In a surprising turn of events, Judy Sheindlin, famously known as Judge Judy, encountered a medical episode during one of her live presentations, despite her extensive experience presiding over illuminating court battles.
The incident occurred in 2011 when Judy Sheindlin, known for her role as Judge Judy on-screen, was dealing with her live audience. At present, she serves as the executive producer for the show “Judy Justice.”
Judy revealed the incident and shared her belief that she had experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) during the live television broadcast, reflecting on the unsettling occurrence.
During the episode, Judy stated, “Devoted viewers who had been following my journey for 15 years picked up on something amiss.” These vigilant viewers acted promptly, without seeking confirmation, and immediately alerted emergency medical services (EMS). Judy appreciated their quick response, acknowledging that she would have discouraged them from intervening had she been fully aware.

The 79-year-old performer described feeling as if her thought processes had slowed down during the episode, prompting the show’s producers to call 911 without hesitation.
Despite the initial concerns of her doctors about her health, Judy asserted that she was, in fact, in good health, notwithstanding the risk of a mini-stroke. She emphasized that while it was possible that she had experienced a transient ischemic attack, her symptoms thankfully subsided quickly.
Judy’s admirers can breathe a sigh of relief as she remains in good health and has even embarked on a new show. When questioned about the possibility of resigning from her television duties, Judy’s response was resolute: “My energy remains unwavering.” She expressed that tennis and golf were not her preferred pastimes and that she had no desire to learn new games like mahjong, checkers, or chess. She knows what brings her joy and sees no reason to change that at this point in her life.
Furthermore, Judy and Jerry Sheindlin, who have been married for an impressive 45 years, are preparing to celebrate another year of wedded bliss. Their marriage, which began with a brief separation, has remained harmonious ever since their reconciliation, away from the spotlight and adding to Judy’s overall happiness.
