Judge Judy Sued

[grandmoon]

Judge Judy might just get a taste of her own medicine.

Judge Judy will now have to stand on the defendant's side of the table to be judged.

Judge Judy Sheindlin is being sued for allegedly buying $500,000 worth of fine china dinnerware for a bargain price of $50,000.

Judge Judy calls the lawsuit "frivolous".

Patric Jones filed a lawsuit claiming that her former husband Randy Douthit, who is a producer of the Judge Judy television show, sold their expensive Christofle Mary Bone China to Judge Judy at one-tenth of the value.

Jones claims that the dinnerware was sold for $50,000, although Jones said it is worth $514,421.14.

The couple has divorced. Jones claims that her former husband sold the communal property items without her consent.

Because the sale was made without consent, Jones claims that Sheindlin must return the items or pay the rest of what she thinks its worth.

"I do not owe a penny to this lady," Judge Scheindlin said.

"If this woman would have spent her time more productively in trying to find a job, instead of abusing the court system with frivolous lawsuits, we'd all be much better," she added.

I wish they had shown a photo of the dinnerware.

I wish they had shown a photo of the dinnerware.

do a google search of images and enter

"Christofle Marly" bone china

just as I have written it there

and you will see the cutlery, crystal and crockery that make up the Marly pattern dinner service.

It looks beautiful but I would probably drop a piece every time I used it knowing my luck.

I'd be the same Bump.  I chip and drop everything in my kitchen.  I'm very clumsy.

My biggest flaw is that I rinse things and then shake them and smash them on the tap.

The cutlery is sterling silver so all the pieces would wear away with a lot of use and sharpening the knives would also wear away at the edge.

The dinner plates will end up with knife marks on them.

The crystal glasses will end up with chips around the lip.

So why would you want a $500,000 dinner service unless it is to resell for $300,00 maybe and then buy a house?

Well Judge Judy bought a $500,000 for $50,000. She might be gonna see if she can double her money on eBay!

Just wondering though, does a person actually use a $500,000 dinner set or do they put it in the china cabinet so they can casually say "I'll have to get the maid to dust my Christofle"?

*smirk*

that almost sounds kinda dirty, eh?
