Brad Pitt’s sobriety and personal circumstances remain in focus as outlets revisit a widely reported 2016 incident involving allegations tied to a private jet flight. According to these reports, Jolie and Pitt’s split was followed by renewed attention to Pitt’s efforts to stay sober.

The sources say Pitt first went sober after the separation from Jolie, describing the period in the context of claims that he was intoxicated during a volatile flight and that he allegedly poured alcohol on Jolie and their children. The coverage frames the discussion as resurfacing roughly a decade after the allegation, with emphasis on how Jolie reacted in the aftermath.

While both sources center on the same core allegations and timeline, they differ in how they characterize the later “reveal” about Jolie’s reaction and the framing of what is newly known versus what was previously alleged. Overall, the reporting relies on the earlier account and subsequent sobriety narrative rather than presenting new, independently detailed evidence in the excerpts provided.
