Brad Pitt Says He Went To Rehab Amid Divorce To “Reboot”
Brad Pitt opened up about his “amazing” experience with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Dax Shepherd and Pitt talked about being in rehab together on the Armchair Expert podcast, where Pitt found value in the “heightened honesty and vulnerability” of the group setting.
Pitt described feeling “on his knees” and needing to “wake up” when he first joined AA following his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2016. He admitted to feeling “shy” at first, but ultimately found it freeing to “expose the ugly sides” of himself.
Pitt also discussed approaching therapy with a similar openness, calling it a “desperate” but necessary step. He emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for his actions and finding ways to “right” his wrongs.
