Angelina
Jolie Threatened With Cambodian Lawsuit
11/2/06
Crusading actress Angelina Jolie has been threatened with legal action
after accusing a Cambodian charity of stealing.
The Tomb Raider star recently broke off an agreement with wildlife
group Cambodian Vision In Development, in which she had committed to a
$1.5 million donation spread over five years.
But she pulled out of the contract and set up her own organization
after allegedly branding a charity worker a thief.
Now the organization is threatening to sue for libel and breach of
contract if Jolie doesn't apologize for her comments.
Cambodian Vision In Development head Mounh Sarath says, "I have
been asking Jolie and her lawyer to give me an appropriate answer, but so
far no answer.
"Now I give her one week and if there is still no answer I will a
file suit in the local court of Battambang."
Jolie has since started up the Maddox Jolie Project, which is named
after her eldest child, Cambodian-born Maddox, five.
