The Name Game

September 30, 2021 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] There was recently some chatter about the child of two famous parents wanting to change their name.

Actress Melanie Griffith – best known for Working Girl – has one child by each of her three ex-husbands.

Alexander Bauer is her son with her former husband, Steven Bauer.

Dakota Johnson – who you may know from Fifty Shades of Grey – is her daughter with her former husband, actor Don Johnson.

Finally, Stella Banderas Griffith is her daughter with another former husband, actor Antonio Banderas.

Stella has petitioned the court to change her name.

She wants to change her name from Stella del Carmen Banderas Griffith to Stella del Carmen Banderas.

While Stella says that she is doing it to simply shorten her name and there is no animosity towards her mother, it has to sting a little bit for Melanie. After all, her child is choosing to keep her middle name… but dropping Griffith from her last name.

With that in mind, let’s talk about some children of two other actors who want to change their name to deliberately distance themselves from one of their parents!

Our famous Actor and Actress had several children together and were married. The children all have both parents’ names as part of their legal names.

Then came the divorce. It was rough and contentious and dragged out for years.

Since Actress had the children with her most of the time… the children began to ally with her. The kids didn’t want to spend their weekends or their birthdays with Actor. Some of them refused to see Actor or even speak with him. It was ugly.

And now one or more of the children want to drop the Actor’s name from their legal name!

Basically, they want to erase him as if he didn’t raise them and doesn’t even exist.

Of course, she would love it. This is all a game to her.

    The Jolie-Pitt children. I hope this isn’t Brad’s bio children wanting this. I don’t think Maddox has ever liked Brad, as Brad took Angie’s attention from him. Angelina dropped her Dad’s last name, so I can see her encouraging this. I am so opposed to the Parental Alienation she learned from her mom and is now doing to Brad and the children.

      I. Agree. Jol.- Pitt, it’s very sad did they do this to their parents all of them mentioned in the paper this week. That should sting a little bit. I like to know why they want to do it to me they can they come from good households. If they came from a very very abusive non-caring family with no values and other things I could see it sit.

    Obviously Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Sad…just sad. If the kids are over 18 there is nothing anyone can do. Only 2 of the 5 are his biological children…so the other 3 probably don’t feel obligated. The 2 bio children should keep their father’s name… Sad – just sad. And, yes, this probably makes Jolie happy. It’s the ultimate and final hurt.

      Technically of the 6, only the oldest was adopted before Pitt came into the picture so the other 2 adopted kids were also “his”. Aside from the underage part, I would technically assume only the oldest may drop his name, the other 5 were all part of the family while they were a couple

    I’m dizzy from reading the Griffith-Bauer-Johnson-Banderas lineage but will guess this to be about the Jolie-Pitt clan. Most of the kids are old enough to change their name but they’re also old enough to choose who they want to live with. This has dragged on way too long.

    Angie and the Jolie-Pitts she has brainwashed.
    I feel for Brad having to deal with the parental alienation. It must be an absolute nightmare trying to navigate divorce and custody with this narcissist, she doesn’t care about the kids she’s just trying to destroy Brad, it’s what they do – love bomb, golden period, devalue, discard, destroy. Although I’m sure he loves his kids there must be a big part of him that rues the day he fell for her performance and blew his whole life up

  34. DreamyVelvet says

    October 1, 2021 at 2:51 am

    Jolie-Pitt. It’s deeply ugly. By all accounts, Brad was found to not be abusive, it was more a shouting match. He immediately addressed his sobriety, got counseling and Angie did.. nothing….to address her own toxic behavior. The kids that want to legally change their name are Maddox and Pax. They can when they’re of legal age. It’s tragic, though, that she’s gloating. She’s not well.

    • Heathen Goddess says

      October 1, 2021 at 2:23 pm

      Agreed. I believe Zahara has also turned her back on Brad.
      I am disgusted by Angelina’s behavior post breakup. Those poor children will need years of therapy to straighten out their thoughts. That type of alienation lingers for years after they become adults. Sometimes it never leaves. I know. I was the child of divorce and have also been divorced with a child.
      Angelina did everything wrong when it came to the needs of the children verses her desires. I

    • dinamarieburnett says

      October 1, 2021 at 2:40 pm

      Maddox is 20 years old and Pax will be 18 in November. They can change their name if they want. However, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Brad is only required to support these kids until they turn 18. Can’t pick and choose and expect to be on the gravy train.

  35. Blackorchid85 says

    October 1, 2021 at 2:35 am

    They shouldn’t be allowed if they are underage, but I’m guessing it’s Maddox that wants to change it. They’ll probably still expect to gain his inheritance though!

    • justcurious says

      October 3, 2021 at 8:55 pm

      I agree. And perhaps the children aren’t wanting his name after thinking about how Brad still choose to do a movie with a director even though he knew that monster had been sexually predatory/abusive toward Angelina? After all, Jen famously stated Brad was “missing a sensitivity chip” at the time of that magazine cover he did, and young people have a strong sense of idealism, so I could see some of her children having such an outlook 🤷‍♀️

    Angelina Jolie and Brad’s kids. I think it’s disgusting the way she is encouraging a dysfunctional relationship with their father, especially given how her relationship with her own father turned out. You would think that she would want to foster as healthy of a relationship as possible between Brad and his kids, not deepen the divide.
