Judge Judy : Biased

Re: Biased


Sadly, we've become more and more a country of "it's everyone else's fault, not mine" and "the buck DOESN'T stop here."


Yes! 👍

Re: Biased


People should concern themselves with their own issues and not worry about others who may or may not be doing the right thing.

Personal accountability used to mean something, and it still does for a lot of folk.


There was also a time when the President was a role model to those he governed. He was the hero to his citizens and was an example of morals (Ronald Reagan, anyone?)

So if America - and the Electoral College - has decided to put a man in the Oval Office who admittedly didn't pay taxes on his billions of dollars in income - and gloats about it, and pats himself on the back - then this has become the 'new example' for America.

Who's to question whether he did the right thing or not when America wants him to be the leader of the free world? Times have changed, and we need to change with the times.

pvd, I absolutely, 100% do not agree. Just because times change doesn't mean that we should all collectively change with the times, especially since they're seemingly changing for the worse.

We should not allow ourselves to fall into any traps of 'new examples' in this country. Also, are you saying that it's ok to not pay back taxes because our new president-elect was 'smart' enough to avoid paying them for 20 years?

What type of example is this for the future of our country - our children?

As for Reagan, he was certainly a far cry from being a President who was an example of morals. You're probably younger than I am and don't remember this but he was an embarrassment and a shame to those of us who lost so many members of our communities to the dreaded disease known as AIDS.

He wouldn't even allow himself to say the word. And this from a former actor in Hollywood who worked with some of the most well-known gays in Hollywood.

Still consider him as an example of morals?

Re: Biased

This is who America (not I) voted for to set as an 'example' for the future of this country. Eight years ago, we chose a candidate who (in my eyes) was a historic example for the future of our country - where we showed children that nothing's impossible, and anyone can be the leader of the free world. We had come a very long way.

In 2016, America spoke again and has decided to go into a different direction - and JJ needs to recognize this as she starts taping future episodes.

Trust me, I am no fan of Reagan. (I was not old enough to vote in 1980, but old enough in 1984 and didn't vote for him). I well remember the early days of AIDS and how he and his administration turned the other way. I also remember him being very cruel to the lower class, and wanting to cut as many social programs as he could - remember the 'welfare queen' in Chicago he often talked about in his campaigns? America was on his side - even though she didn't actually exist.

However, like it or not, he did set an example for the majority of America in to which way the country should be headed in the 1980s, after the chaos of the 1970s. He became America's hero with 'conservative, honest' morals (after the failure of Nixon), and even turned Democrats to his side (remember those proud 'Reagan Democrats'?). And 3- years later, when JJ turns to Byrd and says "This used to be a great country..." I can't help but understand she's subliminally referring to the 1980s.

America, collectively did not get together to plan for and vote for Trump. It just so happened that he won the electoral votes. Clinton received the majority of the popular votes, the most of any in the history of the elections.

So just because Trump was elected president doesn't and shouldn't mean that we should see him as an example and the future of this country.

And it now seems that other countries may have played a role in the process of his getting elected.

Not sure what to make of that.


"This used to be a great country..." I can't help but understand she's subliminally referring to the 1980s.


I don't know... I doubt it. The 80's was all about greed (remember the movie 'Wall Street'?). Reaganomics. Drugs. Bad fashion and crazy hairstyles.

No, she couldn't have been referring to the 1980's. Maybe the 1880's?

This is such a red herring and non issue.

If Trump avoided taxes LEGALLY, I have no problem with it.

If the government told YOU that you didn't OWE any taxes, would YOU send them a check anyway? Come on, PVD.

People are letting their bitterness over this election cloud their judgement.

Re: Biased

We have no idea whether he did not pay taxes 'legally' or not, since he has not released his tax returns.

We have no idea what he has financially done 'legally' or not, again because he has refused to release his tax returns.

As it's been pointed out by both sides of the aisle - if he had nothing to 'hide', he would have released his returns during the past 18 months.

