A lawyer for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh is speaking out regarding the 18-year-old’s decision to drop “Pitt” from her surname, making her name Shiloh Jolie instead of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. Shiloh filed to make this change on May 27—which marked her 18th birthday—and it was publicly announced with a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times shortly after. Peter Levine, Shiloh’s attorney, spoke out recently about Shiloh’s “significant decision,” and said it happened after “painful events,” per People.
“The media should be more careful in their reporting, especially when covering a young adult who has made an independent and significant decision following painful events and is merely following legal process,” he said.
