Recently, Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt surprised many people by abandoning her father's surname. And the reasons behind this decision were finally revealed today.
On May 27, local time, Pitt and Jolie’s daughter Shiloh submitted a petition to the Los Angeles court on her 18th birthday, requesting that her father’s surname be removed from her name, and this action was Hilo hired a lawyer out of her own pocket.
So what caused Shiloh to decide to draw a line with her father? According to the Daily Mail, this is related to the custody battle between Pitt and Jolie and the domestic violence incident involving Pitt on a private jet in 2016.
reported that Shiloh, now 18, was one of the children who wanted to testify at the hearing in 2021 (when she was 14 years old), but Pitt at the time tried to prevent her from testifying. Julie unsuccessfully petitioned to have the children testify. That means she can't testify about her custody wishes, although Shiloh is keen to talk about what happened on a private jet in 2016.
The domestic violence incident that occurred in 2016 was the trigger for Pitt and Jolie's divorce. The two were returning home from a two-week vacation with their six children. A report into the incident revealed that Pitt had a violent confrontation with Jolie during the trip, leaving the children shaking with fear. Maddox, the eldest son, tried to stop Pitt, but was also attacked, but was fortunately protected by Jolie. Although Jolie later accused Pitt of physically assaulting them on the plane, he has always denied this. It was this incident that caused a huge rift between Peter and the children.
Pitt and Jolie have six children together: 22-year-old Maddox, 20-year-old Pax, 19-year-old Zahara, 18-year-old Shiloh, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne . Before Shiloh applied to remove her patronymic surname, daughters Vivienne and Zahara also chose not to use their patronymic surname. Parks once posted a rant calling Pitt a "world-class jerk" and a "despicable person." Maddox and Pitt drifted apart due to the plane incident.
While Pete is saddened by his deepening rift with his children, he still hopes to reconcile with them. Maybe it broke Pete's heart, so he was open to expanding his family. "Daily Mail" said that in getting along with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 34, Pitt, 60, felt that she "would make a good mother. She is patient, easy-going, and has a great sense of humor." If Ines wants children, he agrees 100%."
In any case, in this long war between Pitt and Jolie, the children are the ones who are hurt the most.
