BELL'S PALSY, THE DISEASE THAT AFFECTED ANGELINA JOLIE AFTER HER DIVORCE
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were one of the most beloved couples in Hollywood. In 2016 they made their divorce official, and since then, they have faced several legal battles for the custody of their children.
In 2016, the news of the divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt shocked the entertainment world. For more than a decade they were together, and they stood out as one of the strongest couples in Hollywood.
The separation process has not been easy. The former golden couple has faced difficult times throughout this time. Brad Pitt, for example, acknowledged the chaos that has recently surrounded her and Angelina's personal lives, and has been honest in some international interviews about the medical problems she has suffered.
After the separation, the actress suffered from peripheral facial paralysis, also known as Bell's Palsy. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Angelina said: “I couldn't tell if it was because of the menopause or the year that she had. Sometimes women who have families put themselves last, until it shows up in their own health." According to her account, everything was due to the stress generated by the entire process of her divorce. That would be the reason why Angelina was away from the media for a while. That disease, which at first began with a small ailment, affected the movement of the muscles in her face.
As she recounted in that same interview, that experience helped her to worry more about her own well-being, rather than about other things. “I actually feel more like a woman now because I'm making smart decisions, and I'm putting my family before everything else, and I feel like I'm finally in control of my life and my health. And in my opinion that is what makes you a real woman, "said the protagonist of Maleficent.
