Words Cut
Don’t worry, though Judge Judy was quick to offer her reply, even if it was through her publicist. She said, “I refuse to engage in similar mud slinging. I don’t know where or by whom Judge Wapner was raised. But my parents taught me when you don’t have something nice to say about someone, say nothing. Clearly, Judge Wapner was absent on the day that lesson was taught.”

It didn’t stop there though, Wapner replied to her comment, “She is a disgrace to the profession. She does things I don’t think a judge should do. She tells people to shut up. She’s rude.

The public is apt to gain the impression that this is how actual judges conduct themselves. It says ‘judge’ on the nameplate on the bench and she’s wearing a robe.
