I learned the hard way that co-works are JUST co-workers.NOT friends.
Say that louder, Sis! And HR is NOT your friend, nor on your side. HR works for the EMPLOYER, not the employee. Only take your benefits questions to them, not your problems --- unless you have plenty of CYA documentation...PROOF
@@MrsSonyaKS U right.
You are so right! I found out the hard way! I was setup, written up, blamed for something after I did the right thing.
Yes! I never get it twisted. (However I'm surprised in 25 years they've never had dinner. Not even a drink after work)?
I told a Co Worker, who I already knew was not my friend, that I don't TRUST anybody here including myself because I might say one thing and do something else.
They USE YOU UNTIL THEY DON'T NEED YOU.
His contract was done girl bye
Tamron Hall comes to mind...
That OK, "USED" GOODS got PAID WELL.
@@shirley9209 Only a person who doesn't mind being "USED" but paid well would be alright with that.
@@25marshalyn How does being "USED" and do your JOB is the same?
This is the most I’ve ever heard him talk in 25 years.
Lmao yes, right?😂😂😂😂
Well bailiffs aren't usually known for being verbose. Their job doesn't require them to be, usually the opposite
Exactly!!!! He is an extra. Not even a supporting actor. 😂
I don't think it had to do anything with price (or may be it did a bit). My speculation is that main reason Officer Byrd wasn't approached was that Judy wanted her grand daughter to be launched who is an unknown face, a newcomer. So on Judge Judy, Judy is the main star and after her Officer Byrd gets all the attention, so is he is there Judy's grand daughter won't be getting the kind of traction Judy may have wanted her to get. I don't know... its a far fetched theory, but seems a like a reason to me Judy won't ask him to return, because as they say... family comes first.
yea her grand daughter is pretty annoying with her after show thoughts. she just talks and talks lol.
Officer Byrd doesn't say a word about the loot💰 he accumulated while at the service of 🎭JUDGE JUDY.He just 🤑couldn't get enough.I'm sure he wasn't just let go empty handed😂
I didn't realize her grand daughter was on it.
@@GiftedVisionaryThat's not right that she talks and talks!!
That's probably more "it" than anything else. Judy REALLY wanted her granddaughter to be a part of the show, and maybe she thought Byrd, after being around for 25 years, might "compete" with the presence of her granddaughter, even though in a lot of episodes, Byrd didn't really do or say much. The NEW bailiff REALLY doesn't say or do much, and that's probably by design. I miss Byrd being there, but the new show has its appeal, as Judy has the granddaughter on the internet checking on stuff while the trial is going, and I kind of like the after-trial discussions that they have. And I KNOW Judy likes that.
Every disappointment is a blessing. Never put your faith in a person, that way you will never be disappointed.
💯
Well said! Amen!
Oh yes.
Don't trust anyone. Ever. Great way to live.🙄
That's big facts!
Just because you work with someone for 25 Years don't mean they are your friend or they
Truly like you.
After hearing him say "they have never even had lunch together in 25yrs", I understand why she didn't ask him to be on the new show. They were just coworkers but being a two person act, a phone call saying "I'm doing my own thing" would have been a nice gesture.
They were NOT co-workerS. It was her show and she was his employer. His contract ended and she chose not to continue to employ him. Much to his and all of us surprise.
But what I don’t understand is why she made it seem like their relationship was more than that on the show when it wasn’t…
@@sandramarshall8127, Actually they both had contacts with the network and she was not his employer. I’m sure she had say so about whose on the show but she didn’t pay him directly. They could have replaced her and kept him if the network wanted.
@@Onika0325 cuz it's television...you don't believe everything u see on TV do u? Fake this and fake that....
@@Onika0325the whole judge and bailiff act/front was to draw viewers, so they present as a team. To create a vision, fraudulent as it was.
And as far as being cold and indifferent, she doesn't have to act outside of who she is. There is no acting there.
What does price yourself out mean? 35 years of knowing her, 25 years of service and having her back. She couldnt respect him enough to give him a better reason.🙍🏾♀ Wow
The very least she should have done is be upfront about it as soon as she considered not having him with her
As my good friend, Johnny "Hitman" Martarano used to say: "it's nothing personal, it's just business." It's not like he provided comic relief or had a quirky personality to play off the no B.S. Judge Judy Temperament. He could be replaced by 99% of bluecollar workers. Not a tough job, but a very lucrative job, since he was amking over 1million / year.
@@richardmilliken8705 It is personal, way too many years to not have a sit down at the very least.
@@petewiltfang Right, too many years together and to just not talk about the future. Wth
@@silkrtf Judge Judy does not own or have any involvement in directing or producing the show. She is just an employee and nothing more. Those type of hiring decisions are made by TV Executives. For whatever reason, the TV Execuives decided to go in a different direction and hire someone else.
Byrd had a long run (25 years) in which he got paid over $1 million dollars per year, as a bailiff on the TV Show. Prior to that he was a High School Guidance Counselor and a Court Officer. The man has worked over 50 years and is in his 70s. He is financially better off than 99% of Americans. He can literally live off the interest of all of his investments.
My friend's son is a 12 year old Dwarf that can juggle bowling pins while he rides a unicycle and he can do back-flips as well. He could bring a lot more to the Judge Judy show than Byrd, and he would be more than happy to work for 1/10th of what Byrd was making.
