French woman faces online harassment after losing savings to fake Brad Pitt scammers

A French woman, Anne, lost her life savings to scammers posing as Brad Pitt, believing she was in a romantic relationship with the actor. She transferred 830,000 euros and divorced her husband, only realizing the scam after news of Pitt's real girlfriend emerged. After her story aired on TF1, Anne faced severe online harassment, prompting the network to withdraw the interview. The coverage went viral, leading to mockery from social media users and even a misleading tweet from Toulouse Football Club. Anne, who has mental health issues, was first contacted by someone pretending to be Pitt's mother. She expressed confusion over why she was targeted, stating, "I've never harmed anyone."
