To watch some of his sermons please click here.Ephriam is most known as Madea’s court judge in the Madea films, where he portrays a tough and stern judge who constantly presides over the many cases Madea finds herself in, all of which are the result of her violent and destructive behavior. Madea is never sentenced to prison; instead, she receives harsh but less severe punishments such as house arrest, becoming a foster mother to a troubled teen (played by Keke Palmer), and attending Doctor Phil’s treatment sessions. Ephriam appeared in the film adaptation of the play Diary of a Mad Black Woman for a brief scene. In both Madea’s Family Reunion and Madea Goes to Jail, she played the same judge character. Like a judge, she pronounces her first name “may-BLENE,” as in Chuck Berry’s song “Maybellene.”Mablean Ephriam whose full name is Mablean Deloris Ephriam, Esq. is a former Los Angeles prosecuting attorney. She is well known for her seven seasons as an adjudicator in the courtroom drama Divorce Court, which aired from 1999 to 2006. In the 2006-07 season of the show, she was replaced by Judge Lynn Toler. Ephriam is also well-known for her roles as a judge in Tyler Perry’s Madea movies.
Ephriam also claimed that she was barred from changing her hairstyle for the duration of the following television season, claiming that the network justified this by claiming that her hairstyles were too time-consuming for their hair and makeup crew. “When will FOX and the rest of America recognize our cultural uniqueness as African Americans and welcome us with all of our diverse haircuts, hair textures, and hair color,” Ephriam said in a news release.

She is well known for her seven seasons as an adjudicator in the courtroom drama Divorce Court, which aired from 1999 to 2006. In the 2006-07 season of the show, she was replaced by Judge Lynn Toler. Ephriam is also well-known for her roles as a judge in Tyler Perry’s Madea movies. Judge Lynn Toler, a former judge from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who presided over the short-lived syndicated courtroom TV show Power of Attorney, was appointed in her place. Toler stated on Bailiff Byrd’s Bonding with Byrd web series that she likes Ephriam, that the two have had cordial contacts, and that she later resigned due to her personal objections to Divorce Court production. Ephriam was named the show’s arbitrator in 1999, when the television courtroom series Divorce Court (the longest program in the court show genre) was revived for the third time for a 17th season. She was the first celebrity to appear on the reality show Divorce Court. The show has previously relied on dramatic reenactments of real-life divorce disputes. She was also the series’ first African-American and female president. From the 1999–00 season until the 2005–06 season, Ephriam presided over Divorce Court for 7 seasons.
Mablean Ephriam Foundation is a charity organization that offers financial empowerment, educates minds and strengthening families. We Have a Dream Television show.Ephriam is 72 years old as of 2021. She was born on April 23, 1949, in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, United States. She celebrates her birthday on 23rd April every year.Despite the fact that she had never served as a judge before presiding over Divorce Court, she brought tremendous legal experience and understanding to the series. She began her legal career as a prison officer with the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Women’s Division. She received her Juris Doctor degree in 1978 after taking night studies at Whittier Law School. Mablean started her own law firm in 1982, focusing on personal injury and family law disputes. She quickly advanced through the ranks of the Los Angeles Prosecuting Attorney’s office.
Ephriam returned to television in the fall of 2014 with a new courtroom drama created by Entertainment Studios. It is Entertainment Studios’ fifth courtroom series, airing in syndication and on the ES Justice Central network. The show is shot in Culver City, California.
Ephriam was known for her wit when sitting over Divorce Court. Ephriam’s distinctive and unusual voice frequently made her audience chuckle, as did their fury and amazement at the ex-extreme couple’s and bizarre behavior. On Divorce Court, Ephriam’s catchphrase was “Look deep before you leap,” advising would-be spouses to closely evaluate each other’s habits and attitudes before deciding to marry. While Ephriam encouraged her litigants to discuss sensitive subjects in order to get to the root of their divorce, she was quick to restore order in her courtroom when things went out of hand, and she admonished her litigants for disrespectful behavior toward her and each other in court. Ephriam would quit Divorce Court at the end of the 2005–06 season (her seventh behind the bench) in March 2006, purportedly because she and the show’s producers couldn’t come to an agreement on a contract extension. She objected to the show’s refusal to raise her compensation, among other things.
