Judge Judy hates poor people and shows no empathy towards people in tough situations. How can anybody like her?

People who go on that show knowing they're going to get abused are pretty much asking for TV justice. Which has no bases in law

She’s right.

All reality shows are scripted shows. The credits list the writers. This is not a spontaneous dialogue.

Judy says what most of us are thinking. Love her.

Kathy Griffin said that Judge Judy is crack for old people and it's so true. My Mom is in her 80s and lives her show. In her eyes she's dispensing necessary justice in the world (rolls eyes).

I cannot stand her.

Remember when she told that Black woman "Why are you Black? Why don't you just be White?"

Well, she's no Suze Orman, that's for sure.

I Judge Judy a refreshing change from all of the buzzkill people who measure every word they utter.

[quote]She doesn't seem to understand that poor people have less options.

I think her point is that many people are poor due to a lifetime of bad decision-making. So she goes on a rant and highlights their continued bad decisions.

The point of Judge Judy is that she's a nasty rightwing cunt and she appeals to nasty rightwing cunts who feel that their studied callousness and lack of empathy is simply "tellin' it like it is," which is why she's hailed as a hero on Datalounge.

She's got nothin' on Judge Dredd.

Did the girlfriend call the cops? If she had a restraining order Judge Judy should have let her out of the lease. If there was no police report and restraining order, Judy is bound by the contract.

What OP describes is a very tough New York attitude. New Yorkers can have a real sink or swim attitude to people and life. Look at NY's history and it makes sense.

R14 Definitely. NYers took NYC from a small Dutch beaver trading outpost to the greatest city in the world. That takes a lot of grit.

Well yes that’s terrible her lack of understanding of the very real affordable housing crisis in this country. I do enjoy when she tears new assholes of irresponsible pet owners( especially the owners of pittbulls)

R14 So why isn't NY a solid red state?

[quote]She doesn't seem to understand that poor people have less options

Oh dear.

At least she stopped telling people to.collect.cans for.money.

She’s a Trump Cunt and the people on her show are ghetto & trailer trash.

That Judy is a cunt is not news. Back in the first year of her show, she was asked what should be done with heroin addicts and her response was "give 'em dirty needles, and let 'em die".

I wonder of the defendants do pay the settled amount to the plaintiffs on that show. There are some really scummy people... I wouldn't be surprised if nothing was paid.

OP, you're a moron. Just because she holds someone to account doesn't mean she "hates poor people." She signed a lease and knew the rules. Because this woman had low self-esteem and didn't leave an abusive relationship earlier doesn't mean her debts should be waived. Grow up.

R21, link please

@r15 "Dutch beaver trading outpost "

The Dutch were into prostitution trafficking? 😳

She has repressed lez vibes

She reminds of nasty elementary school teachers and the powerlessness I felt around them.

She's a wizened old overpaid cunt

R3, I'm not entirely sure about that. Comedian Ben Palmer has regularly trolled many of these court shows where he and a friend of his make up a story and pretend to sue each other. I'm aware that the shows producers cover the costs of whatever the ruling ends up being, so the person actually charged never ends up paying anything. But beyond that, they "scripted' the dialogue themselves and pranked the show.

r24, it took 3 seconds to find on Google. Don't be lazy.

^ the not they, stupid auto correct.

Judge Judy being an asshole is not news. I've only seen one episode of that show and I couldn't understand why people love her, she's a massive twat.

[quote]I couldn't understand why people love her, she's a massive twat.

Because she tells it like it is. If you’re in court because you acted stupid, she straight up tells you that you’re stupid. People enjoy someone who doesn’t censor what they say through the lens of political correctness.

Maga Harpy Jewess

Yeah, she's so ethical and moral that she'd vote for corrupt shit like Trump.

Well... that's what 99 percent of judges and prosecutors are like. They adore the rich and connected but will pile every charge in the book on someone poor, socially vulnerable and weak. I always laugh at the cultural depiction in shows like law and order of prosecutors and judges being these highly moral warriors for justice.

Nobody likes poor people.

Stop watching her. Solved.

Let’s not pretend that most judges have it out for poor people. The law is the law and whether they like it or not, all judges SHOULD be applying the law as set forth by their city councils, state legislatures, the US Congress and the Constitution of the United States, or of precedent depending on the court.

