Oakland County Probate Court Administrator Edward Hutton says he's been recording Judge Kathleen Ryan ’s statements for years .

Hutton: “She's made it a living hell in the past six years . I mean, it's been terrible. It's cost me relationships. I think it's affected my health. Can't sleep.” Judge Ryan is out of her courtroom after more than 13 years on the bench.

Judge Kathleen Ryan has been removed from her docket pending further investigation.

Judge Ryan was arrested in 2021 for misdemeanor domestic violence, but those charges were later dismissed.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel calls the allegations "very disturbing" Judge Ryan 's friends are supporting her and believe these statements are totally out of character.
