Who knows?

Anyway its a TV show. Ever wondered how much these people are paid to appear on the show? I think its MORE than the amount they are fighting over.

The very first comment on the video would have answered your question.. @cme98 because in the beginning she said she quit and when Judy asked her if she had a lawsuit against the doctor it was because she was suing him for wrongful termination which means her whole story was a lie. shumid07 4 days ago 27

“The award limit on Judge Judy, as on most “syndi-court” shows (and most small claims courts in the U.S.), is $5,000. The award for each judgment is paid by the producers of the show, from a fund reserved for the purpose.

Both the plaintiff and the defendant receive $100 for their appearance as well as $35 a day, paid to them by the show. The litigants’ stay lasts for the number of days that the show does taping for that week, which is two or three days.[citation needed] In addition, the airfare (or other means of travel) and hotel expenses of the litigants and their witnesses are covered by the show.”

In the early days of “The Peoples Court” I read that the $5000 was also a pool. If the judgment was less than that then both sides evenly split the remaining money out of the $5000. I later read that most court shows did the same. IIRC Judge Judy also did that.
