Brad Pitt faces heavy criticism for producing 'Blonde' and these other movies amid abuse allegations

Brad Pitt has been the talk of the town, and not for the right reasons. He has been making headlines for the abuse allegations filed against him by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. In a drunken incident that took place on his private plane in 2016, Pitt is accused of physically and mentally abusing his ex-wife and children.

To add fuel to the fire, he is now being heavily criticized for the choices of movies that his production house has been involved in. Newsweek quoted reporter Kat Tenbarge as she hinted that Pitt has been strategic about the movies he has been involved with since the incident.

Brad Pitt’s latest production ‘Blonde’

Blonde is one film that has received a lot of backlash since it came out on Netflix recently. Loosely based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, the movie has stirred controversy for many reasons. Be it the explicit portrayal of sexual abuse or misrepresentation of Monroe; people had a lot to say about Blonde. And the film hasn’t sat well with its watchers.

Brad Pitt’s upcoming production

As per Marie Claire, Pitt is all set to produce a film on the Harvey Weinstein scandal titled She Said. The Weinstein saga is a scary reminder of how horrific the world and men of power can be.

In 2017, two journalists, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, uncovered Weinstein's history of sexual misconduct and paved the gateway to the iconic #MeToo movement. According to We Got This Covered, fans are livid after finding out that Pitt is a part of the film crew, given the current allegations against him.

Another upcoming film from Pitt’s production house is Women Talking. The movie’s plot and storyline revolve around women who have horrible crimes committed against them. Upon hearing this, fans are calling it a hypocritical move on Pitt’s behalf, albeit a strategic one.
