‘Judge Judy’ Faces $4.75 Million Lawsuit Over Sale of Show’s Library

Judge Judy Sheindlin scored a monster payday last year, when she sold her show’s library to CBS for a reported $95 million to $100 million.

Now TV’s highest-paid performer is being sued for allegedly withholding a portion of the proceeds — $4.75 million — from two producers who helped launch the program more than two decades ago.

The producers, Kaye Switzer and Sandi Spreckman, have been to court several times before to enforce their rights to the program. The issue even went to trial in 2000, and has been subject to various settlements.

Yeah well, uh, if they have a rightful claim on that money, then I don't see the problem here.

I haven't heard any info on this and was hoping someone here could add.

I read this in the article and would think Sheindlin (Judge Judy) had the right to sell but I am no legal eagle

Sheindlin obtained the rights to the library in an earlier negotiation with Big Ticket Entertainment and CBS. Sheinlin shopped the rights around before selling the library back to CBS for the reported $95 million.
