A big blow for Brad Pitt—his daughter Shiloh, shortly after turning 18, filed papers to renounce her father's last name. We know why she decided to take this step.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were once considered among the most famous couples in Hollywood. They were often admired as a cohesive model duo. Their relationship, filled with joint film projects and charitable activities, attracted media attention worldwide. Unfortunately, despite their perfect image, their relationship ended in a scandal that shocked their fans and sparked numerous speculations.

Their 2016 divorce was tumultuous. Public disputes over child custody and allegations of misconduct put the couple on the front pages of newspapers, but this time in a much less favorable light.

Brad Pitt's daughter renounces her father's last name

Brad Pitt's 18-year-old daughter, Shiloh, filed for a name change. The teenager had waited four years to drop her father's surname. According to information obtained by journalists from the mentioned portal, the whole matter is related to an altercation that allegedly took place on board a private jet. During the trip, the actor reportedly shouted insults at his wife and children, accusing them of "using him."

An informant from the "Daily Mail" also claims that Shiloh changed her name because she felt her rights were violated. This pertains specifically to the process of granting parental custody rights. Let us recall that the matter was resolved during six-month closed-door hearings. At that time, the court heard testimonies from experts who had interviewed the children. Ultimately, Brad received the right to joint custody of the minors. The actress appealed for the children to testify, but Judge John Ouderkirk did not agree to her request. Jolie then demanded the judge's disqualification.

"Shiloh Jolie-Pitt hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, a source close to the matter told Fox News Digital. The decision to remove Pitt from her last name is connected to the alleged "abuse history" and "violation" of Shiloh's victim's rights, according to the insider," writes the Fox News.

The "Daily Mail" also reports that the 18-year-old does not plan to take any other legal steps related to her father.
