It ’s get serious .
This story contains mention of domestic abuse.
Apparently,Angelina Joliecan’t speak about her daughter legally changing her last name despite her personal experience with the same scenario.
Angelina and Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh filed a request in court to drop Pitt from her hyphenated surname.
Angelina and Brad share six children — Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Shiloh, 18, Zahara, 19, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15.
According to legal documents obtained byPeople, Shiloh filed to drop her father’s last name on May 27, her 18th birthday.
However, Shiloh’s attempts to change her name are more severe than those of her siblings. Since she took legal matters into her own hands, her mother couldn’t speak on the matter.
According to a source obtained byET, “Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it.”
In the paperwork, Shiloh wishes to go by “Shiloh Jolie.” And while her mother can’t speak on it, she might have insight into the entire process since she did it herself.
Angelina Jolie, born Angelina Jolie Voight, is the daughter of actors Marcheline Bertrand andJon Voight.
For years, Angelina had an off-and-on estrangement with her famous father and finally petitioned the court to drop Voight from her surname legally.
Shiloh’s name change comes amid the ongoing legal battles of her parents. In 2016, Angelina filed for divorce from Brad and requested sole physical custody of their six children.
And that’s the latest. BuzzFeed has reached out to Angelina’s reps for comment — we’ll let you know if we hear back.
