Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s youngest daughter was admitted to hospital for an eating disorder

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s youngest daughter was admitted to hospital for an eating disorder.

Vivienne, 18, - who earlier this month legally changed her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie – revealed at her new art exhibition that she had “struggled with an eating disorder”.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, Vivienne shared her story in an artist statement displayed at the show, writing: “Welcome to the Tulip Field. Why is it called The Tulip Field, you ask? Like many, I have struggled with mental health. I have also struggled with an eating disorder.

'At the beginning of this year, I was hospitalized for my ED. I was angry, sick, and very alone. Eventually, however, the kindness and warmth of the kids and staff at the hospital broke down the walls I had built so high.

'It was the worst and best time of my life and I am better for it. The Tulip Field is what I call the hospital and the paintings here represent moments in time spent there.”

A source told Page Six: “It took a lot of strength and courage for Vivienne to open up about something so personal, but she’s so glad she did.

“It wasn’t easy putting herself out there, but if sharing her story helps even one person feel less alone or gives them the courage to reach out and get the help they need, then it was worth it. That’s what matters most to her.”

Vivienne’s show was called The Tulip Field: A Gallery on Patience of Patients and ran from November 2 to November 8 at Forager Crafts in Los Angeles.
