**Angelina Jolie Reignites Feud with Father Jon Voight Amid Free Speech Battle**

*Published September 29, 2025, 8:03 p.m. ET*

Angelina Jolie has reignited her long-running feud with her father, Jon Voight. Insiders told RadarOnline.com that the 50-year-old actress’s outspoken defense of free speech and her criticism of Donald Trump’s administration have escalated into an “all-out war” against his MAGA values.

Known for her left-wing political leanings and humanitarian activism, the Oscar winner recently spoke at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain while promoting her latest movie.

**Jolie’s Free Speech Stand Sparks Fury**

When asked about her fears as an artist and as an American, Jolie responded, “It’s a very difficult question… I love my country, but I don’t at this time recognise my country.” She added, “Anything, anywhere, that divides or, of course, limits personal expressions and freedoms and, from anyone, I think is very dangerous.”

Her remarks came in the wake of ABC temporarily pulling *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* from the air following the comedian’s comments mocking Trump’s response to the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, 31.

Jolie’s warning about limits on speech was perceived as a direct affront to Trump allies. A White House spokesman dismissed Kimmel as a “low ratings loser,” while the pro-Trump website Breitbart accused Jolie of “trashing America.”

**Jon Voight Sees Betrayal**

Sources say Jolie’s comments have particularly inflamed tensions with her father, Jon Voight, 86, a staunch Trump supporter. Earlier this year, Voight was appointed as one of three “special ambassadors” to Hollywood.

One Hollywood insider shared, “Jon feels Angelina has launched all-out war on everything he stands for politically. He thinks her comments weren’t just about Trump – they were a direct challenge to him and his role in MAGA Hollywood.”

Another family source added, “Angelina has always leaned left, speaking out for refugees and against wars, and Jon sees that as undermining his values. He told friends she is embarrassing him on the global stage by siding with what he calls ‘radical liberals.’ Their fragile relationship has been blown apart again.”

**Old Wounds Reopened**

Jolie, who has served as a UN special envoy, has long identified with progressive causes, from women’s rights to international justice. Insiders suggest her latest remarks were intended as a broader warning—not just about the Kimmel controversy but about the overall state of democracy under Trump.

One source explained, “She believes personal freedoms are under attack in America. To her, this is about more than Hollywood – it’s about protecting civil liberties. But Jon sees it as a betrayal.”

The prickly family dynamics have only sharpened the political clash. Jolie and Voight were estranged for many years after their relationship broke down in the early 2000s. Though they publicly reconciled later, these renewed tensions suggest old wounds remain raw.

**Hollywood Joins the Fight**

More than 400 prominent figures—including Robert De Niro, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Ruffalo, and Meryl Streep—have signed an open letter denouncing the removal of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* as “unconstitutional and unAmerican.”

The letter, organized by the American Civil Liberties Union, stated, “The government is threatening private companies and individuals that the president disagrees with. We can’t let this threat to our freedom of speech go unanswered.”

Despite Disney’s decision to restore *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* after what it called “thoughtful conversations” with the host, Trump has continued to threaten broadcast licenses for networks critical of him.

Even Republican Senator Ted Cruz warned that such moves were “unbelievably dangerous,” describing the tactics as “right out of *Goodfellas*.”
