French Woman Faces Cyberbullying After Forking Over $850,000 to AI Brad Pitt

A scammer used AI-generated Brad Pitt images and social media messaging to scam a French woman out of $850,000.

To justify the Oscar-winning actor’s shortage of cash, the scammer said Pitt was unable to access his bank accounts due to his divorce with Angelina Jolie. Anne, who suffers from mental health issues, left her husband as the scam carried on, and noticed it was a bait-and-switch after reading news headlines of Pitt’s girlfriend Ines de Ramon. Following the Seven to Eight broadcast, Anne has faced cyberbullying, while other online users have attacked the TV channel TF1 for failing to protect the woman from harassment.
