CLAIM: Angelina Jolie Addicted to Diet Pills

Truth rating: 0

Angelina Jolie has “sparked fears that she’s secretly addicted to diet pills,” alleges the National Enquirer, which claims the actress “has slipped to a near-skeletal 93 pounds.”

The supposed reason for the pill-popping?

“She’s burning the candle at both ends – juggling career demands with her humanitarian work and trying to keep up with her rambunctious kids,” explains an Enquirer “source,” adding, “Angie believes the pills give her energy to help her get through the day.”

The magazine alleges that Jolie first took pills while shooting a movie in 2007, then “reportedly used” a South African supplement called Hoodia to lose her pregnancy weight.

According to the story, Brad Pitt and Jolie’s friends fear “she’s become addicted” to the pills, and it’s supposedly become a constant source of tension as Jolie keeps up a hectic pace with work and family.

All of this would be alarming, except that it’s based on absolutely nothing.

There’s no actual evidence that Jolie is even using diet pills, much less dependent on them.

Not one of the tabloid’s “sources” can report seeing Jolie popping Hoodia or anything else, for that matter, besides typical pick-me-ups like coffee and candy.

Nor does the Enquirer provide a single photo of Jolie looking “skeletal” or even noticeably thinner than usual.

The magazine’s entire argument seems to be that Jolie is so busy, she must be a diet pill addict.

It implies that she can’t possibly be raising her kids and doing humanitarian and professional work without hazardous chemical assistance.

It’s both fact-free and insulting.

A source close to Jolie tells Gossip Cop the article is totally absurd and 100% false.

As in the past, the only conspicuous addiction seems to be the National Enquirer‘s dependence on sensational rumors.

    If Angelina Jolie is only “92 pounds” she would be a total stick with all her bones showing. The woman is 5’8″ tall. She’s thin but there is no way in heck she’s only 92 pounds. She has to weight at least 115. The National Enquires always seems to have sensational lies about every celebrity, especially the Jolie-Pitts. They are the ones who started the lies about the Jolie-Pitt twins having something wrong with them. (They picked the worse pictures to insist that the twins are “special” in some not good way.) That rag gets worse and worse every year. I remember a headline about Obama being secretly gay. So this rag is not to be believed.

    i can totally buy it that she weighs about 93 pounds like the article states. i remember years ago in a people article, sarah jessica parker commented about concerns regarding her weight (5’4 and 96 pounds) “i eat everything in sight” no way in hell does angie weigh 115 plus. she has never weighed that much in her entire life. i have seen multiple pics of veins that run all the way up her skeletal arms- health women don’t have that issue. angelina has always been a stick.

    I don’t believe for one minute that Brad is cheating on Angie. Why would he? They are total soul mates. No way could he find anyone more perfect for him. Also, it HAS happened to me before I got a divorce many years ago. At least if I am to be cheated on, let it be by someone as gorgeous and sweet as Brad!

    My 98 year old grandmother weighs 95 pounds and she is a little under 5 feet tall, and is just bones with skin over them at this point in her life. Sad, …..but if you are going to guess what someone weighs, make it a realistic guess! If Angie weighed only 92 or 93 pounds, a doctor would have her in hospital so fast. At that weight for her height of about 5 feet 8 inches, she would need a lot of medical care. Come on people, leave her alone! We should all look as good as she does..

    Obama..Imean Obumer is boney…gezzzzzz

    Exactly. 115 on a 5’8″ woman is still very thin but I have seen 93 pounds on women much shorter and, like you say, it is skin and bones. One would have to be no more than 5’2″ to have 93 pounds look anything other than completely alarming. Add to that all we know about Angelina–her busy, active lifestyle–and there is no way she weighs 93 pounds. She simply would not be well enough to keep up any sort of schedule at that weight. I prefer her heavier than she is now but she is not 93 pounds.

    Had to see what the “Cop” had to say because I saw this magazine at the checkout counter tonight. Last pictures of her were at the last awards show just last week and she looked great. I’m soooo glad you “cops” are on “patrol”.
