14 DAY TRIAL // Angelina Jolie has been keeping very busy with work, both in film and related to her humanitarian efforts, which means she’s been out of the spotlight for some time. According to the latest in Star Magazine, that’s also because she’s in hiding because of her eating disorder.
This week’s issue of the magazine brings yet another Brangelina divorce story, but there’s no cheating scandal this time. Instead, the usual unnamed insiders claim that Brad is threatening to walk out on his wife if she doesn’t go to rehab.
Angelina Jolie’s eating disorder is killing her
You can see this week’s cover in the photo attached: it claims Brad is worried sick about Angelina and urging her to seek help for her eating disorder, after she’s lost even more weight. It also says that he’s telling her she should “do it for the kids” and that he’ll walk out on her if she doesn’t.
Inside the magazine are more details, all sourced to unnamed spies.
Apparently, Angelina’s health has taken a turn for the worse and it’s all because she’s refusing to get help for her eating disorder. Star puts her weight at 83 pounds (37.6 kg), which, considering she’s medium height (5’ 6.5” / 169 cm), would be quite disastrous, if true.
So Brad is issuing ultimatums to make sure he gets her to get help.
“She’s always been thin, but it’s never been this bad before. She’s at an all-time low,” says one such spy. “He’s tried for months to help her, and Brad is at the end of his rope. He told her if she doesn’t check into rehab for her eating disorder, he’s leaving and taking the kids with him.”
Jolie’s weight, a tabloid fixture
Indeed, Angelina Jolie has always been thin, but reports about an eating disorder started around the time of her mother’s death in 2007.
Since then, they’ve been alternating with divorce and cheating rumors, and any other type of scandalous stories you can think of.
In other words, Jolie’s weight is as much of a tabloid fixture as the Jolie-Pitt-Jennifer Aniston triangle is, even after all these years.
Given Jolie’s many work commitments and her recent health issues (2 major surgeries to prevent cancer), it’s understandable how she would lose some weight. That said, the claim that she’s 83 pounds (37.6 kg) seems a gross exaggeration, so do take this report from Star with a huge grain of salt.
