The author states that 'Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself,' implying that this was a recent decision. However, the article also mentions that Shiloh filed legal documents to drop Pitt from her last name on her 18th birthday in 2016, which was when she turned 18 and could legally make this decision without her parents' consent. This discrepancy between the reported timeline and the actual timeline is an example of selective reporting.
