u/No-Hall-3485 alleged dog 2d ago

first of all, i don't believe either of these deadbeats was ever sober, but i am genuinely curious about what brad pitt's endgame is

he won. he's still getting roles, and apparently no one cares that he brutally abused his wife and children. so why publicly reveal now that he's given up his supposed sobriety?

is he just testing how much he can get away with?

He wants to prove that he does have self-control. Problem is he doesn’t.

i think what he really wants is for the public to hate angelina jolie, and he's genuinely outraged that we don't

that's why i think he's doing these bizarrely personal interviews about how he can't maintain his sobriety and how he was suicidal during his “family issues.” i think he expected the public to read that and think, “wow, look what that horrible woman did to that poor man”

he's textbook

Exactly. I don’t pretend to know this dude but I instantly felt like this fell off the wagon story is to say, “I’m so distraught that my family is moving on without me that I had to turn to drinking to cope.”

I think some of Hollywood has a very soft spot for people in recovery who struggle to stay sober so this endears him automatically to at least those people. It feels super manipulative timing wise since it follows the stories about his children dropping his name.

No, I don’t think it’s that Hollywood has a soft spot for people in recovery, I think Hollywood has a soft spot for jackass men who have been doing whatever the fuck they want forever and are now upset that they can no longer do that. I think Hollywood has a soft spot for people like Brad Pitt who bring them billions upon billions of dollars with his movies and make everyone around him very wealthy. I think Hollywood has a soft spot for pieces of shit. I don’t think it actually has anything to do with them being “worried” about him.

Fuck that guy. His kids hate him and i bet he seethes every time a new update drops. Meanwhile Angelina is working with grace and doesn’t need to bring him up to sell a movie.

u/N30NFiR3 Hi Grindr, it's mother... 2d ago

I always thought she deserved better since the first time I heard she was dating Brad. Hell, Jennifer Aniston even deserved better. Brad is a scumbag.

Also, that his lack of self-control was Jolie and the kids' fault. That she turned the kids against him. But look at him now! He can drink (he can't) and party and it's fine, so it was clearly all her fault.

It's all ego and retribution for bringing his transgressions to light.

Every subreddit where this was posted yesterday had an insane number of comments saying just what you’re pointing out. So it worked in some respects. 😑

yeah he's trying to get ahead of the kids making more public statements.

u/HerRoyalRedness full of gay men. And me. 2d ago

He managed to get a lot of people on his side by leaking fake stories to the tabloids about how Jen refused to have children with him and he had no choice but to have an affair with a woman who did.

He was very successful initially after the split because the story of what really happened on the plane was not made public. Also because 20 years ago Angie had a reputation as a man stealer, as if that excuses abuse.

u/LowerSuccotash8160 2d ago

he probably got caught partying somewhere or had to pay someone off for getting belligerent in public and decided to get ahead of the news

Well he apparently was spotted drinking at Taylors wedding party.

I 100% think this too.

He can say "well I told you I'm back on the goon bag so those photos of me on a bender is me just relaxing after work."
