Shiloh drops Pitt for a new start: Inside the Jolie family rift

After Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's marriage broke up, their children decisively sided with their mother. Eighteen-year-old Shiloh wanted to emphasize her resentment toward her father even more. It turns out that the actress had no idea about her child's decision, which involves removing the second part of her last name.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were considered a model of a happy and responsible couple for almost ten years, who took on the burden of raising an impressive number of children. As is often the case in the entertainment industry, the happiness they projected during public appearances was a mask for the drama happening behind the doors of their California residence. The final straw was a violent argument on a private jet, during which the actor allegedly raised his hand against two of his children.

Despite the divorce case ending, the former spouses have still not settled their property issues. Interestingly, in media narratives, one often hears about the actress's "dirty tricks," who allegedly used the children as bargaining chips in negotiations with Brad. She achieved a satisfactory result, as the mostly adult children decisively cut ties with their father.

Exactly a week ago, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt officially entered adulthood. One of her first independent decisions was a last name change. The acting couple's biological daughter filed the appropriate request regarding this matter.

It turned out that the eighteen-year-old did not consult her plans with her mother. Angelina was reportedly amazed by this fact.

Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it - an informant said on "Entertainment Tonight."

With this move, Shiloh showed significant solidarity with her siblings. A few weeks ago, her younger sister was introduced in the American media as "Vivienne Jolie," although this probably has not been legally confirmed. Also, 19-year-old Zahara and 22-year-old Maddox stopped using their father's last name. Interestingly, at that time, Angelina Jolie allegedly persuaded her eldest son not to file a request for a legal name change. According to a family insider, Shiloh is much more determined, driven by her disdain and enormous resentment toward Brad Pitt.
