Angelina Jolie has been forced to defend herself against a barrage of criticism following her latest adoption.
The Oscar-winning actress, who adopted three-year-old Vietnamese tot Pax Thien Jolie last week, has hit out at attacks she is a “bad person”, amid claims the adoption process was “cruel”, “handled atrociously” and “fast-tracked” due to her celebrity profile.
Pax’s caregiver at the orphanage is also stunned by the jarring adoption process.
Bui Thi Bich Tuyen, a nurse and the substitute mother who cared for Pax from infancy, says, “It all happened so quickly. He had no idea what was going on except that he was going to be taken away by a stranger. There was no time to say goodbye.”
