Angelina Jolie‘s appearance has become the subject of intense online scrutiny after the Hollywood star was photographed with a half-closed eye at a school event for her adopted daughter in the U.S.

The actress’s representatives were quick to address the situation, claiming the physical defect is the result of facial nerve paralysis. According to her official team, this frightening episode of Bell’s palsy was triggered by a combination of severe emotional stress and a sudden, sharp spike in her blood sugar levels.

Despite the medical explanation provided by her spokespeople, a large segment of the internet remains thoroughly unconvinced. Widespread speculation on social media suggests that the true culprit is a cosmetic procedure gone wrong.

Many netizens theorise that Angelina Jolie recently underwent a blepharoplasty, a type of eyelid surgery, where the surgeon mistakenly removed an excessive amount of tissue. Those backing this theory suggest that the A-lister is now facing a lengthy and difficult rehabilitation period to correct the cosmetic error.

Previous concerns in Shanghai

This is not the first time in recent weeks that Jolie’s appearance has sparked public concern. Just one month ago, fans noticed several oddities during her visit to Shanghai.

While attending a high-profile reception for Tom Ford Beauty, observers highlighted her seemingly vacant stare, frozen complexion and distinct lack of natural facial expressions.

Even then, the footage and photographs left commentators firmly divided into two distinct camps. While one side instantly attributed her rigid features to heavy-handed surgical interventions, the other expressed genuine alarm that the beloved actress might be secretly battling a serious underlying illness.
