Judge Judy facing another lawsuit, this time over the show's library

The Hollywood Reporter

Rebel Entertainment Partners, the successor in interest to the talent agency that packaged the series is accusing CBS and Judy Sheindlin of conspiring to allow her to buy her Judge Judy library for cheap so that she could sell it back to CBS at a hefty profit. According to the complaint, before he was ousted, Les Moonves conspired with other CBS executives "to avoid embarrassment over his colossal mismanagement of the sale and repurchase" of the catalogue. Sheindlin responded to the lawsuit by saying if a contract could be produced, "I will toast that contract, smear it with cream cheese and eat it on national television." The lawsuit comes six months after CBS and Rebel Entertainment Partners settled another lawsuit over contractually obligated payments.
