'Judge Judy' at Center of Multimillion-Dollar Lawsuit 

they should settle this case on judge Judy. and have judge Judy be both the judge and the defendant running back and forth between the defendant's seat and the judge's seat.

This has nothing to do with this, as if they didn't agree to her salary they should have done it years ago. Judge Judy does not have to justify it to any one, this is political smearing.

“She is NOT named in the lawsuit” Only CBS is so why is this even news? 🤔😂🤣😂

So they, according to the contract, were entitled to 5% of the PROFITS. So if the programme does not make a profit then 5% of nothing is nothing. Next time the person who drafts the contract should learn the difference between profit and turn over.

Judge Judy: they don't keep me here cause I'm beautiful, they keep me here cause I'm SMART

They better hope judge judy isnt the judge in this case..😂 because 1 word.. DISMISSSED

Judge Judy is a hot commodity And I love her and her show dearly. I love her style but I must say I would never go on her show as a plaintiff or a defendant only because I probably would ramble on and she would tell me to save my problems for Dr. Phil.

" You speak I rule and then you shut up " Sir yes sir!!

This is why nobody builds contracts around profits…it’s based off revenue. Just because you made a bad deal doesn’t mean you should sue.

The irony of all ironies

After all the pinheads, all the bull shit, every lie, all the soured things that humanity will lobby at each other and a Judge (and for years), yet she keeps her integrity. She calls them as she sees them. Yet she's not soured on people in general. After putting up with the silly foibles of cases not even worthy of her intellect, and the major heart breaking family court career before that, she's earned every damn penny, every red cent of it

she needs to host the oscars

If a contract is signed its a signed contract. Lawyers were involved. They don't make mystakes. If anyone is going to know the law it's JUDY

Never base a royalty on net earnings. These can be slimmed down to nothing. Always make them a percentage of the gross.

Pocket change for her. Judge got her own multimillion dollar yacht.

It’s a bit late to claim money now. Where were they? She negotiated her salary, if they weren’t going to make enough, why sign a contract?

If they're entitled to it, I'd just give it to them. She's going to continue making money. She has enough money for her grandkids after her grandkids.

I love that an entertainment company is finally getting the shit end of the stick!

How much money does any one human need, no really $47 million a year????????? How about retire and make room for someone under 50 getting a shot? come on pandemic

You would think that if they weren't paid for, at the time of this video, 6 years; they would have acted sooner.

Who needs 47 million dollars a year?

She's worth EVERY MILLION ♡

The judge wrote a good contract.

How the hell is she worth 47 million dollars. Crazy world we live in...

Why shouldn't she get the money? She's the whole show! There's a reason she's still on and guys like Mills Lane and Joe Brown aren't.

I like watching Judge Judy, I like her as a person when she's being interviewed on other shows, she's not the same as she is in the courtroom, but demanding 47 MILLION per year as her annual salary, is a bit much. I couldn't spend that much money IN ONE lifetime, let alone receiving it EVERY YEAR. I see though that she IS getting older and she's probably tired of doing the show. I'm guessing she was hoping they wouldn't commit to that high of a payment. Lol... Judge Judy, everybody just likes you and the network KNOWS they get some wicked HIGH ratings as long as they keep you. You could probably get more than that because they don't want to lose their ratings, but I do have to say, there is NO WAY I would want to be a plaintiff OR a defendant in front of you. You're kind of scary on the bench. You say it like it is, and usually what people are thinking anyway, and that is why the corporation wants to keep you. You're very entertaining!

Those producers can cry me a friggin' river!!

Judge Judy is my hero. I need her autograph.

Do the math!? That's almost a million dollar a WEEK! (Exactly $903,846.00 a WEEK!) OR $129,121.00 a DAY! OR almost $13,000. an HR! ( 10 HR day). Or $217.00 a MINUTE!

I love judge Judy. She's amazing and hilarious at what she does. Wish she was in the business of making laws.

Bird only gets like a little over 100 thousand a year. He could at least get 1 million!

This case should be presented in judge Judy court

So what? How much money she makes, and what she does with it is her business. If CBS didn't like it, they would cancel the show.

47 mil a year? And she acts THAT annoyed all the time?

Oh poor production company.

What was she suppose to refuse the money?

lol They shouldn’t have agreed to her salary. This is ridiculous. 🙄

I love her show, and one of Judge Judy's favorite sayings is, *"Beauty Fades, Dumb is Forever."*

That lawyer is so funny, they get 30% in a lawsuit win, so the potential payout could be epic.

