Their children decisively sided with their mother after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's marriage ended. Shiloh, now 18, wanted to emphasize her resentment towards her father. The actress had no idea about her child's decision, which involved 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 10 years, taking on the burden of raising many children. As often happens in the entertainment industry, the happiness they projected during public appearances masked the drama behind the doors of their California home. 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, media narratives often mention the actress's alleged dirty tricks, suggesting she used the children as bargaining chips in contentious negotiations with Brad. She secured a satisfactory result as the entire, mostly adult, group decisively cut ties with their father.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter changes her last name

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 turns out the 18-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 told "Entertainment Tonight".

With this move, Shiloh showed significant solidarity with her siblings. A few weeks ago, her younger sister was introduced as "Vivienne Jolie" in the American media, although this probably has not yet been legally confirmed. Additionally, 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, motivated by her disdain and enormous resentment towards Brad Pitt.
