Toulouse, a French premier league team, has apologized publicly for making fun of a woman who fell for a fraud involving an artificial intelligence-generated Brad Pitt.
WHAT OCCURRED?
After revealing on national television how she lost her life wealth due to her involvement in a fraud involving a “fake” Brad Pitt, a French woman going by the name Anne has drawn considerable mockery. Ahead of an impending match in the Coupe de France, Toulouse FC quickly joined in the general jeering with a post. On X, the club wrote: “Hey Anne, Brad informed us that he would attend Toulouse-Laval on Wednesday at the stadium. And you?
THE LARGER IMAGE
When Anne became persuaded that she was seeing Hollywood star Pitt, she lost €830,000 (£700k) in savings, she previously told French network TF1. After being requested to pay for Pitt’s cancer treatment, Anne was tricked into spending her life savings via phony social media accounts, WhatsApp messaging, and artificial intelligence images. It wasn’t until Anne learned of Pitt’s engagement to girlfriend Ines de Ramon that she started to suspect him.
TOULOUSE’S COMMENTS
On X, a club posted an apology: “We sincerely apologize for any confusion our tweet may have caused. We sincerely apologize if anything we said came out as unfavorable.We appreciate your feedback on this error. We pledge to use even more caution and judgment going forward.
WERE YOU AWARED?
After Anne was subjected to a flurry of hostility following the broadcast, TF1 ultimately decided to remove the interview from all of their channels.
HOSPITALISED VICTIM AFTER SCAM
According to TF1, Anne sold her furnishings and moved in with a friend after being defrauded of her life savings. She later made an attempt at suicide and was admitted to the hospital due to acute depression.
