Seems she is allowed to continually interrupt people try to talk, yet "God help" a person who interrupts her. Even when she "gives them an amount of time" at her discretion, she interrupts. And she is so very obviously racist. It show. There is no entertainment in watching that nasty old woman anymore. I truly believe we are judged later by how we treat people. I hope that hag reaps what she has sown before her final judgement day.
Perhaps she will have to be tended to by someone holding a grudge for how they were treated by her. Get her off of tv. That is not entertainment. It is bullying. I think it's time for Judge Judy to hang up her robe, and time for me to stop watching her show. I have noticed that over the years she has become much more intolerant and rude. I don't want to be part of her audience anymore.

I was Plaintiff on the show and it was the worst experience of my life! When contacted by producers, I was told how organized I was with all the evidence I had against my ex Landlord for harassment and I had a very strong case. Staff was absolutely wonderful to me up until our appearance.
I gave them videos and stacks of paperwork as well as pictures and so on I was told Judge Judy would receive my evidence in plenty of time to review before the show. We had to wait for a long time to even be escorted to a tiny "trailer" to wait for our appearance. We were supposed to have a tablet waiting for us to have a zoom briefing with the producer After asking 4 times and waiting over an hour I finally used my cell phone for our zoom meeting.
We were also told lunch was provided but when asked, the producer had to get her supervisor involved as we were it wasn't for show guests. Also during that time I was informed that a of the evidence I had submitted never reached Judy and she was going in "blind" so be able to submit my evidence Once in the courtroom, I was made to appear the "awful" tenant who refused to pay for damages caused or rent owed.
Judy supposedly had my complaint edited and written by producers but if she actually reviewed anything, she would have asked more questions. I lost and the defendant walked away getting away from bullying another family into moving out.
I was told afterward by producer, I told you to never agree with Judge Judy. So basically I was advised to "lie in court". Some of the questions asked were used to turn my case in the defendant's favor and again I reiterate that I was never given the opportunity to plead my case but was forced to sign an agreement stating that I cannot fight today's decision, which should have been a clue to walk away as every legal court hearing is allowed an appeal to a decision I have never ever been made to feel so stupid and low in my life.
This is an experience I wish I could forget. I have been an avid viewer of Judge Judy for as long as her show has existed. I have to say it is mostly very entertaining. I have noted in the last 4 or 5 years Judge Judy seems to have let the show go to her head.
WAYYY too much arrogance and attitude. For someone who has become a multi-multi millionaire from hearing the cases of the common folk, she has very little empathy or respect. I know that many of these litigants are sadly not very intelligent or sophisticated, but they are just people trying to live with the limited skills they may have. As we just mentioned, Judge Judy has been on the air for a record-breakingly long time.
That doesn't happen without stellar ratings, and America's most ornery small claims judge has got those for days. Raking in a stunning average of 6. And in exchange for her domination of daytime TV, Sheindlin has been handsomely rewarded. According to The Washington Post , Sheindlin recently renewed her contract through for an undisclosed amount. That is straight-up baller status, and it makes Sheindlin one of the highest paid, if not the highest paid women in all of television.
Oh yeah, Sheindlin also owns five multi-million dollar homes , a private jet , and at one time, a foot-long yacht, aptly named Triumphant Lady. As Byrd would say He'd just stand there looking stern with his arms folded. Judge Judy went on the air in But in , The Los Angeles Times did a story on Sheindlin in which they referred to her work in family court as a "highly personal crusade to bring order out of chaos," which "has assumed folkloric proportions in America's largest juvenile justice system.
Sheindlin did, however, use the book to begin showcasing her own trademark zingers, like "I'll send you so far upstate your mother will need a passport to visit you!
When Tony Robb's mother sent him to Cornerstone Christian School in Clearlake, CA, she didn't think her son would be locked in a storage closet for hours a day, but that's what happened. Connie Sager, Robb's godmother and benefactor She paid for a year of his tuition to attend Cornerstone subsequently appeared on Judge Judy , hoping she could get her tuition money back. Sager and the Robb family never could have predicted what followed. The defendants' testimony revealed that the majority of the staff not only lacked the necessary skills to deal with special-needs students like Robb, they even lacked Bachelor's degrees.
The principal only held an Associate degree. In case you're not informed about the requirements to be a school administrator, they go far beyond attending a two-year school.
