The woman said she had believed she was in a romantic relationship with the Hollywood star, leading her to divorce her husband and transfer $850,000.

A French woman who thought she was in a romantic relationship with Brad Pitt handed over $855,000 to scammers who used an AI version of the actor to dupe her.

After reportedly telling the scammer that she had recently divorced her husband, Anne sent almost all of her €775,000 divorce settlement — about $798,000 — after the fake Pitt said he had developed kidney cancer and needed a loan because his bank accounts were locked as a result of his ongoing divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie .
