It looks like Angelina Jolie has snubbed her father once again. Angelina Jolie and her father, Ray Donovan actor Jon Voight, have an estranged relationship that the public is fully aware of. Jolie first snubbed her father last year when she did not invite Jon Voight to her secret wedding to Brad Pitt. Later, we found out that Jon Voight did not even know about the wedding and that Angelina Jolie had kept it a secret from her own father.
This year, Jon Voight was spotted on Father’s Day, which was Sunday, June 21, and he was, once again, all alone. Jon Voight was seen hanging around in Los Aneles, California going to lunch by himself, while Jolie completely ignored her father and was nowhere to be found.
Last year, when Jon Voight found out that his daughter Angelina Jolie had not invited him to the wedding, he spoke with Good Morning Britain and revealed that despite their strained relationship, he had no hard feelings over the matter. He said, “You know what they are very happy. The kids must have had a wonderful time at the wedding, they all had their things to do and it must have been very beautiful so I’m very happy for them.”
Angelina Jolie has always been painted as catty and difficult to work with, and we can only imagine how her father must feel being ignored by his own daughter. Despite whatever troubles they have faced in their past, Jon Voight has made it known that he does not harbor any negative feelings to Jolie, and has even defended her when she did not win an Oscar, which he felt she deserved.
So where was Angelina Jolie on Father’s Day? Daily Mail UK reports that on Saturday, June 20, Angelina Jolie was speaking at a press conference in Mardin, Turkey to discuss the the wrongdoings going on at a Syrian refugee camp. Jolie, who serves as a United Nations High Commissioner for refugees, made it known that the treatment of these refugees was inhuman and that more needs to be done to “help the people flooding into Europe.”
What do you think? Does Angelina Jolie get a pass since she was doing something good, or should she stil have made time for her father Jon Voight on Father’s Day? Let us know in the comments below.
