X17 XCLUSIVE - Protests Threaten Security At Hospital Where Angelina & Twins Are In Nice

HospitalAJolie_01_X17.jpg

Protesters yelling chants, calling for justice just outside of Angelina's super-protected private hospital window may have woken up Brad, the new mom and their babies this evening ...

Residents in Nice protested this evening outside Lenval Hospital, speaking out against what they say is the mayor's undue attention to a celebrity birth over the murder of a local youth which, they say, received little attention from officials in the southern French city.

The local family, originally from North Africa, told X17 video cameras they demand justice for their 22 year -old son who was stabbed. The crowd chanted "We want justice!" A protester added that city officials have not paid attention to the boy's murder and that they have not been allowed to return his body home.

The man said Nice's mayor, Christian Estrosi, has been "celebrating the birth of the twins with Brad Pitt, meanwhile there has been no murder investigation and the killer [of the 22 year-old boy] is still running free in the city."

Protesters became enraged and some even tried to enter the hospital. Anti-riot police were brought in and Brad and Angie hired three extra bodyguards to secure the hospital.

Could this be a wake-up call for Brangelina? We respect the couple's charity work on philanthropy but is the spectacle of their children's birth and their $70 million-dollar French chateau overshadowing a country's own, more important news? No doubt it is, but is that Brad and Angelina's fault or ours, the media's?

Maybe the couple will donate some of the $11 million they're rumored to be getting for the kids' pix, to this poor family.



The protest perhaps signifies a larger issue in France with immigrants, particularly those from north Africa, feeling they receive little attention or respect from the French government. Riots in March 2006 on the outskirts of Paris drew worldwide attention when young people burned cars in reaction to new labor laws that kept many immigrant students our of the French workplace.

One protester today in Nice told X17, "France is our country; we respect French people; we love France; but when we're treated as if we're worthless, we love no one anymore."

In sympathy, she's adopting from both France and North Africa.

How is this Brad and Angelina's fault? I can why why citizen would be upset, I would be as well, but it isn't B&A's fault. Put the blame were it goes, celeb hungry media, an attention seeking mayor and the failure of the police to take action over this man's murder.

But why are the protesters at the hospital? Wouldn't their time be better spent at the police station and the mayor's office?

This is your fault. The medias fault. Why aren't you covering the story about "this poor family". Why aren't you donating some of your money to help "this poor family". You pay millions for celebrity photos to post. Spend a little of your millions x17 to help those in need. How about helping me out with my fund raising for pediatric brain research? Do something positive.

This isn't Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fault. This have been happening since many years, it's very sad. The frech goverment never paid too much attention to things hat happend to immigrants or people of their ex-colonys, even if they where born in France (and they are legally french).

It's both that are at fault. If they
didn't make a circus out of everything
and the media would back off from every
word they say then it might be there
would be time to solve a murder. It's
gotten totally out of control. This is
their fifth and sixth kids, we heard
all of it over and over. Give it a rest. They aren't the only people in the
world.

Posted by: Janet


I agree, this is not B&A's fault. It is quite unfortunate, but laying the blame on people that were not involved and had nothing to do with it is not going to bring anyone back from the dead. People are murdered every day, all around the world. But you are going to find that people are always engrossed in the lives of celebrities...we are always intrigued. I do wish the best for the family that has suffered a loss. But there is no reason to attack Angelina and Brad.

Posted by: Anonymous


This is completely the fault of the media ... I don't imagine B & A want all this insane attention!!

I think this should be a wakeup call to X17 and the rest of the media parked outside of the hospital. There's more important shit going on , ya know? .

That's one reason why I hope Brangelina takes the millions from the magazine for the pix because people mag would never donate that much to something more worthy. Angelina and Brad will give a lot of the money to charity while people mag would rather spend it on celeb baby pics. 10 million or however much they get could help a lot of people, people.

It's time to treat them like what they
are, a actor and actress.

Posted by: sam


This is not Angelinas or Brads fault. Not even the medias fault. And the mayor does not investigate crimes, the police does!
So why dont they complain outside a police station? That would be the logical thing to do.

I'm glad to see x17 bringing attention to something real like this.....there are bigger things in the world than celebrity fucking babies

Posted by: WHO CARES


Guess not everyone thinks they are the
most important thing in the world. The
media needs to get a clue. It has just
been over blown too many times.

Posted by: John


this musst be the reason why the media whores cancelled the press conference for today.

Posted by: mall


hmmm sure, angelina & brad are the reason the oil prices are high too... and to everyone who says "who cares" "there are more important things in the world" then, wtf are you doing here, if you really didn't care you would not be here, simple as that.

Posted by: dits


Wow, what jealous hateful losers there are in this world of ours. Does the mayor work in the hospital? Do the police operate from the hospital? No - those protesters should carry their placards and their issues to the people responsible and quit bothering two people trying to do some good in this world.

And to the person who talked about throwing the twins out the window, clean up your filthy, disgusting and foul mind. Why don't you do our eco system a favour and go jump out the nearest window?

