Angelina Jolie's kids still keep in touch with Brad Pitt's parents despite the rumors says otherwise. Daily Mail was reporting that Brad Pitt's parents have not been able to see their beloved grandchildren for around eight years.
A source tells PEOPLE, "Angelina has not blocked any communications or relationships; rather she encourages them to be in touch with their grandparents."
"The kids send cards and gifts to their grandparents every year for their birthdays and Christmas".
Brad Pitt is required to disclose documents in Angelina Jolie's favour, allegedly related to domestic violence claims against him by Jolie and their children.
Jolie’s attorney Paul Murphy told Us in a statement, “We are gratified that the court ruled in Angelina’s favor. After Mr. Pitt fought for years to hide this crucial evidence, he must now produce documents and communications concerning abuse, lies to authorities, and years of cover-up. His actions harmed Angelina and their children and are central to this case.”
“I want to again emphasize that Angelina never wanted any of this. She never pressed charges, she left all their properties, and she is the one who tried to sell him the business in the first place. To this day, Mr. Pitt has never been held accountable for his actions and has at all times controlled Miraval and the winery, yet he still demands more.”
“She wants this to end, the children want this to end, and Mr. Pitt should focus on healing their family, not pursuing lawsuits. If he does not, Angelina will defend herself in court by presenting the evidence necessary to demonstrate that Pitt’s allegations are demonstrably false.”
Angelina Jolie revealed to filmmaker Pablo Larraín that she is short sighted. When she was young, she wore glasses and she had laser surgery after that because she didn't want to wear glasses.
She admits that she has trouble seeing people across the stage or reading things. In this way, this is similar to opera singer Maria Callas, where Maria couldn't see things like the conductor or director of the orchestra.
Jolie shared her difficulties, "So I have this slight understanding of how [Maria Callas] felt; I think it puts you in a place where you’re a little bit more isolated. You’re not sure of the expression of the person across the room, you’re not sure of the world around you in the same way that someone who can see perfectly can. And I think that made her more isolated, more private, more misunderstood, I think also, obviously, more vulnerable. It also made me feel sad for her, thinking about when she was little and going to the conservatory and her mother was putting so much pressure on her; I realized that she had to be amazing no matter what. She had to become an opera singer, she had no other choice… that made me respect her even more."
Pablo Larraín then asked another question, "I know I have short hair and a beard (laughs), but let's do an imaginary exercise. Please imagine that I get up from my seat, I leave, Maria comes in and sits in my place. What would you have said to her if you had some time with her?".
Jolie replied, "I think I would tell her that I really like her as a person and that I care about her. Then I would probably tell her that we could go out all night and just be two girls having a good time, relaxing and not taking everything so seriously. Yeah, I think we would have been really good for each other...".