After 30 years of service, my co-worker (a cashier) was fired because $61 was missing out of her drawer! Mind you, the supervisors are in and out of our cash registers…skimming money, giving more bills and change, etc.
We have surveillance cameras, unless they could prove on camera that she pocketed the money…she should have NOT been fired!
Thanks for 30 years!! 😬
I hope she went to the labor board
That was sad
He makes too much money, that’s why they let him go.
She should of sued.
If she didn't steal in 30 years, she probably didn't steal anything
That’s why any opportunity I get for a better job, I’m leaving my current job to do it. I’m only loyal to myself and what benefits my family! Right thru!
Period!!!! I have been saying this same thing
Period!
They tell me how they feel about me every pay day.
@@zxcccccc1 U telling them how you feel when you show up on work day.
It makes me really sad in a society, this is how we have to be. I’m experiencing a coming of age moment in my life where I previously genuinely looked out for all others and their best interest for the greater good of all in situations. I’m slowly learning (the hard way) the world is a bit darker than I thought. Kind of sad. Humans are trash.
If she wanted a new bailiff, she could've been woman enough to tell him. It's kinda cowardly
Agree! Just cold to me!
He should challenge her to a fist fight
I agree and disrespectful as well.
Thank you ty ty
Exactly! Just say I'm starting something new and will be choosing a new staff. She's worth a half a billion dollars. Had she wanted him, she could definitely have afforded him. Her show found $47 million a year for her to be condescending to people. 😏
She threw him UNDER THE BUS! SHAME ON HER!!
💯
I’m saddened to hear how Officer Byrd found he wasn’t considered. The reason was weak and disingenuous. But, it was telling that over decades when he contacts the Judge she responds. Possibly in her mind it was best to keep professional & personal relationships separate. It didn’t appear he was complaining vs sharing his story. Everyone else is speculating and taking sides.
Like what sob story is he giving that comment really threw me. Judy is an intelligent woman. I know nothing more about her to take any side
I like both....
You are likely correct with keeping personal and professional relationships separate. It's a good thing to do especially in her position of such power. Best thing to do for both honestly.
Judge Judy earns $47 million dollars a year. Fvck are you even talking about..? That's not even including the residuals she sued for.
This guy was with her for over twenty years. Pay the man. It's called loyalty/appreciation in the business world.
This speaks volumes about her character.
@@republicoftexas4651
I 100% agree
God has something better for him. Trust and be encouraged.
@Hjc Ceril Amen!
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT "Sugar Spice"?!! Literally, is that just something you say for these types of circumstances or is God giving you A SPECIFIC DEFINITE VISION? *******HE HAS AN EXTREMELY REMARKABLE PROFESSIONAL BRAVADO WITH APPEALING SEXINESS IN HIS BOSS VOICE" FOR VOICE OVER WORK AND " MORE"! THAT WAS REAL SAD THE MECHANISM OF HIS DISPLACEMENT❗
Facts!!!
I don't believe God is racking his brain over this set for life millionaire losing his job
I hope all is well with your wife and you two will move forward with abundance blessings your way. .
He was a school counselor and school safety officer here in Foster City, Ca. in the 90's. Not only did he help change the lives of the kids, but always took interest in helping his co-workers and anyone that needed guidance. A great sense of humor too. Bryd is a great man, and deserved a better farewell from the show, and most definitely deserved a call from Judy letting him know that she wasn't having him back. At the very least, she should have called him, not the other way around.
I agree! And I feel that whatever Bryd does, it will be a sucess.
Thanks for sharing this information about him! That speaks volumes about the type of person he is. I pray he and his family be blessed. I had the opportunity to personally witness Judge Judy in her element in Atlanta,GA years ago. She is NOT a pleasant woman, to say this least. Her response to him is not at all surprising to me.This gentleman is a classy guy, even in spite of the way she chose to treat him.
Good, then take the loaded millionaire back. Because ONLY of Judge Judy, she employed him and his wife, made that family so many easy fng millions. Byrd was making over a million a year alone. Take the pity party somewhere else. AND she offered his wife a job on the her new show. He don't tell u that. He just wants to be a whiny victim. She doesn't owe him SQUAT. That show was about HER. Nobody gave a rat's azz about him. Inflated ego.
I have never cared for the Judge Judy show. You can be entertaining without being condescending and rude. Good luck to Mr Byrd. I wish all involved God's blessings.
-& Easy on the Eyes ...🙂
So nice to see you smiling. It is sad when you put your heart and soul in your job for all those years only to get dumped. But God has something bigger and better for you. Hope your wife recovers quick.
I'm disgusted. There's no loyalty where money is concerned. Let's all pretend people in charge didn't think he was easily replaceable and that's what they did. Replaced him. And "Judge Judy" allowed it. (Allegedly)
Oh man! In 35 years you NEVER got invited to dinner? Not even a restaurant? I knew my team a week and we were scheduling lunch, we'd stay late after work just to hang out, and some even dated! So yep, I'm disgusted all the way around with this situation. People can and should be nicer to one another.
Just because you work with someone does not mean you have to be friends.
@@ThatOneBitch69 No, but you should respect the relationship. If she didn't want to work with him a simple statement saying so would have been appropriate.
@@sistakia33 maybe she had no choice. We are only hearing his side of the story.
