Judge Judy is just awful

r/

Everyone this shes so bad ass and so great. She’s just a mean old lady. She’s not a great judge, she’s unfair/unjust most of the time, she uses archaic ideas to guide whose side she takes. I can not understand why people love her so much.

    She is the epitomy of car crash tv – she’s made herself a multi millionaire by using her mean lady persona – it’s the only thing that’s gotten her on tv

    I love it when she insults the parties involved in the case, especially when she calls them stupid. It’s like Judge Judy roasts the plaintiff, then she roasts the defendant, then she tells the witness to get lost. It’s like a game show to see who gets burned.

    Her appearance is a facade. A good looking old lady, well dressed, judge, it’s all things that are upheld by society. It is a defence if she ever came under attack because she is supposed to be acting out of justice.

    Any action which crosses the line would only be seen as a “headstrong” person instead of an arrogant one, as mentioned because the old lady, good looking, judge facade is in play

    If she were none of those things, a lot of people would already be after her.

    Plus, the show is all about drama, she doesn’t give a damn about justice or what’s good. People like drama, and swallow that show right up. Good intentions aren’t broadcast on tv, they’re in the little moments which rarely make it on camera in our lives

    She’s a national treasure. Not loving Judge Judy is downright un-American

    I watched her for years and found her entertaining, but over the past 10 years she’s so out of touch with real poor people’s lives, limited choices, etc. She has no use for anyone on disability benefits, doesn’t understand that people can’t just up and move if there’s roommates and leases, or that people not legally married may need assistance splitting joint assets. In her more current iteration Judy Justice, she has her granddaughter working as her “court clerk” to do everything involving technology and a court reporter to remind her what people said earlier. She’s also obviously decided every case before hearing any testimony. She really is just s mean old rich lady now.

    I think she has turrets syndrome and dementia.

    I’ve been saying this for years. She’s just flat out mean and I don’t like it at all. Other judge shows can play for background noise that I barely pay attention to, but I switch the channel whenever she comes on

    She once judged that the defendant would keep a dog that wasn’t hers but the one suing can use the dog for breeding. It was the one suing dog she let the defendant take care of because she was lonely and the defendant was trying to get the dog neutered!! I hate dog breeders and dog breeding but that was just an absolutely unfair judgement. Judy should have given the dog back to the one suing.

    Judge Judy is just background noise at the welfare office or a greyhound bus terminal.

    Man disappointed in caliber of TV judge’s jurisprudence

    I know her from when she lived in a high rise Naples Florida condo. Everyone in the building hated her. Everyone.

    shes been practicing law more than most people were alive for.

    you cannot question her judgements.

    its not real. the people are paid actors. its not a real courtroom. its just entertainment.

    dr phil isn’t a real doctor either.

    gordon ramsay shows are all heavily scripted.

    wrestling is predetermined.

    your mom was santa and the easter bunny.

    I didn’t watch her show often, but her judgments actually seemed very fair.

  30. Dazzling-Treacle1092 Avatar

    I’ve always hated shows like this. Something like legal adjudication should not be turned into entertainment. The minute it is, the process is corrupted. A judge on camera for the consumption of the public cannot judge rightly.

    my parents were sat at a table with her for a wedding. they said she was very nice and they had great conversation.

    i cant speak to her personal character, but the personality that you see on her show is a tv character.

    i didnt work on her show, but i used to work on another kinda well known trash tv court show.

    the personality of the judge was not something that was “developed” and they judge was fantastic and not like the personality Judge Judy, but there are conversations about what we need on camera.

    edit: i never liked the show judge judy. and for the record, I wouldnt event watch my show if i wasnt being paid for it. i wasnt the target demographic. but honestly, i do see much of that sort of entertainment a blight on a decent society.

    She understands how the world works, reasonang, and.basic logic. She expects grown ass adults to have the skills to be adults. She does not suffer fools (maturity or developmental) easily
    If you don’t like what she’s saying,ask yourself why .

  33. theodoraroosevelt Avatar

    Its a show that makes decisions on matters that are no where near life ending for anyone. Also i believe the show pays for the money she makes the judgement on so its really beneficial for everyone (aside from their egos lol)

    And Gordon Ramsey is really that angry without having died from stress.

    At the very least, Judge Judy has a law degree (unlike “Judge” Steve Harvey).

    Check out https://www.youtube.com/@CourtHawk1 if you want to see a Judge that actually is good and cares. I just found this channel a few days ago.