However, this is the man elected to the Oval Office, who (supposedly) will sit as an example to all Americans, and be the 'moral compass' of the free world.

Times have certainly changed, and we need to change with them.

Re: Biased


Rich people (which includes JJ) had system working in their favor for decades. How much $$$ did the government give to Wall-Street, GM, Chrysler, etc. over the past 10 years or so? Yet, JJ gets so upset if somebody gets few hundreds of dollars that they didn't deserve ... I'm sure that JJ keeps her money in foreign banks in order to pay smaller taxes.


America spends more on welfare than it takes-in in total revenues. And it's scheduled to go to 150% of revenues and beyond. They only way we're keeping-up with welfare spending is by printing more and more money. That's why we haven't had an economic-boom since Bush 1....and we never will again. It's impossible to have an economic-boom with so many people on welfare.

Me....I applaud anyone who is successful. They pay taxes to help all the irresponsible people. We should be encouraging people to work hard and be successful....not demonizing them.

I don't want to get political. Even if you disagree with my take on welfare....how can you support people who cheat others?? Even if they only scam and cheat others for a few hundred dollars....why do you support that??

I don't support those people. I'm saying that if JJ is gonna complain about "cheating others" - then she needs to start all the way on the top.

Let me ask you something: if you want to reduce illegal drug use, would you go after people who sell drugs on the street or would you go after drug lords who produce drugs?

This is the same thing that I told you about JJ's verbal abuse of men vs women - I wouldn't had a problem with that if she acted the same towards everybody. And I wouldn't have a problem if she went after small scammers as long as she also went after big scammer. But of course she will not do that because she's one of big scammers.

And how exactly would you propose that she do that? If someone brings a case to court about being cheated, for example by an insurance company, would you really expect JJ to go after the insurance company and not the litigant who brought the case to small claims court?




But of course she will not do that because she's one of big scammers.



Please do tell how she is one of the 'big scammers'? Because she's on tv twice a day, one hour total and making millions of dollars a year, that makes her a 'scammer'?

Ever think about the fact that, after twenty years of delivering consistently high ratings, that she has actually earned her salary?

For one, she can stop using people on her show as "this is what's wrong with America these days".

I already explained it how. Its people like her who are only getting richer (until they fail, but then government will bail them out); yet, she's preaching on national tv how America's number one problem are so-called "scammers" who use welfare. I'm not defending those people, but JJ doesn't determine who's capable of working and who's not. One of her worst lines is, "I'm 72 and I still work" ... I don't think that anyone would accuse her of actually "working".


Ever think about the fact that, after twenty years of delivering consistently high ratings, that she has actually earned her salary?


Nope. She didn't help the poor, she didn't invent something that can save lives, she didn't do anything that would make a mankind better ... So no - IMO she hasn't "earned" $47 mill per year.

One of the constant concerns raised on this board about JJ is her salary and how she hasn't earned it.

She is totally earning her salary.

If you think for one moment that she isn't actually 'working', you've no idea of what it's like to work in show biz. I've been in the business for over thirty five years and it's not as easy as one would think.

What you see on television are two half hour back to back shows and the assumption is how on earth can she possibly earn 47 million dollars a year for doing that? I want that job!

Well, if you really want that job, you need to do what she's done, and that's earn it. Go to law school. Graduate at the top of your class. Continue getting an education, temporarily forsaking family and friends along the way.

Become a lawyer. A judge. A television personality. An author.

And she hasn't gone about it by taking the easy route. This is one tough lady who has been through a lot and has earned every penny she's received.


She didn't help the poor, she didn't invent something that can save lives, she didn't do anything that would make a mankind better ... So no - IMO she hasn't "earned" $47 mill per year.


Justin Bieber made well over $200 million dollars last year. Would you say that he too hasn't 'earned' his salary because he didn't use it to help the poor, invent something that can save lives or help make mankind better?

What about other performers, athletes, etc. who earn millions and don't pay it forward? Should they be penalized as well?

