OK, we’re almost–emphasis on the word “almost”–starting to feel sorry for Judy Tucker, the elderly white woman who was caught on camera assaulting two African-American female soldiers at a family restaurant last weekend.
In the video, Tucker and her homophobic son, Robbie, can be seen screaming at the servicewomen inside a Cheddar’s restaurant in Macon, Georgia, calling them “gay black bitches” and slapping one of them, who happens to be pregnant, across the face.
Now, in addition to being arrested, banned from the restaurant where the attack happened, fired from her teaching job at Mercer University, and nicknamed “Thug Granny” by several media outlets, Tucker has purportedly been forced to close her small business.
72-year-old Tucker is, er, was the proud owner of Judy Tucker’s Complete Art Restoration. Since the appalling video surfaced, however, she has shut down her website and evidently closed up shop.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

If you try visiting completeartrestoration.com, you are now greeted with the following 404 message:
But it doesn’t stop there.
An unofficial Facebook page for “Tucker’s Judy Complete Art Restoration”, listing the business as a sewer service and waste management company, has been created and drawn nearly 15,000 negative public ratings.
Also, an unclaimed Yelp page for “Tucker Judy’s complete art restoration” has also been hijacked with photos of Tucker’s arrest, mugshot, and police record:
And, of course, loads of negative reviews:
Things actually got so out of control that Yelp had to step in and is now doing an “active cleanup” on the page:
Since becoming Internet Enemy #1, Tucker has been laying low. She hasn’t released any statements or made any media appearances, though we’re sure it’s only a matter of time before the Tucker fam hit the Fox News circuit or do a sit-down with Megyn Kelly.

Ha. Best way to fight bigotry. Hit him where it hurts.

In this day and age of sensationalism I’m actually very glad to see the media finally showing that actions do have consequences.
scotshot
They already do that.
Ever hear of Parkland Fl. and others?
DCguy
Bigotry is getting expensive.
CanadianGuy62
No sympathy. Actions have consequences. Reprehensible actions have dire consequences.
ryantbo
There is NOTHING that would make me feel sorry for this piece of white trash!
ddl
Karma! Bottom line, even though they’re US military, you don’t treat PEOPLE like that . . . civilians AND military! Apparently the (rotten) apple fell off the same diseased tree!
jkb
How she thought attacking soldiers in uniform would turn out well for is incomprehensible
tjr101
She thought that since they’re black she could get away with it.
Roan
I see no problems with her consequences.
Geeker
What about her son, has he faced any consequences?
windwitch
I was thinking the same thing…He actually went after (don’t know if he made contact) the pregnant young lady.He should also be charged! I can find absolutely 0 sympathy for that evil woman or her disgusting pig of son. They are now living in the environment they themselves created!
rockland2u
i was actually pleasantly surprised when what sounded like the entire restaurant was like “whooaaa-whoaoaa hey” when the enormous son stepped in to the fray to join his mom in assaulting these women. it appears even the general public has a line in the sand for such vile behavior. that old lady is definetly the face of racism.
batesmotel
Yeah they don’t mention anything about the son. Hopefully they’ll both be massively charged. Her business has already been hit. And this is a 72 year old woman who should’ve grown up by now. Simpleton.
Mark
Could not be more pleased how this has turned out for the Tucker’s! This kind of unprovoked hatred has consequences!
RnDC
The sooner these people die off the world will be a better place. Unfortunately, the new, more hateful GOP is breeding more.
Onecaddy13
Talking about racist comments. Not all of the new and upcoming GOP establishment are this way. I am of your “new and more, but nor hateful GOP and I certainly don’t act this way. So your comment offends me. You just used a wide brush to offend many people and it is of my opinion that your a bit racist. You just put yourself in their category of bigotry and hatred. Have a great life.
LABrad
Did I miss something? This 54 second video is the only video I could find.
Nothing even happened. I didn’t see her hit anyone and I didn’t hear anything racial or homophobic.
Plus we didn’t even see what led up to this. I don’t get it.
spacecadet
Just because you didn’t see it in the video didn’t mean it didn’t occur. It’s called witnesses and a police report. Why else would that lady be hauled off to jail?
Roan
I googled her name and found several videos and reports on mainstream media sources. It’s wasn’t like, hard or anything.
ErinNicole
In the video she says something about a parking spot..which is no reason to yell and get up in their faces either..but the article says she yelled racist n homophobic and i dont see that eithrr..but old bitch did over react to a parking space thats for sure..they served let them have it. Also if u have 2 tell people your pregnant thats a little embaressing ha
batesmotel
Other patrons filmed additional parts of the attacks. The police watched those on their phones to determine she was in the wrong. Naturally the business camera at that facility was down that day. Thank God for cell phones in this case.
shannestad
Has nothing happened to the son, I think he is just as guilty.
galaxy8.news
It should be the haters’ handbook so that they’ realize there are elements to their crimes against others. For instance; an “ASSAULT” does not require the physical contact to that of their victim. Assault is any verbal or physical movement suggesting insult or injury, or threat to another. It can contain a verbal threat, a hate-filled spewing of words or threatening body moves without the subject actually touching the person(s) they’re directing the message. “BATTERY” is the actual physical contact, no matter how slight, the intent is reinforced by the actions of the offender usually through the next seconds before the battery takes place, and may continue after the actual touching, pushing, hitting or another physical contact (spitting, etc.) has occurred.
This is important for everyone to understand. You can be subjected to an “ASSAULT” without physical contact. There may be variances to the exact elements prescribed by local city or county criminal ordinances, and some variances between states. However, the general concepts of an assault are understandable for anyone with common decency to know not to cross.
So it interests us too, as to what the son’s involvement in the matter is and why there are no charges against him.
Emotions are a person’s worst tool to turn to when debating, fighting or decision making. Primarily, when you’re on the wrong side of history and find that being the ass of the year is causing you to lose a popularity contest with only one participant.
scotshot
Add the fact that even though he wasn’t charged, charges can be brought later.
tjr101
I’m loving it. It’s time to fight back and let these bigots know there are consequences.
Trekbike
@tjr101 I’ve been saying this forever!! We gays need to be done with the “LOVE IN” and start fighting back against discrimination and hatred, eye for an eye!! Crimes against GLBTQ people is increasing quickly with Donald Trump, and his cronies, perpetuating more and more discrimination and hate. If we don’t stop it now we will be murdered sooner rather than later. I refuse to go quietly to my grave from hateful bigots and preachers. Some of the worst anti-gay preachers are holding bible studies (in Sonny Perdue’s senate office) for Trump’s cabinet members thanks to radical anti-gay Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo. Trump’s planned theocracy is totally in violation of the U.S, constitution. LETS KEEP FIGHTING!

