Judy Sheindlin, best known as Judge Judy, was caught off guard during her live presentations by an unexpected turn of events, despite her considerable exposure to illuminating court battles.
Judy described the episode and conveyed her belief that she had suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA) during a live television broadcast, reflecting on the unpleasant occurrence.
Judy said, “Devoted viewers who had been following my journey for 15 years picked up on something amiss.”
They responded quickly, without demanding confirmation – a great decision, as I would have certainly discouraged them from intervening – and immediately notified the EMS.
Despite her doctors’ fears about her health, Judy maintained that she was in good health, despite the risk of a mini-stroke. “While it’s possible that I had a transient ischemia stroke,” she emphasized, “the symptoms thankfully subsided quickly.”
Judy’s admirers can sigh with relief as she remains well and has not been subjected to further attacks. Notably, she has also started a new show.
When the subject of resigning from her television duties was brought up, her attitude was persistent: “My energy remains unwavering.” Tennis and golf are not my preferred pastimes.
“Why would I try to learn something completely new at this point when I already know what brings me joy?”
Judy and Jerry Sheindlin, who have been married for 45 years, are getting ready to celebrate another year of marriage. Judy’s private life shines brightly, away from the spotlight, adding to her happiness.
