Shiloh Jolie-Pitt filed legal documents to drop Pitt from her surname on her 18th birthday.
The reasons behind this decision are not clear but may be a personal choice or influenced by family tension.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, has made a significant decision regarding her last name as she turns 18. According to multiple sources, Shiloh has filed legal documents to officially drop Pitt from her surname.
This move comes after two of her siblings, Zahara and Vivienne Jolie, have also stopped using the Pitt name. The reasons behind this decision are not clear but it may be a personal choice rather than influenced by their parents.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been going through a lengthy legal battle over the sale of their French winery, Chateau Miraval. This ongoing dispute may have contributed to the tension between Shiloh and her parents, leading her to make this decision.
Shiloh is not the only one of Pitt and Jolie's children who has distanced herself from her father's last name. Vivienne and Zahara have also stopped using it in their names. None of the six children share Pitt as a surname, making it an interesting development in their family dynamics.
The decision to drop Pitt from her name was made on Shiloh's 18th birthday, which suggests that it may be a personal choice rather than influenced by her parents. It remains to be seen how this will affect the ongoing legal battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The article contains a few informal fallacies. It reports on the actions of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children without their direct quotes or explanations for their decisions, which makes it difficult to determine their true intentions. This creates an opportunity for readers to make assumptions about the children's motivations based on the author's portrayal. Additionally, there is a potential appeal to authority when mentioning that none of Jolie and Pitt's children have explained their decision for removing Pitt from their last name, implying that the reason must be significant since they haven't spoken publicly about it themselves. Lastly, there is an example of inflammatory rhetoric in the quote from Tony Webb: “encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits.” This phrase suggests a deliberate attempt by Jolie to alienate Pitt from his children.