Of course all of this is moot, because as binding aberration. She doesn’t really have to adhere to the law in civil matters.

r4, the same can be said for Trump.

Oh, for Christ's sake, she doesn't "hate poor people." She hates laziness and stupidity and immorality, and lots of people who come on her show are the epitome of it.

Judge Judy hates EVERYONE. That’s what makes her fabulous.

I love her. She calls out bad decisions and stupid people.

No she doesn't R43. It's all scripted. She's an actress who reads a script they give her. Some of you are beyond gullible.

"I wonder of the defendants do pay the settled amount to the plaintiffs on that show. "

Usually the court show pays the settled amount.

That's part of the reason people go on these shows. Even if they lose they don't have to pay but the debt is wiped out.

Plus they get a trip to the filming site and paid hotel, etc.

Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining. Um is not an answer!

END OF FUCKING THREAD!

[quote]Oh, for Christ's sake, she doesn't "hate poor people." She hates laziness and stupidity and immorality, and lots of people who come on her show are the epitome of it.

She hates laziness, stupidity and immorality WHEN they're poor. Trump is a stupid, immoral and intellectually lazy pile of dogshit and I don't doubt for a second she supported him. So she's fine with scum as long as they have money. She's fine with racism and bigotry as long as they have money and in her case, up Israel's ass since she and Joan Rivers were buddies, I don't doubt they had/have the same disgusting, racist views.

I’m guessing she has a complicated relationship with DLers. Sometimes she is right in the money when are idiots are idiots. She did Byrd wrong in the end.

I thought Peter Minuet paid $24 in beads to a bunch of Native Americans for Manhattan. That's what I call New York grit.

Byrd is a millionaire because of her. You think he'd be that rich on a pension from being a bailiff ? I agree she did him wrong though,she could have went a whole diferent way about it had she been more thoughtful . It sounds like she basically ghosted him. Her new show sucks balls anyway.

[quote]Yeah, she's so ethical and moral that she'd vote for corrupt shit like Trump.

Source?? Because from what I found this is a LIE. She supported Bloomberg.

I prefer Judge Mathis.

"Abusive" is used far too widely now. "Abusive" now could mean her ex made her "uncomfortable" or demanded she pay half the bills. Did he beat her up? Did he lock her outside in the cold? What? I sympathize with Judge Judy hearing the victim card played over and over. I'd explode at them too.

[quote] It's all scripted. She's an actress who reads a script they give her. Some of you are beyond gullible.

So everything she says on her show is scripted? Are the plaintiff and defendant scripted too? You must be fucking kidding.

Judy Judy is not an actress, she was a NYC family court judge. She figured she'd make much more money as a TV judge than remaining at her old job.

This woman is a perfect hero for working class MAGAts. They hate the same things she hates.

Unfortunately for them, they're too ignorant to realize she despises the working class. Judy hates the people appearing on her TV court, she also hates her viewing audience.

When her show first appeared I didn't like her because she belittled people, and that seemed harsh because arguing your own case in court is intimidating enough! So I stopped watching. Years later I started watching again and while she is still tough, her rulings are pretty straight forward, reasoned and fair.

Love her.

She is a cruel person and the tv show is appalling.

The reason people enjoy watching her is because she is masterful at spotting and exposing liars. She embarks on a course of questioning that makes people who are dumb enough to try and make up a story ultimately look like absolute fools. It is extremely satisfying to watch this deserved humiliation as it unfolds. The fact that shes an absolutely over-the-top curmudgeon with no patience or empathy adds a nice comedic touch to the proceedings. The entire package provides a unique form of entertainment that never gets old, which is why repeats of Judge Judy (which is no longer in production) top all current syndicated shows in the ratings.

[quote]Unfortunately for them, they're too ignorant to realize she despises the working class. Judy hates the people appearing on her TV court, she also hates her viewing audience.

Nice to know you can read her mind. You also claim she supports Trump but that is a LIE.

R56 Family court judge. All you need to know!

Judge Judy’s audience is overwhelmingly female, browner than the general population, and skews Democratic. The unifying commonality is that they are lower income and have, on average, less than $100 per week to spend.

This is at least what the advertisers are told when being sold as space during her show. I assume they know what they are talking about.

R64 Source of this data ?

Google, duh

Judge Judy hates stupid people who play the victim card. The same people say they hate her on this very thread. Yes you know who you are. You are the stupid people who play the victim card.