@@ThatOneBitch69 We know the price of celebrity. Hollywood tells you if you want fame, you must be willing to sacrifice everyone and everything. It's a strong person that says "No!" Some things should be worth more. Loyalty should be one of those things.
(That's not this situation, this is every situation.)
I absolutely love Byrd! He is definitely a class act and I wish him and his family well!
Sad about his wife and this happened
Also hosts its awk even if there's monsters and ur not always shown to be looking not at the screen fix that please
I've never seen ur show is this 1 new ??
Also burt has huge hands perfect for his job s
Yessss

@@ianarmstrong1636. I'm not really a fan! I like the dynamic between her and Byrd.
Let's go Byrd. Well, apparently she had a change of heart, because he's now one of the bailiffs on Tribunal Justice on Amazon Prime.
He is an incredible man and I wish him and his family all the best ❤️
I’m not shocked. She saw him as “a bailiff” not a human being. Let it be a wake up call for all, to never feel comfortable at your job
Lol he did his job and his contract was done. She didn't have to do anything.
@@kimmyblanco4298 No worry there, she didn't even bother.
I just love your comment on the workforce. America's workforce is the absolute pits but luckily us millennials don't stick around for much bs like Byrd's generation. Byrd's generation is taught to get a job and keep it for 40 to 50 years until you retire. Millennials know what time it is, that companies like to underpay, treat us as disposable, get rid of us, so we are constantly trying to advance and shut the door on jobs quickly. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I wouldn't be surprised if she saw him as "something worse" than just a bailiff.
@@eugeneqmil Race baiter.
The show will not be as entertaining his expressions are priceless
Yeah her new show won't do well.
Wanna bet! She makes that show! Not Byrd
If that really was the case he'd have his own show.
I never even noticed them. The only time I remembered his presence was when he was picking up papers or she asked him something.
I will not look at her show.
YES, I love Byrd. I just watched the new show for the first time yesterday and was very disappointed to see Byrd not there. I never knew Judy was that exclusive or upity. Unless she’s dealing with the characters in the series to make herself look so friendly, humorous, or nice etc…
That's her granddaughter who researches things for her. I think she's toned down her behavior and wonder if it's because she feels like she should be a good role model.
@Sandra Leigh , no it's because of the woke little crybabies clown world we live in today's world, sadly.
I hope he gets hired by someone else who treats him so well that in the long run he’s happier than he’s ever been; good things happen to good people
The man was making over 1 million dollars per year for 25 years, and he doesn't have to work another day in his life. The man's in his 70s and he had a better run than 99% of the people. Most men would give their left nut to make 1/10th of what he was making for basically doing nothing more than passing paperwork to Judy. He provided no comic relief and he only spoke when Judy asked him a question. I worked harder as a 6 year old paperboy delivering newspapers, and i was only making $10 per week in the mid-60s.
Richard: Very good points.👍
@Richard Milliken , exactly.
Money is NOT everything
Time to do your OWN thing Bird!!
He may not even want to. He's getting up there in age and he may be ready to settle down (as he should.) All the same, it was trifling to not even give your colleague of 3 decades the time of day to even consider it
@@jonathanparker6209 clearly, he is still wanting to work since he would've followed Judy to the next gig, if he was invited. Byrd is just as much a staple as Judy and he could definitely carry his own gig, if the right opportunity is presented. Judy is much older than he is & she ain't settling down. The people who stay active are the ones who have a better quality of life....all work isn't hard work!
Yes he can do his own thing and he will because he is a bird he will fly as high as an Eagle and by the grace of god he will reach the mountain top Good luck Mr Bird .

Amen,and he made the show for me. Judy to nasty for me.
Byrd is a great man very smart and very compassionate
Most people on the comments of the shows on YT are saying, can you please bring Bert back? They don't even know what his actual name is. It's hilarious. 😂 And really? Who's gonna wanna hire someone that can't be discrete? And, for crying out loud, he's an actual bailiff, not an actor. And I think he got the heave ho. But you know Judge Judy just did it in a nice way instead of saying, GTFO, YOU'RE FIRED.
He has already had his time. Give someone else their time! People is so damn Stupid!
The show was about her not him. I didn’t watch the show to see his ‘bubbly personality’. I watched to see her sift through the BS and serve up justice like a BOSS!!!!
Byrd, the energy is being put into it bc we LOVE YOU!!!
She tells him HE overpriced HIMSELF but yet she’s the highest paid judge on tv?! I could say a lot but I’ll leave this right here but I WILL say this, if she wanted him on her new show, he would’ve been there…
She’s Jewish not Italian
She is the talent!!! 1. She negotiated her contract. She did not have a gun to the network’s head and make them pay what she negotiated. She is the talent! Clearly she didn’t want him and that is her prerogative. Finally she is the talent!
It's funny how Byrd conveniently left out that Judge Judy offered his wife (who was a producer on Judge Judy at one time) a job as producer on her new show and his wife declined due to her medical condition.
Yeah, very funny Byrd conveniently omits that from his sob story.
Sorry, but it's Byrd who comes off shady. Judge Judy gave him a 25 year career (and financial stability for a quarter of a century) on a silver platter.
She owes him NOTHING. You get that?? If anyone should be grateful, it should be Byrd - for the job she literally gave him 25 yrs ago that elevated his income and lifestyle and broadened and provided him a whole new avenue of opportunities.
