Marilyn Milian, the a no-nonsense judge who spent 22 seasons on syndicated favorite “The People’s Court,” guest stars on Tuesday night’s episode of “Lopez vs. Lopez” as Judge Justicia of “Corte Caliente.”
In this exclusive clip, George Lopez (who plays himself on the series) and his ex-wife Rosie (Selenis Leyva) end up in her TV forum after she refuses to return his engagement ring. Both play up their side of the case for the cameras.
George reluctantly follows the script to say he’s seeking “breast-itution” from Rosie, after she put the contested ring in her bra. Meanwhile, Rosie puts on a show of dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief, then calmly says she can film the emotional outburst again if need be.
