Jon Voight Talking at Premiere
According to People.com, Jon Voight expressed his desire to reunite with his daughter, Angelina Jolie and the family last night at the You, Me and Dupree premiere in Los Angeles:
“I never saw Angie’s face more happy,” he said. “Deep, deep peace that never has been there before until this. Beautiful, beautiful look. Both Brad and Angie looked so happy.”
He added, “I haven’t seen Shiloh yet. I’m looking forward to it.”
Referring to Jolie, Voight said, “And no, we haven’t spoken. … I don’t, I didn’t have any communication with her.”
I know we have talked about Jon Voight and Angelina’s relationship until we are blue in the face - but what do you think now - is it time for Angelina to let her father back in to her life?

Angie has said if Jon want to reconcile he must not talk about it in public and he still won’t shut up.I truly feel that is karma has caught up to him and he now wants the public to feel sympathy for him and to put the pressure on Angie to reunite with him.She forgave him before and he screwed up,for her now there is more to loose she has children and she is thinking about them first.Who is to say if he comes back he won’t hurt her again plus her children and I know she would not be able to forgive herself if the kids grew up the way she did with so much pain.Even John can say its the most peaceful he has ever seen her,she has found peace and happiness in a man she says is solid you know you can count on him so why destroy it.Really what John needs to do is try reconcile with her privately, just keep reaching out to her and when she is totally ready she will find him and stop talking to the media that way she might start trusting him and beleive that he his sincere.Shutup she does not like when you talk to the media when are you gonna get it,you keep it up and you will never see her or those children.

Look,I love the Pitt clan but John was right,Ang did have some mental problems,maybe he thought if he voiced it loud enough for Ang to hear,she might get some help.Anyway,John is her father and he deserves a second chance.Now if he makes the same mistake twice thats a different story.I support him 100%.

Angie already gave her a second chance when she got him the gig in Lara Craft and he screwd her over again. Donating your sperm does not make you a dad, you have to earn it. He has been letting her down since she was a baby.
It is her choice whether she wants him in her life or not, and how com he did not go on this public campaign a year ago to see Mad and Zahara, so because they are adopted they were not worthy of his love.
I don’t think he knows his daughter very well. Angie’s mom in the only statement she made during Shiloh’s birth acknowledged how lucky Mad, Z and Shiloh are to have caring and loving parents in Brad and Angie. Voight is yet to publicly acknowledge Mad and Z, and I am sure until he does, Angie is not letting him back in her life. He should just shut up already.

You know it is odd that even on another website he was quoted as saying he had a gift for Shiloh. The thing that came to mind for me is “Doesn’t the man acknowledge that he has three grandchildren?” What is he thinking. I thought it was kind of messed up to publicly ignore Mad and Z like they didn’t even exist. Angelina knows her father and I’m sure that if “I” caught those statements, she did. She’s a great mother who loves all of her children equally.

My thoughts: He only wants the attention he gets asking about his granddaughter, he doesn’t actually care about Angelina or Brad, just their celebrity. Even if Angelina did have mental problems, which she self-admittedly had been cured of when she saw the conditions children like Maddox had to live under and learned to count her blessings and get over it. Why open yourself up to such hurt, Jon Voight is a grown adult, if he doesn’t know what to do to show that he cares about his daughter’s well-being and can’t express his concerns to her one on one, like in a letter instead of in public interviews for the whole world to see, well then good riddance. While Brad can win dad of the year award, Voight is unequivically worst father. Despite her dad’s selfishness and self-involement Angie was able to find her own happiness. I’m rooting for the two of them. . .don’t mess this up guys!!!! Get advice from Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

Angie’s problem with him, as I understand it, is that he continues to talk to the press about her and her children. He repeatedly makes the same mistake.
Until he learns to keep his trap shut, I don’t blame her for not allowing him back into her life. She and Brad have been careful to control their media exposure. Allowing him access to their lives is tantamount to giving him a megaphone.

I think Angie was already healthy by the time he came out and begged her to get mental help. Why didn’t he try to get her help when she was a teen and still cutting.. that was when she really needed help? He just wants some free publicity.
She has said in the past that he brings nothing but negativity in her life. So, no.. i don’t think she should let him back in her life. She seems happy without him.

i agree with you caralyn, the man doesnt acknowledge he has 3 grandchildren. he has only ever mentioned wanting to see his granddaughter. that to me would be enough not to let him back in her life. ii she did then he would mess up her whole picture of happiness she has worked hard to achieve.she doesnt need him in her life at all. i am sure she has a lot going on in her life that she doesnt have time for his shit. and the fact that he keeps talking publicly about all of this is even worse. as aj is very private i am sure she wouldnt appreciate it all. if he had been any kind of father to her all, then he would know his daughter and that she would not like what he is saying and doing. i really feel for aj becos if you hav issues or anger with someone you do carry it with you, and if he dies you still carry it. its only when things are resolved that the burden is trully lifted. talking from my own experience that is.

