There have been so many rumors surrounding Angelina Jolie’s health.
Last year, Now to Love claimed that Angelina Jolie was refusing to eat. And the last full meal that she had was 34 days before the article was published. It was, according to the tabloid, during her trip to Mexico with her kids.
Angelina Jolie allegedly on hunger strike
The tabloid claimed that Jolie’s slim figure means that she’s suffering from an eating disorder. They also said the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil actress was on a hunger strike.
Jolie’s staff was, allegedly, so concerned about her health that they took her to the hospital. And she tried to appease them by eating a bit more than usual before going back to her old habits.
“Ange is putting herself in real danger of bone disease and even organ failure if she carries on like this. She simply cannot carry on like this,” the unnamed source said, as per Now to Love.
Rumors debunked
One year has passed since the tabloid published its dubious claim about Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, and Jolie is still doing well. There are no reports that she suffered from an eating disorder or that she is refusing to eat.
As such, one should take the claims made by the tabloid with a grain of salt. Jolie is perfectly healthy. And if she has any health issue, the reports won’t come from unnamed sources or unreliable tabloids.
Angelina Jolie opens up about Brad Pitt divorce
Rather, it would come straight from Jolie or her rep. The Unbroken director has always been open about her life and her struggles. She recently talked about her divorce from Pitt during an interview with Vogue.
Jolie said that her decision to divorce the Ad Astra actor was the right one for her and her family. After all, she was focused on her family’s well-being when she made a difficult decision.
The actress not refusing to eat
Last year, the same tabloid also spread another false claim about Jolie and her health. After her appearance at the premiere for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the tabloid claimed that the actress’ busy schedule has made it difficult for her to eat healthily.
There was a time when the mom of six, allegedly, told her staff that she was feeling faint. And she, allegedly, had to hang on to one of her staff to prevent herself from falling.
“Apparently, Ange refused to eat, even after the scare, so everyone was on tenterhooks. Ange is obsessed with staying thin and eating as little as possible as a way of maintaining control. It’s like she’s hunger-striking just to prove to herself that she can,” the source said.
However, there are also no concrete pieces of evidence that can confirm that these hearsays are correct as of this writing. Angelina Jolie is perfectly fine and healthy.
