Jolie regularly visits underdeveloped areas as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Of her frequent visits to the Mountaineer state, she said, "I can't really talk about the situation without becoming emotional."
A source who asked not to be named revealed that after Jolie's last visit to the state, she went through a period of despair and became suicidal. But, the source noted, friends were able to convince her that "the NIT is better than no post-season tournament at all."
