Despite paparazzi up on the rooftops and horrible, scary rumors of paparazzi renting helicopters in a desperate attempt to capture the first photos of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt on the sly, all the people behind the cameras were foiled. Angelina Jolie, Knox, and Vivienne were discharged from the Lenval hospital and arrived home safely.
Well thank goodness for that, because thoughts of paparazzi chasing down a helicopter departure immediately reminded me of Princess Di being chased for a photo op right before she died.
The family - and presumably Brad Pitt was with them - left in the dark hours, heading out at about 4 am on Saturday morning. Rather than leaving in a helicopter, which was how she arrived, she slipped out by car. According to People, an observer said, “We saw the cars and we thought it was her but we didn’t see anything.”
That’s so wonderful to know that they were able to leave quietly. My theory was that they would slip her down to the emergency room and transport them out by ambulance. The idea would be that no one would think it was Angelina or the Jolie-Pitt twins, that it would just look like an ambulance heading out on an emergency call.
They did, however, elude the press by slipping out the back way. You can read the full story of their well-organized departure here.
Dr. Sussmann, Angelina’s doctor was the one who broke the news to the disappointed paparazzi, saying, “You can go home. The story is over.”
What a relief to know that Angelina Jolie, Knox, and Vivienne are safely at home at their chateau.
