Let's talk about how completely messed up this whole Brad Pitt scam situation is—and I don't mean just the scam itself.

The way French society has reacted to this woman's devastating loss shows just how toxic and heartless we've become in the age of social media.

Here's a woman who lost everything—€830,000, her dignity, and nearly her life—and what's the response? Netflix France making jokes about "real Brad Pitt movies" and a football club mocking her trauma. Real classy, folks. Nothing quite like kicking someone when they're already suicidal, right?

The victim, Anne, isn't some dimwit who deserves to be ridiculed.

And let's be brutally honest about something: while everyone's busy laughing at her, these scammers are probably already targeting their next victim.

They're getting better at their game every day, armed with increasingly sophisticated AI tools that can create deepfakes so convincing they could fool any of us in the right circumstances.

You think you're too smart to fall for something like this? Maybe.

A) But imagine being lonely, going through a divorce, and having someone who seems to be your celebrity crush suddenly showing interest in you.

B) Then imagine seeing custom-generated videos and photos that seem to prove it's real. Still so sure about your immunity to manipulation?

The sad truth is, Anne isn't just a victim of scammers—she's a victim of our collective failure to recognize how vulnerable we all are in this new digital age.

While we're busy mocking her, we're missing the bigger picture: that tomorrow's scams will be even more sophisticated, and the next victim could be any one of us.

So maybe instead of sharing those oh-so-clever memes about Brad Pitt, we should be demanding better protection against these scams and showing a little basic human decency to those who fall victim to them.

But I guess that's not as fun as making jokes about someone who's already hit rock bottom, is it?
