and clearly, TMZ loves Billy Bob Thornton's kids.
First, TMZ broke the story about Thornton's teenaged son being involved in a MK LeTourneau-type criminal case, despite violating the standard practice of keeping the identity of underaged victims out of the press; now they are reporting about Thornton's eldest daughter being charged in the death of a one year old child.
Unlike TMZ, the AP was quick to point out that this woman's relationship to Billy Bob Thornton couldn't be verified; nevertheless, TMZ ran with the story. Mind you, Thornton did issue a statement about this, which does confirm that his daughter is the accused.
Billy Bob has been in the press for being a douche on a Canadian radio show, but this story is pretty sad. Unfortunately, Billy Bob's douchiness overshadowed the sadness. What the hell was with Thornton reinterating that he hasn't been in contact with his daughter for a while? What does that have to do with anything? This isn't a guilt by association type of proposition. How about expressing some sympathy towards your daughter's plight? Or even better, get your daughter an attorney? Performing these minimal actions wouldn't be a slap to the face of the victim and her survivors.
Just further proof that Billy Bob Thornton will do the bare minimum just to get by.
Lucky escape for Angelina and Maddox.
