Brad Pitt s Make It Right Foundation Is Reportedly Broke

Get the Full StoryWilliam Bradley Pitt is the Ja Rule of the Lower Ninth Ward and William Bradley s name will forever be associated with the Make It Right foundation, no matter what he does moving forward. And much like Ja s Frye Festival did, MIR is going down in flames. Page Six reports that the foundation is essentially broke, hasn t built a new house since 2016, hasn t updated its website since 2015, and last publicly posted its tax filings in 2014. Brad s been pointing fingers and trying to get his name removed from a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of MIR homeowners who wish being presented with a nasty cheese sandwich was the least of their worries. They are suing because the MIR homes they bought with their hard-earned money are garbage. And potentially life threatening.

Not only have the homes been plagued with mold, leaky roofs, electrical problems, dry rot, and overall structural issues, Page Six notes:

In December, the city of New Orleans warned the 109 Make It Right homeowners that natural-gas meters in their houses might be improperly installed a dangerous condition that could lead to gas leaks and explosions.

What a colossal clusterfuck. And since it hasn t been updated since Obama s first term, Brad still features prominently on MIR s website. Under the FAQ it reads:

How is Brad Pitt involved?

Brad Pitt is the founder of Make It Right, a donor and a board member. He is actively involved in our on-going work.

No wonder the class action litigants singled out Brad as the hype man for this mess. Not a good look when you re trying to pretend it s all somebody else s fault. While Brad s been busy trying to get his name removed, he and MIR are suing the architect who designed the homes.

I wonder how well Brad remembers Lloyd Griffin. He was the first person to receive a MIR house in New Orleans. He remembers Brad very well. He remembers Brad personally asking him to sign a contract to let him build him a house, and doing so despite his initial skepticism. He remembers Brad personally furnishing his entire house. He even remembers Brad showing with his then girlfriend Angelina Jolie, in a limousine.

I wonder if Brad remembers Lloyd. And I wonder if Lloyd s house is still standing.
