Tell it to a judge

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/26/2000 7:00:00 PM

Peter Brennan, executive producer for Judge Judy, is suing the show's distributor Paramount, its producer Big Ticket and their umbrella company Viacom, the lawsuit claiming that, "acting in a common conspiracy,.these entertainment companies are scheming.to cheat Brennan." According to his contract, he pockets 12.5% of the defined revenues from Judge Judy. He alleges that the defendants are "refusing to disclose information necessary to determine his rightful compensation," thereby low-balling the sum Judge Judy generates. Representatives of Paramount and Judge Judy declined to comment.
