The Donald Trump hush money trial has taught us a lot about the National Enquirers casual relationship with journalistic ethics. And while its former leadership spills everything, Judge Judy has decided to piss on their leg and tell them its not raining with a big fanfare defamation suit against Accelerate360 Media, the parent company of both the Enquirer and InTouch.
Last month, the pair of publications wrote stories claiming that Judge Judy was trying to help the Menendez brothers get a new trial. She is not doing that at all.
From the AP:
When you fabricate stories about me in order to make money for yourselves with no regard for the truth or the reputation Ive spent a lifetime cultivating, its going to cost you, she said in a statement. When youve done it multiple times, its unconscionable and will be expensive. It has to be expensive so that you will stop.
It doesnt hurt that David Peckers been on the stand explaining in detail how the Enquirer invented stories by mashing pictures together to tie Ted Cruzs father to the Kennedy assassination. While Pecker no longer runs the dubious rag, Judge Judy seems to recognize the serendipitous timing in filing a lawsuit while the defendants reputation is being dragged in the most publicized trial in the world.

So, who does Judge Judy support for president?
In January of 2020, Judge Judy made it known that she supported former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for president.
But shortly after, in March 2020, he officially dropped out of the 2020 presidential race as a Democratic candidate and endorsed Joe Biden, as CNBC reports, saying the former vice president has the best chance of defeating President Donald Trump.
