Brad Pitt Denies Responsibility for Hurricane Katrina Victims' Deteriorating Homes

by JESS COHEN

 

 

Brad Pitt is seeking to be dismissed from a class-action lawsuit that was filed against him and his Make It Right Foundation, the nonprofit he founded after Hurricane Katrina to help in the rebuilding of the Lower Ninth Ward.

 

Back in September, Pitt and Make It Right were sued by two residents in New Orleans who claimed their homes were "defectively and improperly constructed" as well as "defectively designed" and contained "defective materials," according to the lawsuit obtained by E! News.

Let me help you:

Greed and Lawyers 

No good deed goes unpunished....Way to go to encourage people not to care, certainly not to take an positive action for which they put themselves at legal risk....

Those homes were built seven feet under sea level, don't southern north americans understand 'sea level' ?  If not, don't ever read about climate change. In the mean time, move North. Good idea to learn how to read too. No happy imoje, they truly didn't know how to read in that area of town.

Yeah, but. . . 

 

"While the citizens of the 9th Ward are grateful to Brad Pitt they were forced to file this lawsuit because the Make It Right Foundation built substandard homes, that are deteriorating at a rapid pace while the homeowners are stuck with mortgages on properties that have diminished values."

 

 

 

While the houses were poorly designed and constructed and they have fallen apart and are uninhabitable it is those who designed and built the homes that are responsible, not Brad Pitt.