But of course he's not grateful, he's instead an entitled "victim".
His story doesn't even make sense and he contradicts himself every other sentence.
He claims they weren't friends, just "friendly".
Yet then he says he has her personal cell phone number and that when he calls her on it, she answers immediately as she always does - his words.
Then he claims his relationship with her is equivalent to what the mail clerk at Microsoft would have with Bill Gates.
Really?? I doubt the mail clerk has Bill Gates personal cellphone number.
Then, again, he conveniently leaves out that his wife (who was once a producer on Judge Judy) was personally offered a job as producer on Judy's new show by Judge Judy herself.
He claims that at the final taping of the last Judge Judy episode, nothing was said to him about the new show
Byrd again conveniently leaves out the fact that Judge Judy was NOT even there in person at the studio. Due to Covid, Judge Judy appeared via satellite video feed from NEW YORK while Byrd and the plaintiffs/defendants were at the L.A. studio being filmed - and all the interaction between Byrd, the defendants/plaintiffs, and Judge Judy was all through live video satellite feed.
So how did Judy ignore him???? She wasn't even there in person!!!
He himself says that the very next day after the last episode was taped, his wife had neurosurgery for her brain tumor. And he didn't bother to call Judge Judy for another 2-3 months, which by that time the new show already started production.
Yeah, of course Byrd-brain conveniently leaves all that out.

7/18/23: Why am I not surprised that his situation was handled so poorly? After 25 long years, it was terribly wrong, and I don't believe for a second that he sugar coated any portion of his story. He spoke candidly from the heart. Her loss, but his gain, because there's something better on the horizon for him. I hope his wife is doing well.
We love you. No one can replace you.
Judge Judy without Byrd is just not natural. It breaks my 💔. I'm glad to hear his wife is doing well though!🙏 We need to get this man back on T.V.

How can he overprice himself when there was never negotiations? She is not a nice person. The world knows that.
Greedy mean woman not surprisingly enough she can find someone cheaper NO LOYALTY not surprisingly
Facts!!!
I’m really disappointed in the judge. If her new show is going to be like the old one then she should never have chosen money over a loyal employee. I could see if it’s going to be something different, but it doesn’t sound like it and especially when she said he priced himself out of it. Greed makes people so ugly.
I won't be watching anymore
My late grandmother couldn't stand her she told me that that's the nasty attitude woman very disrespectful and she got the nerve to tell him he priced himself out
When she signed
a
Multi-million dollar contract for herself
Maybe God has a better plan for him. Some of us need to be forced out of our comfort zone to align with God's plan.
💯
That is a WORD!
Amen to that!!!
Yessss!!!
You know, I think it's not so much about Judge Judy (or the production team) not wanting him on the new job. I think it's more about her not telling him after the decision had been made.
This is so upsetting I really thought she would have a great relationship with Byrd. 😢
Aside from him being paid $1M/yr, I'm more shocked that they haven't had lunch or dinner together in 25 years!!!
That's just sad, the show is not going to be the same without him. It was disrespectful for her to not even ask hey would you like to be a part of this show? I mean Byrd was with Judge Judy for 25 years, you've known him for 35 that had to hurt him. Forget about being friends, this man stood by you for that long and you just replaced him. Better things await you Byrd I wish you well!!
It won't matter.. They watch for her, not him.
"the show is not going to be the same without him." Exactly!
I don't even watch. Plus it's not the same.
Well..... Maybe she didn't have to ask him to join the show, especially if they had someone else in mind. But I do agree that a phone call letting him know that the show was going to be moving in a different direction, and thanking him for his years of service.....would have been a nice thing to do.
True, when I heard that she didn't even tell him about the new show after 25 years of knowing each other Wow.
Clearly, she looked at Byrd as the help, albeit very well paid help. It's her show and she can do what she wants, but this was handled in a classless, tacky manner. Judge Judy may find that her show has just run out of steam. Sometimes it's better to quit while you're ahead.
Not necessarily, as long as there money to be made she going to wear that GAVEL OUT, from the looks of it, she will be judging from the GRAVE.
@@shirley9209 Yup. Just greedy.
@@greenbyrd3665 I thought she had more CLASS/CARE than that.
Don't pull a muscle with that reaching. Byrd is a grown ass man who's work contract sadly came to an end with an amazing 2.5 Million dollar net worth, what an amazing future he and his family can have with his fruits.
@@tokyos7459 Just as I said. Well paid help.
I love Judge Judy so much. Such an amazing woman.
There’s always two sides to a story,and I love Byrd but there is always two sides to a story.
That’s unprofessional on her end, if she wanted to do something else she should have communicated that to him. Everybody is grown until it’s time to communicate. To know her 30 years and to be on her show 25 and then let go without a fair notice makes me wonder who is she for real on the inside ? As for Byrd when one door closes another one is sure to open praying for Big Blessings his way 💙
It’s not unprofessional, if his contract ended they don’t owe him a phone call, she didn’t fire him publicly. He’s not her partner but a contractor employee . Contact employee don’t require notice.
@@cindyben3089 if he was "contract employee", wouldn't Mr. Byrd knew this 25yrs ago before he called her why he was not notified about the new show?. He would not have bothered calling if this was the case.
