UPDATED, 4:57 PM: <\/strong>\u201cIf it doesn\u2019t make sense, it\u2019s not true.\u201d That\u2019s a familiar catchphrase heard on TV\u2019s No. 1 court show Judge Judy<\/a><\/em>. Whether it pertains to today\u2019s ruling on a motion in Rebel Entertainment Partners v. CBS<\/a> Corp, et al.<\/em>, likely depends on which side you ask. A Los Angeles judge today handed CBS a victory when she denied a motion by the plaintiffs that claimed Judy Sheindlin<\/a>\u2019s $47M annual salary was structured to eat up the show\u2019s profits, a chunk of which is being sought by Rebel Entertainment Partners<\/a>, which originally packaged the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebel filed its suit two years ago,  claiming that it has been denied contractually obligated payments since 2010 from the net profits of the CBS Television-distributed Judge Judy<\/em> because it supposedly is \u201closing money,\u201d while paying star Sheindlin those multimillions annaully. L.A. Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazueloshas rejected the motion today, writing: \u201c[Sheindlin\u2019s] present salary was the result of arms-length negotiation and Judge Sheindlin\u2019s final \u2018take-it-or-leave-it offer. Plaintiff has presented no evidence that the salary was negotiated in bad faith or is unreasonable in light of the undisputed \u2018resounding success\u2019 of Judge Judy<\/em> and the fact that without its namesake star the show could not continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Palazueloshas granted a separate motion by Rebel Entertainment Partners that it was frozen out of profits from Hot Bench<\/a><\/em>, the syndicated 2014 spinoff from Judge Judy.<\/em> CBS claimed that the syndicated series is not a spinoff and therefore Rebel isn\u2019t entitled to any of its profits. Regarding that matter, the judge wrote: The Court cannot conclude as a matter of law that Hot Bench<\/em> is not an \u2018episodic television series\u2019 which is \u2018based upon or derived from\u2019 Judge Judy.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read details of the case below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCLUSIVE: UPDATE with Judy Sheindlin statement:<\/strong> This certainly won\u2019t end up in Judge Judy<\/em>\u2019s court, but a scathing multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed today against CBS has no-nonsense host Judy Sheindlin, her syndicated series and its spinoff Hot Bench<\/em> in the legal spotlight. Seeking widespread unspecified damages, plaintiff Rebel Entertainment Partners claims that that it has been denied contractually obligated payments since 2010 from the net profits of the 19-season CBS Television-distributed Judge Judy<\/em> because it supposedly is \u201closing money,\u201d while paying Judge Judy herself up to $47 million a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheindlin\u2019s payout may be at the core of the suit, but she is not a defendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to Defendants, in the six-month accounting period prior to Scheindlin\u2019s pay raise, the Show reported net profits of $3,572,195, of which 5% ($178,609) was paid to Rebel,\u201d alleges the successor-in-interest to the talent agency that originally packaged the Judy Sheindlin-fronted series. Having received regular payments over the years until 2010, Rebel claims that Judge Judy<\/em> has grossed over $1.7 billion since it first went on the air in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the six-month accounting period after Scheindlin\u2019s pay raise, however, Defendants reported net profits of negative <\/em>$3,195,217, of which 5% (negative $159,761<\/em>) was allocated to Rebel.\u201d The breach of contract complaint filed in L.A. Superior Court on Monday (read it here<\/a>) also claims more shell-gaming by CBS Studios, CBS Corporation, and producers and CBS TV Studios-owned Big Ticket Entertainment. \u201cDefendants further reduced Rebel\u2019s net profits by licensing the Show to CBS\u2019s corporate affiliates \u2014 television stations owned or operated by CBS \u2014 for below-market fees in transactions that were not negotiated at arms-length,\u201d they add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheindlin re-upped with CBS TV in 2013 and then in 2015 inked an extended deal to see her on Judge Judy<\/em> until 2020<\/a>. CBS did not respond to request for comment on today\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot content with simply wiping out Rebel\u2019s net profits, Defendants breached other contractual obligations as well,\u201d the 10-page filing does additionally comment. \u201cFor example, Defendants are required to discuss in good faith with Rebel a packaging fee for any \u2018spin-off, remake, sequel or episodic television series\u2019 derived from the Show,\u201d amplifies the jury-seeking complaint, in language reminiscent of CAA and Frank Darabont\u2019s lawsuit against AMC over profits from The Walking Dead<\/em>. \u201cHowever, when Defendants created the show Hot Bench<\/em>, which the director of programing at one CBS affiliate station called \u2018a spin-off from Judge Judy Sheindlin,\u2019 no one approached Rebel to discuss a packaging fee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoreover, Scheindlin personally contacted Leslie Moonves, then-President and Chief Executive Officer of defendant CBS Corp., and lobbied him to put Hot Bench <\/em>on the air,\u201d declares the complaint of the three-judge series that debuted in September 2014. \u201cDefendants claim that Hot Bench <\/em>is not a Judge Judy <\/em>spin-off, despite the fact that it was created by Scheindlin, is produced and distributed by the same companies as Judge Judy<\/em>, employs many of the same producers and directors as Judge Judy<\/em>, and the original name of Judge Judy <\/em>was, in fact, \u2018Hot Bench.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all that, it is the more than $47 million being paid to the former Manhattan family court judge that makes up the heart of this action. \u201cThis figure is grossly inconsistent with customary practice in the television industry, as the next-highest salaries in non-scripted television at that time were David Letterman ($28 million), Jay Leno ($25 million), and Conan O\u2019Brien ($10 million),\u201d the paperwork from Rebel lawyers Freedman + Taitelman, LLP says of the $45 million Judge Judy was being paid as of early 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd in 2013, when Scheindlin was reportedly receiving $47 million annually, no one else came close, as the next highest salaries in non-scripted television were Jon Stewart ($30 million), Matt Lauer ($25 million), and Jay Leno ($20 million), they add with more late-night and early-morning math. \u201cIn making this deal with Scheindlin, Defendants blithely ignored their contractual obligations to Rebel. As a result, almost immediately after Scheindlin\u2019s pay raise, Rebel\u2019s backend compensation nosedived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

By using other people\u2019s money to pay for Judge Judy\u2019s exorbitant salary, CBS has acted in extreme bad faith and in a manner that is not in any way reasonable or consistent with industry practices. Even\u00a0Judge Judy<\/em>\u00a0would rule against CBS in this case.<\/p>\nattorney Bryan Freedman<\/a> told Deadline today.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rebel is represented by Freedman and Jordan Susman in the action. Full disclosure: Freedman has acted for PMC, Deadline\u2019s parent company, in a number of legal matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is Sheindlin\u2019s response to the suit today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fact that Richard Lawrence is complaining about my salary is actually hilarious. I met Mr. Lawrence for 2 hours some twenty-one years ago. Neither I nor anyone involved in the day-to-day production of my program has heard from him in 20 years. Not a card, not a gift, not a flower, not a congratulations. Yet he has somehow received over $17,000,000 from my program. My rudimentary math translates that into $8,500,000 an hour for Mr. Lawrence. Not a bad payday. Now complaining about not getting enough money, that\u2019s real chutzpah! Since I have not spoken with Mr. Lawrence in over 20 years to suggest that he had any involvement in my creating Hot Bench<\/em> is equally laughable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
