Judge Mathis asked me to be on his TV show! →[More:]

Well, actually it was his Senior Associate Producer, Mr. Doug Relkin.

I've filed papers against my ex-boss (long story, but let's just sum up and say she's a slimy asshole and I'm blowing the whistle on her) and Mr. Relkin says he came across the public record of my lawsuit and he's hoping to help me get the money I feel I deserve!

He also told me that in 1995, Judge Greg Mathis was elected one of the youngest Judges in America, and that the rulings he makes on the program are final, legal and binding.

He wants me to call as soon as possible so that they can attempt to help me get the justice I seek!

Oh hell yeah! But doesn't she have to consent also? I can't imagine there's anything in it for her to go along with this.

OH, do tell us you will go thru with this and keep us posted...

posted by bunnyfire 21 March | 13:16

Agreed. I eagerly away updates and shenanigans.

And I *await* them, too.

Oh, I'm so sorry to disappoint, but even if she agreed to fly to Chicago and do this (which she never would), I need this case to go to court at it's scheduled date of April 21.

Sorry. (I'm still young, I may yet get onto court TV...)

But isn't it fun to think about?

And the thing is, I know he would rip into her like Judge Judy on a bad day!

COOL!!!!! This the the super neurotic micromanaging moron you worked for?

posted by chewatadistance 21 March | 13:35

YES!

All hell is breaking loose on her slimy ass, and my lawsuit is only a tiny piece.

posted by Specklet 21 March | 13:40

Wow. I kinda hate those shows, but Judge Mathis is kind of an awesome dudege.

What's the lawsuit about, Specklet? Are you allowed to tell us? Is this the last boss you had, the one from hell?

posted by essexjan 21 March | 14:08

Nice, Specklet!! Please let us know when you win this case!!

posted by Sil 21 March | 14:49

It's the boss from hell, Jan, but you would know better than I if I should go into details online. I mean, how in the hell could she trace this, and even if she did, I haven't used her name at all...

Tell you what, if you're dying of curiosity, email me, and I'll be happy to give you a summary.

I believe tv courts, legally, are classified as binding arbirtration.

Although I know on some of them the show itself pays the judgement.

posted by kellydamnit 21 March | 16:32

Oh yes, they are most definitely binding arbitration.

posted by Specklet 21 March | 16:37

Aw, too bad it's gotta go to court so soon, Specklet. It would've been fun to see you on TV!

I think Judge Judy's show pays for whomever loses.

Run the crazy boss out of business.
It's nice to know she really is legally out of bounds.
Because, man, did you go on about crazy boss.

I love Judge Mathis! I do..it's one of my guilty secrets - those judge shows. I can't wait to hear that you've won! (Whether or not it's televised, I know you'll win).

You have to win
and use your new found riches to build the MechaMansion West.
Doesn't whistleblowing come with reward money?
It's like the Old West.
