E! Networks fires two TV crew members following Brad Pitt complaint
MUMBAI: US entertainment channel E! Networks has fired two members of its television crew following a complaint by Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt.
Media reports state that Brad Pitt’s staff claimed that a television producer and cameraman trespassed at his Hollywood Hills home while the actor and his family were not home.
Pitt and Anjelina Jolie are in Pune shooting for the film A Mighty Heart. A producer and cameraman apparently walked onto the actor’s property in the Hollywood Hills. E! Networks says that it never instructed them to do so. It has however let go off the two crew members.
In a statement the channel says, “E! Networks did not instruct or authorise anyone working on its program to improperly intrude onto private property, and the individuals involved have been terminated.
“While neither Mr. Pitt nor his family were at the property when the incident took place, the network in no way condones or encourages such behaviour and would like to offer its most sincere apologies to Mr. Pitt and his family.”
