite her busy schedule, she is deeply involved in his care, opting to handle much of her son herself rather than relying heavily on medical staff.
The source added, “She’s not relying on a big staff of medical people, she’s doing a lot of the hands-on stuff herself because as his mother she wants to be as involved as possible."
“You’d think this horrible scare might get her to back down from her fight with Brad, but if anything, it’s made her more determined to win and expose him for the jerk she says he is,” the source added.
Angelina Jolie's pending divorce with Brat Pitt adds additional burden
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking custody of their children.
Although the couple was legally declared single in April 2019, their divorce remains unresolved, adding to Jolie’s burden. She was recently spotted gaunt and pale, a reflection of the ongoing turmoil in her life.
“The stress of it all is clearly getting to her,” the source continues. “She’s hardly sleeping or eating and is thinner than ever, it’s frightening and there are fears she could wind up putting her own health at risk in all this.”
