Judge overseeing Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorce says he ‘can and will remain impartial’ following Jolie’s claims he’s ‘biased’ against her
The judge overseeing the high profile divorce between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has denied Jolie’s claims he’s ‘biased’ against her.
The 45-year-old actress had earlier this month asked to take Judge John W. Ouderkirk off the case amid claims he had failed to disclose an existing relationship between himself and Pitt’s lawyers.
However Ouderkirk countered that he is within his rights to continue working as the celebrity divorce continues to drag on.
‘I will continue to consider accepting other cases as other additional cases may arise from time to time while the Jolie/Pitt case is still pending,’ wrote the judge in court documents obtained by ET on Wednesday.
