Jon Voight Did All He Could For Angelina Jolie - PIC

I really appreciate Jon Voight’s efforts to reconcile with his kids - I mean, the guy’s got to be lonely. However, there are better ways to go about it. Here’s the latest attempt.

In the November issue of Marie Claire, Angelina Jolie’s brother, James Haven, spoke out about his relationship with his father, Jon Voight.

Haven says he dedicates himself to helping abandoned women and children due to his own scarred experience as a child. Of his famous father, Haven says, “I don’t want to constantly berate my father — I wish him well, and I hope he finds peace — but he put my mom through years of mental abuse.”

Voight couldn’t let it go, and had to respond:

“I find it very heartbreaking that my children want to paint a bad guy portrait of me. I feel it comes from their inability to let go of years of programmed anger from their mother, who understandably felt quite hurt when we divorced. In all truth, I tried to give him and their mother continuous love and support and large sums of money. God knows, for years I’ve tried to mend this relationship. Perhaps the trauma of their mother’s passing has made it worse.”

“I continuously send them my heart and love and am always available to them for whatever they may need from me.”

My favorite part is the “large sums of money”. Sure Jon, that’s going to fix the problem. Just throw some money at the brokenhearted children.
