Judge Judy rips woman and her mother to shreds in epic rant

Popular courtroom TV star Judge Judy ripped into a defendant and her mother  Judy called both of them 'morons' during a hearing on October 2023 

Video of famed courtroom TV personality Judge Judy ripping a defendant and her mother to shreds in an epic rant recently went viral.

The judge, whose full name is Judith Susan Sheindlin, called a woman and her mother 'morons' during a hearing in October 2023 about an incident that occurred on November 18, 2017.

The dramatic scene went viral after the show re-circulated the clip on its TikTok account as the plaintiff, Tiara Hooker, sued the defendant, Rosemary Mendez, $905 for vandalism after filing a restraining order against her.

Tiara accused Rosemary and her family of coming to her home with a baseball bat and bashing her windows around 1am. Both of them explained how the violent incident stemmed from a fight over an ex-boyfriend.

A clip of the theatrical hearing starts with Judy looking at a phone, watching a video that shows what took place during the incident.

Judy's face changes quickly as two women are heard screaming at each other while a loud banging goes on in the background.

A baby is then heard crying in the video as Judy glances up at the plaintiff, Tiara and Rosemary, who also goes by Rose.

Judy asks: 'Who's got a baby?'

'That's the neighbor,' Tiara replies.

Silence then takes over the courtroom before Judy looks at Rose and says: 'You're a moron.'

Rose asks the judge: 'How?'

'You're a moron,' Judy repeats.

'That's not me,' Rose says as she smirks.

'You're a moron, so is your mother,' Judy says as she points toward the defendant's mother sitting behind Rose.

'That's not me,' Rose insists.

'You're a moron, so is your mother,' Judy says as she shuffles through her paperwork on the stand.

Rose's mother reacts to the statement with a confused face as she leans in to hear what the judge has to say.

'You have a protective order against you for three years,' Judy tells Rose.

'That means that a court found you guilty of the acts that were committed here on the 18th of November of 2017.'

Judy then leans forward and asks Rose: 'Do you understand that?'

Rose agrees as Judy continues: 'I don't care about not remembering the date or getting your dates confused, getting your counting confused, getting the state confused, getting your brain confused.'

The famed TV judge looks at footage from the night of the incident before she looks up at Rose and scolds her for her actions

'You have a protective order that found you guilty of the acts alleged on November 18th in a court,' Judy says.

She asks if Rose understands as the defendant says: 'Yes.'

'Then you're guilty, you're gonna fix the window,' Judy says as Rose disagrees.

'How? That wasn't me,' Rose nonchalantly says to the judge.

'If the court found you guilty, I am going to find you guilty,' Judy explains.

Rose continues to say that she wasn't the one who smashed Tiara's windows before Judy mocks her.

'That wasn't me, that wasn't me. And it wasn't your mama,' Judy says as she moves her head back and forth.

Rose's mother looks at Judy with a shocked expression on her face as the judge says: 'Terrified a whole neighborhood.'

Judy moves on and asks to see paperwork that details the total estimate for the window repairs before she continues to speak to Rose about the restraining order against her.

'You don't allow someone to have a protective order against you for a year, six months, two years or three years,' Judy says.

She then tells Rose how she could have gone to court to vacate the restraining order as the defendant keeps insisting that it wasn't her in the video.

A video clip that showed Judy what happened that night was shown in court as the two women were heard yelling at each other as a loud banging went on in the background

Judge Judy ruled in favor of Tiara and ordered Rose to pay her for the window damage

Judy laughs and says: 'You're a fool!'

Rose asks: 'How am I a fool?'

'You're not following me because your brain is so muddled,' Judy replies.

The video ends with Judge Judy ruling in favor of Tiara and ordering Rose to pay her for the window damage.

Many commenters got a laugh out of the judge's antics as some praised her for her well-known spitfire flair, while other's didn't agree with her behavior.

'I live for Judge Judy's clap backs,' one commenter said under the video.

EXCLUSIVE

Judge Judy sues the National Enquirer owner for defamation over 'fabricated' claim she was on a 'quest' to save the Menendez brothers

'I love Judge Judy... some people need someone like Judy,' a comment said.

Another wrote: 'Judge Judy don't play.'

'Love Judge Judy. She only tells the truth,' another wrote.

Others didn't agree with how she acted as one said: 'Judge Judy a bit salty here.'

'Judy acting unprofessional,' another wrote.

'I would sue Judge Judy for this,' a commenter said.

Recently, Judge Judy found herself in the middle of a lawsuit after she sued the parent company of the National Enquirer over a 'fabricated' claim that she was on a personal mission to save the Menendez brothers some 35 years after the murder of their parents.

Accelerate360 and A360 Media are listed as the defendants in a suit, seen by DailyMail.com, which was filed on behalf of Judy Sheindlin in Collier County, Florida.

Lyle and Erik Menendez are currently in jail serving a sentence of life without parole for fatally shooting their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in the den of the family's Beverly Hills mansion in 1989.

Recently, Judge Judy found herself in the middle of a lawsuit after she sued the parent company of the National Enquirer over a 'fabricated' claim that she was on a personal mission to save the Menendez brothers

Erik, now 53, and his brother Lyle, 56, are serving life without parole for fatally shooting their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989 in the den of their Beverly Hills mansion

The brothers, now both in their fifties, were convicted at trial in 1996 for the double murder.

Last month, In Touch Weekly - an American tabloid with the same parent company as the National Enquirer - published an article titled, 'Inside Judge Judy's Quest to Save the Menendez Brothers Nearly 35 Years After Their Parents' Murder.

The suit claims that several of the publications owned by A360 Media have damaged the judge's pristine reputation, which she's worked for six decades to establish.

'In one fell swoop, Judge Sheindlin's lifetime-cultivated reputation has taken a body blow in the form of an account replete with 'facts' diminishing her to a rube, a fool - or worse,' the suit read.

In a statement to DailyMail.com Monday, Judy said of the necessity of the suit: 'When you fabricate stories about me in order to make money for yourselves with no regard for the truth or the reputation I've spent a lifetime cultivating, it's going to cost you.

'When you've done it multiple times, it's unconscionable and will be expensive. It has to be expensive so that you will stop.'

She is being represented by attorney Eric George. Judy is seeking an unspecified amount in damages, but one 'in excess of the minimum jurisdictional limits of this Court.'