She was married to Cassuis Paxton upto 1981 when the two got divorced. However, not much is known about her ex-husband. We will be sure to keep you updated once this information is available to us.Ephriam graduated with honors from Thomas Jefferson High School in South Central Los Angeles. For her undergraduate studies, she was awarded a four-year academic scholarship to Pitzer College in Claremont, California. She took a sabbatical from school after marrying and having four children, working in a variety of occupations before receiving her Juris Doctor degree from Whittier College School of Law in 1978. She was admitted to the California State Bar in November 1978, after passing the State Bar exams for the first time.Ephriam was born in Hazlehurst, Mississippi to Mable Ephriam and Robert T. Ephriam. However, she was raised in Los Angeles, California, from the age of six. She lost her mother in February 2010. She has six siblings; Robert Allen Ephriam, Mae Ephriam Stewart, Lee Ola Wade, Richard Carl Ephriam, Frank Charles Ephriam and Marilyn Walker.Well known as Madea’s court judge, Ephriam portrays a strict and stern judge character in Madea films, who frequently presides over the many cases Madea lands herself into, always as result of violent and destructive conduct. The judge never sentences Madea to prison, instead she gives Madea unflattering though less severe punishments such as house arrest, becoming foster mother to a wayward teen (played by Keke Palmer) and going to therapy sessions with Doctor Phil.
… I would love to get some more money to do what I really want to do, but just putting on this brunch for the fathers and allowing them to have a really wonderful Fathers Day, to share in the joy of good music and good food and good entertainment and being out with family, and all of us making a fuss over them, which doesn’t happen for most of the fathers … That gives me great pleasure and great joy. It is also a joy to be able to award scholarships at The H.U.F Awards. I am just so excited about the scholarship recipients! There is the press that we’re not going to college–we are going to college. The young people who applied ranged in GPAs from 1.5 to 5 points. We want to encourage all of them to go to college and pursue their dreams.
Ephriam’s trademark phrase on Divorce Court was “Look deep before you leap,” advising would-be newlyweds to examine each other’s behaviors and attitudes carefully before they decide to marry. While Ephriam encouraged her litigants to discuss sensitive issues to get to the heart of what was causing their divorce, she was quick to restore order in her courtroom when things got out of hand, and she scolded her litigants for disrespectful behavior towards herself and each other in court.In March 2006, it was announced that Ephriam would leave Divorce Court at the end of the 2005–06 season (her seventh behind the bench), reportedly because she and the show’s producers were unable to come to an agreement on a contract extension. Among other things, Ephriam took objection to the show’s refusal to increase her salary. As an additional dimension of the contract discord, Ephriam alleged that she was forbade from altering her hairstyle for the entirety of that following television season, that the network reasoned that her hairstyles were too time-consuming for their hair and makeup team. In a press release statement over the matters, Ephriam stated, “When will FOX and the rest of America accept our cultural differences as African Americans and embrace us with all of our different hairstyles, hair textures, hair color.” She was replaced by Judge Lynn Toler, a former judge from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who formerly presided over the short-lived syndicated courtroom TV show Power of Attorney. On Bailiff Byrd’s Bonding with Byrd web series, Toler shared that she is fond of Ephriam, that the two have had pleasant interactions, and that she later had her own objections to Divorce Court production leading to her resignation.
While presiding over Divorce Court, Ephriam was noted for her humor. Her audience was frequently brought to laughter by Ephriam’s striking and quirky voice and reactions of appall and bewilderment by the ex-couple’s outrageous and absurd behaviors.
Mablean Deloris Ephriam, Esq. (born April 23, 1949) is a former Los Angeles prosecuting attorney. She is best known as the adjudicator of the courtroom series Divorce Court for seven seasons from 1999–2006. She was replaced by Judge Lynn Toler in the show’s 2006-07 season. Ephriam is also known for her judge roles in Tyler Perry’s Madea films. Ephriam also appeared on the first season of Celebrity Fit Club where she went from 208 lbs to 183, losing 25 lbs, 12% of her body weight. Ephriam revealed to VH1 that she has kept off all of the weight. She added that her weight goes up and down, but she never exceeds 183. Ephriam made a short appearance in the film adaptation of the play Diary of a Mad Black Woman. She also portrayed the same judge character in both Madea’s Family Reunion and Madea Goes to Jail. As a judge, her first name is pronounced “may-BLENE,” as in the Chuck Berry song “Maybellene.”
In the fall of 2014, Ephriam returned to TV with a new court room series, produced by Entertainment Studios. Airing in syndication and ES’s Justice Central network, it is the fifth courtroom series from Entertainment Studios. Episodes are filmed in Culver City, CA.
Ephriam hosted an annual event on Father’s Day called The H.U.F. Awards, where she leads a star-studded community celebration of otherwise unsung fathers. In June 2010, Ephriam expressed joy and appreciation for the event on The Jazz Joy and Roy syndicated radio show.
