Jon Voight pleads with Brad Pitt for grandchildren's sake
Angelina Jolie has distanced herself from her father, Jon Voight. Despite their ideological differences, Voight remains deeply concerned about his grandchildren. Observing the ongoing conflict between Jolie and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, Voight publicly appealed to Pitt.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt spent almost 12 years together and have six children, but their relationship ultimately failed. Their conflict, particularly involving their children, shows no signs of ending. Claims suggest that Jolie has influenced their kids against Pitt, with their adopted son Pax expressing harsh sentiments about his father and their daughter Shiloh, who just turned 18, indicating a desire to change her last name.
Additionally, Jolie and Pitt have yet to resolve the sale of their expensive French vineyard, purchased together in 2008. Jon Voight, who once introduced Jolie to the world of cinema, no longer plays a role in her life but insists he prioritizes the well-being and safety of his grandchildren.
Brad Pitt's father-in-law makes a significant appeal
The breakdown in the relationship between Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight intensified due to their differing views on the Gaza conflict, which has been ongoing for nearly a year. Jolie, who is deeply involved in social issues, condemned Israel's actions, calling them an "act of terror." Voight accused her of anti-Semitism, arguing that "Hamas and this deceit of their ruling is destroying their own people."
Despite their severe political disagreements, Jon Voight decided to contact Brad Pitt, his former son-in-law, believing Pitt to be more reasonable. Voight stated that his only concern is the children's well-being.
I think that the kids need some stability. 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 - he said on Fox News.
The Oscar-winning 85-year-old also revealed that he wishes to see his grandchildren more frequently, lamenting that he does not speak to them "as much as [he'd] like."
