Hello everyone, today, let’s dive into the latest twist in the saga of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s family drama. The news that’s causing quite a stir involves their daughter, Shiloh, and her decision to drop the “Pitt” from her last name as soon as she turned 18. This move has reportedly left Brad Pitt quite upset.
A source close to the actor shared with People that Brad was deeply hurt by Shiloh’s decision. “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,” the source revealed. This move isn’t just about a name; it seems to reflect broader issues within the family.
For those who might not remember, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s relationship began with a spark on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” in 2003. The chemistry was undeniable, but it was complicated by the fact that Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. After his divorce in 2005, Pitt and Jolie became Hollywood’s “it couple,” and they eventually got married in 2014. Together, they share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, and the twins, Knox and Vivienne, 15.
Jolie had adopted Maddox and Zahara before her relationship with Pitt, but he later adopted them too. Their family grew with the birth of Shiloh in 2006, followed by the adoption of Pax from Vietnam, and the birth of the twins in 2008.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Shiloh isn’t the only one making name changes. Vivienne, working as a producer assistant on the Broadway musical “The Outsiders,” uses “Jolie” as her surname in the Playbill. Zahara, who recently joined the Mu Pi chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, also introduces herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”
Why are these changes happening? Most insiders trace it back to an incident on a family flight from Paris to Los Angeles in 2016. According to a complaint filed by Jolie, Pitt allegedly grabbed her by the head and shook her, then choked one of the children who intervened. This shocking behavior reportedly included verbal attacks, physical aggression, and pouring alcohol on his family.
These allegations became public in 2022, and although Pitt’s reps denied the abuse claims, admitting only to inappropriate behavior, it seems the damage was done. The court documents detailed a harrowing experience for Jolie and the children, painting a picture of a very troubled family dynamic.
Pitt’s older son, Pax, didn’t hold back his feelings either. On a private Instagram post in 2020, he called his adoptive father a “world class a**hole” and a “f***ing awful human being.” He criticized Pitt for his lack of empathy and accused him of making their lives “a constant hell.”
Amidst these personal battles, Pitt and Jolie are still locked in a legal fight over the custody of their two youngest children and the ownership of their French vineyard, Chateau Miraval. Although they were declared legally single in 2019, their divorce remains unresolved due to these ongoing issues.
So, there you have it, folks. The family drama between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continues to unfold, with their children making significant moves to distance themselves from their father. It’s a story that’s far from over, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on how it all develops. Stay tuned!