I guess it is just like bf/gf relationship. When gf is ready to leave she does so without closure which is very rude. She leaves dude hanging like that which is exactly what Judge Judy did.
@@uptownbayarea6068 Contracts end when the show ends, that how they're able to just replace him. They don't need to notify him because the contract is over.
@@cindyben3089 I don't dispute this unless you know this for a fact. My concern is, if he knew his contract ended right there why did he contact Judge Judy?. He could have simply informed his wife the moment she reminded him that contract has ended. But it looks like he was surprised.
His contract ended in the show ended. His wife was also a producer on the show. If you go and listen to some his other interviews she didn't tell him about the new show from what he said. He found out about the new show and contacted her. Her granddaughter Judy and someone else put this new show together and they wanted to have fresh new energy. This man made a great deal of money he had 25 years of experience he's old nothing more. With that being said she could have contacted him and gave him a heads-up so he wouldn't have been blindsided. At the end of the day I don't feel sorry for him. Some people are in our lives for a moment a season and a lifetime. They had a working business relationship nothing more nothing less. He's coming off as being entitled listen to some of the statements that he put out in the other interviews. Plus all of this attention he's been offered some new opportunities he should take that and milk that for what it's worth. When it's time to move on you can't take the same energy in the same people with you everywhere you go it's just not going to work. We have to have these type of experiences in order to elevate higher and to move forward and to grow. Look he's going to be fine
How does one price themselves out of a job without even discussing a job offer?
Asked the fake acting wicked Judge ?
She used that as an excuse. She didn't want him on her new show or she would have asked him.
When people do something wrong or shady...they need to some how put the blame back on you....so it’s his fault for wanting high wage ...so she reversed it into him ....meanwhile the job opening/ position & wages were never discussed .....basically she doesn’t want him on her show and she made up a lie
He's been getting pretty old. Do you really see Byrd alone stopping 4 young people from fighting in court? He would fall with a little push. He's almost 65 years old.
@@petrasworld913 her granddaughter probably got bryd's salary!!!!
The new bailiff is lovely and has a positive attitude, I watched every episode!
I love the new guy. I'm glad they replaced him...he was so dry and emotionless.
@@monicahill6175 he was a fucking bailiff do you expect him to happily kick people out of court?!???
Officer Petri Hawkins-Byrd seem bothered by Judge judy sheindlin. For example: If one pay attention when she would ask about a KBB he’s body language and tone seem bothered by it or anything she would ask of him.
Now what kills me is that after 35 years of knowing each other and 25 years of being on TV with her she didn’t even talk to him about his price then telling him he over priced himself! Should Judy take a cognitive test?
We love you Byrd! Every disappointment is an opportunity! 💗
Wow! I didn't know this! I met him at a summer event in Sacramento, Ca. He was the host. A very nice and funny man when away from that court show. But the icing on the cake is he can really sing! Great personality! He will always go far. May God continue to Bless he and his family.
Burt obviously didn't agree with her attitude. He didn't eat her up.
This is the most I've ever heard him talk lol
Byrd definitely seems like a stand up guy. I'm sure he will be able to adapt to whatever he will do moving forward. This is just a reminder not to put your all into a job because we are good until they no longer need you as they get all they want out of you. This was just a business relationship that's all. But he will be fine
We love you Byrd. You were the best 👌
I have always favored myself as a Judge Judy fan. I love the show and my DVR is set for new episodes and old ones. Honestly, this day it's over. I'm saddened to know that the friendly relationship (w/Bryd) she portrayed on TV was an act. It's not about race... it's about loyalty. Good luck on your new endeavors🙏🏿
Yeah she had everyone fooled.
Did you NOTICE he NEVER LOOKED her EYE to EYE FACE to FACE....
If not WATCH those OLD SHOWS ????
I always question why BLACK people done that ; BACK in the DAY it was WRITTEN INTO LAW
BUT ; in TODAYS LAW you can LOOK a WHITE WOMAN in her FACE/EYES....
BACK THEN YOU WENT TO JAIL ARE HELL FOR LOOKING AT A WHITE WOMAN
@@mzznewyork5695 I always noticed that.
The entire JUDGE SHOW are just that...A SHOW, no real courtroom would have those type of antics with the judge bantering back and forth with the bailiff. These shows are just TALK SHOWS dressed as trial/courtroom with the judge serving in the place of a talk show host. NOT REAL.
Well said
She was wrong for that, period. And I loved them together😭😭
He made the mistake of trusting her too much
Me too.
It was the combo of the two that made the show popular. Judy is going to be in for a surprise.
@@sunlover2467 right. She was one of maybe 3 people I actually wanted to meet now I'm looking at her side eyed. I only liked show in it's entirety because of Officer Byrd
@@CeeJay611 maybe you should look at Byrd side eyed instead.
It's funny how Byrd conveniently left out that Judge Judy offered his wife (who was a producer on Judge Judy at one time) a job as producer on her new show and his wife declined due to her medical condition.
Yeah, very funny Byrd conveniently omits that from his sob story.
Sorry, but it's Byrd who comes off shady. Judge Judy gave him a 25 year career (and financial stability for a quarter of a century) on a silver platter.
She owes him NOTHING. You get that?? If anyone should be grateful, it should be Byrd - for the job she literally gave him 25 yrs ago that elevated his income and lifestyle and broadened and provided him a whole new avenue of opportunities.
