Why Angelina Jolie Had To Be Quarantined From Her Kids
Posted on Aug 30, 2011 @ 07:15AM
Angelina Jolie had to be quarantined from her children for two days when she fell ill with the flu.
The Oscar winning actress wrote the script for her directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey to help fight her boredom when her illness meant she had to be separated from the six kids she raises with partner Brad Pitt --Maddox, 10, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
She said: “I had the flu. I had to be quarantined from the children for two days. I was in the attic of a house in France. I was isolated, pacing. I don’t watch TV and I wasn’t reading anything. So I started writing. I went from the beginning to the end. I didn’t know any other way.”

Although Brad was supportive of Angelina's directorial debut, the actress admits her partner is biased because of their relationship and doesn't think he is a "fair judge".
She told the October issue of Vanity Fair magazine: "He’d come in and say what he liked or what he didn’t understand. Like any woman, I would listen to most of it and fight a few things. He’s been so supportive. But it’s hard to separate the person that loves you from the critic, so I don’t think he’s a fair judge."

If she wasn't around them then why purposely go around them and risk giving them all the flu? When I was sick my husband looked after the children. What's the big deal?

Duh people- she travels. A foreign flu strain may be much worse than our strains of it here in the US. Her dr probably told her she had to or make them sick too, so that's actually a good mom to not put them at risk.

What a load of xxxxx@xxxxx.com She wrote a screenplay from start to finish in two days while suffering from the flu? LOL! I hope ROL didn't pay for this "story." Trying to make her look good in contrast to the blind item about her courting Justin Theroux!

she is such a piece of crap. those kids are nothing to her except publicity and photo ops. i hope she rots in hell, which is where she probably wants to go anyway

WOW, so because she had the FLU she had to be quarantined? Seriously what MOTHER does that? Great parenting skills there. Put a mask on and take care of your kids, you don't stop being a parent just because you have the flu. Get over yourself.
