The top story of the week was the revelation that after 7 years of sobriety, Brad Pitt is drinking again. Brad dropped that bombshell during a recent interview and here’s what we know: Brad was part of a secret celebrity AA group with regular morning meetings (usually over Zoom) but earlier this year he started distancing himself from the group – and missing countless meetings. Brad finally revealed to his support group that he no longer felt the need to stay sober and wanted to start exploring social drinking, which didn’t sit well with them. He quit the group and now has a private therapist to help him navigate his drinking. My source says Brad never truly identified as an alcoholic, but just as someone who would occasionally go on binges, and THAT’S what he’s trying to manage.