Judge Judy said in 2015 that she was "crazy about Donald" but that he needed to "tone it down." That's why people think she supported Trump. She certainly doesn't hate him.

R48, Byrd made a shit load of money for years for basically showing up and doing crossword puzzles. He should be thanking her for his house, cars and the education of his children.

Judy can see through smart asses who think they'll get over on her and she lets them know,

She is and has a shriveled old smelly cunt!

She doesn't have some kind of moral or ethical right to be disrespectful and rude to Byrd just because he earned a lot of money when he worked for her on the previous show. Saying he should thank her for the money and let her be rude to him because of the money is really creepy.

What supposedly happened between her and Byrd?

Since she had her eyes done, the left one moves more slowly than the right. Tight left eyes are always the clue.

r7

link?

R75 Do you really think she may have actually said that??

I like Judge Judy very much.

R60, sure, she's the cruel one, not the ones who are being sued for the crap they've done.

Poor people make a lot of stupid mistakes that are not always tied to poverty, but keeps them in a bad place. You can totally understand why Judy gets pissed off at them.

Imagine Judge Judy is naked twice a day.

[quote]The point of Judge Judy is that she's a nasty rightwing cunt

Judge Judy is super liberal.

Maybe she's changed, but I watched a number of episodes once while recovering from a procedure, and I didn't really see what OP's talking about. Sure, she had on a lot of poor people, and her decisions were for entertainment purposes, but I'd say almost everyone that got her sass deserved it. People were taking things that didn't belong to them, not paying their roomies rent while still partying hard, damaging things left and right, etc. Then, of course, they would lie their asses off about it.

I queefeed out a kid, You owe me!

[quote] Judge Judy is super liberal.

No, she isn't. She's a right-wing misanthrope, like most of the "liberal" posters here at Datalounge. The American "liberal" would be considered right-wing in any other country. This is how far to the right this country has swung that some victim-blaming, poor-people-bashing crank like Judge Judy would be regarded as "super liberal."

Besides, she supported Bloomberg, who is far from "super liberal."

Who is this Byrd you gays keep harping about?

He's the bailiff, R85. They knew each other when she was a family court judge in NYC and he was a court cop. He asked her for a job when her show started years ago. She hired him. He got paid very well for years and acquired a little fame for basically doing very little. Christ, Vanna White worked a lot harder than Byrd ever did and looked a lot better doing it.

r86

was there another bailiff before Byrd on Judge Judy

R87, nope, he was with her from the beginning to the end of the series.

This is where Judge Judy first gained national attention a 1993 profile and interview on 60 minutes.

She's not conservative.

So now DL has a problem with someone being snarky?

Would it have been nice for Judy to reach out to Bryd, thank him, and let him know the new show wouldn’t need his services? Sure. But, you know what is hell of a lot nicer? Getting paid millions for literally standing still, which he did for years. Judy could set his wife on fire, shit on his mothers grave, and be should still be forever grateful.

supposedly she couldn't bring Byrd over due to the risk of being sued but he is coming to the new version of hot bench as their bailiff

[quote]She is a cruel person and the tv show is appalling.

She’s a [bold]cool[/bold] person and the tv show is [bold]appealing[/bold].

There, I fixed it.

You gays watch way too much TV when you *should* be out there making as much money as possible so you can retire one of these days!

This show is just designed for people to feel better about themselves and laugh at uneducated people in unfortunate situations. The audience thinks "well I'm not that pathetic enough to on Judge Judy, Judge Mathis, Jerry Springer, Maury..." It's all dark comedy. Nobody is getting hurt though, it's all manipulated and the people go on for attention and the money (they get paid for it).

[quote]She’s a cool person and the tv show is appealing.

Trollina, there it NOTHING likable or appealing about this nasty sour cunt.

Anyone who takes pleasure in watching this vile shit show needs to have their fucking head examined. I have better things to do with my time. I cannot believe this bitch makes $40 million a YEAR on this garbage fest.

Her father was my dentist from when I was about 6 until I was 15. The office was in the front of their house in Brooklyn. He was always very kind to me, quiet, professional, and did excellent orthodontic work. When he finally took off my braces, he said, "You're ready for Hollywood."

