A French woman, Anne, was scammed out of €830,000 by a fake, AI-generated Brad Pitt. The scammer convinced her that he needed the money for cancer treatment and other expenses. Anne, who was deeply in love with the fake Brad Pitt, divorced her husband and transferred nearly all of her €775,000 settlement to the scammer. She believed she was in a real relationship with the actor and even expected marriage. The scam was eventually exposed when Anne saw photos of the real Brad Pitt with his new girlfriend. Anne has since filed a legal complaint for fraud and launched an online crowdfunding campaign to cover her mounting legal expenses.