But of course he's not grateful, he's instead an entitled "victim".
His story doesn't even make sense and he contradicts himself every other sentence.
He claims they weren't friends, just "friendly".
Yet then he says he has her personal cell phone number and that when he calls her on it, she answers immediately as she always does - his words.
Then he claims his relationship with her is equivalent to what the mail clerk at Microsoft would have with Bill Gates.
Really?? I doubt the mail clerk has Bill Gates personal cellphone number.
Then, again, he conveniently leaves out that his wife (who was once a producer on Judge Judy) was personally offered a job as producer on Judy's new show by Judge Judy herself.
He claims that at the final taping of the last Judge Judy episode, nothing was said to him about the new show
Byrd again conveniently leaves out the fact that Judge Judy was NOT even there in person at the studio. Due to Covid, Judge Judy appeared via satellite video feed from NEW YORK while Byrd and the plaintiffs/defendants were at the L.A. studio being filmed - and all the interaction between Byrd, the defendants/plaintiffs, and Judge Judy was all through live video satellite feed.
So how did Judy ignore him???? She wasn't even there in person???
He himself says that the very next day after the last episode was taped, his wife had neurosurgery for her brain tumor. And he didn't bother to call Judge Judy for another 2-3 months, which by that time the new show already started production.
Yeah, of course Byrd-brain conveniently leaves all that out.
Easier to play the victim these days. In modern society, victimhood has become a sort of social currency. Everyone is a victim
How do you price yourself out if you never negotiated a contract???🤨🤔
I won’t watch her new show without Byrd
I won't be watching jj any longer without Mr. Byrd.
Speedy recovery and healing to his wife and family. 💕❤️
Same
Yeah me too
Is anyone really surprised that Judy is a scandalous business partner ?
Everyone knows I'm the biggest fan of the show, but seeing the new guy their energy is weird. The vibe just isn't the same and I will stick to watching the originals.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Understand Me!!
Actually, I like the new guy energy. It's the total opposite of Byrd. May be that's a clue of why he was left out.
We only have Byrd's point of view on this matter. I don't know if judge Judy will ever express herself. And if she won't, that won't mean she didn't have a good point.
That women can't wait and is very rude, among other things. She's very smart, always ahead of things. But, she had showed her kind heart in more than one cases on her show.
I don't know if we'll be ever able to put our finger on this. I don't even think that's really our business, now that I'm writting this.
I wish him the best of luck! He will have other endeavors in the future!
The public loves you!!! Good luck in all you do,prayers to wife
Prayers for your wife's recovery B ✝️🛐💚🙏🏽
25 years.
This man put 25 years in with that woman and she did him like that. She is dead WRONG. It’s like when people become successful, they forget those who helped them move up.
She was a judge that’s pretty successful. Not everyone passes the bar , even less people become judges. I hope he invested his millions well.
Let's not make Byrd sound like he has not been successful for the past 25+ years. He was successful in law enforcement, as a school counselor, and as a long time television personality on a hit show. He should be treated with respect and praised for his accomplishments and not presented like a victim due to someone else's career choice. Contracts aren't required to be renewed and advanced notice is not required to be given. It's called life. Cowboy Up. Stay tuned. There's a "best selling" book in the making here.
Dead wroooooooooong
@@Must-love-all-dogs he is being respected, that’s why people are upset that he wasn’t considered to be on Judy’s next show. Nobody said anything about playing victim. I’m just making it known that dropping someone after 25 years without even as much as a notice or a reason behind it really sucks.
The fact that they were together 25 years and never lunched together says a lot.
He’s been by her side all those years and seen first hand how she’s treated people. It was only a matter of time before he felt her sting as well. This is a lesson to all of us WATCH HOW THE PEOPLE YOU HANG AROUND TREAT OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY’LL EVENTUALLY TRY YOU AS WELL
By her side doing what exactly? He just stood there and got paid buckets. With the new show format he wouldn't even be on camera. She doesn't owe him a career.
@@ibendover4817 Do you know how many potential people would of went after Judy’s smart ass if it weren’t for him? That’s why she talks the way that she does because she knows that she is protected. Imagine all of the crazy things that they didn’t put on the air that occurred. He may of stood there but he definitely protected her and did his job when the time came. Your right, she doesn’t owe him anything but if that were me and I had the same dude protect me for almost a quarter of my life I would of brought him along to the new show.
@@toocoolgames5700 You do realise they have real security on set that doesn't consist of just him right? You do also realise that there are PLENTY of burly people that would be able to do the same for a fraction of the cost.. including his replacement. This guy was overpaid, entitled, lacked work ethic and she didn't owe him anything. The audience member extras in the background added more to the show than him while getting paid peanuts.
Wow 🥺
Employer/employee relationships are just that, don't get it twisted. Hawkins had a 25-yr run, so hopefully he can easily move on to the next phase of his life/career. Who knows, maybe he'll land something even better. Wishing him and his family the very best. 🙏🏾❤
Thank you. I thought I was the only one. 25 years at that salary!!!! That was a good run!!
But was it professional that he was not informed and if is true he had NOT asked for a raise in salary , how could he then price himself out?!!!! That is the point, sure you work at the p..o. 25 years. Ya likely thinking ya got 30 years to do it ??????Still amazes me when we do not get the point...it's like yeah, she' was a nurse for 25 years and made good money but suppose that 26 the year, she had a goal set after having done good work not knowing she was going to be replaced / unemployed? Y'all get it?
