Did Judge Judy have a stroke?

Judge Judy had once given a big scare on live television when she suffered a mini-stroke. Luckily for her, the crew she had worked with over the years had noticed how she started asking questions in slow motions and quickly called in the paramedics which came to the rescue.

Judge Judy is perfectly fine now and she didn’t appear to suffer any permanent or major damage, though she thinks she had a transient ischemic attack (TIA).

With the mini-stroke, everyone had thought that she might as well retire from television, but she is still going out strong in the show.
