Angelina Jolie And George Clooney Slammed For Housing ZERO Refugees In Their EIGHT Mansions
They have plenty of space for the migrants they have pleaded for the world to house.
And Angelina Jolie, along with George Clooney and his humanitarian lawyer wife have been sneered at for not housing a single refugee in any of the eight palatial homes they own between them.
This week Angelina Jolie, special envoy for the United Nation’s refugee agency, said the international community must address the root causes of the global refugee crisis.

In pouring rain and shrieking winds at a press conference in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, Jolie told the gathered media: “We cannot manage the world through aid relief in the place of diplomacy and political solutions.”
Meanwhile George Clooney and his wife Amal met with Syrian families in Berlin to listen to their experiences and speak about the refugee crisis.
The Hail, Caesar! star and his wife partnered with the International Rescue Committee to mark the fifth anniversary of the war in Syria with a video in which they reflect on the difficult situation faced by immigrants.

Clooney said: “It’s too much to talk about giant numbers, it’s actually easy to dismiss giant numbers.
“But it’s very hard to dismiss a young child sitting on the ground crying when her mother is telling the story about how she left, how she grabbed her daughter and sat on the ground and said, ‘If I die, I want to die by a bullet because it would be quicker’.
“We as what we like to think of as a civilised world and nation always look around at the end of these tragedies and say, ‘If we knew, we would have done something’. And the reality of it is of course - we know.”
High times on a red carpet for Jolie and Pitt.
The Clooneys have two villas in Laglio, Italy, a £10million nine-bedroom mansion in the Berkshire village of Sonning Eye, a holiday home in the Mexican beach location of Cabo and a property in Los Angeles.
Jolie and Pitt own a £35million château in Brignoles, Provence in the south of France, a £4.5million home in New Orleans and a house in Los Feliz, California.
Despite the appeals for the globe to do better by refugees, none of the properties have a single refugee living there.
And critics on Twitter have been stressing the three Hollywood multi-millionaires ‘have EIGHT homes and NO refugees’.

The violence in Syria has killed 250,000 people, displaced half of the country’s population and created Europe’s worst refugee crisis since the Second World War.
The Hollywood set aren’t the only stars open to criticism for not practicing what they preach on the world stage in between private jet and limo rides.
Bob Geldof, above, last September offered to take in four families to his Kent home and luxury flat in Battersea, London, as he expressed disgust at the migrant and refugee crisis in Europe.
More than six months on, they are only inhabited by his family.
