The 63-year-old shared that after the production of"Judge Judy" had wrapped that year, he turned all of his energy and attention to his wife, Makita Bond-Byrd, who was a longtime producer of the show, as she was preparing for brain surgery and her third round of chemotherapy.
"I didn't have time to think about or ask about 'Judy Justice'," he confessed. It wasn't until July that I called the judge and asked, 'Hey, should I look for something else or am I included in the 'Judy Justice' project?'" Byrd, who had served with Sheindlin since the original show's debut in 1996, said he was told he would not be included in her new project, as his asking salary would be too high... despite the fact he never even discussed money with them.
"She informed me I was not being asked to come along on the project. I didn't inquire as to why, that's her choice," he continued. “But she did inform me that fundamentally, I was priced out as the new bailiff on her new show. My salary would have been too much. I was curious: How would she know? She didn't ask me. She didn't give me an opportunity to have accepted a lower salary.
TooFab Move in sir
TooFab Sad! EVERYONE loves Byrd!
TooFab I love judge judy but to hear that is sad so much for friends
TooFab Mean ass Karen at the end. SMH
TooFab Don’t worry Byrd. She can’t take that money with her. Soon
TooFab There are two sides to every story, she had her reason.
TooFab That’s how this messed up works is. Loyalty means nothing to these people. That man deserves better that judge Judy anyways
TooFab Hes worth $7.25 per hour. He doesn't do shlt
TooFab Where’s the cancel culture folks when u need ijs
TooFab She could have at least had the decency to inform him that he wouldn't be invited to take part in the new project. They worked together for 25 years and that's how she treated him?! That tells everything you need to know about her character.
TooFab He should get over it; they probably want someone younger and better looking for their audience, since all he does is stand there. That's called show business.
TooFab That’s some BS right there considering he was only making like $1M yr after being there for 25yrs and Judge Judy makes $50M yr I understand wanting a new show with a new cast but they could of found a position for that man even if it was behind the camera.
TooFab She not trying to pay him his worth after he has been loyal to her for over 20 years but she thinks she deserves her salary?
TooFab Shocking and speehless.
TooFab Shame
