Judge Judy Sheindlin's longtime bailiff, Petri Hawkins Byrd, told Insider in a recent interview that show staffers were surprised he wasn't asked to present the judge with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys in 2019.
Byrd didn't even sit with Sheindlin during the ceremony, he said. Instead, while Sheindlin and her executive producer, Randy Douthit, sat about five or six rows back from the stage, he was seated 15 or 20 rows back with the producers. Amy Poehler ultimately presented the award. According to Sheindlin, it was Poehler who had called the Television Academy and asked if she could present the judge with the award."She is a huge fan," Sheindlin told Insider in a statement.
But according to Byrd, he ran into Poehler a few months later, and she was equally confused by his exclusion at the ceremony. The revelation of this apparent snub follows last month's news that Byrd wasn't asked to join the judge at her new venture,"Judy Justice," which launched on Monday on IMDb TV., Byrd said he didn't know Sheindlin was producing a new show until she announced it during an appearance last year on"The Ellen Degeneres Show."
"I've never slighted her — I've always thought of her as a friend. And she's said it before that we're friends," Byrd told Insider."I'm like, then I guess I'd have to ask you to define your definition of friend. It might be a little different from mine."
There once was a mean old Judge Judy Whose airs had become so darn snooty With the face of a hag And the balls of a stag She made greed and bad faith her duty
Because bailiffs often hand out awards to television personalities? This is like a no story story