Even worse: the superintendent only had a high school diploma. Following a justifiable tirade, Sheindlin awarded Sager the total of the tuition money. Sometime later, the school was apparently closed down completely. Marilyn Mosby, who prosecuted the case for the wrongful death of Freddy Gray, cut her teeth on Judge Judy. Back in , the then-Tuskegee University student appeared before Sheindlin, suing her neighbor for throwing a baby shower in her apartment, which destroyed the residence.
That must've been one wild shower. According to The Baltimore Sun , Mosby handled herself like a pro, bringing photographic evidence of the destruction with her. She ultimately won her case, and from there, went on to study at Boston College Law School. The rest is history. Talk about stepping up in life. In September of , Judge Judy celebrated its 20th season, which is a remarkable feat for any TV show, let alone one that features a cranky Brooklynite yelling at people for 30 straight minutes.
But it was a landmark achievement nonetheless, and one recognized by the Guinness World Records, who awarded Sheindlin that same year for having the "longest career as a TV judge. At the time of the award, Judge Judy had been on the air for just under 19 years, which amounted to 4, episodes and "more than 9, cases" heard.
As of this writing, Sheindlin is still presiding over her make-believe courtroom, and with Judge Joe Brown 's cancellation after 15 seasons , it's not likely any other TV judge will ever come close the her record. In , two former Judge Judy staffers sued the show's production company over alleged wrongful termination. According to ABC News , Karen Needle, a former associate producer who "helped book audiences for the show" alleged that she was fired and given the vague reason that it was due to "an unspecified conflict from her audience work.
Jonathan Sebastien, a former Senior Producer who was fired on the same day as Needle, told TMZ he believes he was fired for complaining about the "alleged whitewashing" of the litigants who got cast at the behest of show creator, Randy Douthit.
Sebastien also claims he was "berated and mocked," then fired after raising concerns about the casting policy. Sheindlin wasn't named in either case, and while it's unclear what became of the two lawsuits, Judge Judy remains on the air almost a decade later. Sheindlin reiterates the theme of responsibility and accountability over and over.
In other words, the producers help the defendants avoid accountability. This does not mean Judge Judy has no substance. In fact, few people have earned the right to moralize as much as Judy Sheindlin.
In one of her hardest cases , she had to decide whether a year-old mother was guilty of murder after her baby was found dead in a toilet.
This is the context where she first preached responsibility. But once she moved to television, Judy Sheindlin started chastising rulebreakers even as her show absolved them of responsibility. She grew up middle class in Brooklyn. But Judith Sheindlin had the personality of Judge Judy all along. She loved to argue so much that her father believed she would become a politician. Sheindlin has also said that she picked up comedic timing from her father, a dentist who told jokes to reassure his patients.
Sheindlin, though, was not in Hollywood. She married while in law school. To meet social expectations, she transferred to a law school in New York, where her husband worked, and prioritized cooking and cleaning over her studies. But after two unsatisfying years, she quit and became a stay-at-home mother. At one, a former colleague told her about an opening as a prosecutor in family court.
She took the job. Image via Giphy. Sheindlin found the work rewarding. Yet family court is distinctly unglamorous. Cases can be gruesome, but since they focus on minors, they exist at the bottom of the judicial hierarchy. Family courts receive fewer resources, and its judges and attorneys handle too many cases. Burnout is common. Many fans of Judge Judy now wonder whether Sheindlin bullies, insults, and mocks people in her courtroom for the sake of TV ratings.
She has always bullied, insulted, and mocked the people in her courtroom. In the article, reporter Josh Gelin introduced the world to the character now beloved by millions of fans of Judge Judy. The butt of those jokes were often litigants who Sheindlin felt wasted her time or made excuses—a phenomenon captured by Gelin in this memorable exchange:. Get a better story! Sheindlin has said that she always worried the press would describe her as a monster during her tenure as a judge.
Warner Bros. Reagan had signed a bill that introduced mandatory minimums in , and in , Bill Clinton approved legislation that built more prisons and toughened criminal sentences. The LA Times article fit Sheindlin into this tough on crime narrative—in laudatory terms.
The LA Times article attracted more attention, including that of 60 Minutes reporters. They approached Sheindlin, and in , they aired a story that portrayed her in similarly heroic terms. After she watched the 60 Minutes interview, Sheindlin celebrated by meeting up with friends and buying a tuna fish sandwich. She was fifty at the time, and she has said that she had planned a modest retirement in Florida. But the entertainment world saw big potential in the tour-de-force judge.
Then a producer with experience in court television told Sheindlin he wanted to cast her in a show.
