18-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was first spotted after hearing to legally drop dad Brad Pitt’s last name is DELAYED
After it was announced that a court hearing to formally remove the last name «Pitt» from Shiloh Jolie-Pitt had been postponed, the actress made her public debut.
On Wednesday afternoon, the 18-year-old daughter of former Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went out on her own in Los Angeles.
Shiloh wore a bright yellow sneaker and black trousers along with a black hoodie. Her older brother Pax, 20, was hurt in an e-bike accident earlier this week.
A brown spring headband held back her short blonde hair from her makeup-free face.
The adolescent was leaving a friend’s house in the afternoon with her iPhone in hand and another jacket slung over her arm.
Shiloh’s lawyer revealed earlier this week that a technical error had caused a court hearing in her continuing effort to change her official last name to be postponed.
About two months ago, Shiloh declared her intention to remove Pitt from her name upon turning eighteen on May 27. This most recent event occurred after that.
‘Unfortunately, the court was unable to finish the background check ahead of today’s hearing, thus the hearing was rescheduled for August 19,’ said Peter Levine, Jolie-Pitt’s attorney, in a statement given to People on Monday.
Levine gave an explanation of the procedure’s workings and the reason behind the postponement of Monday’s Los Angeles Superior Court hearing.
Levine informed the source that «Shiloh’s hearing has been continued to a new date due to a clerical error, and everyone undergoing a name-change request needs to have a background check conducted by the court clerk.»
In addition to being parents to Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15, Jolie and Pitt separated in 2016 and have been settling the terms of their divorce in the eight years that have passed since then.
The Oscar-winning actor was «aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,» a person close to Pitt told People in June.
«The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad,» the insider continued. He is missing and loves his kids. It is quite depressing.
According to TMZ, Shiloh said earlier this month that she intended to follow state law and alter her legal name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie in a statement that was published in the Los Angeles Times.
A legal document has to be published in a newspaper one month in advance for a judge to approve a name change petition, according to People.
In June, an informant told Dailymail.com, «Shiloh paid for and hired her own attorney, so Angie is unable to speak for her.» However, if you’re wondering if this has anything to do with Shiloh’s victimization history or abuse past, then the answer is yes.
According to an FBI report on the dispute that was released in 2022, Jolie claimed that Pitt had physically abused her during a private jet ride in 2016 by shaking and pushing her.
Jolie reported to the FBI that Pitt had banged the ceiling of the aircraft several times and informed their kids that she was «f***ing up this family.» In the 2016 incident, Jolie told authorities that Pitt had spilt wine on a blanket she was using under her kids.
Following his divorce from his then-wife, 55-year-old Jennifer Aniston, in 2005, Pitt and Jolie started their highly publicized relationship.
After welcoming several children, Pitt and Jolie waited years to get legally married before becoming engaged in 2012 and getting married in 2014.
Jolie, who has starred in movies such as Maleficent, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Girl, Interrupted, filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 and was formally pronounced single three years later.
Since 2022, Pitt, the Hollywood actor known for movies such as Fight Club, Moneyball, and Once Upon a Time…, has been romantically associated with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.
