As their messy divorces continues, another one of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children appears to be distancing themselves from her famous dad.
Jolie and Pitt have been locked in a bitter legal battle following the breakdown of their marriage in 2016, and the most recent claims come regarding the sale of a French winery they purchased when they were together.
New papers submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court in April contained a lot of bombshell accusations of Pitt – something the actor has categorically denied.
And while all that is going on in the background, Pitt is seemingly losing contact with some of his children whom he shares with Jolie.

Earlier this week, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt celebrated her 18th birthday, and did so by dropping the ‘Pitt’ from her name, according to TMZ.
The name change is yet to be legally granted, but the 18-year-old hopes she will be known simply as ‘Shiloh Jolie’ in the near future.
The report comes just days after another one of the former couple’s kids made a similar move.
15-year-old Vivienne helped her mom produce the new musical, The Outsiders. As per PEOPLE, the former couple’s daughter was listed as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill, instead of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.
It remains unclear at this time whether Vivienne has legally changed her name.
Funnily enough, Shiloh and Vivienne are not the first of Jolie and Pitt’s children to change their name.
The former couple’s eldest daughter Zahara introduced herself as ‘Zahara Marley Jolie’ in a video shared by Essence last November.
In recents weeks, Jolie has accused her former partner of ‘unrelenting efforts to control’, as well as accusing Pitt of trying to ‘bleed her dry’.

“Angie says Brad is bleeding her dry – but it looks like she wants to bleed him dry,” a source familiar with the situation added.
“Far from being out to ruin his ex, it looks like Brad has bent over backwards to support Angie and help her out financially in spite of her appearing to be so vindictive.”
However, the Daily Mail reported that Jolie’s relationship with Pitt has helped enrich her by close to $100 million. The paper also reported that this money has come through loans, child support and gifts.
Despite this messy divorce going on for a while now, an end does not exactly look in sight.
