At odds with her father, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has been trying to change her name for 4 years

He decided not to bear his father’s surname anymore. Agreed TMZ , Shiloh Jolie-Pitt “filed paperwork requesting a name change, specifically dropping the “Pitt” from her last name and simply wanting to go by “Shiloh Jolie” on May 30, three days after her 18th birthday.”

However, according to Daily Mail: , this request had already been made four years earlier during his parents’ divorce hearing. The source told the British daily. “The name change begins with a custody battle and Shiloh’s belief that her rights as a victim have been violated.”

Recall that on September 14, 2016, the entire Jolie-Pitt family, Brad, Angelina and their six children, left Nice for Los Angeles on their plane. But during this flight, Brad Pitt, drunk, flies furiously and decides to attack his wife and children. During this argument, he allegedly “poured beer” on his ex-wife and “beer and red wine” on the children.
The reported facts are not limited to this. According to Angelina Jolie, the actor was hit. He allegedly “grabbed her by the head and shook her” before “pushing her against the (plane) lavatory wall.”
At that point, “the children intervened,” according to the court document. An enraged Brad Pitt then “choked one of the kids and punched the other in the face.” Some “asked to stop”, others “cried”, we learn.
