As per a report in Times-Picayune, Civil District Court Judge Rachael Johnson ruled out that Brad Pitt will remain a defendant in this lawsuit filed by the homeowners who state that their houses are deteriorating at a rapid pace. Brad Pitt's lawyer had argued that the star is not personally involved in this process and that he 'does not owe a duty to third parties', as reported by The Blast. His lawyer stated that the executive architect should be held responsible in this case. His attorney had also claimed that house owners did not provide any documents to 'support a conclusion that Mr. Pitt owed some personal duty to plaintiffs.'
Post the lawsuit was filed, The Make It Right foundation had issued a statement to PEOPLE. An excerpt read, "has filed a lawsuit against its former executive architect, John Williams, and his firm for monetary damages to remediate and repair affected homes in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, arising from his engagement with the Foundation. Make It Right continues to work proactively with homeowners in the Lower 9th Ward, and we will make no further comment on the case at this time."