Her mother always wore a white uniform, including her shoes. Opening the front door, late as usual or having missed an appointment, facing her behind the office desk was like facing Judge Judy in court. She was cold, distant, professional. Seemed a little stern to me as a young kid. Judge Judy's very handsome brother started treating his father's patients. He and his wife were young, just wonderful! Super kind and warm, friendly, happy, and even I could pick up that they were very much in love.

My father was a blue collar worker, but her parents always treated him respectfully and fairly. In all the years I and my siblings went to him, I don't recall any disputes, tension, or ill will, besides us kids just never wanting to go to or be at the dentist. I never saw Judge Judy.

I can imagine most her newer audience are MAGAts, people who stand for nothing but hate.

Sludge Judy has sure stated in past interviews she's a ReThug. People who care about others need to stop defending this POS.

Judge Judy's Playbook and Dump's too.

Judge Judy and Judge Mathis at least have a sense of a humor even if twisted. I get why people watch. Its people like Nancy Grace and Bill O'Reilly who were annoying as fuck that I don't understand how people watched them.

It takes a real CUNT to display such cuntery. JJ must be a hoot at parties, not that she's ever been invited to one(they're all afraid that she'll sue them, no doubt). Judgemental Judy.

Her poor maid.

She’s 80. It will only be a matter of time. Broken hip. Diapers. Etc.,.

She wants her pound of flesh.

She also officiated at a same-sex wedding and was quite vocal in her support.

People like this should not be judges. Judy’s behavior is as appalling as it is ridiculous.

They spit on her lochs and bagels. Her coffee klatch consists of one.

R15 a small beaver?

I’m Pro Judge Judy

"Lochs", R108?

Oh, dear!

Locks, lochs, lox!

Robin of Loxley 🏹

They should can her and use Madame as her replacement.

[quote]Source?? Because from what I found this is a LIE. She supported Bloomberg.

It doesn't matter who she supported. She's a ReThug. The ultra rich like Judy have benefited greatly from Dump's tax policies.

What don't you comprehend?

It's fun watching her tear into the idiots that come on that show, although sometimes it's excruciating when a very mentally ill person is testifying. People like that should not be exploited by having them go on tv and show the world how insane they are.

You're a BUM, OP!

Judy Judy Judy I love her. She talks likes us. She acts like we do. It would be hilariously hypocritical for people on this thread to say SHE is mean. Oh come on!

Judy isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Even she admitted that she was no academic. This is probably why she talks down to people. She’s overcompensating.

The world went to into a tailspin when judge wapner was replaced by that horrid woman.

[quote]Sludge Judy has sure stated in past interviews she's a ReThug. People who care about others need to stop defending this POS.

You keep repeating this with NO FUCKING PROOF! Actual evidence shows she has only endorsed Bloomberg and has supported gay marriage.

You jus that her because you're jealous and probably anti-semitic t boot.

[quote] Judge Judy … How can anybody like her?

She isn't there to be liked. She's there as an independent arbitrator between two warring parties. And sometimes she has to arbitrate over the use of taxpayers' money being given to unscrupulous freeloaders.

R105 okay, Kanye.

Judge Judy has always been hugely problematic. She should have been canceled a LONG fucking time ago. An old rich miserable white cunt with hundreds of millions sitting on a raised dais screaming at poor and disadvantaged people who owe a couple of thousand dollars? It’s fucking ridiculous. The lionizing, hagiography, and blind worship of her is bizarre to say the fucking least.

She is everything that is wrong with America.

^^^ So basically you think the small claims court system is "everything that's wrong with America"

R125 gets just about everything in life wrong.

She’s another one who I initially thought was cool, but no, she’s not…nasty, dismissive cunt.

I watched the credits for the original show and there are NO writers listed. Some of the "court" shows do have actors reading scripts, but JJ isn't one of them.

Because JJ was doing a NEW show - she had to agree with the old production company that the new show would have a new cast and format so the old company could continue showing reruns and not mix people up.....senile folks wouldn't know they were watching reruns.

So no Byrd. As someone wrote upthread - he's back in the different court show her company is producing that starts up this year. Judy Justice new episodes start next week.

[quote] Judge Judy has always been hugely problematic.

No, R124, that's your opinion.

[quote]She isn't there to be liked. She's there as an independent arbitrator between two warring parties. And sometimes she has to arbitrate over the use of taxpayers' money being given to unscrupulous freeloaders.

