Hollywood stars are opening up about their complicated relationships with their parents.
Stars like Angelina Jolie and Tori Spelling are two of many celebrities who have had public falling-outs with their parents. While some have been able to reconcile with their mother or father, others have decided to cut ties permanently.
Here's a look at a few stars who've spoken out about their fractured relationships with their parents.
Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie and her father, Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight, have always had a turbulent relationship. Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and Voight divorced when Jolie was 5 years old, leaving Bertrand to raise Jolie and her brother, Jamie, on her own.
Jolie remained close with her mother, with Voight making sporadic appearances in her life. After a brief reconciliation while working together on "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," the two once again went their separate ways in 2002 when Voight told "Access Hollywood" that she needed help for her "mental problems." This especially angered Jolie as she felt it would interfere with the adoption of her son, Maddox.
"I don't want to make public the reasons for my bad relationship with my father," she said at the time. "I will only say that, like every child, [brother] Jamie and I would have loved to have had a warm and loving relationship with our dad. After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child."
The two reconciled in 2010 for a few years and then again in 2017 after Jolie's divorce from Brad Pitt. She told the "Awards Chatter" podcast at the time that she and Voight "have gotten to know each other, through grandchildren," and although they still run into bumps in the road sometimes, "through art [they've] been able to talk," calling it "the common language."
In 2019, Voight praised Jolie for being "a very invested mom," telling US Weekly that she provides her kids "love every second of their day."
