“We had a nice marriage,” Judge Judy jokes of her time with CBS. “It's going to be a Bill and Melinda Gates divorce.”

The last case she taped for “Judge Judy” didn’t deviate in style from the roughly 12,750 cases before it. Wearing a black robe, lace collar and expression of intense focus, Judy Sheindlin heard a typical dispute—contractor suing for payment, client claiming shoddy work—which she dispatched with signature jabs like “That’s baloney” and “Don’t waste my time.”

After 25 years, ‘Judge Judy’ is ending as Ms. Sheindlin prepares to launch a new court show on Amazon’s IMDb TV.She continues to live by a code of right and wrong that she believes is as black and white as her judge’s garb. On “Judge Judy” she applied it for entertainment and for people seeking small-claims justice, be it a roommate stiffed on rent or a guy who got punched out at a bachelor party.

“Judge Judy,” which hit the air in 1996, resulted from high-profile media coverage of Ms. Sheindlin in family court, including a “60 Minutes” profile that showed her skewering defendants, lawyers and case workers. It ended with Morley Safer asking her if systems and people would be better in 10 years. “Worse!” she replied.

On a recent afternoon there, an interview began in her high-rise condominium overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Later, she piloted her Bentley to a nearby club, where the interview continued over lunch and one round of Bloody Marys.

Just wait and see. Judge Judy is being replaced by Judge Rudy. 🤣🤣🤣

I loved watching this once in a while lol. Her sass 😂

'Can u count, sir?...what is 2+2? There u go. No compensation!'

More than time for her to go! She is rude, and condescending.

All she does anymore is be rude to people. Judy can take a hike for all i care. ruderelic

I didn’t think she was even on air anymore.

Sorry. I will miss you. Don't do Amazon!

'judge Judy' is ending after 25 years. Be sure to watch judge Judy's new show: judge Judy in Amazon.

I FOR ONE WILL BE GLAD TO SEE HER GO. 25 MINUTES IS TO LONG FOR ME

Judge Judy is the best, in UK we get Judge Rinder, which is a lot of silly rubbish, Judy says it as it is. We're years behind so plenty to catch up on

She needs to go sit her azz down somewhere.

See yeah

She needed a good catchphrase like, “I’ll be the judge of that!”

I wonder what the series finale of Judge Judy is gonna be Like?

She has more money than she needs , she should just retire and enjoy life. I don’t understand these people like Pelosi or Maxine Waters, or all those who are in their 80’s and don’t retire and enjoy what years they have left

Reaility tv star. Should be pretty obvious where she’s headed next. US Supreme Court…

Good, this show was horrible

carlyaquilino 😭😭😭

Awe man

Who gives af?

Wow. After 25 seasons; she's walking away with a fortune worth over $440 million. Her average pay per episode is about $900K.

NO JUDY YOU CANT LEAVE US

You pretend to be a Judge, try acting like one:

Is Officer Byrd joining her new show?

Yeah, she’s a very curt woman‼️

otherwise known as the most over turned judge in history

Why is this on a Coke can?

She was soooooo mean every single time I saw her show in passing. Stressful even to see her after all this time.

DAMN SHE LOOK GOOD IM TRY FUKK JUDGE JUDY😩❤️‍🔥 JudgeJudy

Hahahahhh😂 💗 See! ya's!☺ 💗 SALUTE!☺ Congratulations!🌹2U!☺ Judge.🌹Judy.🌹 💗👀

Judge Judy dumps CBS, and goes to Amazon.

My mom loved her show - which means I do also. We ❤ Judge Judy!

She still alive ?

the way no one watched that fad

She actually looks compassionate here, maybe I was wrong about her?

I thought it ended a few years ago

Aww judges should be like her

We watched her for a decade & a half. After that Judge Judy became repetitive!🥱🥱😴😴I like Judge Milian of PeoplesCourt better!

I thought this show was first run syndication this whole time. I only ever remember it on UPN and the show was surrounded by ads for hot pockets and Castrol GTX

Good for you! I would do the same

Isn’t this old news? Pretty sure she’s been talking about this and how it’s going to happen for a couple of years now.

“Don’t pee up my leg and tell me it’s raining” she said it just as well if not better than Clint Eastwood but in court😂I about died when she first said it She’s an absolute treasure, I’ve always adored her

I have never witnessed such a condescending, irritating person who thrives on putting people down. I won't miss Judge Judy as I can only bear watching her for 2 minutes max!

Judge Judi... you cannot have a legal marriage to a business company tv station business show......so inappropriate and immature......jus jokes 😂

😂😂

SHE’S EVEN A SAVAGE OUT OF COURT 😭😭💀💀

I will be sad to see no more Judy shouting at morons 'shut up shut up, no talkin when I'm talkin.' Yeah harsh but most of them deserved it. 👋👋👋

“It's going to be a Bill and Melinda Gates divorce.” had she been visiting epstein?

nice

Isn’t she tired of all that money?
