Why was Judge Mathis sued by a city worker? Find out

According to a lawsuit reported by TMZ, Judge Greg Mathis is facing serious allegations from a city worker that occurred when a dump truck blocked the TV personality’s path, which followed a heated confrontation.

In documents obtained by the publication, a person named Ricardo Acosta claimed that in July 2023, he was doing his job with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and working outside the judge’s home when he allegedly began verbally abusing him.

The city employee alleged that the TV personality retrieved his vehicle from his garage, then got out and began yelling at the plaintiff, “Move the damn truck out of the way.”

Acosta claimed that the judge was standing behind the truck at the time and that the city worker told Mathis to move out of there for safety reasons, fearing that putting the truck into gear would likely back it up while it was parked on an incline.

The city worker claimed the TV judge told him not to “give in” and run him over and see what happened to him. Acosta then claims Mathis told him he had something for him, then went to his house and came back with a gun.

Acosta claimed in the filing that Mathis brandished the gun and said he was “going to break a hat… you want to fuck with me.” The plaintiff further mentioned that the TV personality sat in his car and then drove off without it to threaten once again to “explode a ceiling”.

The city worker is reportedly suing him for intentional infliction of emotional distress and bodily harm and is seeking damages from the Mathis.

Last year in July, TMZ published a report in which sources revealed that an LADWP employee had complained to police, accusing Mathis of threatening to use a gun after a heated argument at work.
