Zahara Jolie-Pitt’s real mother clears up lies about her adoption (video)

In 2005, Angelina Jolie adopted Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt from an orphanage in Ethiopia.

The girl was six months old at the time. Angelina and her then-husband, Brad Pitt, became Zahara’s parents in 2006, when the girl was one year old.

In recent years, rumors have circulated about Zahara’s adoption. Some have claimed that the girl was kidnapped from her biological parents and that Angelina bought her illegally.

Others have said that Zahara is not an orphan and that she has a family that loves her.

In 2023, Zahara’s biological mother, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, broke her silence to set the record straight on the lies about her daughter’s adoption.


In an interview with British media outlet The Sun, Lebiso said that she gave her daughter up for adoption legally and voluntarily.

Lebiso said that she gave birth to Zahara in a hospital in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. She said that the girl was raised by her grandmother until she was six months old, when Lebiso decided to give her up for adoption.

Lebiso said that she made the decision to give her daughter up for adoption because she could not care for her. She said that she was poor and that she did not have a stable home.

Lebiso said that she is happy that Zahara has found a loving family in Angelina and Brad. She said that she is in contact with her daughter and that she visits her when she can.

Lebiso’s interview with The Sun put an end to the rumors about Zahara’s adoption. The girl’s biological mother confirmed that the adoption was legal and voluntary.

Lebiso said that she met Angelina and Brad at the orphanage in Ethiopia. She said that they were very kind to her and that they made her feel comfortable about giving her daughter up for adoption.

Lebiso said that she has seen Zahara several times since the adoption. She said that the girl is happy and healthy and that she is loved by her adoptive parents.

Lebiso said that she hopes that the interview will help to clear up the rumors about Zahara’s adoption. She said that she wants people to know that Zahara is loved and that she is in a good place.
