Angelina Jolie was reportedly “not surprised” that Brad Pitt has started drinking again after seven years of sobriety, according to an unnamed insider quoted in Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice column.
Pitt publicly confirmed during an interview with Esquire on August 10 that he is no longer sober. “I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” he confessed with a laugh. Pitt had previously spoken about quitting alcohol after his 2016 separation from Jolie, saying he had pushed his drinking “as far as he could.”
In the report, the unnamed insider claimed Jolie had “tried to warn people” and felt a return to alcohol “was always a possibility.” The account was framed as the insider’s interpretation of Jolie’s position, rather than remarks made by the actress.
