Is anyone buying Angelina’s schtick?

Opens up about fighting with Bell's palsy - and surviving Brad, too

Angelina Jolie has yet more medical news: She was diagnosed last year with Bell’s palsy.

The rare condition, in which nerve damage causes half of one’s face to droop, is likely caused by a virus and usually resolves on its own, according to experts.

But in a cover story for the September issue of Vanity Fair (inset), Jolie hints the condition was caused by domestic stress — although she doesn’t blame Brad Pitt by name — and she claims she was cured by acupuncture.

The actress, director, humanitarian, UN envoy and mom of six also says she is fighting hypertension.

“Sometimes women in families put themselves last until it manifests itself in their own health,” Jolie, 42, told the mag, taking an oblique swipe at her estranged husband.

Save for the presumed army of nannies, tutors and household help, Jolie has been raising the couple’s six children alone since her very public split with Pitt last year.

During a private flight to LA, reportedly clashed furiously with the eldest child, Maddox, 15.

An anonymous phone call made to the authorities, and an investigation was ultimately closed without charges. Jolie filed for

five days after the fight, she’s seeking sole custody.

Yet throughout the interview timed to promote the new Netflix original she directed about Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge, “First They Killed My Father” — Jolie is excruciatingly careful not to explicitly blame, or even speak about, Pitt.

“They’ve been very brave,” says of their three adopted three biological kids. “They were very brave.”

When interviewer Evgenia Peretz probes a bit — “Brave when?” —

minces. “In times they needed to be.”

The mag notes, “Other statements are similarly cryptic.”

Here’s another such headscratcher: “We’re all just healing from the events that led to the [divorce] filing . . . They’re not healing from divorce. They’re healing from some . . . from life, from things in life.”

Asked if she was surprised by Pitt’s mea culpa in the May issue of GQ Style, in which he admitted he’d had to quit drinking and that the split was “self-inflicted,” Jolie again chooses her words guardedly. “No,” she answered.

Asked if their communications have improved, Jolie paused before responding, “We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.”

The mag notes that anger and pain seem ready to bubble to the surface. But these days, for the sake of the kids, Jolie is keeping it all under wraps. “I was very worried about my mother, growing up—a lot,” Jolie says.

Jolie’s father. actor Jon Voight, left Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, early in the marriage.

“I do not want my children to be worried about me,” Jolie tells the magazine.

“I think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right, even when you’re not sure it is.”

Jolie’s latest medical reveals come two years after she told the world that she had her ovaries removed and four years after her double mastectomy.

Both procedures were preventative. Ovarian cancer runs in Jolie’s family, killing her mother at age 56.

In 2013, Jolie learned she carried the BRCA1 gene, a mutation that puts her at heightened risk of breast and ovarian cancers.

The ever-glamorous star poses in stunning photographs throughout the piece, wearing couture dresses, bright-red lipstick and plunging necklines — even as she declares the idea that she could remain a sex symbol “laughable.”

Still, “I actually feel more of a woman because I feel like I’m being smart about my choices, and I’m putting my family first, and I’m in charge of my life and my health,” she said.

“I think that’s what makes a woman complete.”
