Judge Judy plays no games. Now she’s proving it by taking a lawyer to court for using her image without her permission. Something that the judge believes is unacceptable. According to TMZ, the defendant is John Haymond — a P.I. lawyer in Hartford, CT. — who used clips from “Judge Judy” along with clips of him and his daughters to drum up business. Hit the jump for more info.
Judge Judy has prided herself on the fact that she has made it this far in her career without any endorsements. She’s quoted saying, “Without seeking my authorization or consent, Mr. Haymond has taken that choice away from me for his own personal gain. I cannot tolerate that, and intend to hold Mr. Haymond financially responsible for his actions.”
Judge Judy is big out here! She’s looking for $75k in damages.
