Jessica Manafort filed name-change paperwork in the Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, according to multiple reports.

A judge has yet to approve the request.

The independent filmmaker has already used the name “Jess Bond” professionally with the release of the new film “Rosy,” and told the Los Angeles Times in July that she was pursuing a name change.

“I am a passionate liberal and a registered Democrat and this has been difficult for me,” she told the newspaper. “Although I am ‘the daughter of,’ I am very much my own person and hopefully people can realize that.”

Paul Manafort was found guilty last month on eight counts of tax fraud and bank fraud. He faces a second set of charges in a trial expected to begin later this month.