Taxpayers money? Most of JJ's cases are between private citizens.

I'm figuring you have no problem with corporate welfare? That's OK, right? The Repub CEOs are some of the biggest freeloaders in the US. Most wealthy Repubs don't pay their fair share of taxes, while depriving their workers suitable compensation.

Multi-billionaire dollar companies such as WalMart purposely hire part-timers so they don't have to give their workers healthcare, pensions or much of anything else. This practice, in turn, causes their workers to apply for Medicaid. Same with that vile Amazon. Bezos is always fighting unions and claims his workers are "lazy". What a POS.

Read and learn about the ongoing corruption of these billion dollar corporations and the vile Koch brothers.

[quote] I'm figuring you have no problem

You figure incorrectly.

Court judges prefer facts over opinions, guesswork and zealotry.

She is a bad judge. What is she a small claims court judge? She is appalling and ridiculous.

Of course the show isn’t scripted. Its a lot cheaper that way, for one.

She's actually very sympathetic if she believes you truly merit assistance and not just milking taxpayers. Unfortunately, her time in the legal profession has jaded her to the point where she believes 99.99 % are abusing the system.

[quote] her time in the legal profession has jaded her to the point where she believes 99.99 % are abusing the system.

She has become jaded because her time in the legal profession has enabled her to see that large percentage are abusing the system.

She is a small claim court judge, then she only does it on that stupid tv show. She is racist, yes. She treats people appallingly. It is taped.

[quote] She treats people appallingly…

Were you appalled when you watched it, R136?

Are you appalled every single time you watch it?

Priceonomics had an excellent piece on her.

[quote] But after she orders guilty defendants to pay for what they've done, the show's producers write a check to cover the damages.

So what?

R131 has missed the point completely. What a moron.

It is quite obvious Judy brings her political leanings into her TV court room, only a moron would refuse to see that.

Who the fuck keeps bringing up "assistance" and "milking taxpayers"?! Most of Judy's TV cases have zero to do with people getting government assistance or suing cops or government workers. Stop trolling.

You think most of these cases are real? These are actual facts on a TV court show? Surely you jest!

If these cases were the sorts of mundane ones Judy dealt with as an actual judge who the hell would watch this crapfest?

Everyday judges hold criminals to account and no one bitches about that. Judy is doing the same thing and both sides agree that her decision is final before committing to her arbitration.

Her son is a big Republican in NY.

Her new ridiculous show features her family. I think one of them is a young niece of hers. It’s a mess.

r145

I believe it's her granddaughter

R144 Which son are you talking about?

I came just for the argument of her political affiliation. For the record, she’s a member of the bitch party. Take not shit!

No**

Judy is a small claims court judge. Then, she only does it for this TV show. None of these people are criminals. See how her shows fuck people up.

It is very appalling, deeply shocking.

Who keeps repeating the fallacy that Judy was a "small claims court judge"? Where do you get this info? JJ plays a small claims court judge on TV, she was never one in real life.

Judy Sheindlin, is a former prosecutor and Manhattan family court judge. Family court is not small claims court. I'm not a fan but I do know what her former job was. Get your fucking facts straight.

Screw that bigoted Judge Judy .......

😍 I want to know where Judge Alex is ?

She forgot where she came from. $50 million a year will do that. She's been doing that for twenty years. I watched one show years ago where someone was suing for $100 and she basically said, it's $100, get over it. Never watched again.

Judge Judy is no Judge Warner…

Judge Judy is no Judge Wapner.

How is the return of a security deposit a family court judge case? The tv show is small claims court.

[quote] I want to know where Judge Alex is ?

You should check out his Twitter. He's even more right wing that Judge Judy.

Politically, she is a moderate democrat.

Judy shows little empathy or understanding of how being poor can impact life choices. But she was a family court judge in NYC for years. I cant imagine how many child abuse and neglect cases she was forced to review evidence on....

Judy is a former judge but an "arbitrator" on the show. She has no jurisdiction. I like her but she needs to move on now. Her "Um is not an answer" is silly, since she interrupts the person who is only starting to answer. However, she's great at asking questions to learn more about the person, and then goes for the kill.

Her new show is not as good as her old one. Something is off. Maybe her age. The energy level is lower. She also seems less mean.

