Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter files to remove father's name…
 

The daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has filed paperwork to legally change her name.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt submitted the petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court on 27 May, the day she turned 18, to change her name to Shiloh Jolie, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Shiloh, who performs as a voice actor in the film Kung Fu Panda 3, is the third-eldest of the former couple's six children.

She is the first to file a petition for a legal name change, but some of the others have dropped the public use of their father's last name in recent years, the paper added.

The siblings also include Maddox, Pax, Zahara and twins Knox and Vivienne.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016, but the details of the divorce have not yet been finalised.

The actors, who married in August 2014, have filed lawsuits against each other in recent years stemming from disagreements over their shared business ventures and property, including a winery in France.

Jolie accused Pitt of being "emotionally and physically abusive" towards the actress and her children, according to court filings from October 2022.

She claimed a series of violent incidents took place during a plane journey in September 2016, which ultimately led to her filing for divorce.

The allegations, which Pitt strongly denied at the time, were originally made during a custody battle but emerged in a cross-complaint by Jolie as part of the former couple's ongoing legal dispute.

While the claims were made at the time of the divorce, they were contained in a redacted FBI report.

At the time a representative for Pitt, who was not authorised to speak publicly, strongly denied Jolie's allegations and called them "another rehash that only harms the family".

A judge gave Pitt 50-50 custody of the children after a closed-door trial in which the allegations were aired, but an appeals court subsequently disqualified the private judge for not disclosing possible conflicts of interest after a motion from Jolie, nullifying the decision.

Their divorce case has not yet been finalised and custody and financial issues remain unresolved.

Little Madame

She's an adult, she can change her name if she likes. "Little Madame" so patronising

Yep, if there's bad blood between them then it stands to reason she'll want to drop his name. Fair play to her.

I feel like if she wanted to drop the Jolie rather than the Pitt there'd be no issue from some people.....

it makes sense if the rest of the family are dropping his name too

It doesn't show a good sign of his character if his own children want to disown him the first chance that they get.

Indeed - Jennifer Aniston dodged a bullet there it seems.

Did she just wanna be friends?

But seriously, it looks like you're right about her dodging a bullet.

Bollocks
Rich 18-year-old

That makes no sense to what i posted but OK...

Then you have The Smiths - both so messy that the kids seem to be going full Madonna and dropping their surnames entirely :umm2:.

Wouldn't blame them tbh

Why has she done this?

Brad hasn't been a very nice boy post-separation, Angelina Jolie Pitt went back to Jolie so it's not surprising if the kids want their names to match if they're not a fan of Dad.

Funny story: This applied to a kid at my high school, but his mother (whose surname had been Colins) had named him Colin. His siblings all changed their names, but he had to keep his, because otherwise he'd have been Colin Colins. The fool made the mistake of telling this story at school, so obviously, was then known as "Colin-Colin - so good they named him twice" for the rest of high school.

Let's see if they take his name back for the inheritance :smug:

I'm sure they'll get plenty from their mother. ..

#1 having the same name isn't a condition of an inheritance, nor is it a guarantee of one :think:

#2 While Pitt's fortune is somewhat larger, Angelina Jolie is independently worth something like $150 million. I don't think any of them actually need his money. So whether or not he's petty enough to cut his offspring out of his will is down to Brad. If he is, then that's just further confirmation that they're making the right choice by distancing themselves from him.

Good people and good parents would be sad and regretful if something happened that made their children want less to do with them. The ones who get bitter/angry about it? Yeah... that's the reason your kids don't visit :idc:.

All seems very petty


Looks like the mum has poisoned the mind of the lassie

not nice

Not "parental alienation" guff :facepalm:. Straight out of the sad-dads Men's Rights Activist handbook.

I have family experience of a daughter changing her name to hurt her father. The mother was a defining factor. And trying to hurt him really worked. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Both her and the kids have said that he was emotionally and at times physically abusive but of course carry on, poor Sad Brad. I mean we had a fair number on here adamantly defending Johnny Depp so it's entirely unsurprising.

Yes

spiteful

Why do you imagine they;d be spiteful towards him? It'll be entirely random and not his fault I'm sure. Maybe she's "just evil" - like the rest of 'em eh LT.
