Actress, Angelina Jolie Opens Up On Divorce From Husband, Brad Pitt

Published

on

Superstar actress, Angelina Jolie has opened up on her divorce and lengthy custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt.

The 46-year-old Oscar-winning actress and humanitarian in an new interview with The Guardian’s Weekend magazine, said she feared for the safety of her “whole family” amid the divorce but “can’t speak about” details due to the ongoing legal situation (Pitt has denied allegations of physical abuse).

The Envoy for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child (UNCRC) who has written a new book focusing on the rights of minors — titled Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth — with Amnesty International and human rights lawyer Geraldine Van Bueren, also revealed in the interview that said her activism for children’s rights has been in part driven by her own experience.

Angelina said;

“I’ve met too many children who live with the effect of their rights being violated – displaced people, young rape victims. I couldn’t understand why they were still fighting for basic things that were their rights to begin with. It made me very angry. How are we going to solve anything if we’re not addressing that, right?

“Then I had an experience in the States with my own children and I thought… well, human rights, children’s rights.

“I remembered the rights of the child, and I took them out and looked at them and thought: well, these are for when you’re in a situation and you want to make sure there is support for the children in your life.

“Then I found out the US hadn’t ratified the rights of the child. One of the ways it affects children is their voice in court – a child in Europe would have a better chance of having a voice in court than a child in California. That said a lot to me about this country.

“I’m not the kind of person who makes decisions like the decisions I had to make lightly. It took a lot for me to be in a position where I felt I had to separate from the father of my children.

“You want to make sure there is support for the children in your life.”

Angelina Jolie opens up on divorce from Brad Pitt, says she feared for the safety of her

When asked whether she feared for her children rights too, the actress stated that there was “a lot I can’t say” due to the current “legal situation.” The reporter who pressed for more information, asked if she was hinting at her divorce and abuse allegations, to which she supposedly nodded her head in agreement.

When further questioned if she feared for the safety of her children during the marriage to Pitt, she nodded and responded:

“Yes, for my family. My whole family.”

Angelina who revealed that she is “realizing that sometimes you can survive things, but not know how to feel and live in the same way”, also said “it’s more about being open. I’m really trying to be open as a human being again”.

Admitting that she felt “broken” by her experiences, she also disclosed that she wanted her family to find a way to move forward, “including their dad.” She said;

“I want us to heal and be peaceful. We’ll always be a family.

“DNA Test Should Be Prerequisite Immediately A Child Is Born” – Do2dtun Advocates

Published

on

Media personality Do2dtun has advocated for DNA test to be done on children immediately they are born.

Taking to the micro-blogging platform, the OAP stated that the same way test is been carried out when a child is born, it should be the same with DNA.

He noted how people see DNA as scared because it is been seen as a borderline mishap for trust, but for him, it’s best to know in the beginning and now.

He added that conducting DNA helps produce one’s genetic information, health history and things one needs to look out for.

“I believe DNA shld be a prerequisite immediately a child is born. The same way they carry out test on a child when they are born. It shld be seamless. It is seen as sacred cos people see it as a borderline mishap for trust but It’s best to know in the beginning & now.

The moment it’s seen as a mechanism for trust then it defeats the purpose. It was not invented to test trust. Also it produces your genetic info, your health history & things you need to look out for for example if you have a family history of hypertension, it will tell you”.

Similarly, Yoruba actor, Rotimi Salami made a strong case for paternity fraud, advocating that it should be criminalized like rape.

He likened the pain and trauma a woman experiences when raped to that of a man when he finds out the child he has been raising another man’s child.

In another post, Rotimi Salami stated that someday we would all realize that not everyone whose DNA didn’t match cheated. He pointed out how the big business of exchanging kids at birth from hospitals is one angle many haven’t talked about. He also called for DNA to be done on mother’s as well as he stated that it is very important.

Meanwhile, veteran actor and filmmaker, Ugezu J Ugezu had kicked against the need for DNA. The actor had taken to his Instagram page to chastise men who have formed the habit of undergoing paternity tests before claiming a child.

He opined that DNA stuff is tearing many homes apart and destroying innocent children as any child born to an African man is an African man’s child.
