The Dawson's Creek star, Michael Pitt, was arrested last Friday based on different allegations, including s*ual abuse and strangulation of his ex-girlfriend, per TMZ. The actor-model is reportedly out on bail after pleading not guilty to the charges leveled by the Brooklyn prosecutors.
The 44-year-old actor who starred as Kurt Cobain in Last Days is often mistakenly assumed to be a relative of Brad Pitt. Contrary to the common misconception, neither Hollywood stars are related, at least don’t share a close family connection.
According to the Associated Press, Michael Pitt is a West Orange, New Jersey, native. Per Delaware Online (The News Journal), he is the son of an auto mechanic father and a waitress mother. In a 2014 interview with the newspaper, he opened up about his love for NJ and living in New York,
“I loved Jersey when I was about 15 but then I moved to New York and I instantly felt more comfortable there. Being an artist in suburbia or in a working-class neighborhood can be tough.”
On the other hand, the Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood star was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The Inglourious Basterds star has a younger brother named Doug Pitt, a businessperson and philanthropist. No reports reflect that either brother is related to the I Origins actor.
Michael Pitt was recently arrested based on four domestic incidents from the early 2020s
On Friday, May 2, the authorities detained The Dreamers actor based on s*xual abuse and other charges. According to the New York Post, Brooklyn DA accused Michael Pitt of s*xually assaulting and later strangling his former girlfriend. Per the court filing, the prosecutors also alleged that the Hollywood star attacked his ex-partner with “a cement block and a chunk of wood.”
The documents obtained by the New York Post suggest that the alleged incidents occurred between April 2020 and August 2021. According to the outlet, the law enforcement sources revealed that the four reported domestic incidents apparently happened at Michael Pitt’s Bushwick home.
The sources close to authorities revealed that during an alleged incident, the actor “forcibly fondled” his ex-girlfriend. It was further claimed that Pitt allegedly s*ually assaulted and struck his former partner with a wooden block. TMZ reported about another incident during which, according to the filing, Michael struck the alleged victim with a cinderblock.
As mentioned, the actor did not plead guilty to any charges before Judge Joanne Quinone. A bail bond was set at $100K, which Michael Pitt posted, and he was released from custody.
According to the New York Post, the Boardwalk Empire star faced an arrest in 2022 when he allegedly hit another person multiple times and took his phone. Pitt was charged with assault and petty larceny.
