Brad Pitt: “The real reason for my divorce was alcohol”

Brad Pitt spoke openly about his alcohol addiction
Hollywood star Brad Pitt, although nearly ten years have passed since his divorce from Angelina Jolie, has only now revealed the real reason behind this painful process. According to his confession, the root of the family problems was alcohol addiction.

The 61-year-old actor appeared on the popular Armchair Expert podcast and sincerely spoke about his separation from Jolie, loneliness, and major turning points in his life. According to him, his tendency toward alcohol cost him not only his family but also his sense of self.

To beat alcoholism — into the circle of anonymity

To free himself from this harmful habit, Pitt joined the widely known U.S. support group “Alcoholics Anonymous.” Like other members of the organization, he attended weekly meetings and confronted his issue head-on. The actor described this period as “the most sincere and impactful time” in his life.

— People share their pain, mistakes, dreams, and desires freely. They laugh a lot, joke around. And in that moment, I felt truly inspired for the first time, — said Pitt with sincerity.

“We always want to look perfect”

According to Pitt, he and the people around him tried to hide their emotions for a long time. Living under the mask of “everything is fine” only deepened the emptiness inside him.

He recalled that he first spoke about his alcohol use in 2019. At the time, he shocked fans by admitting, “I took whatever was offered to me.” He also acknowledged that drinking negatively affected his relationship with his family and even led to physical aggression.

Jolie confirmed this through the court

In documents Angelina Jolie submitted to court in 2016, it was stated that Pitt posed a physical threat to her and their children. Officially, however, the marriage was not dissolved until 2019.

According to Pitt, he is currently not in contact with his children, and despite repeated attempts, has not been able to restore the relationship.
