I have seen Judge Judy outside of the court room talking about various people. Actually, E! Entertainment often asks her to comment on celebrities that are taking the wrong turn such as Britney Spears, and so forth - she is just as blunt as she is inside the courtroom.
Judge Judy (Hover)
The woman is mean and I like her! We needs some judges like that here to get some real justice happening.
On Larry King Live she was asked a good question by one of the call-ins:
(Not exact words so cannot quote)
Caller: Don't you think it is disrespectful when you call the parents of children, who are also present, stupid, dumb, etc.?
Judge Judy: No, I give the parents the choice to leave the children outside of the court room.
She also said she calls certain behavior stupid.
When asked if she would run for President of the US, she said she would not.
She did great and I am glad she said that's how she really is. You see, when you watch her show and hear the stupidity of some of the people there you feel to say something! And she says it for you! That's why her show is so popular.
Yes, but sometimes I think it is a bit too much, she is not god and cannot possibly know the ends of everything. Everyone must admit that some event has happened in their life where it may look like it is their fault, but in fact they are innocent in every way.
Judge Judy Rules No-Nonsense Court
Judy Sheindlin talks about tough-love approach, rise to fame and 2013 retirement.... "There's a reason that my program has been on for 15 years...that's because people really want their brethren to act socially responsible," said Judy Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy. "They want the good guy to win, and they are looking for the bad guy to get whoopin', and they very rarely do." Ref. Source 1
