In 1997 John Lydon (better known as Johnny Rotten) locked horns with his former drummer Robert Williams on Judge Judy. What a world! The former Sex Pistol was going up against his Public Image Limited drummer, who brought suit against Lydon for being fired without cause (breach of contract), and assault and battery.
During the back and forth, Lydon gets into life on the road with his hired gun drummer, saying, "This whole hotel stuff he's coming up with. You must understand, these are small nightclub gigs, and we're traveling vast journeys on a tour bus, we're not staying overnight in most towns. There's no point in me wasting money on separate individual hotel rooms when I'm perfectly able to share. And I'm apparently the pop star!"
Williams sort of Eddie Haskells it, and Judge Judy seems to favor the more real Lydon... but was it enough? Watch below!
