This Elle interview is a great look into Angie and Brad’s more intimate family life. It was written at the time she was filming A Mighty Heart. It’s grainy, but a it’s a must read. Of course, I think you should just buy the Elle copy, but if you’re too lazy (or more likely too impatient), you can read it page by page below. (via)

Angelina Jolie Interview In Elle
Friday, January 5, 2007 - 5:28 pm ET

It’s most likely taken out of context. Think about it.

I don’t believe this fabricating articles about AJ doesn’t care for Shiloh but more incline to give care towards Mad and zahara.. This is a mis-interpretation of her words plus I’ll always read her interview that she loves them equally and even want to have many kids…So there’s no distinction…

Did those of you screaming that Angelina said she does not love Shiloh as much as Mad and Z actually read the article? She said “I have to be really conscious that I meet Shiloh’s needs, just because I think the other two are more vulnerable. NO WHERE DID SHE SAY SHE DID NOT LOVE ALL THREE OF HER CHILDREN THE SAME.
She is realistically aware and rightfully worried that Mad and Z will face some harsh difficulties that Shiloh will not face no matter how much Angelina and Brad try to protect Mad and Z. People already say terrrible things about Mad and Z, a baby and a young child, on a number of blogs including racial slurs. Mad is said to be very smart and reads and writes as he has had a tutor since he was 3 years old, and I imagine he already hears things and asks his parents questions. Some of you just want to find fault with Angelina, but this crap about her not loving Shiloh is just bizarre and so stupid. You are probably the same group of people who said Shiloh would be loved more than Mad and Z before she was born.

Awwww, I see. The haters are coming out of their closet..calling Angie a bitch or that she doesn’t love her children equally because she saids those quote? We don’t even know who the interviewer name is, and when the interview took place. Doesn’t any question the validity of this interview? And if she saids those quotes, you can’t measure or determine she loves Shiloh less than the other two. How many of you have been adopted or have adopted children to questions her love for her children?
When someone claimed to be a fan of Angie for a long time and than bitched about her love for her children for the 3 lines of the articles makes me lmao. They chose to focused on the 3 lines and not the whole articles, what a shame.

this things always only happen to angelina why doesnt more people question cruise on the love for his adopted children he had been parading the belly then hid the baby now he cant stop parading that baby or the other actors who have bio and adopted children it is unfair she is the only one question why cant they worry more about whitney houston daughter britney spears kids, there are a lot of messed up celebrities on drugs having bio kids and no one worries about them lets jump on angie we cant make the news if we don rag on her how pathetic they are to do this to her

I’ve seen the cover photo as well as the ones with the article. I can say with 100% certainty that they are not new. More like 2 years old if not more. If you are going to have a new sit down article, there are new photos along with it. This is the same thing that Maxim did with their cover recently. The cover they used was three years old. Intelligent people know that quotes are taken out of context. Any way if you are a real fan you are able to read between the lines.

If they are that old then how is Shiloh mentioned?

The covershots are old and that’s verifiable but I’m not convinced the interview is fake. Some lean more towards the words being a compilation of various sitdowns, and it may be, but I’ve read everyone, and read everyone, and I’m not having trouble believing that this one is authentic. Personally, I think people want to call foul on it because they’re uncomfortable with the wording. I think it’s easier for some to shine it on as being a misrepresentation than to accept Angelinas way of communicating. I reiterate that as far as I’m concerned, she’s said nothing scandalous, or horrid and I’m sorry people can’t see that too. JMHO

I think Elle bought the interviews from the Indian’s media and cut and paste and made up some of the quotes themselves. It happened to an actress before from Elle UK and she sued them. I’m surprised, no one question the validity of this mag, and who is the interviewer.
Real fan of Angie would not questions her love for her kids because since she’s a mother all she talked about most is the love for her kids. How many times had she gone on records to say she loves them equally and how they are a joy to her life? I’m disappointed with these so-called fans of hers. They just wait for the right moments to attack her as a mother, the woman who value and love her kids more than her own life.

^^^make that….I’ve read each interview as it comes, and I’ve READ everyone of her interview except the obvious tabloid ones that claim this source, or that unamed person said this, that and the other. If you notice, the ELLE mag doesn’t refer to anyone without a name. Someone is asking, and only Angelina is answering. Maybe when someone actually gets their hands on the issue than can post the name of the interviewer. Usally they will have the photo and/or bio of the interviewer in the front of the mag.

