Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne reveals hospitalization for eating disorder at LA art exhibit: ‘It wasn’t easy’

Vivienne Jolie, 18, has revealed that she was hospitalised for an eating disorder earlier this year, sharing her experience through a statement at a Los Angeles art exhibition. She wrote that she had felt angry, ill and alone, and said she hopes speaking openly may help others feel less isolated or seek support.

Her exhibition, “The Tulip Field: A Gallery on Patience of Patients”, ran from 2 to 8 November and took its name from the hospital where she received treatment. The paintings preserve memories of sadness, laughter, safety and bravery, with titles drawn from her journal entries; Vivienne credited fellow patients and staff with helping her through the experience.
