Angelina Jolie Hires the Real Life Olivia Pope for Divorce Team

Angelina Jolie has added a powerful woman to her divorce team, Judy Smith!

The character Olivia Pope on the hit ABC series Scandal, played by Kerry Washington, was inspired by the legendary crisis manager. She is also a producer on the show.

“Judy has been asked to consult with those working with Angelina on divorce negotiations,” a source told People. “Judy and her firm have a long history of handling issues that have unfortunately garnered too much attention in the public eye, and she knows how to push towards resolutions that are swift and discreet.”

Smith has helped such high-profile celebs as Michael Vick, Monica Lewinsky, and Paula Deen throughout their public scandals.

Angelina is working with celeb divorce attorney Laura Wasser for her divorce from Brad Pitt.
