The ‘morally bankrupt’ star’s now a TV judge settling cases.
Jerry SpringerOpens a New Window.’s long-running talk show was phonied-up — and the married creep used it to get young hotties into his bed!
That’s the claim of two former producersOpens a New Window. on The Jerry Springer Show — who also said there’s no way the 75-year-old should be hearing cases as “Judge Jerry.”
“Jerry Springer is morally bankrupt. Producing his show in the late ’90s was only a small part of our job,” a former staffer told RadarOnline.comOpens a New Window.. “Our real job was to get pretty girls, strippers and porn stars for Jerry to sleep with.”
“Besides that, most of the guests were fake,” continued the ex-staffer. “The people making the show knew it — and didn’t care.”
From 1991 to 2018, The Jerry Springer Show was one of TV’s most outrageous — featuring families coming to blows over paternity issues, sexual affairs and other spectacular claims.
Springer’s new seriesOpens a New Window., Judge Jerry, is billed as a show with real people settling real cases.
“For the first time in my life, I am going to be called honorable,” Springer boasted.
But his behavior has been less than honorable for decades. As a city councilman in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was busted for writing checks to prostitutes in 1974 — a year after marrying wife Micki Velton.
Despite the scandal, the couple stayed together and had a daughter in 1976.
They separated in 1990 and filed for divorce, but it’s reportedly never been finalized — and in 1998 Jerry was caught on videotapeOpens a New Window. in a hotel room with a porn star and her stepmother.
Springer, who didn’t respond to a request for comment, blamed his antics at the time on a sex drug, insisting: “That damn Viagra made me lose my mind. It turned me into a sex addict.”
Radar’s source said: “Jerry has abused his power and celebrity for years to take advantage of people. Is that the sort of person you want to stand in front of in a TV courtroom?”
