The lawyer for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh has made a new statement about her "important decision" to drop her father's last name.
The 18-year-old applied to change her last name on her birthday this year, May 27. This was publicly announced in a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times.
Shiloh's lawyer, Peter Levin, said she "made an independent and important decision after painful events," adding that she was "simply following the legal process" in releasing the information. "Shiloh Jolie did not run an 'ad' announcing a name change or any inaccurate press reports," Levine explained to People.
“As Shiloh's attorney, I am required to post a legal notice because California law requires anyone who wants to change their name to do so. This legal notice has been published in the Los Angeles Times, as required."
According to recent reports, Pitt has "little to no contact" with his older children.
A month after Shiloh filed to drop his last name, a source told People that Pitt's relationship with his older children remains strained. “He practically does not communicate with adult children. In recent months, his interactions with younger children have become more limited due to his filming schedule,” the insider shared.