I distinctly remember an old show where she showed a human side. A man who it became clear was mildly mentally deficient had been scammed. As it became clear she became visibly upset, stopped his testimony and ripped the defendant a new one.

[quote] Judge Judy is no Judge Wapner.

You want to talk conservative Republicans...Wapner was the epitome of one. I loathed him. He looked the part of a kindly, wise Judge but he was definitely NOT one. On his show he came across as snide and blase and very comfortable in his perceived superiority. And his decisions usually were the wrong ones. He seemed to prefer some people more than others, the evidence be damned. He was a lousy Judge.

R160 Here is another good one, in which a mother is being slandered by the husbands new wife. Judy puts her hand up to the other, looks at her as to say “I got this” and then lets the new wife have it!

Former family court judge, huh? I wonder how Judy would have handled the POS trash bag Long Guyland cop who tortured his young son, the cop forced the boy sleep in a freezing cold garage and, didn't feed the kid regularly. The boy eventually died.

The cop was recently arrested. Of course, the cop had a new slut wife and his first wife, due to the cop's lies, wasn't given custody of the son and another child, thank that child was a boy too. For whatever reason, the family court judge believed the cop over the sons biological mother. CPS obviously also weren't doing their jobs.

I'm not that fond of Judge Judy, but I love that case posted R162. She let that "witch" of a stepmother have it, as well as that dumb-ass father.

I think the new season of Judy Justice starts today.

Don't you gays ever watch pleasant, non-combative TV programs? 🤷‍♂️

Is she still wearing that ponytail? It makes her look like Harvey Keitel.

Totally agree, OP. I loathe Judge Judy.

From what I recall, the show paid the judgment to the winner.

So if you were in a monetary dispute with someone who had no means to pay you back-going on here was an easy way to get your money and a free trip to LA.

Did you ever notice with some of the more frivolous cases , she would ask the plaintiff and defendant in a mocking tone -“did you have a good flight? How’s the hotel? How’s the food?” She knew they were full of shit.

I had a coworker who went on the show 10 years ago. She was a single mom and lent her ex boyfriend $4,000, which he never paid back. Judy lectured het on being an idiot and not prioritizing her child-but she got her money.

The popularity of Judge Judy should have told us that President Trump could actually happen.

They have the same appeal to the same people.

YOU ATE THE STEAK!

That’s what you get for playing house! Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining!

Judy's expertise is family court. She's superb at it because she knows the system, she knows the participants and she obviously knows the law. She's also very evenhanded when it comes to her judgements, i.e. men vs. women. One memorable case had the wife suing her husband for abuse. She had been to court over a dozen times. Judy came in having read the history and really let the wife have it for trying to use the system for her own vendetta. After dismissing her case, the husband said almost tearfully that it took JJ only fifteen minutes to resolve what he's been going through for numerous years with a variety of judges. Judy also told him that there is now a recording of her abuse of the system, although whether any other Judge would give it any credence is debatable.

Also Judge Milian of Peoples Court comes from a Construction family and any type of case that involves that will almost certainly merit an excellent and understandable ruling. For her faults (she's a Trumper), Milian recognizes that court is not the lottery (one of her sayings) and won't simply give the maximum because she can. She says the courts are to make you whole, not to put you in a better position than when you started.

THEY DON'T KEEP ME AROUND BECAUSE I'M BEAUTIFUL

I tell this story often because it shows how things have evolved and how there is a ton of unflattering JJ moments locked away in a vault, never to be seen.

I went to a very early taping of JJ. It was before the professional audiences they now use. The case was of an old woman who was suing a guy for injuries after he alleged knocked her down in the street. The defendant said she tried to hit him with her cane but fell over. JJ used all her insults on the guy, calling him a liar and also saying "look at that woman? does she look like she'd cause the injuries to herself? Well, this guy had a secret weapon. He had a recording of the incident. when he produced the video in his hand, I saw the panicked look on the staff. This was obviously way before home surveillance was commonplace and was recorded from a store nearby. JJ allowed the tape to be brought into evidence, a surprise because he didn't reveal it before but everyone in the audience was aware that it had to back up his story or he wouldn't have brought it. They took a short recess and brought in a TV monitor and VCR. They confiscated the tape before so I'm certain JJ saw it. They played the tape in court and sure enough, the kindly old lady was nothing but a racist old bitch who told the defendant not to walk on her street. He had a few choice words for her and then turned to leave. The woman tried to hit him from behind with her cane and missed. She fell down and immediately started screaming that he pushed her. The audience OHHHHHH and groaned. A total gotcha moment. JJ had dug a hole for herself and said something like "you need professional help" to the woman before dismissing the case. We in the audience boo'd because it was so unsatisfying and JJ based her entire performance on her own prejudices. The case never aired.

r173 Millian supported Rubio in 2016 (not surprisingly). But I much prefer her to JJ

No what she hates is poor people who make poor decisions. She hates all people who make poor decisions it just seems nastier to the poor because their actions have more crippling effects on their entire situation.

