Angelina Jolie has sparked countless rumors that she’s not healthy simply because she has a slender frame.
Last week, National Enquirer claimed that Angelina Jolie went on a self-imposed pity-party to gain the sympathy of Brad Pitt in their ongoing custody battle.
Angelina Jolie weighs 99 pounds
A source told the tabloid that Jolie’s weight dropped to just 99 pounds. And they also published a photo of the actress looking as slender as ever.
The insider claimed to know very personal details about Jolie’s life, including what eats daily. They said that she just consumes grains and nuts every day.
National Enquirer asked the professional opinion of a doctor, who they regularly interview to weigh in on Jolie’s alleged health crisis. And the doctor said that Jolie is putting herself in grave danger by starving herself.
Rumors debunked
However, Gossip Cop busted both the tabloid and the unnamed doctor for commenting on the actress’s health. The publication said that the doctor is in no position to weigh in Jolie’s health because he has never treated the actress.
The rumor-debunking site also exposed the tabloid’s misleading tactic to include a line in their article saying that the doctor is not in any way involved with Jolie. Gossip Cop claimed that this was deliberately done to encourage readers to believe what they see in the tabloid.
Gossip Cop also confirmed that the photo of Jolie that was recently published by the tabloid was taken three years ago. This means that if Jolie was struggling with her weight then, she’s unlikely to be struggling with it now. However, the case in point is, Jolie never struggled with her weight.
Angelina Jolie passed out because she’s too frail
National Enquirer isn’t the only tabloid that’s been publishing dubious stories about Jolie’s health and weight. Earlier this year, Now to Love claimed that Angelina Jolie had been on a hunger strike because she’s seething over Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s reunion.
“Angelina can barely stand up without collapsing. She is always lightheaded. Her assistants rarely let her walk up anywhere by herself in case she keels over. It’s no surprise given what Angie eats – or doesn’t,” the source said.
Weeks later, the same tabloid claimed that Jolie is exhausted from being a single parent to her six children. As such, she always, allegedly, forgets to eat.
“She still has a destructive relationship with food. All of this led to a terrifying collapse earlier that day,” the source said.
However, Angelina Jolie is perfectly fine health-wise. And it is unlikely for her to be going on a hunger strike because of Pitt or any other reason for that matter.
