A Brad Pitt superfan is being slammed after she grabbed and kissed the actor at the F1 Mexican Grand Prix.
The Hollywood star attended the qualifying races held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on October 26 to film scenes for his upcoming F1 film.
A video circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter) shows a woman running up to Brad to take a photo. Though the Fight Club actor seemingly agrees to her request, the fan then invades his personal space, placing her hand around his neck and kissing him on the cheek.

Brad can be seen attempting to free himself from the woman before security intervenes and escorts her out.
“This is absolutely disrespectful. First, you’re invading his personal space and HE’S HUMAN, second, you don’t have his permission, you didn’t even ask about it. Third, he is tired of the filming and anyways he went back to take a pic with you, can you act with respect?” an X user captioned the clip, which has a text overlay that reads, “She got a selfie and even a kiss.”

Many fans labeled the anonymous woman’s attitude “disgusting,” while others said she was “harassing” the actor.
“Brad looked uncomfortable after she sexually harassed him. They forget that they are people too and that he is literally working,” a separate user pointed out.
“How disgusting that someone you don’t know kisses you without your permission,” someone else commented.
