Judge Judy Sues National Enquirer for Defamation Over Menendez Brothers Story

Sheindlin seeks significant damages, claiming the publication falsely attributed statements to her about advocating for a new trial.

The lawsuit was filed in Collier County, Florida, against the National Enquirer, InTouch Weekly, and their parent company, Accelerate360 Media.
Sheindlin asserts the publications misattributed comments made by an alternate juror in a Fox Nation docuseries to her.
The disputed article suggested Sheindlin was pushing for a retrial for the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989.
This is not the first time Sheindlin has had issues with the National Enquirer, which previously retracted false claims about her health and personal life.
Sheindlin emphasizes the need for substantial damages to deter future defamatory actions by the publications.
