Although he’s currently embroiled in a legal war with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, “Bullet Train” actor Brad Pitt settled a long-standing lawsuit against him that involved the making of homes to help those who were affected by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. According to Page Six, Global Green will be funding the preliminary $20.5 million settlement. The affected people will also be able to receive $25,000 in reimbursements for the damage that was caused.
“I am incredibly grateful for Global Green’s willingness to step up and provide this important support for the Lower Ninth families,” Pitt said in a statement. “Hopefully this agreement will allow everyone to look ahead to other opportunities to continue to strengthen this proud community in the future.”
Attorney Ron Austin stated that “tears of joy” were shed amongst victims when the settlement was proposed. “You’re talking about a group of people who didn’t have an option to move and buy or rent a second home,” he told The Guardian, adding that “They’re relieved and grateful.” Sadly, the legal headaches aren’t over for Pitt just yet, as he is still dealing with the fallout of a 2016 plane incident with Jolie — which allegedly resulted in $25,000 in damages to said plane, per People.
