An international megastar announced by a French club, and it goes wrong

This is undoubtedly the huge “buzz” at the start of the year on the Internet. On Sunday, the program Sept à quatre broadcast a rather edifying report, on a gigantic scam caused by “grazers”, who defrauded a woman of 830,000 euros by pretending to be Brad Pitt.

The subject immediately became a hit on social networks. The (fake) photos sent by (fake) Brad Pitt were massively shared, and everyone made a little joke. Including Toulouse Football Club.

To promote its 16th final of the Coupe de France against Laval on Wednesday, the TFC called out poor Anne by promising her the presence of Brad Pitt at the Stadium. All with rather crude montages of the American actor wearing a Violets jersey.

No, Brad Pitt will not be in Toulouse

This post generated quite varied reactions. Some liked it, others felt that it was perhaps wrong to drive home the point with the victim, who has since made several suicide attempts, and who is very morally damaged. As a result, TFC made the decision to delete his post.

“We understand that our tweet may have been misinterpreted, and we sincerely apologize. We deeply regret if our comments may have conveyed a negative message, explained the Haut-Garonnais club. Thank you for your feedback on this error. We pledge to exercise even greater care and discernment in the future. »
