I think she was hurt badly and betrayed so terribly that it made her evil and lonely
Something happen to her .
Unrequited love makes Maleficent revengeful.
Dysfunctional family or chemical imbalance?
Mental Illness.. no doubt
Someone hurt her and she seeks revenge on everyone
She was never loved.
It’s all that pent up anger from the papparazzi stalking her
Someone in her past betrayed her.
She’s a woman scorned.

She had a sad childhood and her heart was broken too many times by the important people in her life and she is so angry and mad that she turned evil.
I think that someone broke her heart when she was younger.
she is misunderstood, i’ve said that even as a kid. The biggest party in the world, and she is the only one not invited, they had it coming! lol
Everyone fears a strong woman.
Bad haircut.
Bad day.
Something terrible must have happened to her to make her that way.
She was born a sociopath. There is no explanation for evil, it just is.
I think someone broke her heart.
She had bad parents.
she’s bitter inside
I think she had some negativity in her life which caused bitterness
I think at one point she was exiled and that bred animosity towards those that banished her.
i think a neglected childhood followed by adultorous husband
I think she is just evil or maybe she gave up sweets.
She was very hurt 🙁
She must have been through a lot in her life…
She had a previous rocky marriage.

For the Fandango Facebook page, it’s showing up as Monster High for me in the Rafflecopter.
I think she was picked on or bullied when she was younger. Thank you!
i think she was just fed up!
I think her evilness is related to being betrayed by someone she loved and wanting to hurt them as much as she was hurt.
She probably was never loved or was betrayed.
I think she lacks self confidence. Or she was slighted when she was growing up and carries that resentment.
Someone broke up her marriage
She wasn’t loved enough as a child
Maybe she is evil due to a bad childhood, or experiences growing up?
Entered the rafflecopter form as “Wild Orchid”
Thanks for the chance to win!

I think she is lonely.
I think she is misunderstood.
Maybe she felt unloved as a child.
she feels unloved
A Broken Heart
Alas, so often, an assertive, very horny woman is misunderstood by many, and consequently rejected by the small-minded in a unjust manner, leading to an source of anger.
I think that she is misunderstood.
I think deep inside she’s really afraid and weak, but she’s scared to show it.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
No love growing up!
I think she has emotional issues because of a betrayal.
I think Disney always has to have an evil no matter what it keeps it exciting.
I think she was unloved as a child and bullied.
I think she just wanted to fit in with everyone else.
She just needs a Hug.
I think Maleficent has a evil heart form the beginning and this what made her evil. She was just a bad egg. I want to thank you for this awesome sweep and I love the movie 🙂
Someone hurt her feelings.
Maybe someone has hurt her and she has not yet forgiven them

I think all her life she was ridiculed and made to feel ugly or not good enough. She lashes out on others as a result of her pain. She does not know that there are other ways to handle stressful situations. She is truly hurting inside.
I think she just doesn’t like to see anyone else have good fortune.
I think she has never experienced love from anyone. She cannot understand what niceness and love is.
I think she woke up at the wrong side of the bed
I think she is so evil because she is bitter because she should be the rightful heir to the crown!
She probably started out good but then bad things happened to her. Life was unfair and she wanted to get back at the world for slighting her. I bet there’s still some good in there 🙂
I Think Someone Broke Her Heart, She Has Suffered A Great Loss In Her Life.
No one loves her.
I think she endured some abuse.
because her husband went to work on a project and ended up leaving her for the woman he worked with.
She probably was abused as a child (verbally and possibly physically).
She was probably raised badly from her parents.

She felt wronged by the king or the other faeries
Someone hurt her and she seeks revenge
She has a history of betrayal.
I’d say someone hurt her and she is seeking revenge now.
people were mean to her so she is mean
Probably because she was wronged in the past.
I’m guessing a bad relationship with her mother.
I also commented on the interview post – http://thatsitmommy.com/2014/05/9-things-elle-fanning-maleficent/#comment-178877
I think she was wronged. I really can’t wait to see the back story.
She was a fairy who lost her wings and the King was evil to her which turned her evil
She was hurt in her past and now she seeks revenge.
Apparently Maleficent felt left out as a child and has to take her anger out on others. She just needs someone to love her and she won’t be so evil.
She has a hard time with grudges…after all, she wasn’t invited to that birthday party. She’s just misunderstood.
Past trauma leading to future insecurities and rage.
Someone killed someone she loved? Who knows?

I would think that wearing that headgear that looks so incredibly uncomfortable has given her a nasty attitude.
She is evil because she is mad at someone. Someone did something very mean to her.
It always seems revenge is the cause.
She had everything taken from her. Revenge can lead you down a horrible path.
No family.
I think something terrible happened in her life and that event led her to evil.
I don’t know. Some people are just naturally ugly.
I think she has major jealousy issues.

She played too many violent video games growing up.
She’s just jealous.
She was never loved so now she is taking it out on everyone.
I saw the movie so the answer has to do with a power hungry guy breaking her heart lol.I actually felt so bad for her but absolutely loved this movie.

its because of jealousy, just like all the other villans
Bad Parents
I have no idea. But, if she’s as skinny as Angelina Jolie, maybe she just wants a cheeseburger. I assume it’s because of jealousy of Aurora’s youth and beauty.
I think she is so evil because her head hurts from those horns all the time!
Man done her wrong and she is a scorned woman
Something happened in her past to make her evil.
I think that even though her past has made her evil toward others she still has a soft spot for the very young because of their innocence.

I think she feels like she was wronged in some way and wants revenge for it.
i wish i understood why anyone in this world were evil. i guess we could blame it on what most people do and say she had a horrible upbringing.
