Judge Joe Brown's Dirty Laundry Finally Revealed

Following the debut of Judge Joe Brown, the show's namesake judge became a reality TV star. But there's been a bunch of real-life drama that has followed him around for years. Clearly, Brown knows how to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Following 15 years on the air, CBS axed Judge Joe Brown in March 2013 due to a salary dispute. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Brown had been earning $20 million a year, but CBS Television Distribution was looking to chop the figure down to match falling viewership ratings. Eventually they pulled the plug altogether, triggering a headline-making meltdown from the reality TV star. Cameras caught a seemingly intoxicated Brown boasting about drinking and slamming his old show. When two women approached him for a photo, the situation got even more uncomfortable with the then-66-year-old telling them, "I need you girls to be my daughters-in-law so you can take care of a man in his old age." Then he decided to up the creepy factor by adding, "An old man can be a bad motherf---er. Oh hell yes. Make an old man feel like a bad motherf---er." He concluded with a piece of wisdom, proclaiming: "Pretty women are insecure. It's easier to deal with pretty women if you know what to do. Now you see my 50-year-old wife? I do not deal with ugly women." Yikes. Kinda seems like he shouldn't be dealing with any women with that attitude.
