Chapter 331 Nanny Gate
Los Angeles, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Filippo from Rome looked at the wall clock. It was still early for the appointment. He sat in front of the computer and enjoyed various star news on American websites.
Partner Simone said: "The Hollywood awards season has begun, and it is extremely lively."
Filippo asked: "Can Pitt win the Oscar for Best Actor?"
"It's difficult." As the person in charge of the Brioni brand in Los Angeles, Simone knows more about this area and can tell an objective fact: "With or without Oscar blessing, he is one of the limited superstars in Hollywood."
Brioni is a top men's luxury brand from Italy. It is famous for its high-end customization and has a large number of fans among politicians, businessmen and celebrities.
In addition, the brand is also a sponsor of the Bond series. In the past ten years, all James Bond costumes have been provided by Brioni.
The contract of the previous spokesperson Brosnan expired. Brioni believed that the new Bond lacked elegance and intelligence and was not in line with the brand positioning.
Filippo came from Rome this time to prepare to sign a contract with Brad Pitt to become the brand's global spokesperson.
Simone reminded: "The last Avalon Bar incident had a great impact on Pete, but Pete has accumulated over the years and withstood the impact."
Filippo doesn't care too much: “It's just a trivial matter for celebrities to be jealous. Most of the people who like American sweethearts like Aniston are the most ordinary Americans, and they are not potential users of Brioni.”
Simone said nothing more and sat in front of his laptop to read the news.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door from outside, and his assistant hurried in.
Simone asked: "What happened?"
The assistant lowered his voice: "Look at the TMZ website, there is news about Pete."
Simone felt nervous when he heard the name TMZ. This website was the first to reveal the incident between Brad Pitt and Martin Davis last year.
Since then, TMZ has become famous and has exposed a lot of shocking information, and the authenticity is extremely close to 100%.
Simone logged on to the TMZ website, and the first thing he saw was a close-up of a large black body - multiple domestic nannies accused Brad Pitt of molestation, assault and seduction...
Here's the video, posted just a few minutes ago.
The first person to appear was a Latina woman. She had an average appearance and could only be said to be not ugly.
"I worked for the Pitt family for a period of time in 2002. It was normal at first, but over time I felt something was wrong. When the hostess was not at home, Brad Pitt always stared at me. Probably When I was about a month into the job, Pete took advantage of the fact that the hostess was out shooting and cornered me at home.”
"He offered me $1,000 to seduce me to have **** with him and ask me to kneel down and serve him. I refused. But Pete threatened me that if I didn't do what he asked, he would fire me and give me a salary. Call the company and ask the company to notify all colleagues in Los Angeles... Wuwu..."
"I still have three children to raise, and I have been doing housework. I don't know any other skills. I can't lose my job, so I can only agree to Pete. This relationship lasted a few times, and I found that Pete had violent and manic tendencies, and he hurt me several times. , I secretly hinted to the hostess, she was very kind and gave me a sum of money to let me go. "
Behind him is a white nanny, who is also very average-looking. The employer has obviously selected her, but it cannot stop Pete, who is passionate about domestic nannies.
"Brad Pitt is a scumbag. He used money to seduce me, used work to coerce me, and went with him behind the back of the mistress... I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it. I didn't agree and he beat me! The mistress was very cruel to me. Well, I felt sorry for her, so I offered to resign..."
There are two other videos with the same accusation, both of which show female nannies actually showing up and making accusations in real names.
Just beside these four juxtaposed videos, there is also a video with a larger window.
It was a video secretly filmed by a nanny with Peter. Although there was no sound, the video showed that Peter slapped the nanny and then the nanny squatted down.
Violent coercion!
Simone has been based in Los Angeles and knows that Pitt will face a huge controversy. Even if it can be resolved later, his reputation will be greatly damaged.
He picked up his laptop, came to Filippo, and said: "Look at these videos, TMZ just broke the news today."
Filippo browsed through it and immediately realized the problem and made an immediate decision: "Brad Pitt's risks have increased sharply. We need to make changes and postpone the meeting with him and the endorsement negotiations..."
Simone said: "I agree, let's see the subsequent changes first."
The assistant came in again at this time and said: "Brad Pitt and his agent are here."
Simone looked at Filippo, who thought for a while and said: "The matter has not been finalized yet, let's go meet with someone first."
The two of them went downstairs at the same time and went to the business meeting room on the fourth floor.
In the living room, Peter and his agent Maggie Darkhill are already waiting here.
The latter is full of confidence in this cooperation: "Brioni is at the top level among relatively popular men's clothing brands, which will help expand your influence."
Pitt nodded. The annual endorsement fee of 7 million US dollars basically satisfied him.
