Angelina Jolie wasn’t exactly rushing to check in on Brad Pitt after the actor revealed he was drinking again following seven years of sobriety.
According to a source close to Jolie, the news didn’t come as a surprise to the actress, who had long believed that giving up alcohol didn’t necessarily mean the issues underlying Pitt’s drinking had disappeared.
“Angelina is not surprised. She tried to warn people. She knew this was always a possibility,” a source spilled.

That explanation hadn’t changed Jolie’s perspective, according to the insider.
“She doesn’t believe Brad has fundamentally changed. She believes Brad is who Brad is, and no amount of sobriety or reinvention changes that,” the source whispered to Naughty But Nice.
Pitt stopped drinking after his 2016 split from Jolie, following the infamous private-plane incident that became a major turning point in their marriage. Jolie later made allegations about Pitt’s behavior during the flight and involving their children, which Pitt disputed.
The former couple finally settled their divorce in 2024 after eight years of legal battles.

For Jolie, the past was the past — and whatever came next for Pitt was his business, not hers.