@@bonitahobbs2097 the contract was ending for the show. Everyone knew the show was ending. He should not have assumed he was going to the next show. He was being paid a salary of a million dollars. Clearly she did not want to pay that for her new show on a streaming service. Which is her prerogative. He worked 25 years on this show.
@@bonitahobbs2097 This is a new show all together. On a new streaming service. It's non of his business if he is not part of the cast.
@@west533 no kidding. Twenty five years already, what do people expect? A million....u can find someone else for 100k.....standing around for a few months.
Who's surprised? She treats people like crap on the show.
Never liked her rude, condescending attitude.
Gravy train is over.......! 25 years, most marriages don’t last that long.
Correction: She treats stupid people like crap ! (well deserved too)
Same thing I said ; I’m not shocked that smart mouth of hers is too much !! She talks to people like they are trash. Hunti , I don’t watch! I’m sure it doesn’t matter! 🤣
Right ✅
What a seemingly wonderful true gentlemen and to be cast aside like that after 25 years really bothers me. For her to say you priced yourself out of the market without anyone ever having spoken with him is to me nothing but hubris on Judi‘s part. I hope he and his wife have a long happy healthy life because they seem like really nice people.
No suprise she does not have one ounce of a caring attitude in her body. Uncaring is her M O. same as trump.
From personal experience, you can tell how your boss/manager really feels about you when a promotion comes into play. During your career, everything Is copacetic, until it is time to be promoted or move on to the next phase, then they let you know that you are not “worthy “ enough in so many words.
Who is suprised ? Judge Judy doesn't seem like she has any friends! Heck she doesn't even like her husband too much lol
He not her friednd he's an employee.
@@cindyben3089 exactly which mean if ur old employer had new plans for new employment , u would think they would inform their employees!
Ppl that act like this you wonder if they like themselves 🤨
After that ugly attitude that she has I won't be watching anything with her in it
@@cindyben3089 after 25 years get real and take your head out of the sand
To never have lunch or visit each other's family in 25 years?? Wow that says a lot.
That’s also counter to the culture of the legal field that Judge Judy comes from. Lawyers and Judges often take their colleagues out for a meal or a drink and do other things outside of work to keep the working relationship strong. Judge Judy must not have seen Byrd as her equal.
A whole lot smh😒
Well I have never been to the house of any Boss I worked with- been out for lunch or dinner to a restaurant but never their home and would never expected to have been invited.
@@lynne709 people can still have a good professional relationship, without being friends and see each other socially. Some might remember Abott and Costello, they despised each other in real life, but continued working together.
@@francishunt562 Judge Judy and Byrd didn’t have a problem with each other. They had a friendly working relationship so it’s strange that in 25 years they never shared a meal together. It’s not about being friends. It’s about having a respect and admiration for your colleague that reflects the contributions they make to your workplace environment.
Bird is just as much of Judge Judy's success as she is.
Without Bird Judge Judy just isn't the same. Shame on her !
waw I'm speechless!
Your co-workers are NOT your friends! You only have one common goal: MAKING MONEY!!! That's where it ends!
💯
@@tryin2beehappygolucky431 I'm not saying that your co-workers can't become your friends but until then, it's strictly BUSINESS
MESSAGE 💯✊🏿

Right on !!!!
How did he price himself out as a bailiff? It's her show. If she'd wanted him there she would have made it happen.
It's a good thing she didn't bring him. It turns out he was more than happy to throw her under the bus the first chance he got.
especially with what she is alleged to earn
@@katbar6066 She's the whole show. 🤭 The show is called, "Judge Judy." 😁 Stop being um.... ridiculous. 😂 He shouldn't have even got paid so much already for what he did. For what? 🤣🤣🤣 She went to school for years. What training did he have? This is a woman who succeeded in life. She chose to be a family court judge for years before she got noticed. It just boggles my mind that this guy is complaining. 🙄
I will not watch her show with the new person.
Judge has lived long and knows better.
I had some respect for her. God is watching!
@@patriciamaye6465 ya it's a successful woman who apparently is nothing without a man 🤣 (can't have a woman be a success) Keep in mind this is 2 days before Christmas Day.
Wow!!
I'm really surprised too hear this 🙌
Exactly. Thank you ladies for sharing what happened to him, and of course giving him a chance to speak on the matter. ❤
I will never look at Judge Judy the same way after this. As a law student I have always admired her no nonsense approach to the law. To think that she never shared a meal with Byrd in 25 years. How is that possible. I just started a new paralegal job last week and my attorney is taking me out to lunch this week so she can get to know me better. Lawyers are always inviting their colleagues out for drinks, dinner sporting events etc. It’s just apart of the work culture. She must have really looked at Byrd as simply the help and nothing more. I wish continued prosperity on Byrd and his family.
When you become a lawyer will you be required or expected to take your support staff with you if you move to a more successful law firm or become a judge yourself at some point? You are working as a paralegal now. Ask your boss if he or she is taking you with them if a better opportunity for them arises.
@@Must-love-all-dogs I’ve actually seen that happen several times. It’s very common in the legal field for people to take their colleagues with them as they move up the ranks or they at least try to maintain the relationship in some way after they part ways. The field is a tough one and not everyone has the stomach for it so when you find a good working relationship you want to keep that going as long as you can.
