[FONT="]Paul Manafort’s daughter is dropping the family last name, per reporting by the New York Post.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Paul Manafort's 36 year-old daughter, Jessica Manafort, filed paperwork with the Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday to legally change her name from Jessica Manafort to Jess Bond. Yes, you read that right.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Bond. Jess Bond.[/FONT]
[FONT="]In the filing she said: “I would like my new name to be Jessica Anne Bond, in place of my present name."[/FONT]
[FONT="]Now for people jumping the gun and assuming that this last name selection is somehow related to the movie and literary James Bond franchise - based on a fictional British secret service agent - calm down. Bond is actually her mom's maiden name. She reports that the last name “more closely suits [her] profession."[/FONT]
[FONT="]What profession is that? Well, she is an independent filmmaker and actually just had a new film, "Rosy", come out in August.[/FONT]
[FONT="]She also addressed the elephant in the room - her dad and the reputation the name comes along with - stating that she wants to change her name “to separate myself and my work from a public perception that has nothing to do with the person that I am.” She had also previously told the Los Angeles Times: “I am a passionate liberal and a registered Democrat and this has been difficult for me. Although I am ‘the daughter of,’ I am very much my own person and hopefully people can realize that.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]I wonder how Paul Manafort feels about this. I guess it shouldn't affect him much, seeing as he is languishing in a prison cell for the foreseeable future and is only known by his inmate number - 45343.[/FONT]
