Shiloh Jolie's Legal Name Change Stirs Media Response

Attorney clarifies legal process and criticizes inaccurate reporting on Shiloh's decision to drop 'Pitt' from her surname.

Shiloh Jolie filed to change her name on her 18th birthday, May 27, dropping 'Pitt' from her surname.
Attorney Peter Levine explained that the legal notice in the Los Angeles Times was a required step, not an advertisement.
The name change follows alleged abusive incidents involving Brad Pitt, which have strained family relationships.
Media outlets incorrectly reported that Shiloh took out an ad to announce the change, prompting Levine's clarification.
Brad Pitt is reportedly upset by the name change and has limited contact with his adult children.