Judge Judy deserves way more! She's an amazing Judge

Really has NOTHING to do with Judge Judy!!? Clickbait!!!!

If JJ says the lawsuit is a bunch of baloney, then it _is!!_

They wouldn't be questioning so much if it was a man. She earner her cheque, they need to stop inquiring smh

Damn 42 million wow

47 million annually.. I mean its all good having a shit load of money in the bank but how the hell can someone justify not only being paid that obscene amount of money, but to be able to spend it all... At her age! It's no like she can take it with her when the grim reaper comes knocking.

How do you spell February????

They can't stand a woman making that much money

Love her!! Love her book.!! She is the reason I watch!!

So... you're suing the network not Judge Judy? Sensationalized title.

Judge Judy rocks

Shes the iron lady of the court room.

Hard to believe. Sounds just a bit late. Why weren't they in the negotiations when the entered the deal? Or...didvg bg ey underestimate the drawing power of Judge Judy??????

She is the show

That salary is way too much for anyone person.

They're going after her because she said that todays feminism is not real feminism. That she does not want to belong to a group and give them credit for what she did on her own. I'm sure she fought for the right to vote etc etc but it seems off of funny that since she said I don't want to belong to this way of thinking that go after

Has this case settled or has it gone to trial yet?

So tell me again how much a real "non celebrity" judge makes?

Everyone needs to clap at judge Judy for being able to Earn that much.

Another reason to find judge Judy unpalatable... At best.

GOT DAMN!! 47 MILLION!!!

Typical Hollywood behavior. She is most likely a "work for hire" and not part of the proceeds. Typical distribution company.

That does sound like a pretty egregious breach of contract

💞 judge judy from malaysia !!

I LOVE you Very much Judge Judy.

She seems like the type to do that

Love love love Judge Judy.

jj is a beast! daaaaaaamn!

Has this case been settled yet. If so, what was the result?

That same attorney who complains about her $47M salary being too high, probably happily takes 33.75% of any settlement he gets for his clients.

That's a twist. JJ's company getting sued.

Who the anchor in the pink blouse?

Bleep them!

They'll be a settlements nt orvsomething...

Wow

most of the new episodes are just fake or may so that most of the people that get on get no mater what $5000 on both side. it is funny on how some of the episodes before one of the newer season. to me there some cases where it sound like the plaintiff have all the evidence to win the case, but end up having it go to the other person or get dismiss. i know most of the hot bench episodes are better at being real. they have one cases where the landlord and his two witness are remove for not shutting there mouth and let the judges to ask them what the plaintiff have say about how things happen. i like most of the old episodes of the show when the cases are real and that when a person have all the evidence to win do win in the end.

It wouldn’t be on the air if it didn’t make money. What a bunch of bullshit

some nights

OMG

Judge Judy is awesome, but holy shit, can anyone really justify a $47 million salary for themselves for doing their job? Imagine, she makes more in the time it takes her to deal with a case than the maximum $5000 small claims limit...Making judgments on cases dealing in complete chump change for her.

Every 1 only watches her program because of her not the producers or any 1 else with their hands in the cookie jar!!!!

What a waste of money

Some people starve, other has too much.

WHAT? I'd take half the pay!

Love Judge Judy💕

Who cares bro. She’s the star of the show I wouldn’t even watch if someone else were presiding

Hilarious....your ridiculous salary...ir the fact that they are sueing....

The people who have watched the show,got a huge profit. They've understood what common sense is! She deserve every single penny and more respect! God bless her!

NO ONE on Television is worth that much !!!! And I’m a fan of J Judy,,,,,,,,,,,it’s obscene,,,,,,,,,,

People still watch that show ??

Well that is an interesting flag behind the judge to the right, isn't it?

She is not a judge no jail time,criminal record and the show pays out the money so you lose nothing going on it

Why the coming for all the great TV judges judge Joe Brown judge Judy now judge Mathis

did they win.

She deserves every bit! Let her fight it, she'll win!

I got ginger ear awe hell

Who needs $45 million a year?!?!

If it was a men earning that salary no one would complain!!

Judge Judy usually treats one or both of the litigants on her show with utter contempt, often resorting to insulting or abusive language such as name calling, and yet, she wouldn’t have a show without them! People can easily stop her cold by refusing to appear on her show and subject themselves to her abrasive personality and bogus sense of justice. Take your case to a legitimate court. The $100 appearance fee is not worth the public humiliation or vilification you will likely suffer regardless of the strength of your case. Don’t assume that because you have the necessary documentation you will win on Judge Judy. She may refuse to even look at it.