Yeah… i agree with most of you guys…. but i pity jon as an old man….well, he got what he deserves. all of this mess he got in his life won’t happen in the first place if he’s been a good dad for his kids.
if he wants to reconcile with angie, he should do it in private and not publicly (again). he should learn by his mistakes….

Ok this is going to be long.
John Voight has been on a effin press tour talking about how he wants to see shiloh, and talk to angie.He’s been on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight. Can’t the guy just keep his mouth shout? And the fact that in all those interviews he keeps talking about how he wants to see shiloh and never acknowledges mad or Z just irks me. He’s never seen them too so isn’t he “excited” to see them? And I don’t agree with the article saying that the reason angie doesn’t talk to him is because of JV’s cheating ways, it goes deeper than that, one reason’s probably going on a press tour on television shows proclaiming his daughter as crazy and needing help while she was in the process of adopting maddox, and whatever was in that letter that he sent her. He continues to hurt her whenever she allows hin back in her life, right now she doesn’t have just herself to think about she also has her children he said he doesn’t have any communication with her so I’m assuming angie told he brother and mom or anybody that jon might contact not to give him her number. Here’s an excerpt of angie talking about JV to Reader’s Digest.
RD: But you knew who your father was. You saw him sometimes.
AJ: Yeah, but I don’t necessarily think that’s better. I didn’t have a good relationship with my father. Growning up, I saw my mother very stressed, often, and crying a lot. I didn’t want that for my son. I believe the only people that should be around a child and raising a child are people who absolutely, 100 percent love that child.
RD: Your father said recently that he wants to reconcile and repair the damage he’s done. Are you interested?
AJ: No, no. I think it’s not something you tell the press; I think it’s something you do in your private life. Fortunately, I got to a place in my life where I realized that, no matter what he said, I was a good person, and a good friend, and I am a good person, and I am a good mother. And because I’m an adoptive mother, I don’t see blood as family. I see time and love-you earn it. You can’t just call yourself a father.
I don’t hate my father. I don’t blame him for divorcing my mother, or having affairs. He went off path. I don’t respect the way he treated my family as I was growing up. But we survived, and we’re a good family. I just don’t want to dedicate one more tear, or watch my mother cry one more time
And one more thing, before shiloh came into the picture I don’t recall JV going on entertainment shows talking about how he’d like to see maddox and zahara.
Who wants to bet that if he wins the emmy, he’s going to go of about angie and shi, make some sort of public declaration. I wouldn’t put it past him.

So I was looking around and I found this. I’m thinking whatever was in that letter made angie cut ties with Jv. And the fact that he went on t.v calling her crazy probably didn’t help either. Has JV ever even admitted that what he did was wrong?

Jolie ‘divorces’ dad
Twice-divorced Jolie - whose second Lara film The Cradle Of Life is released next week - said she had no regrets about severing her ties with him.
Oscar-winner Voight split from Jolie’s mother when she was only a year old. But the actress said that starring with him in Tomb Raider was a “bonding time”.
She said: “We seemed to understand each other and it was fun, but afterwards he returned quickly to old habits of being judgmental.”
In a TV interview last year Voight said she should seek help for “serious mental problems”. He later accompanied her to the airport as she flew off on a mission for the United Nations.
Jolie, 28, said: “He gave me a letter in the car and said ‘this is my truth, this is unchanging’. I was unaware of what he’d written and said, ‘That’s wonderful, I love you, see you later’.
“Then I opened the letter. He’d written I was a bad person. I was upset and thought of 100 replies, and then decided I don’t value this person’s opinion so it’s okay. I no longer see us as father and daughter.”
02/08/2002 09:22 - (SA)
Los Angeles - Two weeks after Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from husband Billy Bob Thornton, her father has revealed in a televised interview that she has split with him as well.
In a tearful appearance on the syndicated TV show Access Hollywood, actor Jon Voight said his daughter has “carried a lot of pain” for years, adding he was “broken-hearted … because I’ve been trying to reach my daughter and get her help, and I have failed and I’m sorry”.
Jolie responded with a brief statement acknowledging her estrangement from her father
And all this while she was going through the break up with Billy and she had a new child to take care of. I think it was a good idea to kick JV to the curb, for her own sanity.

Here’s what a friend from JJ said about JV and I agree
“JV is the kind who has never/ will never “no matter the relationship” admit and accept true responsibility for his part in anything. He will give lip service in a minute, and he will use others…..in this case, the court of public opinion…..if he can. For instance, he’s hoping IMO, that the world will see him as the denied grandpa “even if it makes Angelina Jolie look the baddie.”

Okay I’m done, as you can see the topic of JV gets me fired up.

Coming from a family of many trials myself and having witnessed many in similar positions, I would say the only thing better than forgiveness is boundaries. It is a good way to practice peace in one’s heart!

JV get’s me fired up also, he just talks because he wants to be in the spotlight. He thinks he has something to say and he knows NOTHING about his daughter or her family. Does anyone know if Angie’s brother get’s along with him? I hope Brad doesn’t think he can fix A’s relationship with her dad, when you have a dad like JV things will never be alright, he’s just too much to deal with with his mouth and A has too much to take care of without worring about her dads sorry A–.