We shouldn't be putting the finger on celebrities who earn millions of dollars a year and expect them to change the world just because they make more than we do. A lot of them do contribute to various charities, some do so anonymously and that's great. And for those who don't, that's their personal decision.

WE, the everyday citizens of this country should be held accountable and do whatever it is that we can do to contribute to help others, and ourselves.

All of us collectively can make a difference.

No thanks, I don't want that job regardless of how much it pays. I will not sacrifice the best years of my life (not to mention my family) in order to make a lot of money when I'm 70 years old. I want to actually live my entire life. I don't remember my 20s and 30s as "I spent 8 hours in school and then I studied for 8 additional hours every day".

I didn't say that we should penalize them. You said that its fair for JJ to earn $47 mill per day. I don't think it is fair - and I feel the same way about "artists", athletes, etc. There is really no reason for somebody to make $47 mill per year just because they yell too much on tv.
But then again, that's just my opinion.

Whenever you have a conversation with someone who doesn't like Judge Judy, the conversations inevitably veer WAY off into politics. We end-up getting lectured by far-left liberals. I end-up feeling like Mike Pence at the 'Hamilton' play.

I don't want to get political. And some liberals like Judge Judy. But her detractors always seem to be the far-left liberals who resent rich people and blame their problems on others.

Oh, absolutely not! Where did THAT come from?

First of all, no one needs to support JJ, she does fine on her own (and I'm not talking about her salary).

I just can't understand why some people detest her that much? Jealousy? Yes, that plays a big role but you need to let that go (even if you don't admit it to be to true).

You'd think she was the only celebrity in the world to earn millions!

Re: Biased

I have nothing to be jealous of. If I was as angry with my job as she appears to be in pretty much every episode, I would rather collect cans than to still keep that job. I'm currently in Ibiza to test drive the new Seat. Amazing night life. What did JJ do when she was 32? Probably spent 15 hours per day in classes and/or studying and on a verge of divorce (which happened when she was 34).

I feel the same way about Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsay and everybody else who earn so much money just because they're loudmouths and they're good at insulting people.

No, I didn't mean it. Yes, I know I have viperish tongue. I always have had a viperish tongue. I mean it when I'm going in on other people on this website but not you and Pvd in particular. I've gotten to know you guys. Pvd has been on his period lately, insulting women and minority women, so admittedly I am not getting along with him at the moment but that doesn't mean I think there's a connection akin to friendship there between us. He and I will make up again before long. Any venom I am unleashing on these other folks, however, on this website who aren't the regulars like Beck Mill, Scary Mary, tankitty, I mean every bit of the venom I spew..
The venom I spew on the people who aren't regulars is very real and comes from deep within the soul. LOL!

Why would I remember little details about you like how you hate the cold or how you like women with tattoos and how you're full of tattoos if I didn't like you at the end of the day. Don't you remember that one time how much I told you it hurt me when you said Internet acquaintances don't matter to you, that friendships can't be made online. Grace and I were arguing are disagreement with that.

Tarnation! You aren't kidding when you go in on how bad you dislike the humidity. We've never been more on the same page as we are on that regard. I can't stand the humidity. As much as I am not a fan of the cold, I think I will even take that before being humid any day. I actually dated a guy in Europe for a little while I forget where from but in a place that's suppose to rain constantly and always be humid. I forgot the name of the country. He was about to relocate to me from there once upon a time. Weirdly enough, I met him right from off this website.


I mentioned my tattoos last week on the topic about the defendant with face tattoos. So even people who joined JJ IMDB last week know that.


Oh, did you?! I didn't see your posting last week about people with tattoos? I remember you mentioned your tattoos on this website at least twice before that though. One of the discussions was about how I found tattoos to be very unappealing and inappropriate for women. You disagreed and said you found them attractive on women, which I still can't understand. Lol! I think tattoos are very masculine art form. We males have very few art forms. Most body art, from lipstick, makeup, eyeliner, eyelashes, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., are for women. But I feel we as men own tattoos. That's one form of body art I don't think will ever manage to look very feminine. You disagreed.


