Angelina Jolie Has Some Thoughts on Brad Pitt's AA Meeting Reveal, Says ‘Source'
recently shared his experience about his AA meetings post-divorce with Angelina Jolie. The 'F1' star appeared on the latest episode of the 'Armchair Expert' podcast, where he told Dax Shepard about his time with Alcoholics Anonymous. However, a source claimed that his ex-wife allegedly has some thoughts about the interview. Reportedly, Pitt's confession felt like a 'PR' to her. Brad Pitt opened up about his 'difficult time' when he hit rock bottom after his separation from Angelina Jolie. In an interview with Dax Shepard on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast, he revealed that he was on his 'knees' during his journey to become sober. Further, he shared his experience during his AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings. While fans sympathized with Pitt's confession, his ex-wife might not think the same. According to ShuterScoop, a source said, 'To her, it feels like PR — not personal growth.' It seemed she was not buying her ex-husband's story and 'doesn't think a podcast fixes everything.' 'Brad's version plays well to the public, but behind the scenes, it's still a mess,' the insider added. In the podcast interview, the 'Fight Club' star stated that he was trying everything his well-wishers recommended. He confessed that he 'needed rebooting.' 'I needed to wake the f—— up in some areas. And it just meant a lot to me,' Pitt told Shepard. The 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' co-stars tied the knot in 2016. After two years, Jolie filed for divorce, which was finalized in December 2024. They went through an eight-year-long legal battle, fighting over their custody of six kids — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. Later, the mother won custody, followed by a rocky relationship between Pitt and the children. Over time, several sources claimed that the 61-year-old actor blamed Jolie for their kids' behaviour. Meanwhile, Pitt is currently dating jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. Originally reported by Sushmita Sen on Reality Tea.

Aaron Judge reacts after former teammate uses his signature walk-up track
Aaron Judge reacts after former teammate uses his signature walk-up track originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Joe Trevino had a surprise for his former teammate Aaron Judge Monday night. The former New York Yankees catcher stepped to the plate Monday night in Cincinnati, 'Swag Surfin'' echoed through Great American Ballpark. That's the same anthem Judge uses at Yankee Stadium. Advertisement Judge, out in right field, laughed and tipped his cap. 'He was kind of messing with me a little bit,' Judge said, smiling. 'I loved it.' Trevino had tipped off his old teammate during Judge's second at-bat. 'He told me he had a new walk-up song and wanted me to check it out,' Judge told reporters. 'So when I heard that, I was kind of laughing a little bit.'

Behind the scenes, Yankees manager Aaron Boone met Trevino quietly on the field before the game and gave him his 2022 AL championship ring in private, according to Bryan Hoch. Just the two of them. When Austin Wells stepped into the box, he said he told his former mentor that he loved him. Trevino's response? Advertisement "He told me he loved me, too," Wells told reporters. Trevino, dealt to the Reds last winter for reliever Fernando Cruz, has found success in Cincinnati—something Judge wasn't surprised to see. 'Trevi was one of my favorite teammates over here,' Judge said. 'One of the best. Such a hard worker, always with the team. You see the success he's having over there—it's not by chance.' The Yankees moved on with Wells as their everyday catcher and J.C. Escarra backing him up on a cheaper deal. But Monday night made one thing clear: Trevino's impact in the Bronx hasn't faded.

Jose Trevino's Walk-Up Songs Take Aim at Yankees Teammates
Jose Trevino's Walk-Up Songs Take Aim at Yankees Teammates originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jose Trevino didn't have much to say when the Yankees traded him to Cincinnati this winter. This week, he's letting the Great American Ball Park sound system do the talking. Advertisement With the Yankees in town, Trevino has turned his walk-up music into a running joke—and his former teammates are the punchline . On Monday night, he walked to the plate to 'Swag Surfin',' the anthem long associated with Aaron Judge. On Tuesday? He cued up 'Rooster' by Alice in Chains, Carlos Rodon's mound music. Rodon was already mid-warmup when it hit. Cameras caught him mouthing, 'No way.' Trevino just grinned. None of this is accidental. Cincinnati Reds catcher Jose TrevinoSam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Trevino was beloved in the Bronx. Judge laughed at the joke Monday and after the game said he was one of his favorite teammates. Austin Wells, who replaced Trevino as the Yankees' starting catcher last season, told reporters he loved 'Trevi." Advertisement The Yankees sent Trevino to the Reds this offseason in a quiet deal for reliever Fernando Cruz. He signed an $11.5 million extension with Cincinnati and is doing well there. But with the Yankees visiting Cincinnati, Trevino's making the most of seeing his old friends. Wednesday's starter is Max Fried, someone Trevino has no connection to. But he still has plenty of familiar targets. So what's next? Austin Wells' Led Zeppelin? Giancarlo Stanton's walk-up throwback? Or maybe Anthony Volpe's 'Where You Are' by John Summit, Hayla. Trevino's career was made in the Bronx. After being expendable in Texas, catching coordinator Tanner Swanson helped him become a Platinum Glove and an All-Star in 2022.
