A french woman who was defrauded of €830,000 (£700,000; $850,000) by con artists impersonating star Brad Pitt .
The 53-year-old interior designer Anne, who believed she had been dating Pitt for an entire year and a half, garnered national notice on Sunday's primetime show.
It was believed that the scammer used AI generated videos and photos to actually lure the woman into paying such a hefty amount.
The US site Entertainment Weekly quoted Pitt's spokesperson as saying that it is "devastating that fraudsters are taking advantage of fans' close relationships with superstars" and that individuals should not reply to unwarranted online communication, "particularly from stars who don't have any online social media presence."
