Anne, a 53-year-old French interior designer deepfake (Jan 2025)

A scammer used AI-generated images and videos of Brad Pitt and his mother to convince Anne to transfer $1.2 million to a Turkish bank account under the false pretense that Pitt needed the money for kidney cancer treatment. The scam was revealed after Anne appeared on French TV, and the program was later pulled due to online backlash. Similar scams have targeted others, and this is not the first such deepfake scam involving Brad Pitt.
