Judge Judy on ‘PC police,’ her new show and negotiating her old salary

On the heels of her new IMDb TV show, Judith Sheindlin, a k a Judge Judy, is sharing insights into all corners of her life, from decompressing with housework to her feelings about cancel culture and negotiating her record-breaking “Judge Judy” salary.

“I’m not a big fan of the PC police,” the 78-year-old told the Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview reflecting on the final taping of her 25 years as “Judge Judy” and upcoming production for her next venture, “Judy Justice.” While “bad” people should be “prepared to pay the piper,” she said, there shouldn’t be so much tension around sharing personal takes.
