    I'd love to know the source for this, a google search says it originally came from an unofficial biography that claimed to have access to her school and medical records.

    Releasing medical/school records of minors is absolutely illegal. A shocking abuse of power if someone did release those records.

    A lot of mental illnesses like BPD (which Jolie has also been Internet-diagnosed with) develop due to abuse and unstable living conditions. What a shame her care-givers chose to sell a child with mental health problems out to the media rather than help her access suitable treatment.

    It's amazing really that she's managed to go on to build a successful career, be a loving mother, and do so much good for various charities.

    Though she appears to be doing the same, airing her grievances in public, which will affect those kids as much as she was affected by anything, if not more.

    How ridiculous.

    She filed for divorce, in order to protect her children.

    She has said very little about why. Nearly everything in the media is unsourced gossip or speculation.

    That is not "abuse".

    Hardly comparable to releasing a child's medical records, or exposing a minor to a sexual predator.

    She said it was 'for the health of the family' which was always going to be a magnet for media interest. If she'd kept that quiet, or done what Pitt wanted and sorted it all out between themselves before going public there's a chance the kids wouldn't be under sustained scrutiny from now till whenever they do sort it out. It's not as if they aren't often in different places, one of them plus kids in one country and the other somewhere else, which wouldn't get the media going and kept it under wraps longer.

    Some people think that this blind might be about the lovely Brad.

    Sounds like typical Hollywood Babylon BS to me. Like something like that would happen in this day & age and not be uncovered! At the v least an actor would face blacklisting as rumours swept Hollywood. I smell BS

    When she was a teenager, the school psychotherapist described her as "inclined to antisocial psychopathy".

    Really? Sure that's not just that Lisa character she played in Girl, Interrupted? Sounds pretty doubtful to me.

    She did have a lot of well-documented issues when younger though,it's true, when first in the public eye. But I thought more emotional ups and downs and/self harming (as well as attention seeking) type issues than anything like 'antisocial psychopathy' which'd be the opposite. And her dad was a right sh*t by all accounts.

    I think she's mad as a hatter. Have thought this for the past 20 years and nothing I've read has changed my mind.

    Agreed, I bet that she is like a porn star in bed,and a nightmare out of bed.
    When she is getting her man,she probably makes them feel like the centre of the universe,once captured,all the loony stuff comes out.
    Add millions of dollars to the equation and her snowflake sensitivity and hipster habits know no bounds.
    I bet those kids are completely out of control and any attempts to discipline them are seen as "abuse" etc

    Also, would someone who seems to have a lot of empathy with people worse off than herself really have psychopathic tendencies? I thought they were the complete opposite to that.

    Yeah it reads like the biggest pile of shite ever. I'm sure half these so called blinds are made up.

    Yeah, they are. Cannot empathise or 'get' human emotions properly, a lack of fear of consequences, no fear of shaming etc. I wouldn't say she strikes me as someone with that issue at all, quite the opposite, (Donald Trump on the other hand...) She's always seemed quite an intense & emotional person to me and did the sort of dark 'rock n roll I'm-so-f*cked-up' type lifestyle when younger (all the knives etc). That sort of thing doesn''t tend to come out of psychopathy, unhappiness, yes. Which is presumably partly why she does a lot of the humanitarian stuff she does these days.

    Anyway, get a load of us all. Armchair Psychiatry 101.

    I was told something similar when I was a teen. I'm not mad as a hatter.

    Not surprised by the agreement. If you took a step back and looked at this situation when the news first broke it was obvious there wasn't going to be some big scandalous fight over the kids etc. It's easy for people to get swept up with the gossip from the tabloids but it actually just seems like she's doing what's best for her and the kids.

    Of course but like Amber Heard she is pretty and therefore a succubus whose only intention is to destroy the man.

    Reading comments on both those situations have made me realise why women are still not equally represented with men in governments and boardrooms its because they tear each other down and the standards are set so such higher than those for poor men.

    I can't believe the amount of vitriol spewed about those two and the comments about the poor men.
    If depp had the bruises and angelina was the drunk one on the Tarmac being investigated for treatment if her son, people would have reacted differently.

    Agree on all accounts. Jolie is an accomplished woman in her own right and wasn't after money but she's still subjected to the same character assassination. It's a shame and can't see things ever changing in that regard.
