According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Angelina is the biggest loser in this skirmish.
The Girl, Interrupted star alleged that Judge John W. Ouderkirk failed to disclose, “ongoing business and professional relationships,” that he had with her ex Brad Pitt‘s legal team.

The couple split in 2016. At that time they had logged 12 years together, two in wedded bliss. They have six children together: Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

A source close to the former It couple told DailyMail.com, “This was the judge who was originally brought in by Angie’s team. He married them, for heaven’s sake.”
They went on to throw some shade at Angelina saying, “It’s a prime example of someone who tried to get the referee removed late in the game because they weren’t going to like the outcome.”

Back in August Pitt’s legal team accused Jolie of deliberately attempting to delay the court proceedings in their heated years-long divorce battle, after she filed a motion to have Ouderkirk removed.
Jolie counterpunched with her lawyer saying that all she wanted was a “fair trial,” with “no special favors,” for herself or Pitt.
