100 lbs. and shrinking! Inside ANGELINA JOLIE’S secret health crisis.
100 Lbs. & Shrinking Angelina Jolie’s weight plummets as her messy custody war with Brad Pitt continues to rage on
She’s long been considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. But in recent weeks, Angelina Jolie’s appearance has stunned colleagues for the wrong reason. “The cast and crew on the set of Maleficent 2 were shocked by her frail appearance,” reveals an insider. “Costumes hide a lot, but when she’s wearing her own clothes, it’s very disturbing.”
Sadly, Angelina is facing a major health crisis. Life & Style has exclusively learned that the 5-foot-7 actress has dropped to a startling 100 pounds amid the stress of her ongoing divorce from Brad Pitt. “She’s scarily thin. Her face is more gaunt than I’ve ever seen it, her bones are visible and clothes just hang on her,” says the insider. “She has everyone concerned — her family, her team, they’re all worried. It’s clear her health is deteriorating.”
DARK DAYS
The sad truth: Angie, 43, isn’t eating. Angelina, who reportedly suffered from anorexia as a teen, is someone whose weight “fluctuates with her moods,” explains the insider, and right now “she’s devastated over her family being divided and
torn apart, and that’s why she’s barely eating. In fact, she needs to be reminded to eat.”
It’s been nearly two years since she left Brad, 54, filed for divorce and demanded sole custody of their six kids. But they’re still engaged in a bitter battle over Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10. In May, a judge ordered the actress to help improve the children’s relationships with Brad — or risk losing custody herself (see box). “She’s been having second thoughts about how she’s handled her divorce,” says the insider of Angie, who, right after the split, was known to cancel visits between Brad and the children at the last minute. “The kids are lonely for their father, and Brad’s lonely for them. Everyone, including Angelina, has been left traumatized by the divorce.”
TIME TO HEAL
She’s let her health deteriorate during stressful times before. “When her mother was dying [of ovarian cancer in 2007], Angie would go days without eating,” says the insider. In more recent years, Angelina’s been wildly proactive about her health, even undergoing an elective double mastectomy in 2013 followed by surgery to remove most of her reproductive organs in 2015 in the wake of her BRCA1 cancer gene diagnosis. Now that her health is in jeopardy again, friends want her to act. “She desperately needs to get her weight under control,” says the insider. “Her weight has plummeted to an all-time low — she literally weighs about 100 pounds, if that.”
