Roseanne Barr has just posted this on her blog to respond to Angelina Jolie’s father Jon Voight. Jon Voight responded to remarks that Roseanne had made regarding his daughter Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt. He said about Roseanne “I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind).”
And so Roseanne blogs:
Jon Voight’s words about me, where he totally blames the victim, as all right wingers always do:
“We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse”
“Confessed victims of child abuse”….like “confessed criminals, confessed rapists, and confessed child abusers and confessed murderers” this sick and twisted statement sits happily on the front page of EXTRA on line… I guess the people at EXTRA agree that children who are being abused should keep their mouths shut! “confessing” (telling the authorities) that you are abused makes you vile and evil!

I absolutely agree with Roseanne. I was shockingly appauled at Jon Voight’s comments and thought, no wonder angelina is estranged from him. Just because Roseanne likes to voice her opinion (which she is free to do) doesnt mean anybody should bring up child abuse and attempt to discredit a victim with it. That is the lowest of lows and anybody who would actually happily say something that personal in front of the entire world, woah… What a C*NT.
