From the world of Hollywood comes a shocking revelation about actor Michael Pitt (44). US media reports have surfaced accusing him of inflicting sexual and domestic violence on an ex-partner.
According to the "New York Post," Pitt, star of shows like "Boardwalk Empire" and "Hannibal," is under scrutiny for alleged incidents occurring between April 2020 and August 2021 at his residence. These involve not one, but two instances of sexual assault, as well as repeated attacks with blunt objects. Courthouse documents suggest that prosecutors are pushing for an indictment in the Brooklyn Supreme Court.
Judge Rejects Pitt's Plea of Innocence, Sets Bail
Following the allegations, Pitt appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to all charges. The judge ordered a $100,000 bail, but it remains unclear when a trial might be scheduled.
Defending his client, Pitt's lawyer claims this is a smear campaign. He finds it peculiar that these allegations have surfaced so late, considering that "the two parties had a completely consensual and voluntary relationship" at the time. With confidence, he asserted, "This case will be dismissed."
The Man Behind Scenes of Emotional Distress
This is not the first time the limelight has captured Pitt for reasons unrelated to his acting. In 2022, Pitt was reportedly in a state of emotional turmoil, resulting in him hurling objects at passersby. However, contrary to popular belief, there is no record of Pitt being arrested during that incident, according to "TMZ."
Just a few months before this, Pitt faced accusations of snatching a man's phone on the street and assaulting him multiple times. This led to his arrest for assault and petty larceny, but no indictment followed.
