Brad Pitt madly in love with her, without ever having met her in person. A 53-year-old French woman fell for the “romance scam,” and was convinced that the Hollywood actor had fallen for her, a complete stranger.
The victim, she said in an interview on a TF1 program, had been contacted on Facebook by the sex symbol's alleged mother in February 2023. The "actor" himself had first written to her, then started sending her videos generated by artificial intelligence. She, who was married, had fallen for it for months: she was now sure she was having an affair with Brad Pitt.
So much so that she had decided to divorce her husband, a separation following which she had been awarded 800,000 euros . The scammer had then raised the level: with photos and videos, always generated by AI, which portrayed Brad Pitt in hospital rooms, he told her that he was suffering from kidney cancer and that he needed money for treatment.
She couldn't use her money, because it was temporarily blocked in the divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie. The woman began to open her eyes only when photos of Brad Pitt's new flame, Ines de Ramon, began to circulate. So she filed a complaint, but there was still no trace of the scammer. She, on the other hand, is currently being treated in a clinic to deal with serious depression.
