Angelina Jolie’s Dad Not Helping Anything!
August 29th, 2006
This is mostly sad, but a little but funny (in a sad sort of way!) …Jon Voigt (Angelina Jolie’s estranged Daddy) gave a well intentioned shout-out to his grandchildren at the Emmys, but called little Zahara the famous Latin singing sensation Shakira by accident. Oh well. Life goes on.
The following text is all from the US Magazine website.
Voight: “Maddox just had a birthday. Happy birthday, Maddox! 5 years old – it’s a big one! You’re getting to be a young man, and I send my love to you. And send my love to…uh…Shakira…and…Shahira… [To reporter] Is it Shakira or Shahira?”
Reporter: “Zahara.”
Voight: “Shahara! Shahara!”
Oh well.

All Children count, adopted or natural!
2. What????? | August 29th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
What do you mean, “adopted children don’t count anyway”???????????????? I’m REALLY hoping that you just cut and pasted what caption was posted from another website and it is not what you actually think. Please post a response because you are gonna tick off a lot of people!

WHOA… my son is adopted!! I am highly offended by that comment. Where did it come from??????????????? It is extremely offensive and in no way funny.
4. Susan | August 29th, 2006 at 11:11 pm
Here is the source: http://www.usmagazine.com/blog/index.php
The offensive comment about adopted children is in the us magazine text not from the fingers of our dear web mistress.

WHAT!?!?!?
WHAT?!?!?!?
“This isn’t likely to have Angie climbing out of her Range Rover and into his arms anytime soon, but Voight shouldn’t feel too bad. Everyone knows adopted children don’t count anyway.”
I’m speechless…
6. KellyMay | August 30th, 2006 at 12:04 am
Jon Voight is an ass!!!!
7. braydie | August 30th, 2006 at 12:25 am
I also have 3 adopted sons and what he said was stupid. all children count …maybe thats why angelina is so messed up, having a father like this.
8. gemma | August 30th, 2006 at 8:09 am
Every child counts in every way. what a ridiculous thing to say. The person that said adopted children don’t count needs a reality check.
9. kelley | August 30th, 2006 at 8:29 am
Maybe if he would quit openging that trap of his he could quit pissing off his daughter. What a ding dong!
10. KellyMay | August 30th, 2006 at 10:21 am
Our web mistress edited her post. It used to say what I quoted about.
11. Lisa | August 30th, 2006 at 10:26 am
loser
12. Kristin | August 30th, 2006 at 11:40 am
what do you expect, he’s not even allowed near the children, and then she will be all pissed off not knowing them
13. babyhates | August 30th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
He’s not allowed near her or her children because of stuff like this ! PLEASE everyone in the world know’s these 3 kids names !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s an a-hole and he should shut up from now on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also adopted children COUNT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
14. carleigh | August 30th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
WOW, that’s harsh! Jon Voight is an over opinionated a-hole! This is just another prime example of WHY Angelina cut him out of her life and won’t let him near her kids!
15. TEAM ANISTON | August 30th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
Did he actually say that adopted children don’t count? I don’t get nor can I read where that was said, everyone is just flying off the handle! Did he say anything about his biological grand-daughter Shiloh? He better cuz than that would be bullshit!
16. KellyMay | August 31st, 2006 at 7:12 am
Team A, originally the post had the statement I quoted above. It was sourced back to US magazine, here’s the link

17. kelley | August 31st, 2006 at 8:33 am
Did john say the part about adoption or did the interviewer add it at the end? I couldn’t really tell. I also had thought that maybe the writer was making a smart ass remark and didnt actually mean to offend?
18. Susan | August 31st, 2006 at 2:01 pm
Kelly, I think that you are right…I’d say that the writer was being ironic.
19. TEAM ANISTON | August 31st, 2006 at 10:09 pm
Oh Okay so it was the REPORTER who said that adopted kids don’t count. So why is everyone mad at Jon? Maybe he is just old and can’t remember what he had for breakfast let alone names of kids that his daughter won’t even let him see? He didn’t say adopted kids thing. Hhhuuummm something to ponder.
Have a good night you guys.
:)
20. kelley | September 1st, 2006 at 8:12 am
Personally I think the fact that he can’t remember Zahara’s name is pretty insulting. Only because he is constantly in the press begging Angie to call him, and going on and on about how much he loves her children (even though he has only met Maddox that we know of) and then he can’t remember the childs name. Maybe he was plastered.

“So why is everyone mad at Jon? Maybe he is just old and can’t remember what he had for breakfast let alone names of kids that his daughter won’t even let him see?”
Team A that made me laugh but it’s kind of sad, she’s lived an interesting life! Anyone know her beef with Dad I know he said once she needed mental help but he obviously said that for a reason, or is it just over her life choices?!?
She is an odd duck but that is her Dad too.
I think the point that almost everyone in the world knows the name of those children, shocking he doesn’t! I can’t watch the video, does he mention Shiloh?

Angies parents did not provide a loving stable home environment for her according to what I’ve read. JV has always seemed a bit self-absorbed and no wonder she is out there
23. braydie | September 2nd, 2006 at 1:55 am
blood or adopted M and Z are his grandchildren same as Shiloh. Just becuz he isnt in there lives doesnt mean he shouldnt want to know about them…but this man doesnt even know Z’s name? J.V. is a man that is going to have no one in his life if he continues to be such a dick.
24. carleigh | September 3rd, 2006 at 3:27 pm
Maybe he and Tom Cruise should get together and compare public images over bowling! Idiots!
25. braydie | September 6th, 2006 at 2:26 am

28. dori | September 8th, 2006 at 4:11 pm
I can’t understand how Angelina can’t find a way to make peace in her family. He honestly means well, for a man who isn’t allowed to see his granschildren I’m not surprised he can’t remember their names. He so obviously wants to be a part of their livesHe was practically begging on public television. My heart goes out to him. I think Angelina is a cold hearted you know what. , not her dad. Give the guy a break!
29. Milly | September 9th, 2006 at 7:44 am
I think that he is ridiculous! All adopted children count. He should remeber his grand-childrens names because he is there grandfather even if he isnt allowed to see them. He seems to remeber all his scrips for his movies…then names should be simple espicially if they are your family.
30. Angie | September 9th, 2006 at 8:26 am
Hearing about this made me think back to when I was being difficult and my dad would intentionally mis-pronounce names of my friends to get my attention. Maybe NOT the best tactic for Jon to get Angie’s attention, but I think maybe he was going for something along those lines???
31. dori | September 10th, 2006 at 8:39 am
I don’t believe he ever said adopted children don’t count. Where exactly did you get that misinformation?
32. lali spellman | September 20th, 2006 at 5:17 am
Jon Voight needs to keep his mouth shut so no one will notice how stupid he really is.
33. nikki | October 7th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
omg John needs 2 learn his grand childrens names!
ever kid counts no matter what!and Shiloh is a cutie!!!!!!!!!!lol
34. nikki | October 7th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
