If he really wants Angie and the kids in his life, he needs to STOP TALKING TO THE PRESS. Sheesh. I'd snub him too.

Funny how she is angry for him for cheating on her mom, YET she went and moved right on in before Brad's marriage was over and got herself pregnant as well ... How can she be anger ... Hypocrite if you ask me.

This is so common in families, she should be mature enough to let him meet her kids. Then reconcile with him and talk it out. At least he is trying to reach out to be a grandfather.
Who knows though he could be a real bugger of a dad.

grandpa is a blabbermouth and that's why mommy doesn't want him around... and he didn't even send me a stuffed animal when I was born!

And if he wants to meet his grandchildren that badly then he should get up off his butt, march on down to her house and knock on the door ... What is she going to do, call security and/or police?? Make an attempt and maybe she'll take him seriously ... ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

technically, aj wasn't the one who cheated in that situation. also, brad + jen had no children.

blah, i don't know why i bother.

i agree with imcurly. i know it may not be favorable to do these things in the public eye, but i kind of feel sorry for him. maybe he's just doing it so openly b/c she won't allow him in her life any other way. i've been in these kinds of situations before (with my mom, who's way irrational at times), and it's really hard to get someone to give you that first inch.

I remember reading she was mad at him because he didn't acknowledge Maddox and Zahara as his grandchildren, but now that she's had Shiloh he's so eager to meet them. Their relationship has always been difficult, but it would be nice if they reconsiled before he died.

how sad

AJ did not cheat with Brad, Brad and Jen were separated one or two years before they got together

ImCurly - if he just shows up at our door Maddox will kick him out!

one or two years...?

i thought it was more like one or two months...??

Life is short, people need to get over it.

If it's true, Jolie being mad at her father because he cheated on her mother is outrageous! That is none of her business. Many marriages have infidelity - my father cheated on my mother, but when you become an adult, it is no longer your business. There has to be more as to why they aren't talking.

Isn't her mom dying of cancer? If she knows life is short, why doesn't she let her father see his grandchildren because he's an older guy.

Well her being angry about the mom thing is BS because she had a great relationship with him years after that. What's really upsetting her I think is that the jerk went on tv saying how crazy she is and crying about it to friggin access hollywood or whatever show. She could have lost custody of her kid and now he wants to be in her life? Ugh he better buy a clue. I don't blame her one bit for protecting her family. No one could ever do that to me and then be around my kids.

i don't think it's outrageous to be angry with your dad for cheating on your mom...? it's your business because it's your family, even if you're not in the marriage...

I can't answer that, because my father was never faithful. He is who he is, I don't hate him, I just don't think he is loyal as a partner ...

Angelina should grow the F**K up and think about her kids instead of just herself ... I am SURE they would LOVE to have grandparents in their life like most children ....

she might not hate her dad either... she might just think he's not a good influence on her or her kids...

yeah she will really regret it if he dies and they dont make up. shiloh, dont be mean, he is your grandaddy! you didnt even meet him yet so play nice and when you meet you can tell me what you think! hehe

Poor Jon!! Family is always first than anything, I hope if he died before her don't make all this "I'm so sad" a lo Tori.. so Sick!!

I think that your parents marriage is their marriage and that you should never get into their business, unless of course it becomes a violent marriage. Just think about it, would you like your parents getting inbetween your present relationship or marriage? Our would you like your kids chiming in your marriage?

Its a sticky situation, and feeling will get hurt if you get inbetween people's person relationships. She is 31. Get over it. I'm sure her dying mother has better things to care about than the fact that her husband cheated on her decades ago!

She needs to get over it. I have been estranged from my father for 15 years. If he would at least make an effort....I would take him up on it in a heartbeat. Grow up, Angie.

I think it's unfair of any of us to past negative comments on her dad unless we have walked in his shoes. Perhaps there was a reason why he cheated- maybe her mother was as stubborn as Angelina and tortured him every single day. He should have gotten a divorce, but he didn't want to lose his daughter and maybe the mother siad, "If you leave me you'll never see your two kids again" .... We don't know the bottom line details, but people cheat for a reason .... There is a weak link, someone is not happy and the other refuses to acknowledge that. Like I said, my father was a BIG cheater and today I see why- my mother drove him nuts.

Remember, there is always 3 sides to every story: His, Hers and the TRUTH ... My spelling is GOD AWFUL today ... haaa !!!!

