Celebrities and their lives swirl around never-ending legal battles and drama. According to a report in People, a source claimed that Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh, hired an attorney to drop Pitt from her surname, which would make her legal name Shiloh Jolie.
“Shiloh hired her lawyer and paid for it herself,” the source said in the report, pointing to Jolie’s allegations of an “abuse history” as part of the reason for the name change. Furthermore, sources also claimed that Shiloh filed in her legal paperwork to drop Pitt from her last name on May 27, her 18th birthday.
Have Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s other kids also dropped their last names?
Two of Shiloh’s siblings have also removed Pitt from their last name. Vivienne is listed as Vivienne Jolie in the playbill for the Broadway show The Outsiders, and Zahara, who joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at Spelman College in November, introduced herself there as Zahara Marley Jolie.
Previously, Jolie has alleged Pitt was abusive to both her and the children, which Pitt’s lawyers have called misleading and a distraction. That’s not all; the duo have also been fighting over their winery dispute, which has become nothing but a back-to-back ugly battle.
More details about the couple’s dispute and divorce claims
As mentioned above, Angelina Jolie has claimed Pitt has been abusive towards her and the kids on multiple occasions, and Pitt and his lawyers have denied the allegations at all costs. A source told PEOPLE in August 2022 that their lack of connection has been “a sad situation for years,” referring to Pitt’s ongoing custody fight with Jolie.
“Many times, there have been long gaps where he didn’t visit the kids at all,” the source claimed.
However, recent claims by a security guard who works for the actor say that Jolie allegedly asked the children to refrain from spending time with Pitt during visits.
In a strong counter-response, her attorney Paul Murphy said through a statement: “All Angelina has ever wanted was separation and health, with positive relationships between all members of their family, including Mr. Pitt.”
Moreover, Jolie has said before that she made the decision to separate from the father of her children and added that there’s a lot she couldn’t say about the ongoing divorce settlement.
In addition to Shiloh, Pitt and Jolie share five other children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15. The actress filed for divorce in 2016 and requested sole physical custody of their six children.
