You know what? Fuck Judge Judy
The episode of Judge Judy with Latarian "Real Talk" Milton, his mom and his grandma, which was supposed to be taping out in California this week, has been canceled.
Apparently, word got out that producers of the show talked the grandma into suing the mother, to get them to appear on the show. So Judge Judy went ahead and canceled the taping.
The other day, she released a statement saying quote: "Judge Judy does not believe in fostering litigation and if that is what happened, then canceling the case was the only option."
Judge Judy can't just have people thinking she purposely manipulates this country's legal system for her own personal benefit, even thought I'd be willing to bet that's standard operating procedure on her program.
Aside from any ethical concerns with making a sideshow of some poor kid, she could probably fuck around and get sued herself. I was researching this mess just now, and I came across the following report of this guy and his Jewish lawyer talking about how they're upset at how the situation is being exploited for profit.
Donald peel isn’t laughing.
He hasn’t worked since Latarian broadsided his truck.
“It’s hard, we’re barely making it,” he said.
He was fine with staying quiet until he saw Latarian on TV.
“It was upsetting. I was in the hospital. He said he didn’t care about hurt or damage he had done,” Peel said.
Peel’s attorney is infuriated by the way the accident is being exploited for profit.
Jonathan Levy of the high powered personal injury law firm “Rosenthal, Levy and Simon” is trying to reach a settlement with two insurance companies, while watching a child who did a lot of damage, make money on it and crowd the local court system with what he says is a frivolous lawsuit.
“Here’s an example of Judge Judy encouraging a suit to make it a real court case and get the kid on the show. This kid is being flown out to California on Judge Judy’s dime,” Levy said.
My guess is that, if Latarian and his grandma would have gotten any money from being on Judge Judy, this guy would have turned around and tried to sue them for it. Meanwhile, I wonder how fucked up this guy's neck really is. How come we didn't hear shit about him back when this happened?

And after the jump is couple of Latarian Milton videos I hadn't seen until just now. There's also some never before seen footage of him in the video accompanying the news report of the guy claiming his neck got hurt.
