Judge Judy Sues National Enquirer Owner For Defamation Over Phony Menendez Brothers Article


For the 2nd time in 7 yrs, Judy Sheindlin is calling out the gossip tabloid for fake news, & she's taking them to court

“When you fabricate stories about me in order to make money for yourselves with no regard for the truth or the reputation I’ve spent a lifetime cultivating, it’s going to cost you,” Judge Judy told Deadline this AM of the InTouch and Nation Enquirer articles of last month claiming she believed Lyle and Erik Menéndez had not received fair justice in their 1996 second trial for the murder of their parents in 1989. Based in part on Rosselló’s statements and newly discovered family correspondence, lawyers for Lyle and Erik Menéndez filed a habeas petition in LA Superior Court earlier this month hoping to overturn the duo’s life sentences. Now, as former CEO David Pecker made crystal clear in his recent testimony in Donald Trump ’s so-called hush money trial, it’s not like the now Dylan Howard-run Enquirer hasn’t played fast and loose with the truth for a good headline before.
