Judge Joe Brown Threatens To SUE Sheryl Lee Ralph Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Judge Joe Brown may be gearing up to see the courtroom from a very different perspective. Last week, Abbott Elementary actress Sheryl Lee Ralph came forward on the Way Up with Angela Yee podcast, alleging that years ago, “a famous TV judge” sexually assaulted her “in a very public place.” In case you missed it, she recalled of the event: She continued, speaking of her alleged assailant: Related: Tiger Woods Blasts ‘Jilted Ex-Girlfriend’ Over Lawsuit & Sexual Assault ‘Implications’ While the 66-year-old never specifically named who the judge was that assaulted her, she did clarify that it was NOT Greg Mathis, who she called “a great man.” She also claimed the network attempted to silence her for the sake of both her and her assailant’s shows, which were relatively new at the time.

In the days since, rumors have of course swirled as to her the mystery man could be, and now, Judge Joe is chiming in. Last Friday, four days after Sheryl’s interview aired, the 75-year-old took to Twitter to defend himself… Even though the Moesha actress didn’t name him as the assailant.

He wrote in a tweet: Sheryl never mentioned even a specific time frame for when the assault took place, so Joe adding in the “25 yrs ago” part was completely on him… He continued, threatening legal action: We’re not saying anything about whether he’s guilty or not, but to come out swinging SO defensively, and to add in a specific detail when he was never named… Damn!

The TV personality added in a subsequent tweet, seemingly referring to Sheryl’s Pennsylvania state senator husband, Vincent Hughes: See the thread (below): Related: Skier Suing Gwyneth Paltrow Told Daughters ‘I’m Famous’ In Email After Collision Monday, Joe took to the social media app again,
