UPDATED with statement from Judy Sheindlin<\/a>:<\/strong> Judge Judy<\/a><\/em> is heading back to court, but not in the way the fans of the soon-to-end syndicated series probably assume, and it looks to partially be Les Moonves<\/a>\u2019 fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than six months after CBS<\/a> and Rebel Entertainment Partners<\/a> settled their long-running legal battle<\/a> over big bucks in missed contractually obliged payments from the show that has aired for more than two decades, a new lawsuit is in the docket. Rebel is now suing former Manhattan family court judge Judy Sheindlin and a ViacomCBS<\/a> division for more than $5 million over a seemingly sleight-of-hand $95 million sale of the show\u2019s rich library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDisgraced media mogul Les Moonves may have been shown the door at CBS in 2018, but not before he conspired with other CBS executives, including former CBS programming chief Armando Nu\u00f1ez, to avoid embarrassment over his colossal mismanagement of the sale and repurchase of the back-episode catalog for the Judge Judy<\/em> television program,\u201d claims the breach of contract complaint filed Tuesday morning (READ IT HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just treat people better whether that is employees or profit participants, it is not that difficult to do the right thing.<\/p>Bryan Freedman of Freedman + Taitelman, LLP<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2015, Moonves and his loyal lieutenant Nu\u00f1ez seriously underestimated the value of the episode library and sold the rights to these episodes to series star Judith Sheindlin for a song,\u201d the filing adds. The $47 million-a-year Judy Sheidlin herself, CBS division Big Ticket Entertainment and CBS Corporation itself are among the defendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may already having a nagging feeling you\u2019ve heard this case before \u2013 and you would be correct, kind of. In early 2018<\/a>, Judge Judy<\/em> co-creators Kaye Switzer and the trust of the late Sandi Spreckman filed their own suit claiming they were owed $4.75 million from the $95 million sale of the show to the then House of Moonves in the summer of 2017.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this matter, as was made apparent in their now resolved suit that was first filed in 2016,<\/a> Rebel, under its long-acknowledged profit participation as the \u201csuccessor in interest\u201d to Judge Judy<\/em> original packager talent agent Richard Lawrence and his Abrams, Rubaloff & Lawrence firm (which reps Switzer and Spreckman), is entitled to 5% of any profits from the 25 seasons of the show. Ergo, Rebel claims it also gets a part of corresponding enrichments like a certain $95 million sale of the library. Now Rebel wants the money it says it is owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still in the courts, the Switzer and Spreckman estate case is scheduled to go to trial in 2021, which might see some overlap with this new one and its BTS unveiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoonves knew that he would look like an incompetent buffoon if he had to explain to the CBS Board of Directors that he had essentially sold the Judge Judy<\/em> back catalog for a pittance less than two years prior, but was now proposing to buy it back for tens of millions of dollars,\u201d the jury trial-seeking suit put in the court docket today continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, things get into territory that could have substantial implications in the boardroom of now-remerged ViacomCBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoonves and Nu\u00f1ez then realized that they could pull a fast one on the CBS Board,\u201d Rebel and its big-swinging Freedman + Taitelman lawyers state. \u201cThey would require Board approval for any purchase of $100 million or more,\u201d the filing details of the corporate move. \u201cMoonves and Nu\u00f1ez\u2019s solution: pay Sheindlin just under $100 million so they could evade Board scrutiny. CBS thus paid Sheindlin between $95 and $99.99 million for the rights to the Judge Judy episode library that Moonves had sold for virtually nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut through all of this industry intrigue and deception, both CBS and Sheindlin lost sight of one important group of people: the Judge Judy<\/em>profit participants,\u201d the attorneys bluntly note in what is obviously not their first time at this rodeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow that Viacom is in a position to oversee the behavior of CBS leadership, it is time for the new leadership it installed to make a sincere effort to right the wrongful conduct that has been a systemic problem at CBS,\u201d attorney Bryan Freedman<\/a> told Deadline today of the filing his firm made. \u201cJust treat people better whether that is employees or profit participants, it is not that difficult to do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, as Judge Judy herself likes to say: \u201cI\u2019m the boss, Applesauce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, the lady usually on the bench was all about the edibles in her reaction to today\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have not seen the complaint and can therefore only comment on what I have read which suggests that I am being sued for \u2018breach of contract,’\u201d Sheindlin told Deadline. \u201cIf that is the basis of Mr. Lawrence\u2019s lawsuit, here is my challenge: If Mr. Lawrence can produce a contract, signed by me and Mr. Lawrence on the same page, at any time in history from the beginning of time, I will toast that contract, smear it with cream cheese and eat it on national television.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadline also contacted representatives for CBS for comment also about this latest lawsuit. We will update if and when we hear back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, amidst all this time in the courts for the Emmy-winning court show, Sheindlin is also pulling the plug on Judge Judy<\/em> next year after its long and profitable run. The end of what has been the top-rated daytime syndicated program since the 2011 exit of The Oprah Winfrey Show<\/em>doesn\u2019t seem to bother Sheindlin, who is already poised to take flight with a new series called Judy Justice<\/em>. \u201cIf you\u2019re not tired you\u2019re not supposed to stop,\u201d Sheindlin told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell that to the lawyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
