Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie’s daughter Zahara’s appears to diss dad in new footage
It’s been a rocky few years for the family since Brangelina split – and new footage of their daughter, Zahara, has hinted at ongoing tension.
Zahara Jolie-Pitt is taking pride in her last name — well, one of them.
When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter declared herself during this week’s Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction ceremony, she shouted, “Zahara Marley Jolie.”
The 18-year-old noticeably left out the second half of her last name during the introduction, seemingly shading Pitt, reports Page Six.
Social media users called attention to the apparent diss via Twitter.
“I wasn’t gonna say anything, but I definitely peeped that Zahara left Pitt off her last name,” one wrote.
Another pointed out, “Oh Zahara said her last name is Jolie, not Jolie-Pitt.”
The fan praised “single” mum Jolie, gushing, “Zahara shouting her last name ‘Jolie’ with all her might and stopping is so pleasing to me, we love to see it.”
Others noted Us Weekly’s previous reporting claiming that Maddox, the former couple’s 22-year-old son, “doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie.”
The actor did not “deserve a mention” in the milestone moment, according to a third user.
In 2021, the insider alleged, “Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”
Jolie, 48, and Pitt, 59, were together from 2005 until their 2016 separation and share four other kids — Pax, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
Their custody battle remains ongoing despite the exes being declared legally single in 2019,
As their divorce proceedings have continued to play out, details emerged in 2022 about the alleged private jet incident that contributed to the breakdown of their marriage.
Jolie’s lawyers claimed that Fury star “choked one of the children and struck another in the face” during the confrontation.
However, the FBI was not expected to reopen the case after previously investigating it “thoroughly” and choosing “not to bring any charges” against Pitt, a source told Page Six in 2022.
The insider went on to call Jolie’s claims a “smear campaign” against her ex-husband.
Although the Emmy winner has not publicly addressed the incident, he has made rare statements about his kids in recent years.
In August 2022, Pitt congratulated Zahara when she started her freshman year at Spelman College.
“She’s so smart,” he told Vanity Fair at the time. “She’s going to flourish even more at college. It’s an exciting and beautiful time to find her own way and pursue her interests.
“I’m so proud. Where does the time go, right? They grow up too fast. It brings a tear to the eye.”
