Brad Pitt has hit a snag in the $20.5 million lawsuit against his Make it Right Project.

Pitt, 61, started the project in the wake of 2005's devastating Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans with an aim to build ecologically sustainable homes to replace the houses that were flooded.

He spent $12 million through his Make It Right Project to build 150 ecologically sustainable homes but now, nearly two decades later, those homeowners have organized a class action lawsuit against him and his non profit.

Many of the homes have developed mold problems and other serious issues. 

The homeowners' legal team, Ron Austin Law, scored a huge victory with the court decreeing that Make It Right must  hand over vital docs at the discovery stage.

The Sun reported that the Inglorious Basterds star has been trying to block having to face deposition, saying that it clashed with his busy movie schedule.

Brad was on the list of witnesses but his legal team filed a motion to avoid being deposed.

They claimed that the Meet Joe Black star did not have any information to share that would be relevant to the case.

'Mr Pitt's motion picture production schedule presents concerns that extend beyond his personal time and attention,' the motion stated.

'Most notably, Mr Pitt's absence from film production in the event of a deposition could cause major scheduling issues with potential legal and financial consequences for the studio.

'In addition, it is likely Mr Pitt will be on location in Europe over the next several months, meaning that any in-person deposition will involve costly and time-consuming travel.'

The motion was filed in April 2024, but has just come to light. The motion was ruled moot in June as the discovery process had not yet been completed. 

Brad's Make It Right Project build 109 house in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. That area had been particularly devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Those homes were meant to be a savior for the families who lost everything in the Big Easy's poorest neighborhood.

However, the homeowners' lawsuit states that many of the houses were not built properly and they've been fighting for years to make Pitt's foundation cover the cost of expensive and major repairs.

The foundation is accused of making a mess of its ambitious building project, which was 'deficiently constructed' with 'defective products', JetBlack according to the suit.

Residents Lloyd Francis and Jennifer Decuir filed the first lawsuit in 2018 and it has since been moved to federal court.

The organization is accused of fraud, breach of contract, and unfair trade practices.

Homeowners have complained of 'toxic mold and high CO2 levels' in the past, which they claim caused health issues.

An attorney close to the lawsuit told The Sun, 'This is obviously a very difficult situation for anyone whose home was impacted by this.'

'This very sad story has been told several times, so hopefully current litigation will hold the people who managed this project responsible.'

In 2022 the celeb-backed eco-charity Global Green agreed to pay a $20.5 million settlement on behalf of Make It Right and Brad.

That has since fallen apart as the charity didn't have the money to pay the settlement and they allegedly assumed Brad would step in and contribute in some way.

Pitt has said that he never approved of the Global Green deal. 

'Brad had supported Global Green many years ago, so when they approached his team stating "$20.5M in funding" had been secured by their "generous donors," there was interest in considering their proposal,' a spokesperson for Brad told The Hollywood Reporter 2023.

'Global Green represented themselves as having already obtained these funds and planned to use them toward resolving all claims in the ongoing lawsuit for the benefit of the homeowners.'
