Ok so I wasn’t completely crazy. When I saw the video of Angelina and Brad being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and Angelina being less than gracious with his questions, I thought maybe I was just reading her actions wrong. I thought maybe she was just playing aloof or unaffected. Turns out, even the New York Times has found reason to comment on Ms. Jolie’s recent behavior. The New York Times has seen how the public support that Angelina briefly witnessed was beginning to sway. It’s what many are calling the ‘Angelina Backlash’. The article focuses on her recent interview where she called her biological daughter "a blob" continuing on to say she had less personality than her two adopted kids. The article delves in to how Angelina was said to be "a nightmare" during the recent Vogue photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz and on to comments made about Madonna and the adoption of her son David. Anyway you cut it, people are beginning to look beyond her role as World Humanitarian and more at how Ms. Jolie asks on a day to day basis. The article states “That shattered image, a lesson in the limits of spin, is the product of a lethal combination: a public that never bought into the reformed persona and a star who may have bought into it too much.” Of course, to be fair, and as the article states, much of what Angelina says is taken out of context in a certain sense. Due to media spin, we are only able to focus on the catchy sounds bites and not always the larger picture of what was said. However, obvious snide behavior seen on national television can not be denied. The girl has got something brewing. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out. Check out the article for a side of the story you may not have heard just yet.
