Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, upon reaching the age of 18, has made a legal move to remove “Pitt” from her last name. This decision, reportedly reflected in documents filed on May 27th, underscores the complexities surrounding the ongoing divorce saga of her parents, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The rift in Pitt’s relationship with his children allegedly stems from the tumultuous divorce proceedings initiated by Jolie in 2016, where irreconcilable differences were cited. Initially, Jolie sought sole custody of their brood of six children. However, in a ruling made by a private judge in May 2021, joint custody was decreed.
Shiloh’s request to change her surname echoes the sentiments of at least two of her siblings. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt was notably listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in a Playbill, while Zahara Jolie-Pitt was introduced as “Zahara Marley Jolie” at a recent event. These alterations suggest a deliberate move by the children to distance themselves from their father’s name.
Amidst the legal wrangling, the battle over Château Miraval, the winery jointly owned by Pitt and Jolie, has become a focal point. Pitt has accused Jolie of actively undermining his relationship with their children by allegedly influencing them to shun him during custody visits. This accusation was detailed in court documents submitted by a former security guard, Tony Webb. In these documents, Webb alleges that Jolie’s aide sought to prevent two security guards from testifying in the custody dispute.
The Château Miraval saga has further deepened with disputes over non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) related to its sale. Jolie contends that she withdrew from the sale due to Pitt’s insistence on NDA requirements. This disagreement has intensified the legal fray between the former couple.
The unfolding narrative of the Jolie-Pitt family saga continues to captivate public attention, offering glimpses into the complexities of celebrity divorces and the intricate dynamics of family relationships under the spotlight.
