Brad Pitt’s Daughter Requests Name Change Amid Family Feud
In a shocking turn of events, Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh, has officially requested to have her father’s last name removed amid a bitter family feud. Shiloh, who is Pitt’s third child with his former partner Angelina Jolie, filed the paperwork on May 27, her 18th birthday, asking that her new legal name be Shiloh Jolie. This decision comes amidst reports that Pitt, 60, is trying to mend a “broken” bond with Shiloh. It is worth noting that Pitt’s other children, Vivienne, Zahara, and Maddox, also do not use his last name.
The relationship between Pitt and Jolie has been tumultuous since they began publicly dating shortly after Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston in 2005. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 after two years of marriage, and the couple was declared legally single in 2019. The bitter divorce battle reportedly strained Pitt’s relationship with his children, leading to ongoing disputes over the circumstances of their breakup and business arrangements. In 2022, Jolie filed court papers accusing Pitt of physical abuse towards her and two of their children on a private jet in 2016. The papers also detailed instances of verbal abuse and alcohol pouring during a flight from France to Los Angeles.
Despite the serious allegations, Pitt has denied the accusations, and authorities chose not to press charges following an FBI investigation in 2016. Earlier this year, Jolie claimed that the abuse began before the plane incident, further straining the relationship between Pitt and his children. In particular, Pax, one of their adopted children, has not spoken to his father since the altercation. In a 2020 Instagram post on his private account, Pax referred to Pitt as a “world-class a—hole” and a “despicable person” who instilled fear in his four youngest siblings. Recent reports suggest that Pitt has abandoned his pursuit of shared custody of their children.
The ongoing family feud between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continues to make headlines, with their children at the center of the controversy. As the situation unfolds, the public remains captivated by the drama surrounding this Hollywood power couple and their tumultuous relationship.
