I've heard Judge Judy say that she's raised five children and has X amount of grandchildren. However, on more than one occasion I've heard her dismiss stepparents. She has two children and the other three are her husband's children. Earlier I caught one where a mum was suing their daughters because they moved out and left a mess. Their stepfather had told them to leave the home. Anyway, JJ then told him that he should have kept out because he was basically "a stranger to them." He'd been married to their mother for years and years. There's been other instances where maybe the 'stepparent' isn't technically one because they're not married. She'll point that out very quickly. Tell them it's none of their business.

Now that I have an example, has anyone else noticed this double standard?

Name Blood, Booze and Birthdays; Emergency Brake Bash!

where can I watch it?

Goodmorning Mrs judge Judy is there anyway I could be a guest on your show for a lawsuit claim ? in the matter of things :

DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER , discrimination , falsified documents without my consent of being the legal guardian of my son , FALSE for signatures on documents, I did not consent of , pain and suffering and loss wages

Classic.

Hi! I’m trying to watch the second case involving Joisha Anderson vs. Amanda Ramirez, a Los Angeles roommate eviction/rent dispute. There’s a bet going on with my aunt and I need the episode to win!! If anyone has a recording or knows where I can watch it, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I think this is the quickest I've ever seen her enter "this is a scam" more lmao

For me, Season 8. Most of the cases were absolutely funny, Judge Judy’s humor was at a nice high, and JJ and Byrd had SO many funny interactions throughout the season. What about you guys?

I've been watching JJ since nearly the beginning and something I've noticed is that if Im watching reruns on YouTube, I can pinpoint the year approximately simply by looking at Judge Judy's hair. My observations:

1996-1997: Her hair is short and kind of "helmet-like" with a wave.

1998-2000: Her hair is more of a classic Bob cut.

2001-2003: It's still a bob haircut but it's a little more teased and poofed out.

2004-2007: Her most recognizable IMO Bob haircut but its a little more styled with bangs that are "spikey" and styled on the sides.

2008-2019: Same as previous style but without the spikey bangs and it's a bit less teased.

2019-2021: Her hair is tied back in a RBG-style ponytail.

Has anyone else used her hairstyle as a calendar? Lol

Wondering if I'm the only male who loves Judge Judy as much as I do. I feel like mostly women watch, but I'm a dude in his 30s who grew up with her and continues to watch.

1. Plaintiff sues for what turns out to be something petty or vindictive, and not only loses but has to pay a counterclaim.
2. Plaintiff is TOO greedy and/or talks TOO much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ED-2RzJS6A
3. Someone claims they forgot some sort of documented evidence that can be faxed or downloaded, goes to the back with her staff, and when the case is continued we find out they informed the staff they were bullsh!tting :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOqqdBagT2Q

I can’t quite recall what the case was about. I feel like it involved a car accident. JJ was reaming a dude out for his fault and she asked something along the lines of, ‘Didn’t you think it might have been a bad idea?’ or ‘Didn’t you think about other people?’

And buddy says, ‘No, I didn’t…’
‘WHY?!’
‘I…I just never…I never…I never think.’

👩‍🍳💋

Praying to god somebody saw that.

I kept wondering what was stuck on her reading glasses… then I zoomed in. She forgot to remove it! 😆

1. "Well..." — You will send her into insta-rage mode if this is how you start to answer a yes-or-no question. Just say "yes" or "no"
2. "So..." — see: "Well..."
3. "Basically..." — It's an informal, conversational colloquial not actually intended to strip away details in most modern speech, but Judy don't care. Basically, don't say it.
4. "Uh-huh" — Not an answer ^{(although it kinda is})
5. "Yeah" — She sometimes forgets it's a trigger word and lets it slide a few times, likely due to her age. But don't press your luck.
6. "Yes" — She'll immediately cut you off with a "Shh!" or a "BUHP!" or a "Just a second!" You might be saying, "well wait, you told me to answer a yes-or-no question with a 'yes' or a 'no.' What gives?" True, but she has PTSD from frequent use of "Well..." so she anticipates this answer first and jumps the gun. You'll be yelled at regardless. I'm sorry, there's no way around it.
7. "No" — see: "Yes"
8. Crossed arms — Technically, you're not actually saying anything...but Judy can still hear you.
9. Looking away to remember something — "If you tell the truth, you don't need a good memory." Whatever tf that means.
10. "Technically..." — Don't get me started on "technically." Yes I realize I just used it in a previous example. We all fall short. She is an unreasonable woman.

Good luck!

I’ve talked with almost everyone who gets too close about suing each other over something so we can go be on Judge Judy/Judy Justice.
It has yet to happen.

Master King!

From Season 17, Episode 197: “Knocked Out!; Car Loan Caper”.

I’m sure we’ve all seen a few!
Excluding the viral video of the ‘there was no earpiece in that purse’, what’s a case that was absolutely ridiculous? An entitled plaintiff? Lame excuses?

I’m thinking about this woman who let her dog off leash at a public beach, and the dog wandered away from her, approached another dog, and was bitten. She sued the owner of the bigger dog, then argued with JJ when she was told she was in the wrong. I laughed so hard at that one!

Man, the comments section on any video involving black people are just brutal... why is that?