Maggie continued: "This sponsorship contract is signed at a critical time during the awards season. It will attract a lot of people's attention and help you get an Oscar nomination."
"Just a nomination?" Pitt wanted more: "I want to win the statuette."
Maggie is relatively clear-headed: "It is relatively difficult to win the prize, so we should take it step by step. After all, you will have many opportunities in the future."
Peter thought of the old guys in the college and said, "I'm not old enough. It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work this year, we can continue next year."
The door of the living room opened from the outside, and Filippo and Simone came in one after another. After greeting each other, Maggie quickly got to the point: "For this endorsement, Briony chooses Pete..."
But Filippo interrupted her: "Ms. Darkhill, Mr. Peter, there are some situations within the company. I need to return to Rome urgently. The endorsement contract must be postponed for a while. I am extremely sorry for this."
Hearing this, Peter and Maggie's first reaction was that something was wrong.
Maggie asked tentatively: "Do you know what happened?"
Simone responded vaguely: "Please give us some time to deal with internal affairs."
Peter wanted to speak, but Maggie stopped him with his eyes. This endorsement negotiation had changes that she didn't understand.
Let's understand the situation first, then talk about other things.
Filippo and Simone said a few words, and Peter and Maggie took their leave.
After going downstairs, Peter was quite angry and said, "What is Briony doing? Is she playing tricks on us?"
Maggie said: "When I contacted him this morning, everything was normal. This change cannot happen for no reason. I want to find out the situation first."
Pete spun around in circles, holding his waist with his hands: "They lack proper respect for me!"
Maggie's and Pete's phones rang one after another.
After the two got through, they only listened to one sentence and hurried to a secluded place.
After listening to what their respective assistants said, they hung up the phone almost at the same time.
Maggie asked: “TMZ?”
Peter's face was extremely serious: "Yes."
Maggie asked again: "What's going on?"
Of course Peter would not tell the truth, and gave a limited answer: "Those domestic nannies always like to seduce me. Sometimes I can't help it, and I can't help but make some mistakes that men make."
He added: "I gave them comfort money and signed a confidentiality agreement!"
“It's useless to talk about it now.” Maggie greeted him: “Call your publicist and ask him to meet at the company.”
TMZ is becoming more and more famous in the industry. She is known for being prepared and credible when breaking news. She also knows her clients. This matter is very troublesome: "Call your lawyer by the way."
Peter was on the phone while following Maggie out of the hotel door.
Before they reached the parking area, a group of people walked towards them. The person leading the group looked vaguely familiar.
Maggie was still recalling that the man stopped a few meters ahead, showed his ID and relevant procedures, and said to Pitt at the same time: "Mr. Brad Pitt, we have received reports from multiple women... You are now summoned to assist in the investigation. …”
He spoke in a routine manner and motioned to the police car parked nearby: "Mr. Pitt, please cooperate."
"This is slander!" Peter was furious: "You should arrest them for slander!"
The man said again: "Please cooperate."
Maggie read the procedures and knew she couldn't refuse, so she said to Peter: "You go over first and don't say anything until the lawyer arrives."
With no expression on his face, Pete followed these people into the car and went to the police station.
Nearby, five photojournalists from TMZ, holding cameras and camcorders respectively, took pictures of Pitt being taken into the police car from different angles.
When the police car roared away, the three people continued to chase and take pictures on motorcycles, and the other two got into a car next to them.
In the driver's seat, Jody had already opened his laptop, connected the data cable, and said: "Hurry up, upload pictures and articles, be honest, no need to exaggerate."
The male subordinate among them took the notebook and got busy without saying a word.
By the floor-to-ceiling window of the business living room on the fourth floor, Simone and Filippo, who were discussing matters, watched Brad Pitt being escorted into a police car by the LAPD.
Simone said: "This matter is 80% true. Without enough evidence, the LAPD will not easily summon a rich man and star of Pitt's level."
Filippo nodded slightly and said: "The invitation to Peter to be the spokesperson is cancelled. Let's choose other suitable candidates. I will go back to Rome first and you can recommend a few as appropriate."
Simone frowned: "There are only a few Hollywood superstars. Leonardo already has clothing endorsements. Johnny Depp doesn't match our style at all. Will Smith is a black man. George Clooney signed a contract with Armani." , Keanu Reeves is too decadent every day..."
Filippo said: "Look slowly, there will always be something suitable."
This is an ordinary day in December, but it is also a day that attracts the attention of people who eat melons.
Just when other media had not yet reacted, and those who had reacted were still verifying the authenticity of "Nannygate", Brad Pitt made the headlines of TMZ again.
This time, these are photos and videos of him being taken away by the LAPD.
The whole city of Los Angeles is in shock!
