Mary-Kate Olsen Loses Bid to Submit Emergency Divorce Filing
Mary-Kate Olsen's request to submit an emergency divorce filing has been denied. New York courts spokesman Lucian Chalfen confirmed the setback, telling E! News that only "essential, emergency" filings are being accepted because of the coronavirus pandemic. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz ruled Thursday that Olsen's emergency petition to begin divorce proceedings against Olivier Sarkozy would not move forward. "The original filing was rejected by the New York County Clerk because they did not follow the essential matter procedure," Chalfen tells us.