As a law student, you should know better than anyone there's something called nuance and three sides to every story. If you even watched the show the past 10 years, you'd know Byrd has mentally checked out of his job long ago. He's always playing crossword puzzles, is constantly irritable and gruff with the litigants, and barely engaged with the Judge when asked questions or to share any quips. Why would any employer continue to pay a tenured bailiff a million dollars a year who can't even fake enjoying his job when they can get a person much younger, more engaged, and cheaper? It's just business. And he's not entitled to be employed. Now granted, I will give you that Judith should have at least called him. That's the respectful thing to do after a working relationship for many years. But even that's not guaranteed. And that's no reason to badmouth your former employer. Especially when your wife is still connected to the show.
@@osimeon00 All bailiff’s act like Byrd and Judge Judy seemed to love the way he acted. He’s not saying he was entitled to the job. He’s just surprised that she didn’t talk for him about it directly. He’s not badmouthing her. He’s just telling what happened. Judge Judy already released a statement with her side of things and she didn’t refute Byrd’s account of how things went down. If this story puts Judge Judy in a bad light and changes the way that the public views her, that’s not Byrd’s fault.
The help 👍🏿💯😢
Loved seeing Judy and Byers’s banter
I don’t understand why she didn’t ask Bird, or at least give him a courtesy call. She can be a witch at times!…I love this man! 👍♥️
It wouldn't have been a problem for him if she would have just been honest and fair.
Naw I sense some entitlement here
@@iammslala7017 from who? Judge Judy yes.
@@zzizahacallar no him …Judge Judy owes him nothing. She negotiated her contact. They were work colleagues, that is all. He worked with her for 25 years making a great salary. He knew her contract was ending and he should have been preparing and not assume he would be asked to continue. Frankly I didn’t think he wanted to go with her because of his nonchalant attitude and doing cross word puzzles during court.
@@zzizahacallar she did not owe him. He is educated and has had great careers. But Respect is due. I have many co workers that I'm cool with but that is as far as it goes. I would definitely say thank you and good bye if I decided to make a change in our everyday routine. Damn this man took the job of keeping her *safe* and she don't even say Thank you. She's rude. What goes around comes around.
@@iammslala7017 Yup. And he's been getting pretty old. Do you really see Byrd alone stopping 4 young people from fighting in court? He would fall with a little push. He's almost 65 years old.
This is sad but true. I heard a judge from another TV show say, "when people show you who they are, believe them".
Facts
Maya Angelou said that.
@@cje3247 Thanks. I never knew who actually said it.
I think it is so very disrespectful for Byrd to not even be asked. Shame on judge Judy for letting that happen! I miss Byrd and don’t really want to watch anymore. Good luck to Makita - God bless!!!
I liked the fact he was on the judge Judy show but, he seem like he didn’t want to be there. He moved and acted like he was bothered to get paperwork or even respond. Real lack of motivation by him.
I really don't see why he would want an extension. Judy makes your chest tight. He said it himself. Never invited for dinner. If you don't keep in touch outside of work that's a Surefire way of knowing what your place in their life is.
I love Byrd and held Judge Judy in high regard. Heck, I've been watching the show for 25 years. I am so disappointed in her disregard for Byrd. It's not always what you do but how you do it Judge Judy. You really should call Byrd. Nothing new will succeed unless you do. 💯
The REAL tragedy is that her show lasted longer than 2 seasons. This was a clue into how evil and backwards the country/ world is. That a woman this rude, brutally nasty could be praised and rewarded with millions and 25 too many years on tv. This women is one of the most unnecessarily nasty women I've had the misfortune to watch. The way she breaks people down for no good reason is absolutely disgraceful!
Exactly, I watched a few of her shows and the vile,cruel way she talked “at” not to people was enough for me, getting paid millions upon millions of dollars to humiliate people and then seeing her pics in a bathing suit on a yacht sunning while this loyal man of 25yrs is out of a job, but on the other hand he was part of her cruelty shtick so 🤦🏾♀️
@@annkovacs8027 ...You said it best!! Damn shame.

@@annkovacs8027 I agree with everything you said, but the last part about him being out of the job. That's just business. It's nothing personal. I'm sure he is not hurting or wanting for anything and can easily get another job at a courthouse somewhere.

People have filed for bankruptcy for medical bills costing hundreds of thousands of dollars for surgery and treatment.
The main thing is, they didn't give him the courtesy of saying that they would not need him anymore.
What Judge Judy did to him was unforgivable. She's just CHEAP and ungrateful.
Yep!!
You both had a working relationship that was it. Byrd said we were cordial. They new each other over 30 years and never had dinner together.
It would have been nice of her to call him and let him know the deal.

His name is Byrd
Just goes to show you can be on any job (in any genre) for decades and come to work one day and poof, it's gone... People have worked for companies 25/30 years and in the blink of an eye it can be taken away... It just goes to confirm that no one (nor job) is indispensable... I feel for Byrd because working side-by-side with JJ for 25 years she couldn't give him the respect he deserved and call him to let him know he was out of a job... With that said, I'm sure he has a great pension package and I pray all is well with his wife post surgery :)
I don't understand them treating Byrd like this. I'm stunned. 😥
