The split between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt happened nearly eight years ago, yet their ongoing dispute continues to affect their family. While most of their children side with Jolie, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and her younger brother Knox still maintain a relationship with their father. Shiloh, in particular, is now voicing her support for Pitt.

Shiloh Stands by Her Father
In the ongoing family feud, the children are increasingly making their voices heard. An insider told “Life & Style” that Shiloh feels sympathy for her father, Brad Pitt, because some of her siblings have distanced themselves from him. She doesn’t mean to hurt his feelings, showing empathy despite the tension. Although she idolizes her mother, Shiloh is trying to do what feels right for her.
A Persistent Dispute
The situation is different with her siblings. Recently, Vivienne reportedly dropped her father’s name, being listed as Vivienne Jolie in a Broadway program. This might indicate her stance in the family conflict, although it could also be a choice for her professional work. Meanwhile, Shiloh, too, has chosen to go by “Shi Jolie” on her private Instagram account, further distancing herself from her father’s name.
Harsh Accusations and Reconciliation Efforts
The family drama includes serious allegations. Angelina Jolie accused Brad Pitt of being violent during a 2016 flight, including choking one of the children. Such accusations paint a troubling picture, making the children’s distance from Pitt understandable. Despite these issues, Jolie reportedly does not want to drive a wedge between Pitt and their children, although she is not entirely supportive of Shiloh and Knox’s ongoing relationship with him.
Balancing Empathy and Allegiance
Shiloh’s decision to maintain a connection with her father reflects her compassion, even as she navigates the complex family dynamics. Her choice to remove Pitt’s last name from her social media handle shows her attempt to balance her empathy for her father with her allegiance to her mother and siblings. This delicate balance highlights the emotional challenges the children face in the midst of their parents’ prolonged conflict.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s stance demonstrates her unique position within her family’s ongoing dispute. Her empathy towards Brad Pitt, while still aligning closely with her mother, showcases the complexity of familial bonds. As the feud continues, the evolving relationships within the Jolie-Pitt family remain a poignant example of the lasting impacts of parental separation on children.