I don't really care how AJ and Brad got together anymore, that's all played out, besides there were 'people' on the set saying they were all googly and touchy feely on the set of their mr.and mrs.smith movie, Jen was 'told' and went to see it for herself, but hey, Naaaaaaaa that wasn't the icing on the cake for divorce road.........
EEEWWWWWWWW THAT'S her dad?? That dude has always given me the creeps, ugh! How could something so pretty come from him!? Who is her mom?
If I adopted children and my family didn't accept them., well 'tata', what a jerk*

quit picking on my mommy...bwwwahhhhhhh!!!!

without getting into details, my parents broke up 15 years ago and i haven't spoken to my dad more than 5 times since then, if that. i've tried to reconcile, my sister doesn't want to, but either way, i don't think there's a right or wrong in that situation...

if someone hurts you to the point where you can't have them in your life without major drama, then i don't think there's anything wrong with protecting yourself from an emotionally abusive person...

MyOpinion, her mother's nameis MarchelineBertrand and she's beautiful. Here' an old pic of her and Jon Voight. http://www.volny.cz/sway/Pictures/rodice.jpg

i love how shes the good will ambassodor and cant have goodwill with her father. people make mistakes move on.

goodgirl -

interesting. my father, the pious religious man that he is, cheated on my mother left + right + had the class to bring home the other women while my mother was in the other room, taking care of my brother + me. his infidelity was just another slap in the face to her-- he's hurt her in dozens of other ways. him cheating on her wasn't any great blow to their marriage, simply because their relationship is a farce-- always has been, always will be. they have no business being together + only got married cuz they had a kid. what a waste.

goodgirl that was well stated. im gonna have to say that it should stay in the marriage that is between those two. if he harmed angelina than that is one thing but if it just him cheating i dont see how you could stay away from your father and keep your children from him. then again im def. a daddy's girl so i may be biased.

shiloh baby dont cry your mommy loves you...it will be ok.

shiloh baby dont cry your mommy loves you...it will be ok.

I'm with you Sweetcaroline !

there has got to be more to it than "he cheated on my mom". angie, grow up. crap happens, it's not your business and life goes on. sweet caroline, i agree. how can she hope to be a goodwill ambassodor when she can't forgive her dad and move on? it's not like she's completely innocent either, why is she holding such a grudge?

she looks pretty happy in the photo..

Thanks caligirl1201, yep, she definately gets her looks from her mom!!! She looks NOTHING like that man!

awwwww I'm sorry lil Shiloh punkin' ....hey, your mom's gorgeous! And gave a load of money to the poor!

aaron~whoa! now THAT'S some drama, sorry to hear all that you went thru., it SUX!!! did you say he was religious?

My dad was similar to yours aaron, and my mom left him, took us with her, when i was like 5, I didn't see him my whole life, then in 2002 I took the initiative to 'get to know him', for closures sake, (to me) and I just adored him, besides I'm not his judge....anyway, I only had 2 years with him, he died in '04 anyway my point is that people change*

Angelina's mother is beautiful. She looks so mellow and, earthy ...

so am i sweet caroline. ain't that the truth.

I think he's doing this because this is possibly the only way she'll "hear" him. If she won't see him or speak to him, the public media will make sure she does.

I hope they reconcile before it's too late.

My Opinion -

yeah, he's very religious. and a huge loser.

What goes around comes around, that's all I'm going to say...

Yeah!!!!! Good luck with that Jon...You idiot.

dare I ask 'what' religion he is? because if it's the same God i believe in, then he's committed one of the 'ultimate sins'...anyway not tryin' to turn this into a religious debate, just sayin' alot of people hide behind the word 'religious' to get away with things, can't get any more pathetic than that!!!
It's sad how ya'll don't click or whatever....but I know stuff like that does hurt., me and my older sister were laying on our couch when we were 4 and 5 and our dad was in a sleeping bag in the living room floor with some red head and my older sis took a sewing needle and walked up to that woman and stuck it right in her thigh, all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!! now to me, that was the funniest thing ever...then my mom came in from work and saw her going after my sister and well, my mom showed her a good southern a** kickin'.

oh and she knocked my dad out by hitting him in the side of his head, then she got all of us and we never looked back* well I did in 2002..

I've always wondered if there were more to this story than we hear. Maybe she has a good reason for keeping him out of her life and away for her kids?

Regardless, I don't believe for one second he has NO way to reach her. He goes through the press to try to guilt her into seeing him.

i saw a bumper sticker that read "If you think going to church makes you a Christian, does going to the garage make you a car?"

wow, what a memory for a preschooler. good for your sister, sholuds poked daddy too.

i think you should've stabbed your dad in the leg.

anyway, my old man is a jehovah's witness, so he believes in the christian god.

My ex husband has not seen my daughter for 15 years. We split for various reasons...him cheating was one of them...but there was no need to abandon her. All these years I have never told my daughter what an a@#hole he is but I am sure it has some effect on her and if he re-appeared and wanted to see her and the feeling was mutual I would support it. Regardless of what...he is still her father. Having said that, Angie should grow up. Life is too short to hold a grudge. I wonder if she will keep the kids away from Brad when they split.