In 1999, the television courtroom series Divorce Court was revived a third time for a 17th season, and Ephriam was named the show’s arbitrator. She was the first star of the reality-based version of Divorce Court. Previous to that, the show used dramatic reenactments of real-life divorce cases. She was also the first African American and female to preside over the series (the three judges that have followed her also African American females). Ephriam presided over Divorce Court for 7 seasons, from the 1999–00 season through the 2005–06 season.
Ephriam returned to television in fall 2014 with a new courtroom series titled after her, Justice with Judge Mablean. The series, produced by Entertainment Studios, is airing on the Justice Central cable channel and syndicated on various stations. It is the fifth courtroom series from Entertainment Studios. Her daughter is writer/director/producer Tajamika Paxton.
“To have our work acknowledged in the same season is an honor. Even if we’re not the first mother/daughter team, we for sure have to be the most delighted,” she said.
Paxton, who currently serves as Vice President of Documentaries for the Logo TV network, has been nominated twice before but has never taken home an award.
“I thought about the history of African-American women being honored in Hollywood and we now join that small outstanding group of women. The nomination had even greater meaning. We are a first. We are making history. We are trailblazers. We bring hope to women, to young women, to senior women, to African-American women.”“Our nomination is happening during an important time in history for women. Two women in the television industry, of different ages; two different generations, being recognized and nominated for a Daytime Emmy award,” she said.
Ephriam’s show, Justice with Judge Mablean, received her first nomination for Best Legal/Courtroom Program, while her daughter scored a nod in the Best Special Class Special category for the film Kevyn Aucoin: Beauty & The Beast in Me.
“My mother has been the benchmark for excellence my entire life,” Paxton said. “She’s my champion. She encourages my dreams and her support makes them feel possible. She always says I challenge her and it gets on her nerves. Secretly, I think she likes that I can match her, grit for grit.”Judge Mablean Ephriam and her daughter Tajamika “Taj” Paxton recently etched their names in the history books after they were nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award at the same time.
However, the Domestic Violence Prosecution Unit would not dismiss a case just because the victim did not want to prosecute. This policy was intended to protect police officers as well as domestic violence victims, Ephriam told the Los Angeles Times. “More police were injured in response to domestic violence calls than anything else, and you put them in a precarious position when you do that,” she was quoted as saying. “Also, when you don’t follow through, it says to the perpetrator, ’You can do this again.’”As the judge on the number one-rated new television show Divorce Court, Mablean Ephriam, is by turns tough, compassionate, and very funny. It would certainly require a sense of humor to deal with the divorcing couples on her show, who scream, cry, swear, insult each other, and reveal the most intimate secrets of their failed marriages—all while the cameras are rolling.
“I imagine the divorce court process on television is cathartic,” Ephriam told the Los Angeles Times. “When you’re in (regular) divorce court, rarely do the litigants speak. Most of the courts these days don’t really care about the reasons why you’re divorcing—the underlying infidelity, the financial problems, the difficulty in raising children. So you really don’t get an opportunity to get rid of the pent-up frustration and anger and pain. This is a forum that allows them to do that.”
Information about Ephriam’s early life is scarce; unlike the couples on her show, she is very protective of her privacy, and in interviews has spoken primarily about her professional accomplishments.Though not an actual judge, Ephriam is an attorney with more than 20 years of courtroom experience. “I don’t think they could have picked a better person,” U.S. Representative Maxine Waters, who has worked with Ephriam, told the Los Angeles Times. “Not only is she a very competent attorney, I know her to be warm, engaging and no-nonsense,” she added. After practicing law for more than 20 years, Ephriam heard that Twentieth Television was looking for a judge for a new version of Divorce Court. She had never planned on a career in television, but decided to give it a try. “I’m 50,” she was quoted as saying in the Los Angeles Times in 1999. “Why not change going into my second part of the century by doing something new and different?” After passing the bar, Ephriam spent five years as a deputy city attorney in Los Angeles. During this time, she helped found the Domestic Violence Prosecution Unit of the Los Angeles city attorney’s office. “At the time, society was turning its back on domestic violence and pretending it didn’t exist,” Ephriam told the Los Angeles Times. “And when we filed a criminal case, the female victim would usually say, ’l don’t want to testify,’” she continued.While a major part of the appeal of “Divorce Court” is taking pleasure in the suffering of others, Ephriam hopes that viewers will learn a lesson from these real-life marital conflicts. “One advantage of the show, for those who are married and going through some difficulty, is that they may see themselves,” she told David Crary of the Associated Press. “When you hear it from somebody else, you think, ’Do I say that? Is that what I sound like?’ People who are thinking of marriage might rethink constructively,” she continued.While Divorce Court has been an unqualified success, Ephriam has encountered controversy in other aspects of her life. In August of 2000, she was hit with a malpractice suit. A former client claimed that Ephriam failed to present relevant evidence in a child custody case, and did not inform the client of a court hearing.Ephriam has said that as a child, she wanted to become a lawyer, but these ambitions were put on hold as she got married and raised four children. Her first law-related job was actually in law enforcement: she was a correctional officer at the Women’s Division of the
During her legal career, Ephriam served as the president of Los Angeles’ Black Women Lawyers group, and as a member of the Executive Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar and State Bar of California Family Law Sections. She also received several awards for her contributions to the community. In 1993, the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles gave Ephriam a Distinguished Service Award for co-founding the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law. Two years later, she received the California Woman of the Year Award from the State Assembly’s 48th District. In 1997, Whittier College of Law, Ephriam’s alma mater, named her Alumnus of the Year.
