I just saw an article that their youngest daughter (Vivienne) has dropped “Pitt” from her last name. She’s 15. My assessment (aka total speculation) is:
Brad Pitt was a terrible dad. Uninterested in his kids, self absorbed, abusive when drunk. At the same time, for a 15 year old to drop her dad’s name - knowing it will make news and be messy - she must really hate him. In a way that maybe a bitter ex wife would encourage. Dropping “Pitt” in such a public way seems calculated and vindictive and not something most 15 year olds do. It seems like something a kid wouldn’t do without a parent egging them on. So team neither parent - hope these kids have some healthy role models in their life beyond Brad and Angie. |

She’s listed as Vivienne Jolie in the playbill for the play that Angelina produced? What a shocker. It seems like something petty that Angelina would do to get another dig in at Brad. She’s so nasty and spiteful. The whole family probably could have reconciled by now if it wasn’t for Angelina always privately and publicly attacking the father of her children and doing everything to cut him out of the kids’ lives. |
+1 he made terrible mistakes but got clean and did his best to rebuild with the kids, but she wasn’t having it. I think the root of this is more financial than anything else. If he had been very generous from the moment they split, I bet things would have gone more smoothly. |
He was very generous financially, even when he was not allowed to visit his children in violation of the custody agreement. |
They have a hyphenated name and go back in forth using it. Zahara dropped his name for her announcement but used it doing the dinner for the same event. Tabloids know nothing about the kids. Just a week ago they were saying Shiloh was close to him and moving but now they have been estranged. It's no one's business but theirs. |
Not really. He paid for security and therapists (both expensive) but that’s pretty much it. He loaned rather than gifted her money toward her new home (aka home for the kids), meanwhile a lot of her money was tied up in Miraval. She sued because he wasn’t paying meaningful child support. He could have done better, just contributed more fuel to the fire. |
I’m sure he was following the advice of his lawyers and financial advisors but it does seem money was one of several things she was furious about. |
Why would he want to be generous to her? She went scorched Earth from the moment she left him, trying to see destroy his reputation and career by leaking information about the plane flight to TMZ, People, etc. She fought his efforts to gain custody and part of the winery to a subsidiary he didn’t want to be in business with. I wouldn’t be generous towards a person who treated me that way, so I’m not surprised that he didn’t want to be either. |

Brad Pitt is worth around 400 million. These kids are being stupid, as usual, with kids and teens. |
Not everything is about money. |
Didn't he give her the family home? And then didn't want to give her money to buy a different house to move the kids away? |
Most things are, especially in Hollywood. Brad will be the best daddy ever when these kids need a job. |
