Angelina Jolie is, allegedly, doing everything that she can to gain sympathy in court even if it means risking her health.
According to National Enquirer, Angelina Jolie has been starving herself to gain custody of her six children. She and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt will face each other in court next month.
Angelina Jolie thinks her weight loss could make Brad Pitt more sympathetic
A source told the tabloid that Jolie losing weight could make Pitt more sympathetic towards his ex-wife. This way, he may agree to give Jolie full custody of their children.
“People are afraid Angie is spiting herself – by starving herself to come out the winner in the divorce,” the source said.
The actress refuses to eat anything
The Maleficent star has, allegedly, been refusing to eat any type of food in her self-imposed pity party. She also, allegedly, thinks that her ploy would pay off in the end.
“She’s surviving on handfuls of grains and nuts and avoiding full meals. She’s banking on Brad cratering when he sees her in such a sorry state and giving her anything she wants – but this is an extremely dangerous game,” the source said.
Angelina Jolie putting herself in danger
National Enquirer consulted with a doctor, who doesn’t treat Jolie in any way. Dr. Stuart Fischer said that starving oneself can be deadly.
“It can cause loss of heart muscle and irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening,” he said.
A source told the tabloid that Jolie has also started looking like a walking cadaver because she’s now down to just 99 pounds. The actress is also, allegedly, terrified that she may have ruined her career because of all the negative press surrounding her.
Dr. Gabriel Mirkin also weighed in on Jolie’s alleged weight loss and said that couldn’t be worse.
“It can impair her immunity and increase her risk for viral infection and developing COVID-19 – and all its dire consequences,” he said.
Rumors debunked
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. Jolie simply has a slender frame, but it isn’t true that she’s starving herself.
Jolie isn’t also trying to gain Pitt’s sympathy because she seems ready to face him in court.
This isn’t the first time that Jolie is rumored to be starving herself and losing weight drastically.
Did Brad Pitt’s ex-wife almost faint last year?
Last year, Now to Love also claimed that Jolie has been going on a scary hunger strike due to exhaustion and her busy schedule.
“All of this led to a terrifying collapse earlier that day. She mentioned that she felt faint and had to hang on to her assistant to save her from going down,” the source said.
However, Angelina Jolie didn’t faint last year. And she didn’t also go on a scary hunger strike then.
