Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been banned by their private judge from bashing each other publicly while their divorce case is being settled in court. The ex-couple has been prevented by Judge John W. Ouderkirk from publicly shaming each other while their divorce has not yet decided and finalized.

Brad and Angie have come into an agreement to keep their divorce as private as possible and Brad thinks that hiring a private judge could help them attain this.

According to Hollywood Life, the private judge hired by the former power couple requested them to stop sharing to public ill things about the other. This will not help in the divorce anyway and they are just putting their reputation at risk.

Besides, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's legal counsel advised their clients to stop publicizing ill things about each other especially if this concerns about their dark past and the secrets of their family. Aside from putting risk to their six children, this will not also help in the legal proceedings. This would only cause irreparable damage to their reputation.

It can be recalled that right after the announcement of the split and the start of the hearing, Brad and Angelina kept on spilling nasty secrets of each other. Jolie's dark past, as well as Brad as an abusive father and his addiction to alcoholism, was exposed.

But now, it seems like the controversial divorce has calmed down a bit since the ex-couple has decided to play things nice this time. And with the help of Judge John W. Ouderkirk, people just hope that this will also end nicely and they will become friends eventually.

It can be recalled as per Vanity Fair that Brad Pitt also employed the same method during his divorce with Jennifer Aniston and indeed, it was effective enough except the part where Angelina Jolie has been dragged as the third party.

As Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie go through their divorce settlement, the private judge assured them that they will to get to laugh in the course of the proceedings.
