14 DAY TRIAL // Whenever she’s photographed by the paparazzi with any of her 6 kids, actress Angelina Jolie is the picture-perfect mother. Behind closed doors though, she’s very different – and often loses her cool and lashes out at the children.
This is the story now running in the print issue of the National Enquirer (story via here). The tabloid not only claims that Jolie often yells at the “unruly” children, but also that she slapped Shiloh at least once, when she “acted up.”
According to the Enquirer, as hard as Angelina tries to keep it together, there are moments when her temper gets the best of her and, faced with demands from all sides, she loses her cool and lashes out.
As it happens, the children are those at the receiving end, the Enquirer says. On one occasion, Shiloh got Angelina so worked up that she slapped her a few times after she made sure no one was watching – and the Enquirer even claims to have “the shocking photos.”
“Angie’s nerves are frayed and she’s at her breaking point. Angie is trying to be the perfect mom who effortlessly juggles six kids, a hectic film schedule, humanitarian work and constant globe-trotting,” the usual unnamed source says for the tab.
“But it’s not easy. Behind closed doors, she can be very impatient and have a hair-trigger temper. Sometimes Angie snaps and unleashes a torrent of fury on the often unruly kids…” the spy adds.
Apparently, Shiloh was the one to experience her mother’s rage more recently, while in Paris. Shiloh was tired and wouldn’t stop “acting up,” so Angelina had to put her back in her place, the Enquirer claims.
“The usually carefree Shiloh was whiny and belligerent. A fed up Angie growled at her daughter, ‘Get it together – NOW.’ Angie wanted to make a picture perfect exit from the car, but Shiloh was being disagreeable,” says the same source for the tab.
Moreover, Angelina may have actually done more than just “growl” at Shiloh, the Enquirer suggests.
“A few minutes later as they came out of the van, Shiloh looked like she had been crying. She is the most sensitive of the kids, and she’s also daddy’s little girl. While Brad always coddles her, Angie is far more stern,” dishes the source.
For the record, this is not the first time that the Enquirer makes such outrageous and unfounded claims: in April this year, for instance, it ran a story saying that the Jolie-Pitt twins, Vivienne and Knox had Down Syndrome, as we also reported.