I was talking about your friend Grace when I said that you should go and visit your friend.


I never got Grace's address when she was active on here. Well actually, that may not be correct. I might have had her address and information because she was once going to let me move in with her before I found out she had a lot of cats to which I am allergic. However, IMDB automatically gets rid of e-mails after a month or two so any communications we had are gone and I wouldn't even be able to check. Very crappy system that is to have e-mails expire by the way. But I would most definitely visit Grace if I had the means. I think something very bad has happened to Grace. :*( It's nearing a year since we all heard from her.

The woman has BUILT her reputation on being mean, condescending, a bully, and a ball-buster. And, she seems to enjoy it. This is the image she's chosen to project. It's her shtick.

Those who idolize her embrace these qualities because they ENJOY seeing Judy chew people up, and spit them out. It somehow makes them feel good about themselves and the world, in some perverse way. How many different ways can I say it?

The woman is a charlatan. And, I'm surprised that more people can't see through her. She isn't likeable, doesn't desire to be, and presents no redeemable qualities.

No...it's exactly the opposite. Those who DON'T like her are weak wimps. Those who DON'T like her are insecure about themselves. Because you're afraid of someone successful and powerful, and you're afraid of being judged yourself. Those of us who like JJ are not secure in ourselves, we're not afraid of being judged....and we aren't jealous or intimidated by successful people.

Re: Biased

What's so powerful about her? She's a tv host. There is absolutely nothing that she can do to you. People can yell back, interrupt her, walk out, etc and there is nothing that she can do to punish them other than to "rule against them" (in which case show pays anyways).

And people count success differently. When I'm in my 70s (if I live that long, which I highly doubt) I'll remember that my life wasn't about classroom (and later courtroom) every single day, while changing diapers, going through two failed marriages and being angry all the time.

Re: Biased


Those who idolize her embrace these qualities because they ENJOY seeing Judy chew people up, and spit them out. It somehow makes them feel good about themselves and the world, in some perverse way. How many different ways can I say it?


I can't speak for anyone else but I enjoy watching JJ because of her no-nonsense attitude. I don't enjoy watching her chewing people up just for the heck of it, only those who deserve it.

Don't think it has anything to do with psychology, making one feel good about oneself to watch one person berate another.

It's a tv courtroom show.

Who are we to decide who "deserves it?"


Don't think it has anything to do with psychology, making one feel good about oneself to watch one person berate another.

I think there is a great deal of psychology involved.

People who enjoy Judy's abuse and rancor have said that Judy is "their mouthpiece." What does that tell you?

As I've said (and no one disagreed), Judy has a platform some people wish they had, but they do not. People enjoy Judy's abuse of people who "deserve it."

Maybe Judy's supporters are as peevish as she is.

Re: Biased


She berates women just as harshly as men. If you're keeping tabs on how often she rips a men vs. women as far as looks....maybe you're right. But there's always a reason for it.


Maybe I'm right? Even JJ's biggest fan such as yourself has to admit that she doesn't act the same towards both sexes.


Every rich person has been sued for something, usually many times.


Except that JJ lost her case and had to return the china that she bought well over fair market value. Why hasn't she taken her own advice "if its too good to be true ..."?


There's a difference between lying to get-away with something....and lying to try to lose. If the whole case is fabricated and one of the parties is trying to lose, then they will lose. Once again, you're desperate to find dirt on JJ....and there is none.


There's a plenty of dirt on her. This is just a perfect example, which is why I mentioned it. According to your logic, JJ always get to the truth and she'll dismiss the case if she feels that there is something weird about it. Yet, this time she believed the made-up story from few deadbeats and she even awarded them money. Ouch.


