Jon Voight's Roseanne riposte

Thursday, 21 August 2008

Jon Voight has branded Roseanne Barr "evil" for blasting his daughter Angelina Jolie.

Jon has angrily responded to the comedienne's vicious blog about Angelina and her "vacuous" partner Brad Pitt - in which Roseanne said the 'Wanted' actress was "evil spawn" and called their six children "dunces".

The 69-year-old actor has urged people to disregard Roseanne's internet rant, claiming she is a liar and has previously been misleading about being abused as a child.

Jon told US TV show 'Extra': "We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents.

"Roseanne's parents responded to the accusation by going on the air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.

"I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind)."

Meanwhile, Roseanne has backtracked on the damning comments she made about Angelina, 33, and 44-year-old Brad.

She wrote in a blog entitled 'I do not know Brangelina' on Tuesday (19.08.08): "I do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media's images of them are smelly and vile, and I must always attack the media's representation of what is good or cool."

In her original posting about the couple, Roseanne blasted Angelina for failing to support Democrat hopeful Barack Obama over Republican candidate John McCain in the US Presidential race.

The 55-year-old comic also attacked the pair for not giving more money to good causes.
