Judge Lynn Toler first joined “Divorce Court” in 2006, and stayed on for 13 years until her departure in 2020. Since leaving the show, her life has changed in some drastic ways.

In January 2023, Toler’s husband, Eric “Big E” Mumford, passed away at 71. “I’m in a million pieces,” she wrote in a caption under a photo she’d posted of the two together.

In August, Toler revealed on the “Hardly Initiated” podcast that she’d met her husband on the morning of his death, shortly before getting notified of his passing.

Despite the devastation, Toler has also had some exciting moments. In April 2023, ALLBLK, a brand of the AMC network, revealed that they were creating a series based on her life.

The scripted show, where Toler will also serve as an executive producer, will follow “Judge Toler’s incredible journey,” explains Brett Dismuke, general manager of ALLBLK and WE TV.