In yet another case, a wife and her cross-dressing husband were fighting over a woman’s mink coat. Ephriam decreed that they should each try the coat on, and she would award it to the one who looked better. The winner turned out to be the man. “When you hear the stories, you have trouble holding back the laughter or the tears or the anger,” Ephriam told David Crary of the Associated Press. “Some of the stuff is just utterly ridiculous.”Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates.

While Ephriam is not an actual judge, she has filled in for judges in Los Angeles superior and municipal courts. She has also served as hearing examiner for the Los Angeles civil service commission. “I’ve sat as a mediator, and I’ve decided a lot of cases,” she told John Kiesewetter of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Judging is simply making decisions based upon the facts and the evidence presented to you, and coming to some logical conclusions based upon some law and fact. And that’s what I’ll be doing—judging. I don’t necessarily have the title of ’judge’ in order to enable me to do that.”Like the litigants on Divorce Court, Ephriam herself is divorced—but she could never imagine airing her grievances on television, she told Kiesewetter. “I had a very amiable divorce. My ex-husband and I were able to sit down and decide what we were going to do. I’m quite private in my dealings.”
In 1982 Ephriam started her own law firm, specializing in family law, personal injury, and criminal law. Also in 1982, she co-founded a legal resource center in Los Angeles for women coping with domestic violence. The Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law, set up to compensate for legal aid cutbacks, now has 80 volunteer attorneys who assist 1,000 women every year. “She has a basic sense of justice and a way of seeing the truth of the matter that many lawyers do not have,” the center’s executive director, Betty Nordwind, told the Los Angeles Times in 1999.
In one case, a couple was arguing over the ownership of a Beanie Babies collection. In another, the plaintiff was seeking not child support, but monkey support—money for food, diapers, and medicine for a pet monkey. In disbelief, Ephriam turned to the bailiff and asked, “They jivin’ me, right?”, prompting C. Ray Hall of the (Louisville, Kentucky) Courier-Journal to observe, “This may be the only recorded use of the word ’jivin” by a judge whose name ends in ’esquire.’”While guests on many daytime talk shows are coached to say outrageous things, the litigants on Divorce Court are not—partly because it isn’t necessary. “In my practice, I tend to say in the divorce situation: You have the most intelligent, and the most upstanding people, becoming the most stupid people when they’re going through divorce, because they forget all about reason, they forget about logic,” Ephriam told Kiesewetter.

Divorce Court was not a new concept; in fact, the original version ran from 1957 to 1969, and a revival of the show ran from 1986 to 1991. Both of the early versions of the show featured actors working from a script; the fifties version provided work for such young, unknown actors as Alan Alda and Jack Nicholson. The new Divorce Court, however, would feature actual married couples, who were in the process of divorcing, preparing to file for divorce, or legally separated. Ephriam would not dissolve the marriage, but would rule on one aspect of the case, usually a property dispute. Both parties, who would be paid an appearance fee of $500 each, were required to sign a binding arbitration agreement making Ephriam’s TV ruling final.

The new version of Divorce Court aired in 1999. Despite the competition from similar programs, the show became an immediate hit with viewers. “In a crowded field of court shows, Divorce Court has done well for a newcomer, trailing only Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown in the latest ratings of the genre,” David Crary wrote in an Associated Press wire story in early 2000. By the fall of that year, the show was rated number one among new syndicated shows.
