Brad Pitt is under fire

Brad Pitt has been accused of continuing to work with convicted rape Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, even when critics say he knew about the media mogul’s behavior. The actor denied close cooperation with Harvey Weinstein.

Pitt recently faced abuse allegations from his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The actor’s representative called Jolie’s claims “completely untrue.” He was later cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services and law enforcement.

However, according to a report in The Independent newspaper, the actor is facing criticism, with several users on X/Twitter arguing that it would be hypocritical for his company Plan B Entertainment to “take over the production of the story of an abused woman”.

The company was behind several films in 2022 dealing with the abuse of women, including Women Talking, She Said and the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde.

“Brad Pitt… biographies about battered women are not the vehicle to repent or fix your public image, find something else,” said a comment on X.

“Here’s a pattern to ‘rehabilitate’ his image as a feminist and messenger of women’s stories,” noted another comment.
