Love the show a lot, but....

I just read about Judge Judy that she divorced her husband Jerry (2nd husband) for a year, and then remarried him. She had children with both husbands. For someone who rips into immature people and preaches responsibility and doing the right thing, doesn't her past actions somewhat place her in the category of the "idiots" she gets so annoyed at in her courtroom? Don't get me wrong, I think she's great. Actually, I love her show and she is way better than Judge Joe Brown and others. I do not think bad of her for her marriage thing. Everyone makes mistakes. But she should tone down a little sometimes on these litigants, most deserve it, but at times I feel it is uncalled for. I have seen her criticize young parents who, for example, may have children and not be married, or perhaps have multiple children with different fathers. But what does getting divorced and remarried in a year show a child about commitment and marriage? I hope this show continues for a long time, it's so entertaining!
