Angelina Jolie reveals that the stress of divorcing Brad Pitt led to Bell’s palsy and that she plans to leave Hollywood where she can no longer live freely.
Angelina Jolie is speaking candidly about her stressful divorce and “shallow” Hollywood.
While filming “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” in 2018, the actor said she noticed her voice had changed register since she’d filmed the first installment years prior.
“My body reacts very strongly to stress,” she told WSJ. Magazine in an interview published Tuesday. “My blood sugar goes up and down. I suddenly had Bell’s palsy six months before my divorce.”
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 after two years of marriage, but more than a decade as a couple. The split was messy, with stories circulating about Pitt’s alleged drunken rampage on a private jet and back-and-forth legal battles over custody of their six children. Pitt was investigated by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI and later cleared by both.
The pair agreed to settle their divorce privately but have battled in court over the partial sale of their Château Miraval property and winery in Provence, trading slights in filings available publicly.
