As we reported earlier today, Angelina Jolie's three bodyguards were arrested for allegedly roughing up parents at a school in India.

According to Reuters the Hollywood star has spoken out about the incident, "It is not surprising that the press involved failed to mention their share of the responsibility in the chaos."

The incident took place at an Islamic school where Jolie was filming A Mighty Heart. Sources say Jolies bodyguard manhandled parents who were trying to get their children from school and the guards tried to keep the paparazzi out.

Mohammed Yusuf Patni, general secretary of the Anjuman-e-Islam school's Parent Teacher Association, told the Associated Press, "This Jolie's bodyguard called one parent, 'You bloody Indian.' "

Jolie fought back to this statement by saying, "As for this horrible rumor that someone referred to a local man as a 'bloody Indian,' let me say this: I would never work with anyone that was derogatory towards another man's race. My family is of mixed race."
