COLDHEARTED Judge Judy Sheindlin blindsided TV bailiff Petri Hawkins-Byrd after 25 years of devoted service by freezing him out of her new streaming show, Judy Justice — without even a courtesy phone call.

Now, in a world exclusive interview, 63-year-old Byrd tells GLOBE penny-pinching Judy, who rakes in a whopping $47 million a year as one of the highest paid stars on TV and is worth a mind-blowing $440 million, had the nerve to tell him he made too much money for the new gig.