Posted by: SNTL


Brangelina whore to the media when they're espousing some cause, then expect the media attention to back off. It doesn't work that way. You court the media, it wants more.

I don't believe the public is all that hungry for this major coverage of a celebrity birth. I wouldn't buy a magazine just because it had pictures of a celebrity baby or two in it.

I think the media feeds on itself..

As for the young man that was killed, it's not Brangelina's fault, but they're still the reason media attention is at the hospital instead of at the police station. In sad truth, the French in general aren't very concerned with crime in the North African immigrant community. There's too much of it.

I swore I would stay away, but this is getting to be too much. If crazies like you at this site and the other nut cases camped outside the hospital would leave, this would not be happening. YOu are the ones with blow by blow nonesense about "sources inside the hospital" telling a bunch of lies. Now since you can't get anything you start blaming them.

Take a long hard look at yourself before blaming someone else. They did not ask the mayor to come and they sure as hell did not ask you to try and take pictures through windows, block entrances and be otherwise obnoxious.

Why don't you give the poor family money as it is yours and the other crazy media who is making this a circus.

Posted by: Oh please


The Mayor was doing his job well, promoting 'good' things that happen in his town to encourage interest, and tourism. I feel sorry for the family who lost their young son, but they themselves are jumping on the bandwagon of B and A, to gain publicity for what has happened to their son. If it wasn't for B and A, who would even have heard of this specific murder in the South of Nice. It happens every day in these Ghettos.

the freakin muslims are taking over France...and the French are allowing it...Theyre going to get what they deserve

Thank God the protest happened to this full of themselves couple. I can't stand Angelina whoring her children out all the time.

She is using her adopted kids as a tool to make public think highly of her. She doesn't give a damn about those kids' privacy, stability and education.

How do you finish school and really learn something if you change school every 3 moths like Maddox? Angelina will have to buy a high school diploma for Maddox when he gets older.

B$A love to be on the spotlite, hell so what if she has kids, she is not the only person on this earth to have kids. they love the attention also. people should get over them. they are really rich buying homes all over the place. i dont like her, she took brad away from jennifer, and lied about it when asked

Posted by: peace


The only fault this is is the media. Look at what you guys are doing now, stalking not just Brangelina but the entire hospital. If you guys hadn't reported so many wrong bullshit Brangelina wouldn't be so overexposed right now.

Posted by: What a bunch of liars


Oh brother!!! Give me a break. These protesters need to go to City Hall, and not the hospital. Why blame Brad and Angelina for the behavior of the mayor?

Posted by: Anonymous


This is so fucking funny. They are protesting because Brad and Angelina and their whore circus ARE RIDICULOUS. Leave the bastards alone, people.

Posted by: MJ


I have to say that lately their heads have gotten quite BIG. Their belief in their own importance is stunning. I really feel sorry for that young man and the people of Nice. Perhaps the major should take some time with important things instead of having the paps take his picture.

Posted by: guest


Its not their fault???? Angelina is hideous and lives for this publicity. Why France is teating them like royalty when they are just Hollywood trash is beyond me. She stole another womens husband. She is no better than Sienna Miller stealing the Getty guy from his wife. Sure the men are just as much at fault but why do these bitches abuse their power?

Posted by: another guest


this is the media's fault.
*
britney had problems but it was the media circus that pushed her over the edge and helped cause her nervous breakdown. look how much better she is doing now that she doesn't have x17 and sam osama lufti trying to ruin her life.
*
the media obsession with this family makes me gag.
*
x17 tell your cult of gangbangers and illegals to stop stalking celebrities.
*
you don't need to send 25 people to france from your agency to cover this story.

Thank God for my French compatriots they care about the REAL problems.Yeah it's not cool that they are next to Angelina's hospital BUT it's probably to get media attention.The mayor is a huge asshole.

Posted by: Anonymous


X17 must still be bitter about taking pics of random people and putting them up as Angie when it wasn't her.

How is Brad and Angelina's fault that someone they had not met before was not paying enough attention to a murder they had never heard about?

Everyone at X17 must have the IQ of a chimp - although, to believe the kind of crap that spins out of here, I guess you'd have to be a bit dim.

Posted by: Nicole


They are not protesting because of Angelina they are trying to get the mayor's attention.
I love how her fans say it's bad,isn't Angelina famous for being a humanitarian?
So let them protest and get what they want.

Posted by: Anonymous


Why did she have her dr. call a press conference TWICE?

Why was she going to have a press conference with BRAD today at the hosp?

She has the tabloids on redial.

X17, post the truth about them. Please. She PHONES you, doesn't she? Or she has her underlings do it, right? Or she also has press release faxes, right?

Please, tell the truth about this fake couple.

Also please tell the truth, that Brad has been screwing Mariane Pearl for a while, that's why he went to the Radiohead show with her, that's why he spent the night away from AJ in Italy.

Please X17, tell us the truth.

oh my god,its Angelina's fault why the guy was tabbed, she is a wicked witch.

