And it appears Justin caught wind of it, as he became terrified of her and used to pay the front desk in their neighbourhood to let him know when it was safe for him to leave the house. Now, speaking to Access Hollywood, Judy has laughed about the incident, admitting: 'He's scared to death of me.' 'There was a period of time before he grew up, when he was foolish, and doing foolish things.'