Y’all should know Judge Judy gets their statements probably their entire case package from small claim court. She has a feel of the case before the televised appearance. What she probably smells is bullshit. The woman is so abused but yet won’t move back with parents because she doesn’t get along with them. They doesn’t make fkin sense. A real battered woman will learn to get along with her parents for safety. It doesn’t make sense cause the shit ain’t true. There are mitigating circumstances. The boyfriend is not just some raging Mike Tyson. No the bitch wanted break up so decided to break the lease.

You know very little about domestic violence, r178, and its dynamics.

R179 you are an idiot. Don’t tell me what I know. The woman never said she couldn’t move back with her parents. Her lying ass said they don’t get along. She is an idiot as well.

Judge Judy, is that you?

She's just a greedy cunt, look had who she backed in the last election. It's all about money with her. Keep in mind, she basically gave up being a judge once she went on TV. She's and actor who used to be a judge, but not a real on on that show. Those big TV pay checks were way more important to her than actual justice. She's Justice Thomas in an old Jewish woman's body.

So you met on Grinder........

What is “adult novelty”?

I absolutely loathe her as a general matter but will confess to admiring her years ago when she lectured a married woman on her show about the importance of working outside the home to maintain your independence and financial stability if your husband leaves you, dies, dicks around on you, etc. (I.e., stop looking at marriage as a meal ticket.)

She was dead on about that. On almost everything else, she's a--YOU KNOW WHAT!

I absolutely love Judge Judy and we need more judges like her.

The only people who hate her are exactly the kind of people Judge Judy would rip the shit out of and they know it. Like fat trollster R185.

Judge Judy destroys teenage cunt and her idiot mother.

Judge Judy gives freak suing her landlady over Tupperware enough rope to hang herself before destroying her.

In the 60 Minute piece, it noted that justice is swift in her courtroom. We need that as well.

I'd love to see Judge Judy do Trump.

R182 yeah because supporting Bloomberg makes one a fringe nut. Rolls 👀.

Love it when she sensed a case was fake and the participants just wanted a free trip to LA. Those cases were dismissed quickly.

R192, but they still got the free trip to LA so joke's on her.

This is pretty powerful and in a real sense could only be said by JJ.

Beauty fades, dumb is forever. 💅🏻

Most of today’s college students think Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court

I hate her stupid fking face and show. She’s an evil twat.

Nothing is tougher than being a lesbian fire dancer who brings suit against your girlfriend for setting your couch on fire

I'd like to see Judge Judy as guest moderator of Datalounge for a day. She would leave comments. That would be interesting.

Why is or was Judge Judy so angry (before she got filthy rich) from day one? That's what I want to know. Can you imagine being one of her kid?

Judy got her start as a family court judge, and set up a lot of the earliest court precedents in New York family law as we know it. She was instrumental in those early years.

Then she moved to LA and made half a billion dollars by yelling at white trash on camera.

It was a minor kerfuffle.

Why didn’t they have her do a show related to family court and children . It was clearly her passion-she got animated anytime a case involved the dissolution of a relationship or warring parents.

It couldn’t have been concern over exploiting innocent children-she did that hundreds of times over the years.

R203. That would have gotten tiresome and depressing. JJ worked because of the variety of cases. Some serious and some wacky.

R200 “Yeah that Cheryl woman? What’s her deal? Does she need a shower? And who is this Greg guy? Is he like on Master Chef? And what is “ONLY. FANS.”?”

Love her. I love it when she goes after stupidity

I can't stand Judge Judy.

[quote] The woman is so abused but yet won’t move back with parents because she doesn’t get along with them. They doesn’t make fkin sense. A real battered woman will learn to get along with her parents for safety.

Guess you never heard of abusive parents.
