Despite paparazzi up on the rooftops and horrible, scary rumors of paparazzi renting helicopters in a desperate attempt to capture the first photos of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt on the sly, all the people behind the cameras were foiled. Angelina Jolie, Knox, and Vivienne were discharged from the Lenval hospital and arrived home safely.
Well thank goodness for that, because thoughts of paparazzi chasing down a helicopter departure immediately reminded me of Princess Di being chased for a photo op right before she died.
The family – and presumably Brad Pitt was with them – left in the dark hours, heading out at about 4 am on Saturday morning. Rather than leaving in a helicopter, which was how she arrived, she slipped out by car. According to People, an observer said, “We saw the cars and we thought it was her but we didn’t see anything.”
That’s so wonderful to know that they were able to leave quietly. My theory was that they would slip her down to the emergency room and transport them out by ambulance. The idea would be that no one would think it was Angelina or the Jolie-Pitt twins, that it would just look like an ambulance heading out on an emergency call.
They did, however, elude the press by slipping out the back way. You can read the full story of their well-organized departure here.
Dr. Sussmann, Angelina’s doctor was the one who broke the news to the disappointed paparazzi, saying, “You can go home. The story is over.”
What a relief to know that Angelina Jolie, Knox, and Vivienne are safely at home at their chateau.

OF COURSE BRAD WAS THERE TO PICK UP HER LOVELY HONEY AND THE BABIES. HE IS A VERY PROUD FATHER. BESIDE GRANDPA AND GRANDMA PITT AND UNCLE JAMES ARE BABYSITTING THE REST OF THE JOLIE-PITT KIDS. I CAN;T WAIT TO SEE THE BABIES. I LOVE THE JOLIE PITT FAMILY. GOD BLESS THEM.
The paparazzi seem to never learn. I am glad they made it home safely.
i can already imagine the JP family having a welcome party right now.:)
sarahc you are so right. But thank God all went well and they are home all together.
It´s sure they feel more comfortable being at home. Congratulations to the wonderful couple.
ligaya, you cannot claim the title of moderation queen ( :-)) ) – that´s me!! My posts are ALWAYS and without fail under moderation. I have not gotten through normally for weeks!!
I really would not mind handing that title over to you, though….. ha!ha!
Too sad they had to steal away in the middle of the night. Testimony to our times, I guess.
Mary Ann, I answered your comment in the “everyone has something to say” thread – about being Moderation Queen (insert irony emoticon) & being an entertainment writer.
Naturally ;-), I’m under mod. Ha ha ha! That’s 2 out of 7 or 8.
good for them for outwitting the paps and gl to them to keeping pap helicopters away from their home and off their property! wouldn’t it be great if celebs like brad and angelina could some how make the obtrusive media pay for the extra security they are forced to hire! Their kids are very blessed to have the family they do but what a shame they will never be able to enjoy liitle league or pee-wee football,soccer etc.!!
I was glad to hear that they made it home safe. I’m sure the other little ones were so glad to see Mom back home that morning. I had read somewhere that Brad’s parents had flown in. This must be a really special time for them all. I hope Angie invites her Dad to enjoy in this celebration too. Family needs to be together. The children deserve all their grandparents around them.
OOPS!!! SORRY!!! Don’t know how that happened! :-(
I am SO happy they were able to get out unnoticed.
One thing that’s been striking me about the life of mega stars like Brad and Angelina lately: The way they live is a bit like the chase scenes they film in the movies ! Like in the movies they make, in their real lives they constantly have to be on the lookout for ‘the bad guys’ (the paps) and make frantic wild escapes to elude them.
The level of adrenaline must be pretty high — and very much like what we see in the movies.
Obviously it must be a major drag. Actually, the media attention surrounding Brad, Angelina and the kids has probably reached the highest proportions around any celebrity, ever, on such a constant basis that is. It must be very freaky for them.
I feel happy & relieved that the paparazzi were outwitted – preventing what could possibly have been a tragedy.
ABC4.com reports that Brad was part of the group.
While browsing rag mag covers in the grocery check out line I spied a picture of Shi on a cover that morphed into a sort of Jon Benet Ramsey via photoshop. It was sickening. Shame, shame shame. Anyway, glad they were able to stick it to the paps. Yay!
I’m so glad they’ve got to go home. It’s probably so much better for them all right now i bet they’re all feeling really happy and exhausted! Love them all.
