Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh, apparently wants nothing to do with him -- or at the very least, nothing to do with his last name ... 'cause she's dropping his surname officially.

00:00Eight years ago, Brad and Angelina separated.
00:05There are still fumes from this divorce.
00:09I would even say a fire still is burning in this divorce.
00:14And the latest evidence of that is their 18-year-old Shiloh
00:20has just made a big decision.
00:22She literally just turned 18.
00:25And one of her first moves as an 18-year-old, as an adult,
00:29was to 86 the name Pitt from her name.
00:32That shows you just how seemingly deep
00:35the resentment is for her father that it was actually,
00:37and on Memorial Day, Harvey, was the first thing
00:40that she did when she turned 18.
00:42Now, it's not official yet, because the judges
00:44sort of got to put the old rubber stamp on it.
00:46But it's going to happen.
00:48Yeah, but filing a name change petition on your 18th birthday
00:51is to send a message to Brad Pitt
00:53that they are on the outs with him entirely.
00:56The first move she made as an 18-year-old
00:57wasn't to go vote or anything like that.
00:59She filed to drop Pitt from her name.
01:01And we always knew that he had issues
01:03with maybe the other kids.
01:04There was the incident on the plane in 2016.
01:07But apparently, it's with all of the children.
01:09And I know that Brad has said that maybe Angelina
01:13is behind poisoning the kids to him.
01:15But this is evidence that an 18-year-old, an adult,
01:17has also filed to drop this name.
01:19Yeah, Shiloh is the one who has gone to make it official.
01:22But I don't believe Maddox uses the name Pitt.
01:24Some of the other kids don't use the last name Pitt either.
01:27So it seems to be prevalent with all the children.
01:29So the way this happened, and Derek just referenced it,
01:31that in 2016, there was an incident on a private jet
01:35that was coming back to the States.
01:37And Brad got into it in some form with one of the kids.
01:42And Angelina had contacted Children's Services
01:47to see if she could strip custody away from him.
01:50Children's Services said there wasn't anything there,
01:52and they closed the investigation down.
01:54She has gone to the FBI.
01:56She's gone to family court.
01:58And she's tried to deny him custody.
02:01She lost that, and they gave Brad 50-50 custody,
02:06joined custody with her.
02:07So she has been frustrated in the legal system.
02:10They're fighting over the winery still, though, Harv.
02:14And even in the winery case, which
02:16has nothing to do with the divorce,
02:17she's brought up some of the incidents
02:21that she says occurred during the marriage.
02:23So Angelina is angry about all of this.
02:27And what has happened, at least according to him,
02:33is that even though he has custody,
02:37it's effectively nullified by the fact
02:39the kids don't want to see him.
02:41He's saying it's because she's poisoned them toward him.
02:44But we don't know.
02:45We just know that he doesn't really
02:47have a relationship with them.
02:48Harvey, can you remember a Hollywood split
02:50that has lasted this long, where the rancor level is still
02:53so high?
02:53I remember Kevin Costner and Christine
02:55started very, very rocky during that divorce.
02:58But then they settled.
02:59This has now gone on for years.
03:00I mean, I know the kids play a strong role in that.
03:03But I haven't seen a divorce that
03:04has maintained this level of nastiness for this long.
03:07I haven't either.
03:08And again, it's eight years.
03:11And when you read like this, there's
03:13a winery where they owned it jointly.
03:16She wants to sell her share.
03:18He objects to who she wants to sell it to.
03:20And yet the divorce comes up in the winery case,
03:23which really has nothing to do with the divorce.
03:26But it is just so bitter.
03:30It is so bitter.
03:31And look, the result of two people at war like this,
03:35you see it with the kids, where there's
03:37a wall now between them and one of the parents.
03:42Hi, I'm Simone from Minnesota.
03:44And I feel like for Shiloh and her siblings,
03:47with their lack of using their father's name,
03:49they may just prefer Jolie.
03:51I know that we all know the Pitt name.
03:53It's very known here in the States.
03:56But maybe they just prefer Jolie.
03:58Maybe it stands out more.
04:00And I feel with them all growing up, becoming adults,
04:03and gearing up for their solo careers
04:06without their parents controlling everything,
04:09they just may want a different name
04:11that stands out to them more.
04:13Yeah, I think it's deeper than the name.
04:15Yeah, it'd be better if that were the case.
04:16On a happier note, I just read this today
04:19that Carol Burnett, they're thinking of doing, I guess,
04:23a biopic on her.
04:25And she had two choices for the person she wants to play her.
04:32One of them is Angelina Jolie.
04:33Wow.
04:34Yeah.
04:35I mean, don't ask me.
04:38I know.
04:38I love Carol Burnett, but what a come up for Carol Burnett
04:41if she gets Angelina Jolie.
04:42Wow.
04:43Wait, wait.
04:44Carol Burnett.
04:45In her day?
04:46I'm sorry, Angelina Jolie is a huge actress.
04:49Carol Burnett is on that level, Derek.
04:51No, no, no.
04:52On that level, I'm saying as a stunning beauty.
04:55I mean, Carol Burnett is beautiful as well,
04:57but Angelina Jolie playing you is a hell of a nice thing.
05:00Would you like a shovel to dig yourself out of that hole?
05:03I'm doing fine down here.
05:04I'll just sink in there.
05:05All right.
05:06All right.
05:07All right.
05:08All right.
05:08All right.
05:09All right.
