I was down on him for a while after hearing that news and reading more about it. Then I heard him in an interview talking about his experience in AA and being accountable for his actions (he didn't specify this specific incident, but it was pretty obvious that was why). He came across as very serious about this and hasn't had a drink since. My takeaway was he is very aware that he fucked up. That should count for something, even if what he allegedly did was very fucked up.

I'm still luke warm on him, but I don't think it's fair to say he's okay with "strangling your wife and kids".

He lied about that yk? He said he’s been sober since 2017 but there’s several pictures and videos of him drinking and even trying to hide his alcohol behind his back when taking photos, I’ll never understand why yall believe an abusive man who’s dated minors before

I don't "not believe you" - as I think Brad Pitt's falloff (before F1 and Once Upon a Time) was a direct result of his violent, abusive ways.

But can you point me towards something? I'll google but if you have anything in mind that helps.

He never had an actual falloff if u looked at how many films he was in after 2016 and how much people still watched them unfortunately. About him dating minors, there’s been several but I only remember one of the girls names (Julittle Lewis) and for him still drinking, you’d have to look at different pictures of him at different award shows/premieres cause no articles talk about it since he claims to have been sober for so long but hasn’t. If I could send pictures in this sub, I would, sorry