It's true that JJ is a judge for working people with values. People who support America's welfare system and are jealous of rich people tend to not like her. People who blame others for their problems tend to not like her. Most judges will advise people that the responsible thing to do is to go down to Social Services and apply for benefits. If it's legal, that means it's a good thing. JJ doesn't play that. She thinks our welfare system is a joke, and she's not afraid to say so. If you don't like it when welfare people with 6 kids are called lazy or irresponsible, then go watch another judge.


I'm not an American and I don't even live in the USA, so I couldn't care less about America's welfare system.

By the way, I don't support deadbeats who have 7 kids by 5 different fathers and live of the welfare. You're completely missing the point. I'm not supporting those people.


I sense that you're afraid to judge people. You say "She doesn't know how we live", and you cry about rich people. So you have a natural tendency to side with welfare people. Or at least try to be Mr. Sensitive about it.


Why would I cry about rich people? I wouldn't wanna be JJ. She bragged few times how rich and successful she is. Guess what - all of her money can't buy her her youth back.
And no - she doesn't know how the rest of us live which is why she shouldn't be judging us. Why would it be ok for a rich spoiled people to judge average Joes?

Re: Biased

Jmichael, you're infatuated with Judge Judy because she hates the welfare system, the "blaming other people for problems," that she seems to satisfy your Republican values. News flash, Judge Judy voted Obama and Democrat both times, so there goes your fanaticism of her in that regard. She may hate the abuse of the welfare system by people but it doesn't strike me as though she's like a Republican and hates the very existence of the welfare system. I have yet to hear of Judge Judy actually voting Republican.

Also, I find Judge Judy entertaining, am a fan and all, but let's get real here: she is full of flaws and enough flaws that even fans of her should be able to understand why others could detest her. I can't quite place this thinking of yours that Judge Judy is beyond err in all of her judgments either. Is this just because you're a big fan or whatever? If that's the case, I will let this go. Whatever the case, however, all of her judgments are most certainly NOT correct. There was the fabricated and quite frankly far-fetched cat case with a bunch of red flags that JJ bought, but honestly a lot more where that came from:

There was a case from last year that Judy called so wrong that she got gobs and gobs of complaints from her most loyal fans over on Facebook: It was the case about the woman with 5 horses and the other neighbor with the stallion. The stallion jumped the fence and ran the mares through a barbed wire fencing and even bred one of the ponies which was in heat. The Judge sided with the stallion owner, saying the woman who owned the mares was at fault for not getting the mare fixed so that THE HORSE THAT BROKE INTO HER YARD WOULDN'T MATE WITH IT. Horse owners were pissed with Judy's ignorance as well, saying there's no such thing as getting a mare fixed because doing that is fatal. They were also pissed over JJ's ignorance in saying that horses are treated like dogs and saying it's called "neutering" when it is called "gelded." Horses are not like dogs and cats. It is the stallion owners responsibility to keep their stallions from jumping fences. They said stallions fight mares geldings and can hurt a person even riding a mare in heat.

And what about the case from just weeks ago where the plaintiff was making a left turn on the green left turn signal and the defendant was making a right turn at a red light and crashed into the plaintiff. Well, JJ awarded the defendant the judgment because she said the plaintiff should not have turned into the right lane as opposed to staying in the left. That was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. One was at a red light and the other had a green light. And even the police said that green always wins out.

Last but not least and as someone else explained, JJ has no concept of what goes on outside of the upper class and the extremely high upper class. That truth often manifests itself in her various comments, judgments and observations.

Re: Biased

Entertaining is right. That's the whole point of watching tv, to be entertained.

Re: Biased

To respond to some of you....

I didn't want to make it political, because there are plenty of liberal people who love JJ also. People who don't like liars and scammers.

JJ is a 74-year-old woman who makes $47M per year, is in the spotlight, and has many haters. They try to dig-up dirt on her. But all they got is that once she had to return some china. Big fricking deal.

