The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles.

Filippo from Rome looked at the wall clock, it was still early for the appointment, sat in front of the computer, and enjoyed the various star news on the American website.

Partner Simeone said: "Hollywood awards season has begun, and it's been a lot of fun. ”

Filippo asked, "Can Pitt win the Oscar for Best Actor?" ”

"It's hard." Simeone, as the head of the Brioni brand in Los Angeles, knows more about this side and says an objective fact: "With or without the blessing of the Oscar, he is one of Hollywood's limited superstars." ”

Brioni is a top menswear luxury brand from Italy, known for its high-end tailoring, and has a large following among politicians and celebrities.

In addition, the brand is also a sponsor of the Bond collection, and for the last dozen years, all James Bond clothing has been supplied by Brioni.

The previous spokesperson, Brosnan's contract, expired, and Brioni felt that the new Bond lacked elegance and intelligence and was not in line with the brand's positioning.

Filippo came from Rome this time to sign Brad Pitt and make him the global face of the brand.

Simeone reminded: "The last Avalon Bar Door incident had a lot of impact on Pete, but Pete accumulated over the years and resisted the impact. ”

Filippo didn't care too much: "Celebrities are jealous, it's just a trivial matter." Most of the American sweethearts like Aniston are the most ordinary Americans, and they are not potential users of Brioni. ”

Simeone said no more, and sat in his notebook flipping through the news.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door from outside, and his assistant hurried in.

Simeone asked, "What happened?" ”

The assistant lowered his voice: "Look at the TMZ website, there is news about Pete. ”

Hearing the name TMZ, Simeone's heart tightened, and last year's Brad Pitt and Martin Davis bardoor incident was the first to be revealed by this website.

Since then, TMZ has become famous, and has successively exposed a lot of fierce information, and the authenticity is infinitely close to 100%.

Simeone landed on the TMZ website, and what caught his eye was a large close-up in black - multiple domestic nannies accused Brad Pitt of molesting, assault and seduction......

Below is the video, which was just released a few minutes ago.

The first to appear was a Latino woman, who was mediocre in appearance and could only be said to be not ugly.

"I served Pete's family for a while in 2002 and it was normal at first, but after a while I didn't feel right, Brad Pitt was always staring at me when the hostess wasn't home. About a month or so after I joined the company, Pete took advantage of the hostess to go out to shoot and blocked me in the house. ”

"He took out $1,000 and tempted me to have sex with him and made me kneel to serve him, which I refused. But Pete threatened to fire me if I didn't do what he told me to do, and he would call my company and ask it to notify my Los Angeles counterparts...... Woohoo......"

"I still have three children to raise, I've been doing housekeeping, I don't know other skills, I can't afford to lose my job, I can only promise Pete. The relationship lasted not quite a few times, and I found out that Pete had violent and manic tendencies and hurt me several times, and I secretly hinted to the hostess that she was very nice and gave me a sum of money to let me go. ”

In the back is a white nanny, who is also very average-looking, and the employer has obviously selected it, but it can't stop Pete, who is passionate about domestic nannies.

"Brad Pitt is a scumbag, he seduces me with money, coerces me with work, and ...... with his hostess behind his back I can't help it, I really can't help it, I don't agree with him still beating me! The hostess was very nice to me, I felt sorry for her and offered to resign......"

There are two other videos of the same accusation, all of which are real appearances of female nannies, real-name accusations.

Right on the side of these four juxtaposed videos, there's also a video with a larger window.

It was a video of the babysitter secretly shooting with Pete, and although there was no sound, it could be seen from the video footage that Pete slapped the babysitter before the babysitter squatted down.

Violent coercion!

Simeone, who has been based in Los Angeles, knows that Pitt is going to face a huge storm, and even if it can be settled, his reputation will be greatly damaged.

He picked up his laptop, walked over to Filippo, and said, "Look at these videos, TMZ just broke the news today. ”

Filippo skimmed through it and immediately realized what the problem was, and immediately decided: "Brad Pitt has increased the risk suddenly, we need to make a change and postpone the meeting with him and the endorsement negotiations......"

Simeone said: "I agree, let's see what happens next. ”

The assistant came in again and said, "Brad Pitt and his agent have arrived. ”

Simeone looked at Filippo, who thought for a moment and said, "The matter has not yet been decided, let's go meet someone first." ”

The two of them went downstairs at the same time to the business meeting room on the fourth floor.

In the meeting room, Pete and his agent, Maggie Darkhill, were already waiting here.

The latter is confident in the collaboration: "Brioni is at the top of the ranks of the relatively popular menswear brands, which helps to expand your reach. ”

Pee nodded, and the endorsement fee of $7 million a year basically satisfied him.