I have admired Angelina for awhile now but found the comments she made in Elle regarding her children to be very disturbing. I hope that in the coming days,she will address these comments and either own up to them or clarify them. As a human being and a mother,I very much hope that these comments were taken out of context or false altogether. If she did ,in fact make such comments,I must say that I will lose alot of respect for her as a mother and human being. As fans,people should not be shocked,surprised or feel the need to “defend” her. She is a flawed person like the rest of us and those comments.of true make that quite obvious.

i dont think she said enything bad eather i told my sister about it and she agreed in no way she said she loves shiloh less

the real brangelina fans know how to comment on this interview.
we know angie. and we saw and heard her lively that she loves her kids all the same. remember the anderson cooper interview?
i agree with libra21 and dark faith.
as for the haters, please don’t say that you’re a fan if you call her names. these haters will always search for some weakness and nagative things on angie.
anyway, this doesn’t change the way i feel for angie and brad.

I believe one can support and be a “fan” but also be wise enough to know when this person makes a mistake or uses poor judgement. Many seem to want to create these people in our own image, one that would never say such things or feel such a way, yet we forget that like everyone else, actors have issues too. I have been somewhat puzzled my Angelina’s choices where Shiloh is concerned since the childs birth. It seemed ok to use her pictures to get donations for wonderful causes,yet since then the child is rarely seen out in public. I found this odd..when Brad and Angelina are pictured often doing things with Maddox and Zahara,Shiloh remains absent. True she is young but it’s ok to take her out and get her some fresh air too. As I recall,,Zahara was out and about in LA very shortly after her arrival in the US and she was in a much more fragile condition then a seemingly healthy Shiloh. It is odd.

by the way,
do you guys really think that elle will do that (manipulating the story)? i saw the scans, and those are indeed old photos of angie.
but i just couldn’t believe that a magazine like elle will do nasty stuff like that. is elle credible enuf as vogue mag?

Fascinating. Bits of that interview seem like they were taken out of the recent ‘in-depth’ interview that surfaced from the Philippine Inquirer, and even that to me was suspect because so much of her responses didn’t sound like Angelina at all. (I say this because I am familiar with the style of writing seen in Filipino publications. It just seemed to me that some of her answers sounded more like the interviewer’s interpretations of her words.)
Whether or not the Elle interview is legit it still amazes me that anyone can conclude from it that she doesn’t love her children equally. When she said she had ‘less inclination’ to feel for her (Shiloh)’ I read that to mean she didn’t feel for her in a sense that Shiloh didn’t have to endure the hardships that her siblings did. This is a fact but doesn’t imply that Angelina loves her less, and yes Shiloh will be treated differently by the media and the world no matter how much Brad and Angelina treat them equally. Also, there was another interview where Angelina mentions that it’s sweet that she sees Brad in Shiloh when she sometimes looks at her. Now I didn’t see anyone jumping all over that one and worrying that Madd and Z might read that one day and feel rejected. I’d like to think that this couple put as much thought into having a biological baby as much as they did into adopting one and they’ve considered all the issues ad scenarios.
At the very least that comment probably represents a few seconds in a wider conversation that will now, unfortunately, incite all manner of annimosity from those who are inclined to digest that sort of thing as real news. Sort of like commenting on a single celeb photo and believing it to convey the absolute truth about what that person is all about. Off course that’s why the tabloids make all that money.

well all this got me thinking to much about something so dumb i read the cards for them yes i do that i ask about that interview and yes its altered that interview it’s not right and oviously angelina doesnt know this has been done i asked about other things angelina and brad are not going to break up eny time soon in fact they will have another bio baby, if itseems angelina iven when she talks doesnt say too much about the kids or her love for brad if you notice angelina’s lips the upper one is smaller than the bottom one mine are like that too what that say of people like us is we are not exactly emotional people and we tend to hide our feelings and not openly express them too much also the not wanting to be hugged ask me when was the last time i let enyone hugged me i usually run away from people if they try but in the case of angelina she is extroverted and she is a gemminy and thins fly out of her mouth thats why people get confussed about her i am a virgo and i am introverted and ussualy shy my father is a gemminy dont worry about shiloh i asked the cards she is fine she loves that kid as much about my father loves my sisters and i equaly i read the cards for other people i am usually right about this things
