‘It’s absolutely hilarious’: Hollywood reporter Renee Bargh laughs off THOSE Brad Pitt rumours after she was falsely linked to the actor

Former E! News reporter Renee Bargh was falsely linked to actor Brad Pitt last year.

And the 35-year-old laughed off the baseless rumours on Thursday, telling Popsugar she found it ‘hilarious’ anyone would believe the gossip.

‘It’s absolutely hilarious that those even came about and that people actually believed them,’ she said.

Renee had interviewed the Fight Club star, 57, at the SAG awards in January 2020 and they had supposedly ‘flirted up a storm,’ according to New Idea at the time.

The TV host explained she was stuck in quarantine when the rumours reached fever pitch last June, and admitted her friends were even teasing her about them.

Renee’s pal sent her flowers and gifts in hotel quarantine, and security would tell her they had sent by a ‘Mr Pitt’.

‘I really should have milked it, like started at least getting restaurant reservations or something out of it,’ she chuckled.

Renee also hinted the rumours had affected her dating life. 

‘It’s funny if I ever go on a date with a guy and they’re like, “Cool, you know, I just feel weird because I can’t compare to Brad Pitt!”‘ she said.

Renee moved back to Australia last year after spending a decade in Los Angeles as a red carpet correspondent for Extra.

She appears to be enjoying the single life at the moment, and there’s no sign of a boyfriend on her social media accounts.

Renee was reported to be dating American actor Glenn Powell in November 2018.

But that relationship soon fizzled out. 

In November 2019, Renee revealed she was single and looking for a love with a ‘good Aussie boy’. 

‘I am currently single. A good Aussie boy would be great, so if you know anyone throw them my way,’ she told Daily Mail Australia at the time.
