PARIS: A French woman who revealed on television how she had lost her life savings to scammers posing as Brad Pitt, has faced a wave of online harassment and mockery, leading the interview to be withdrawn on Jan 14.
The woman, named as Anne, told the Seven To Eight programme on the TF1 channel that she had believed she was in a romantic relationship with the Hollywood star, leading her to divorce her husband and transfer €830,000 (RM3.85mil or US$850,000).
