Jon Voight widens rift with Angelina Jolie by commenting publicly on ex Brad Pitt and their children

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a dramatic turn of events, Jon Voight's recent comments about Angelina Jolie's contentious legal battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt have further strained their already fraught father-daughter relationship.

Voight has already strained his relationship with his daughter after criticizing her comments on Palestine. Now, Voight’s outspoken views on the divorce and his criticism of Jolie's public stances have only widened the rift between them.

It is worth mentioning that Jolie is currently juggling intense court battles and her son's recovery from a bike accident. The tension with her father adds another layer of complexity to her already challenging personal and professional life.

Jon Voight’s remarks on Angelina Jolie’s relationship with Brad Pitt further strain bond

According to a source who spoke to RadarOnline.com, "To say Angelina and her dad are not on good terms right now is an understatement!"

The 85-year-old actor recently shared his views on Jolie’s divorce from Pitt, 60, and emphasized that their six children need "some stability."

Voight stated, "I love the kids and I love my daughter, and I want Brad to step up, too, [and do] what he has to do [and] end this nonsense!"

Voight likely hoped his comments would improve his relationship with his 49-year-old daughter, but a family insider revealed that his remarks have only pushed Jolie further away.

The source noted, "He might think it would get him back into her good books because he's chastising Brad, but she has told him time and time again not to comment publicly on her kids — so of course she's frustrated he refuses to follow her requests."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's legal battles

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began their relationship after co-starring in the 2005 film 'Mr & Mrs Smith'. They married in 2014 but separated in 2016. Despite being declared legally single in 2019, the former couple has continued to engage in legal battles over custody of their children, asset division, and their French winery.

The legal disputes between Jolie and Pitt have dragged on for nearly eight years, with ongoing disagreements over several major issues. A major point of contention has been the sale of their French winery, Chateau Miraval. Jolie sold her stake in the winery for $67 million in 2021, triggering additional legal conflicts.

Jolie and Pitt have six children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

What happened between Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie?

The rift between father and daughter deepened in July when Voight criticized Jolie for her public support of Palestine and accused the United Nations of influencing her negatively.

He claimed, "She has been exposed to propaganda. She's been influenced by antisemitic people." 

Jolie was reportedly upset by these comments and chose to close the door on any reconciliation efforts. The source advised, "If he's smart, he'll stop answering questions about her and try to make peace privately."

However, it may be difficult to mend their relationship, as Jolie remains hurt by how Voight treated her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, during their 1976 separation.

The source added, "It's been nearly 50 years, but Angelina still hasn't forgiven Jon for his betrayal of her mother. A lot of people in Jon's world think she's still hanging on to this vendetta against him on behalf of her mom!"

Jolie previously expressed her longing for her late mother, saying, "She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to [my kids'] lives and I am sad they will miss out on that. I would give anything for her to be with me at this time. I've needed her. I talk to her often in my mind and try to think what she might say and how she might guide me."
