Brad Pitt’s team reminds fans he’s not on social media after a woman gets big-time scammed

LA Times  

After a French woman said she was conned by scammers pretending to be Brad Pitt, the actor’s spokesperson reminded fans that the A-list actor is not on social media. “It’s awful that scammers take advantage of fans’ strong connection with celebrities, but this is an important reminder to not respond to unsolicited online outreach, especially from actors who have no social media presence,” a spokesperson for the “Fight Club” star said Friday in a statement to The Times. Anne said that nearly every time she cast doubt on Pitt’s authenticity, the scammers would send her something to dissipate her doubts, at one point AI-generating a fake news report about their relationship ahead of the actor going public with girlfriend Ines de Ramon in June 2024. His representatives released a similar statement at the time reminding fans “to not respond to unsolicited online outreach, especially from actors who have no social media presence.”
