Brad Pitt’s sobriety story deserves more scrutiny
Salon.com • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Brad Pitt recently admitted in an Esquire profile to having a few glasses of wine and occasionally getting "back off the wagon" in a more restrained manner, reflecting a shift from his previously public sobriety.
- The profile portrays Pitt in a positive light, highlighting his hospitality, legacy, and a light moment where he admires hawks outside his Los Angeles home.
- The article criticizes the profile for being overly flattering and lacking critical questions about Pitt's ongoing legal battles with Angelina Jolie, his children's decision to drop the "Pitt" surname, and his recent film career.
- The writer contrasts Pitt's situation with how others might be scrutinized more harshly if accused of similar behavior, particularly regarding allegations of family abuse linked to alcohol.
