Brooklyn Shock: Michael Pitt’s Accuser Said He Never “Hit” or “Sexually Assaulted” – LIVE UPDATES

Bushwick, Brooklyn (11206) – Actor Michael Pitt, 44, has intensified his fight to clear his name in a Brooklyn courtroom drama. In a July 9 motion seeking modified bail conditions, his legal team included text messages from his accuser stating he never hit or sexually assaulted her. These documents also reveal her admission of fabricating certain allegations, as well as medical records suggesting her injury stemmed from an alcohol-fueled fall, not assault. Pitt, indicted in May on nine charges, now aims to travel abroad for work after the court reinstated his passport. Below is a comprehensive look at these explosive claims and their local impact.

Key Facts

• [ ] NEW DEVELOPMENT: Ex’s text: “He never hit or sexually assaulted me” (Brooklyn).

2. Community Connection:

   “This rocked the neighborhood—so surreal.”
   – Alex Torres, local café owner, Bushwick

The newly surfaced evidence places Pitt’s defense in a stronger position as the case unfolds in Brooklyn Supreme Court. In his motion, attorney Robert Gottlieb argues there is “not one message from the [accuser]’s phone… that mentions any of the alleged criminal conduct,” painting serious doubts about the prosecution’s timeline and narrative. One text message from April 2021 quotes the accuser admitting she “lied about being sexually assaulted” and confessed to fantasizing about rape and violence despite no actual assault occurring.

Further evidence includes a hospital report attributing her injury to a “mechanical fall” after drinking—not an assault by Pitt—substantiating his claim of false allegations. With his passport returned, Pitt is now preparing for upcoming work in Paris, challenging the original legal restrictions imposed at his May arraignment. As he maintains his innocence and pushes for bail reforms, the court is expected to weigh whether these revelations justify easing his restrictions—potentially setting a precedent in how courts handle defense claims of fabricated accusations.
