Brad Pitt Speaks Out on ‘Awful’ Love Scam That Cost French Woman $850,000: It Took ‘Advantage of the Strong Bond Between Fans and Celebrities’
Brad Pitt has reacted to the viral story of a 53-year-old French woman who was swindled out of $850,000 by someone pretending to be the actor.
The story broke on Sunday on the TF1 show “Sept à huit,” which aired the testimony of Anne, a French interior decorator who described how she had been scammed by a fake Brad Pitt, with whom she thought she was having a long-distance romance for a year. The person pretending to be the actor ultimately claimed he needed $1 million for a kidney treatment because he was unable to access his bank accounts due to his divorce with Angelina Jolie. In an interview with Le Figaro newspaper on Wednesday, Jan. 15, she regretted that the “only thing we’re going to remember is that ‘Anne fell in love with a fake Brad Pitt.” “Now, to begin with, I’ve never cheated on my husband in my life because I’m a caring woman, I’m not crazy or corny, as some people say or write on social networks.”
