Judge Judy Files Defamation Lawsuit Against National Enquirer and InTouch Weekly

Sheindlin claims false reports about her involvement in the Menendez brothers' case damaged her reputation and led to online abuse.

The lawsuit alleges the articles misquoted statements from a Fox Nation docuseries, attributing them to Sheindlin.
Sheindlin seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial, emphasizing the need for accountability.
The articles falsely claimed Sheindlin was advocating for a retrial for the Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989.
Sheindlin has previously clashed with the National Enquirer over defamatory stories, leading to retractions and apologies.
Accelerate360 Media, the parent company of the publications, has not commented on the lawsuit.
