Brad Pitt's daughter enlists legal assistance.
18-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the offspring of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is officially ditching her last name, "Pitt." This development was reported by a source who claimed Shiloh used her own money to hire an attorney, who helped her change her last name. The move seems to symbolize a desire to distance herself from her father.
Do these actions reveal which side Shiloh's sympathies are on in the ongoing conflict between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? A source speaking with "People" magazine confirmed that Shiloh took this step on her 18th birthday. The change is quite significant: she is now known as Shiloh Jolie and has abandoned the Jolie-Pitt double surname.
So, why did Shiloh make this change? The source said that her motivation stemmed from her father's alleged violent past. Reportedly, she chose this legal move on the same day she turned 18, which is significant since she just became a legal adult.
It's worth noting that Shiloh isn't the first family member to drop her father's surname. While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a total of six joint children, two of them have already done something similar. A video showed that Zahara, one of their daughters, referred to herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" when she was admitted into the AKA student fraternity at Spelman College last November. Additionally, another daughter, Vivienne, appeared as a production assistant in the program for the new musical "The Outsiders" without the surname "Pitt."
The relationship between Brad Pitt and his children has been strained for years. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt separated more than seven years ago and fought for custody over their six children. Three of these kids were adopted, while the rest are biological, and Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. Some sources claim Pitt's strange behavior led to the separation. Brad and Angelina have been together since 2005, but they didn't get married until 2014 before their eventual divorce.
