Brad Pitt devastated by his biological daughter's "betrayal", Angelina Jolie indifferently ignored

The fact that Shiloh filed to remove Brad Pitt's last name on his 18th birthday left the actor extremely heartbroken because his children were increasingly alienated. Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, was unaware of her daughter's actions.

On May 31, TMZ reported that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt — the biological daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — celebrated her 18th birthday by filing to remove her father's last name "Pitt" from her name. Shiloh's request to change her name was filed on her birthday and has been granted. The source said her new legal name, if adopted, would be Shiloh Jolie.

Actor Brad Pitt is said to be upset when his 18-year-old biological daughter Shiloh filed a court application to remove his surname as well as the children's increasing alienation from their father. "He was aware of Shiloh's change of last name and was heartbroken," the source told People magazine. "Brad was overjoyed when Shiloh was born. He always wanted a daughter."

The source added that being separated from his children was never easy for Brad: "The distance from his children makes him very sad even though he is still happy with Ines (his current girlfriend). Brad always loved and missed his children. The whole process was really tough for Brad and his whole family."

According to ET, Angelina Jolie was unaware of her daughter's application to drop her father's last name because Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself. "Angelina doesn't know and can't speak out about this," the source said.

People also quoted other sources as saying Shiloh had changed her last name herself and hired a lawyer to help her do so legally. The source added that accusations of Brad Pitt of domestic violence were one of the reasons that motivated Shiloh to make this decision.

The removal of Shiloh's father's surname caught the public by surprise. Previously, Shiloh had planned to move in with her father in Los Feliz, California, after turning 18. So Shiloh's sudden turn of his back, removing his father's last name from the name caused a stir. Netizens suspect that the relationship between Shiloh and her biological father is not good enough to live together or Brad Pitt - Shiloh has recently had a conflict so big that it affects emotionally. Currently, Brad Pitt has not commented on the above information.

Shiloh was born in 2006, the first biological daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Shiloh has a talent for choreography and now works as a dancer. After growing up, she cut her hair short, pursuing a tomboy image. Shiloh officially turned 18 on May 27. At this milestone, she, along with her siblings Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara, are not bound by any custody agreement. Therefore, they are not affected by the custody battle between their parents and have the right to decide their own lives.

Shiloh isn't Brad Pitt's only child to drop his father's surname. Youngest daughter Vivienne, 15, also enrolled as Vivienne Jolie in the Broadway play The Outsiders, for which she worked as a production assistant, which premiered in May. Late last year, Zahara's adopted daughter, 18, introduced her name at college as Zahara Marley Jolie.

The three daughters changed their last names after years of Brad Pitt's relationship with his children was said to be strained. Since their divorce in 2016, Brad Pitt has never appeared publicly with any children. He shares 6 children with Angelina (including three adopted children, three biological children).

The insider said: "Brad has always tried to have the best relationship with his children. It was very difficult for him. There were long periods of time when Brad didn't get to see the kids."

In a recent court filing regarding the Miraval estate dispute in France by "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," a former family security guard Jolie-Pitt accused Angelina of encouraging the children to distance themselves from their father during Brad's visits.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been together since 2005, married in 2014. The children all stayed with Angelina Jolie after the Hollywood star divorced in 2016.
