Brad Pitt recently shared his experience about his AA meetings post-divorce with Angelina Jolie. The “F1” star appeared on the latest episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast, where he told Dax Shepard about his time with Alcoholics Anonymous. However, a source claimed that his ex-wife allegedly has some thoughts about the interview. Reportedly, Pitt’s confession felt like a “PR” to her.
Angelina Jolie believes a podcast won’t fix years of ‘mess,’ says ‘source’
Brad Pitt opened up about his “difficult time” when he hit rock bottom after his separation from Angelina Jolie. In an interview with Dax Shepard on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, he revealed that he was on his “knees” during his journey to become sober. Further, he shared his experience during his AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings.
While fans sympathized with Pitt’s confession, his ex-wife might not think the same. According to ShuterScoop, a source said, “To her, it feels like PR — not personal growth.” It seemed she was not buying her ex-husband’s story and “doesn’t think a podcast fixes everything.” “Brad’s version plays well to the public, but behind the scenes, it’s still a mess,” the insider added.
In the podcast interview, the “Fight Club” star stated that he was trying everything his well-wishers recommended. He confessed that he “needed rebooting.” “I needed to wake the f—— up in some areas. And it just meant a lot to me,” Pitt told Shepard.
The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-stars tied the knot in 2016. After two years, Jolie filed for divorce, which was finalized in December 2024. They went through an eight-year-long legal battle, fighting over their custody of six kids — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. Later, the mother won custody, followed by a rocky relationship between Pitt and the children.
Over time, several sources claimed that the 61-year-old actor blamed Jolie for their kids’ behaviour. Meanwhile, Pitt is currently dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.
