Judge Judy

The Judge praised the societal benefits that the #MeToo movement has delivered. She also warned that the movement must not be misused. Accordingly, she chastised a young woman accused of allegedly using #MeToo as a tool significantly to harm others.

The episode, titled “The Judge”, is a programme presented in a single‑episode format. It falls within the general genre of a televised courtroom‑style segment, offering viewers a concise look at a particular issue through the lens of a judicial figure. In this installment the central figure, the Judge, commends the positive influence that the #MeToo movement has had on society. He acknowledges how the campaign has shone a light on previously hidden misconduct and has prompted a broader conversation about accountability. At the same time, the Judge turns his attention to a young woman who is alleged to have weaponised the movement for personal gain. He argues that, rather than seeking justice, she appears to be exploiting the momentum of #MeToo to cause damage to others. The contrast between praise and reprimand forms the core of the episode’s narrative. While the Judge celebrates the societal strides made possible by #MeToo, he also warns against its misuse, suggesting that the movement’s credibility could be undermined if individuals manipulate it to target people unjustly.