It's SO absurd to rip JJ for ruling on a case that was fabricated. She catches many of them. But if a person is determined to go in and say they did something wrong, how can you blame JJ for agreeing that they did something wrong?? Ridiculous. It's absolutely absurd to rip her for that. JJ is 10X smarter and more probing than the other TV judges. Those other judges tiptoe around everything and make a lot of bad decisions.

I've never seen her rule incorrectly on a case. If she said a mare should be spayed and was wrong about that, it's up to the owner to explain. JJ doesn't have to be an expert on everything. It's up to the litigant to prove their case. As for the left-turn, right-turn case....I'd need to hear all the testimony. It's not automatic one way or the other.

As far as a rich person being able to judge a poor person....deal with it. If you're jealous of her, that's your problem. I only see her being hard on jackasses.

Re: Biased

In my opinion, people who are infatuated with Judy and have chosen to be blind to her many flaws have a few mental issues of their own. They live vicariously through her.

Judy is a big mouthed bully and nothing more. She may not have started out that way, but that's what money and fame have turned her into.

She's really a hot mess.

You're correct about one thing - she has many haters. Considering the way she acts - what did you expect?

There's plenty of dirt on her. You're just too blind to see it. I can sit here and list a lot of negative things about her and I'm sure that you'll find an excuse about every one of them.


She catches many of them.


So it went from "she always gets the truth" to "she catches many of them". So which is it? Does she always catch scammers or just every now and then?


I've never seen her rule incorrectly on a case.


I just showed you the case where she ruled incorrectly. Even the plaintiff who won the case said that he made up a story and she believed him.


JJ doesn't have to be an expert on everything.


Tell that to JJ, since she acts like she's an expert on everything.


It's up to the litigant to prove their case. As for the left-turn, right-turn case....I'd need to hear all the testimony. It's not automatic one way or the other.


Oh please, who are you kidding? She makes a decision before she even steps out and meets plaintiff and defendant.


If you're jealous of her, that's your problem.


I have no reason to be jealous of her. Like I said, all of her money can't buy her youth back. She's a 74 year old, grumpy, twice divorced. You couldn't pay me enough to be any of that.

Sigh! None of us are ripping on her! We're saying she called the case wrong. This was the counter-argument to your belief that Judge Judy always gets it right, that you have NEVER heard of her calling a case wrong. Well, if two people go into a court with a fake case when you have the option of completely throwing the case out, that's calling a case wrong. Not calling a case right. So in essence, you have now heard of Judge Judy calling a case wrong.

Err... the owner of the mare did explain? She explained that the horse jumped the fence and raped her horse. The owner of the stallion acknowledged that.Yet JJ sided with the mare owner. As for needing to hear all of the testimony with regards to red light, green light case, it's exactly as I explained it to you. Instead of acknowledging the err in judgment, you're using the excuse that you need to hear the whole thing. Well, in that case, you really shouldn't be talking about how Judge Judy never calls it wrong when apparently you've missed so many cases.


I didn't want to make it political, because there are plenty of liberal people who love JJ also. People who don't like liars and scammers.


Yep, I'm one of them


As far as a rich person being able to judge a poor person....deal with it. If you're jealous of her, that's your problem. I only see her being hard on jackasses.


We're not jealous of JJ! We're saying that she is out of tune with what's going on with the classes below hers. There's a difference.

Re: Biased


You say she's biased against men; she's not. She's biased against BUMS. And jerks. And she always tells-off freeloading irresponsible women too.


Exactly! She will offend those who take advantage of the system and it doesn't (and shouldn't) matter if they are white, black, male, female or anything and everything in between.

JJ is an equal-opportunity offender.

Re: Biased

She is obnoxious and does not even explain her rulings. It does seem she makes her rulings purely on emotion over the law. I like the People's Court. Judge Milian is beautiful, a sensible parent and explains her rulings. Tough when needed.

I am surprised JJ has been on the air for as long as she has. I don't get her appeal.

Re: Biased

Judge Milian is awesome. I feel so confused watching jj sometimes, I don't know if it's the editing or if she leaves so much stuff out that she already knows from reading their complaints.
