Brad Pitt (58) is one of the world’s most famous actors. Despite great success, he has gone through several challenges in recent years – including a divorce settlement with his ex Angelina Jolie (46).
The problems do not seem to stop there either.
These have dated the Hollywood charmer
Pitt and the organization Make it Right have now been sued for the houses they built after Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans hard in 2005. It reports several media, including Independent and Newsnation.
The hurricane was one of the worst natural disasters in the United States ever. About 1,200 people lost their lives, and it is said to have cost about 108 billion dollars in property damage, according to National Geographic.

Pests
In the aftermath of the hurricane, Pitt and the organization chose to build houses for the victims of the hurricane. In 2008, the organization built more than 100 houses. The houses should be able to be bought for a “reasonable” price. according to News.com the price of a house was about $ 150,000

The residents, on the other hand, should not be happy with the new houses. In 2018, the organization was sued by the residents, who thought the houses had structural deficiencies and contained mold and termites.
Feared for the safety of children
They are thus being sued for both fraud and “unfair commercial practices”. The case has since been moved to a federal court in the United States.
According to Newsnation, today only six of the 109 houses are in “reasonably good condition”.

Broken promises
So far, no solution has emerged from the court proceedings.
Ron Austin represents the residents, and claims in an interview that they have been “sold a bunch of broken promises” by Brad Pitt.
“They believed in Brad Pitt,” Austin said Newsnation.
Facilitates the veil on the relationship
– They believed in the dream he sold them. “Unfortunately, they got a bunch of broken promises – they live in rotten houses that should have been torn down to the ground and started again,” says Austin.
However, Pitt’s lawyers have tried to shift responsibility from Pitt. They believe he should not be part of the lawsuit, and have applied to have his name removed from the documents. The reason is that Pitt did not build the houses.
