Anne, 53, was subject to nationwide ridicule after a TV show revealed how she paid out huge sums to romance scammers pretending to be Brad Pitt.

The scammers used fake, AI-generated photos of the megastar actor that led the French woman to believe she was communicating with the real Brad Pitt.

The pair began a back-and-forth based on the poser-Pitt’s assertion that Anne would be a good match for her *checks Google* 61-year-old son. Shortly thereafter, a different account DM’d Anne, introducing themself as none other than the actor.