Posted by: anonymous


I totally agree with the family, hundreds of babies are born daily without getting so much attention, when there are other important issues affecting a country. It just proofs that money makes the dog dance.

Posted by: Anonymous


I can't believe they'd go to those extremes. I mean really why rain on Brad and Angies parade? They didn't stab your son, I'm sure there are many investigaters on the hunt as I write. Probably a drug bust gone wrong. They come a dime a dozen. The press conference took what? Maybe an hour of that day, so let's make a huge deal out of it. NOT

Posted by: Teri


All the bad that happens in the world is Angie's fault. Logic!

x17 you are so lame and hypocrite.

Posted by: 7R


X17 is so freaking pissy, the ugly bith that runs this site is nothing but mealy mouthed freak, why dont x17 give the family of the dead kid some money? B&A have the god given right to have their children anywhere they want to.

Posted by: x17 sucks


lol @ "woken up." God that sounds horrible! What teenager runs this site? It may not be too late to take some grammar classes this summer.

Posted by: Misha


Well......the blame could be partially Jolie and Pitt.

See, when a magazine pays them money for the pictures, Jolie & Pitt DO NOT tell the magazines to donate the money to a charity in their name. They take the money and put it in their charity pool fund. That doesn't mean they don't donate the money, it just means it could sit, be a tax write off, and distribute when ever. Even the interest in chairty pools is tax non-taxable.

What Jolie & Pitt should do; tell the winning magazine to donate the money to a good cause in their name. They are a bit of the media whores so they should use their star power to draw attention to the death of this young man.

Posted by: Anonymous


The citizens are doing exactly what Jolie has done. She says she uses her star power to draw attention to the needy. The citizens are no different and she should appreciate what they're doing.

I understand their pain and hurt, but they should be protesting in front of the mayor's office. Not the hospital. It's not Brad and Angelina's fault.

Posted by: Anonymous


Angelina and Brad are not the only people at the hospital. The family would be better protesting at the Mayor's office than at a womens' hospital. It's not BP and AJ's fault that the mayor is not doing his job, it's his. And I don't see how storming a hospital filled with babies and pregnant women is going to garner sympathy for their cause.

Posted by: H


Hahahaha..this is so much fun.
" I don't see torming the hospital filled with babies and pregnant women is going to garner sympathy for their cause"
LoL
For some moments, The Pitts clan would think it is their fans coming for them and they would be so excited about that.
They protest may get the pregnant women give birth easier and quicker to reduce the labor pain.
The Pitts clan now have something to think about what to do with the money from the pictures. Next week there will be a news about the Pitts give the France youth crime protection program 11 millions dollars! so now the money for pictures they ask for their children will be 22 millions.

honte surtout aux francais de manifester devant un hopital c'est vraiment minable !!!
quelle triste image de la france !!

Posted by: Anonymous


c'est stupide ! Je suis française, peut-être pensez vous qu'il nous est facile de nous faire entendre par le Maire, la police et le gouvernement mais nous ne le pouvons pas ! ce n'est pas un jeune qui a été assassiné mais TROIS ! Et pendant ce temps que fait la police ? Elle protège le couple Brangelina sans faire la moindre enquête sur ces meurtres !!! Ces gens n'ont pas d'autre choix que de se faire entendre grâce aux paparazzi. Il n'y a pas d'enquête et l'hopital refuse de rendre le corps à la famille du défunt alors que celui ci est musulman est selon cette religion doit être enterré dans son pays d'origine durant les 7 jours suivant sa mort, on ne leur laisse même pas cette possibilité.
Ce n'est pas la faute de Brangelina, ni celle des paparazzi, la faute en reviens entièrement à la politique du gouvernement en place en France.
Merci Brangelina et merci à vous, de nous laisser la possibilité aux français de se faire entendre.
vous nous écoutez plus que notre Président ! :(

It still amazes me that people just can not see through Angelina and all her PR stunts. Now, no one believes for a second that the murder of this 22 year old is Brangelina's fault. However, I think that they are making a stand to say that their mayor need to get his priorities in order. But, back to Angelina. If Angelina did not want this type of attention she would not have asked the doctor to have a press conference. Now, we all know that the doctor would not have done this without angelina's request. She say leave me alone, they she call a press conference. It was the same with Shiloh. Her and Brad issued statements about how they want the press to allow them to have their baby in peace, and within a couple of days she was doing an interview with Ann Curry. Everytime she wants to be left alone she try to get as much attention as she possibly can from the public. The more attention, the more money in her pocket for the sale of the babies pictures. It is still incomprehensible to me that people see her as anything other than a person that literally need the attention like some of us need the air to breath, and it is so pathetic for those children.

Believe it or not, Angelina's fame has accelerated in unbelievable strength. She has befriended the media and the media adores her. Whether Angelina invited them or not is not an issue. The media will come with no invitation. That's how friendly they are with her. When people need attention, they come close to a famous place and people to get noticed. That is common sense.
