Brad Pitt Reaches $20.5 Million Settlement Over Faulty Homes, But He Won't Have to Pay Up Himself

Brad Pitt and his Make It Right Foundation were sued over the homes they built for Hurricane Katrina victims, which were allegedly faulty and needed repairs.

The lawsuit was filed back in 2018 and it was just reported that a $20.5 million settlement has been reached.

Brad won’t have to pay up any of the money as someone else is stepping in the foot the bill.

Page Six reports that the environmental nonprofit Global Green has agreed to cover the preliminary settlement, which still needs to be approved by a judge. The 107 homeowners in the program are eligible to receive $25,000 payouts to reimburse them for previous repairs.

Brad said in a statement, “I am incredibly grateful for Global Green’s willingness to step up and provide this important support for the Lower Ninth families. We collaborated in the early days post-Katrina and we are very fortunate to have Global Green’s generous continuing commitment to help address the challenges around these homes and others in need. Hopefully this agreement will allow everyone to look ahead to other opportunities to continue to strengthen this proud community in the future.”

Brad had previously petitioned to be removed from the lawsuit as he believed he should not be held responsible for the actual construction of the project.

A source previously told Page Six, “Brad was a co-founder, but he wasn’t on the board for years. When the problems arose, he committed to help make it right.”

Brad is also in the news for another reason this week.
