Brad Pitt Not Taking Any Shit From Hurricane Katrina Victims

Brad Pitt is not just some guy that humped and dumped Angelina Jolie. Leaving her with a kindergarten full of adopted kids to look after alone. No. He cares about others. Especially others whose lives look like a hurricane hit it. Literally. He’s here to let everyone know that his helping hand held out for Hurricane Katrina victims had nothing to do with publicity. The good people of New Orleans may have gone without permanent housing for quite some time but they will not go without class-action lawsuit against Pitt for fraudulent pity any longer.

Brad Pitt is defending himself against claims he only helped New Orleans residents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina for good publicity.

The “War Machine” star is demanding a judge release him from the class-action suit the Hurricane Katrina victims have filed against him, claiming the lawsuit “does not otherwise contain a single factual allegation that Mr. Pitt made any promise to any putative class member, that he entered any contract with any putative class member, or that he made any misrepresentation to any putative class member,” according to legal documents, obtained by The Blast.

The lawsuit is also against Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation. The plaintiffs argue that Pitt and his foundation promised to build homes that would withstand “hurricane force winds” but instead received houses that won’t last another five years, despite owners being tied to 30-year mortgages.

Pitt argued, “While plaintiffs urge in the Opposition that certain generic and innocuous statements Mr. Pitt allegedly made to the press somehow give rise to claims against him individually, this is simply unsupportable.”

I’m not sure what’s in that New Orleans water, but being upset with Brad over alleged broken promises isn’t helping anyone. Everyone in that lawsuit needs to pick themselves up by their boudain casings and call it a day. Celebrities are the original pimps of sympathy that capitalize off of common folk with eponymous foundations. Pitt’s probably laundering the money he makes from his third-world underage orphan MMA league through construction costs. Hence why the wood used for the rebuilt houses are made from recycled tourist toothpicks sourced from Cafe du Monde’s dumpsters.
