Shiloh found a lawyer herself and paid for the lawyer. Angelina Jolie admitted that she did not know her daughter’s plan in advance.
On July 19, Shiloh posted an article in the Los Angeles Times officially announcing that she would remove her father’s surname “Pitt”. Shiloh’s action is considered a “heavy psychological blow” to actor Brad Pitt.
Currently, 5/6 children of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have announced or made moves to remove the surname “Pitt” from their names. According to a source close to the case, the children took action together to show support for their mother in the legal battle with their father.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been pursuing a lawsuit over ownership of a wine farm in France for several years. Brad Pitt filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife, claiming that she violated their mutual agreement by secretly selling 50% of the wine farm to someone else without consulting him. In this lawsuit, Brad Pitt is winning.
According to a source from Page Six, Peter Levine (Shiloh’s lawyer) denied that the daughter of the famous Hollywood couple bought newspaper ads to announce her abandonment of her father’s surname.

“Shiloh Jolie did not place any advertisements in the announcement of the name change. The newspapers that published this information were not accurate. As Shiloh’s lawyer, I was forced to make the name change public because California law requires it. Anyone who wants to change their name must do so. The legal notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, in accordance with the law,” said Mr. Levine.
Attorney Levine also revealed that Shiloh’s decision was made by herself. The young girl did not want to keep the double surname Jolie-Pitt because it was related to the sad events in her life. However, attorney Levine did not specify the events.
Currently, public opinion is quite fiercely debating Shiloh’s decision. Some opinions say that Angelina Jolie is the one behind the decisions of her children. Many people criticize the Dark Fairy star for manipulating her children’s psychology, causing them to increasingly distance themselves from their biological father.
However, Angelina repeatedly asserted that she did not know her daughter’s intentions, and Shiloh herself sought out and paid for a lawyer to remove her surname “Pitt”.
Angelina Jolie herself has a history of removing her father’s surname. In 2002, the Hollywood star filed a lawsuit to remove the word “Voight”, the surname of her father – actor Jon Voight, from her name and use the middle name “Jolie” as her surname.
As for Brad Pitt, right after his children’s actions, the Hollywood actor also made a notable move. On July 20, he affirmed that he would continue to pursue the lawsuit over a winery dispute in France with his ex-wife.
Brad Pitt demanded $67 million in compensation. Sources said that the famous actor decided to fight Angelina Jolie after his ex-wife sent an ultimatum that was disadvantageous to Pitt on July 17.
Recently, Brad Pitt has almost lost contact with Shiloh and his adult children. He still has the right to visit twins Knox and Vivienne, but the number of times he sees them is limited because he is busy filming in Europe.
Shiloh is the first biological daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. She was born in 2006, nearly a year after the Hollywood couple went public with their relationship. Among Brad and Angelina’s children, Shiloh has received special attention from the media since her birth.
Last April, there was information that Shiloh wanted to reconcile and move back in with Brad Pitt when she turned 18. A source from Life & Style also confirmed that Shiloh is the only child who supports Brad Pitt, always trying to reconcile with her father.
“Shiloh just wants a complete and happy family. She loves both her father and mother. She understands that things are not the same anymore, but Shiloh’s dream is for her parents to be friends instead of the way they are now,” said a source from Life & Style.
InTouch also revealed: “Shiloh has always loved and is Pitt’s little girl. She has a passion for art and architecture. These are things she got from her father. They have a special bond, love talking about the environment, classic movies and books.”
A close source also revealed that Shiloh was not satisfied with the way her mother and siblings treated Brad Pitt. However, everything changed completely last May after Shiloh turned 18.
Shiloh is a girl with personality. She used to appear with a masculine bob, men’s clothes instead of feminine outfits, long flowing hair. Both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt respect their daughter’s personal preferences and do not force her to do what they want.
Fans of the star couple are placing high hopes on Shiloh as the successor to her parents’ acting career. Shiloh is passionate about the arts, has studied dance for several years, and has shared her performances on social media many times and attracted millions of views.
A source close to the Jolie family revealed: “Shiloh loves music and freeing her body, especially free dancing