Maggie continued: "This sponsorship deal is signed at a critical time in the awards season, which will attract a lot of attention and help you get an Oscar nomination. ”

"Is it just a nomination?" Pete wanted more: "I want to take that little golden man." ”

Maggie is more sober-minded: "It's more difficult to win the award, let's take it step by step, after all, you will have a chance in the future." ”

Pete remembered the old men in the academy and said, "I'm not old enough, it's okay, if it doesn't work this year, we'll continue next year." ”

The door to the parlor opened from the outside, and Filippo and Simeone entered.

After greeting each other, Maggie quickly got to the point: "This endorsement, Brioni chooses Pete ......"

Filippo interrupted her: "Ms. Darkhill, Mr. Pitt, there is something going on within the company, I need to return to Rome urgently, and the endorsement contract will have to be postponed a little, for which I am extremely sorry. ”

Hearing this, Pete and Maggie's first reaction was that something was wrong.

Maggie asked tentatively, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Simeone replied vaguely: "Please give us a moment to deal with internal affairs." ”

Pete wanted to speak, but was stopped by Maggie with a look, and there was a change in the endorsement negotiation that she didn't understand.

Let's figure out the situation first, and then talk about the rest.

Filippo and Simeone say a few words, and Pete and Maggie take their leave.

Downstairs, Pete was quite angry and said, "What is Brioni doing?" Are you kidding us? ”

Maggie said: "When I contacted this morning, everything was normal, it couldn't happen for no reason, I'll figure out the situation first. ”

Pete spun around in place and pinched his waist with both hands: "They lack due respect for me!" ”

Maggie and Pete's phone rang one after the other.

After the two connected, 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?" ”

Pete's face was unusually serious: "Yes." ”

Maggie asked again, "What's going on?" ”

Pete, of course, won't tell the truth, with a limited answer: "Those housekeeping nannies always like to seduce me, and I sometimes can't help it, and I can't help it, and I can't help but make some mistakes that men make." ”

He added: "I gave them a consolation money and signed a non-disclosure agreement!" ”

"It's useless to talk about it now." Maggie beckoned him: "Call your PR and ask him to go to the company to meet." ”

TMZ has made a name for herself in the industry, and she is known for being credible in her preparation, and she knows her clients, which is very troublesome: "Call your lawyer by the way. ”

Pete made a phone call and followed Maggie out of the hotel gate.

Before they arrived at the parking area, a group of people walked over to them, and the people who led the team were vaguely familiar.

Maggie was still recalling that the man stopped a few meters ahead, showed his ID and formalities, and said to Pete: "Mr. Brad Pitt, we have received multiple reports from women...... You are summoned to assist in the investigation......"

Speaking in a routine manner, he motioned to the police car parked nearby: "Mr. Pete, please cooperate." ”

"This is slander!" Pete was furious: "You should arrest them for defamation!" ”

The man said again, "Please cooperate." ”

Maggie had read the formalities and knew that she couldn't refuse, so she said to Pete: "You go first, don't say anything until the lawyer arrives." ”

Pete was expressionless, followed the men into the car, and went to the police station.

Nearby, five photojournalists from TMZ, holding cameras and video cameras respectively, took pictures of Pete being taken into the police car from different angles.

When the police car roared away, the three of them continued to chase on motorcycles, and the other two got into a car next to them.

In the driver's seat, Jody had already opened the laptop, connected the data cable, and said: "Hurry up, upload pictures and articles, as they are, no need to exaggerate." ”

One of the male subordinates took the notebook and got busy without saying a word.

By the floor-to-ceiling window of the business lounge on the fourth floor, Simone and Filippo, who were discussing the matter, watched Brad Pitt being escorted into a police car by LAPD.

Simeone said: "This is eighty percent true, and without enough evidence, the LAPD will not easily summon a rich man and celebrity of Pitt's level." ”

Filippo nodded lightly and said, "The matter of inviting Pete to be the spokesperson is invalid, and then choose other suitable candidates, I will go back to Rome first, and you can recommend a few as you like." ”

Simeone frowned: "There are only a few superstars in Hollywood, Leonardo already has clothing endorsements, Johnny Depp doesn't match our style at all, Will Smith is a black man, George Clooney signed Armani, Keanu Reeves is too decadent in his daily life......"

Filippo said: "Look slowly, there is always a suitable one." ”

This is an ordinary day in December, and it is another day that bursts the attention of the people who eat melons.

Just when other media outlets had not yet reacted, and what they reacted was still verifying the authenticity of "Nannygate", Brad Pitt made headlines at TMZ again.

This time, it was the photos and videos of the scene where he was taken away by the LAPD.

Los Angeles is a sensation!
