This week, actor Pitt reportedly agreed to a settlement of $20.5 million for the owners of homes built by his Make It Right Foundation housing charity.
Homeowners brought legal action after numerous defects to their homes – such as water leaks, black mould and foundation issues – were discovered, according to a report by NOLA.com.
"Hopefully this agreement will allow everyone to look ahead to other opportunities to continue to strengthen this proud community in the future," Pitt said in a statement.
