Discussions of a sexual nature are not commonplace, however, some cases may involve discussion of past relations between the plaintiff and the defendant, or their relationships with other people. Some episodes may contain references to sexually transmitted diseases, infidelity, and in less frequent instances, somewhat explicit descriptions of sex acts (though terms deemed ill-suited for network television are muted).

Contains only verbal references to past acts of violence and threat. Opposing parties may react aggressively to one another.

Judge Judy contsantly insults the planiffs and defendants calling people "idiots", "stupid" "moron" etc. mild profanity.

Occasional strong profanity, but given her strict nature, she won't allow dirty language, without repercussions, so most don't curse.

In one episode a man says to Judge Judy "That's bullshit!" She immediately hollers back at him "get off of my show!" And security is seen dragging him off the set.

Security drags a person off for calling the judge a "cunt".

Many uses of crackhead.

Contains only infrequent mild coarse language in some episodes, including terms such as "bitch" "pissed" and "crap", however, the use of such terms are typically used in the context of the opposing parties recalling past incidents in which such terms may have been used. Stronger terms are muted.

Contains only verbal references to alcohol misuse and illicit substances in some episodes, and such behaviour is not condoned.

The way she bullies people, and her overall attitude, especially in later seasons will make certain viewers uncomfortable

This show is more less laid-back than "Judge Joe Brown" or "Judge Mathis." Judy is very uneasy as a person, and also this causes several to give her lip.