And despite the number of failed marriages Ephriam sees, she remains a strong believer in marriage, she told the Los Angeles Times. “I think it’s wonderful. And I hope to do it again sometime soon. I’m not jaded,” she was quoted as saying. “When you’re married, you have a partner, a friend, someone to talk to, to laugh with, to share your joys, your disappointments, your fears, your successes, all of that,” she concluded.
The role of judge may have been completely new, but Ephriam rose to the challenge: in fact, of the 100 prospective judges, she was the only one to get her audition right on the first try. This audition, as well as her substantial legal experience, won Ephriam the job. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Pitzer College in Claremont, California, Ephriam decided to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. Supporting herself and her family by working as a legal secretary, she attended the Whittier College of Law at night. She earned her law degree from Whittier in 1978.

Ryan Seacrest was born in Atlanta, Georgia in December 24th, 1974. He\u00b4s a radio host as well as a television host and producer. He has his own production company named \”Ryan Seacrest Productions\”. Ryan started his radio career at the early age of 15 while working on a radio station in Atlanta called \”WSTR\” and he made his first appearance on TV hosting \”Radical Outdoor Challenge\”. Seacrest got his biggest role on TV in 2002 when he accepted to be Co-host with Brian Dunkleman in \”American Idol\” and in 2003 he was the only host\u00a0since Dunkleman left the show. American Idol has been since its beginning a huge success and has put Ryan Seacrest in a national and international spotlight.\u00a0 Seacrest studied journalism at the University of Georgia in the fall of 1992. There, he would continue his radio show at a local Athens station. Seacrest left UGA at age 19 and moved to Hollywood to continue his broadcasting career. While there, he attended Santa Monica City College for a short time. By the time he was 20, he had landed a job in Los Angeles at KYSR-FM 98.7’s afternoon show, called Ryan Seacrest for the Ride Home. His starting pay was $15 an hour. It became the station’s No. 1 show and was nationally syndicated. In January 2004, Seacrest became the new host of the radio program American Top 40, a syndicated weekly countdown show, created and formerly hosted by Casey Kasem. The show was syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks. In February 2004, Seacrest became host of popular Los Angeles radio station KIIS’s morning show, replacing long-time host Rick Dees. This show, also known as On Air With Ryan Seacrest, remains on the air. Seacrest is the host, executive producer of this syndicated daily show airing on over 150 stations in North America alone, with affiliates worldwide. Kasem had been one of Seacrest’s radio idols when he was growing up, along with Dick Clark. Seacrest asked Clark for some career advice, and Clark told him, \”I believe a stake in ownership is important to have,\” and so Seacrest negotiated a piece of the ownership for the televised ‘On Air’\”. Seacrest stated, \”So maybe in 20 years it will still be called ‘On Air’, with someone else hosting the show, but I can still produce it. Because, let’s be honest, you don’t know how long people are going to let you into their homes.\”
The former TV judge said there was another issue — she did not want to tape as many as eight cases a day because \”divorce is a very emotional issue.\” She was also upset that FOX would no longer pay for the show’s holiday luncheon .Mablean adds that she wore a wig last season after losing a substantial amount of hair because of a chemical process gone bad. She feels that FOX wanted her to continue wearing a wig to save time in taping the show.
The former TV judge said there was another issue — she did not want to tape as many as eight cases a day because “divorce is a very emotional issue.” She was also upset that FOX would no longer pay for the show’s holiday luncheon .
Finally, Mablean suggests FOX went after her personal assistant Princess and her daughter Darlene Allen (who ran the wardrobe department) by also firing them.Mablean rhetorically asks why he hair was suddenly an issue: \”Because of my ethnicity – African American, Black, Negro, whatever term you prefer to use.\”‘
Mablean’s statement veers away from salary and onto hairier issues. She says “the most unacceptable demand to me was when FOX said, ‘There will be no changes in the current hairstyle to avoid time consuming issues regarding her hair.” She believes FOX’s position could violate Federal law, calling it “a racial and ethnic issue.”FOX gave Mablean the boot after seven years because they say Mablean was asking for a lot more money than the network was willing to shell out. TMZ is told two million a year was not enough for Mablean, so FOX said farewell.Singer\/songwriter Jason Derulo was born Jason Desrouleaux on September 21, 1989 in Miami, FL.

Born in California, Tom Hanks grew up in what he calls a \”fractured\” family. His parents were pioneers in the development of marriage dissolution law in that state, and Tom moved around a lot, living with a succession of step-families.