@Trekbike
“Crimes against GLBTQ people is increasing quickly with Donald Trump, and his cronies, perpetuating more and more discrimination and hate”
You are aware that Judy Tucker is a registered Democrat, right?
I mean, she lives in an area where Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won. She’s a former art teacher at a liberal college and she’s disparaging army personnel. Doesn’t sound like an average Trump voter to me
To somehow tie back the actions of this crazy woman to Trump is performing mental gymnastics and shifts focus away from this lady
batesmotel
Trekbike – She’s a registered Democrat who has no interest in Trump, so nice try. I know that’s the not thought out point of view to automatically assume and stereotype that it must be a Trump fan, when nine times out of ten, it’s actually not. And these hate crimes, homophobic and/or racist attacks have been going on for eons. Long before this Presidency and long after this Presidency.
scotshot
mhoffman953 & bates motel:
Just because a person registers Democrat doesn’t mean they can’t cross over and vote for Trumpf. Many, many Dems did vote for Trumpf.
Whatever. A racist is a racist no matter what. It seems though that the people committing hate crimes now are all republican.
The number of hate crimes have markedly increased since Obama’s Presidency. Under Trumpf people free free to commit these crimes.
Nice Try Troll. Don’t say things that are easily fact checked.
mhoffman953
@scotshot
“Many, many Dems did vote for Trumpf.”
According to New York Times exit polls, 9% of all Democrats voted for Donald Trump. That’s far from “many, many”
“It seems though that the people committing hate crimes now are all republican.”
I don’t know. Judy Tucker was a registered Democrat before and after the 2016 election with her most recent voter registration being in April 2017 as a Democrat. All of the major incidents of alleged racial bigotry lately were this case with Judy Tucker (a Democrat) and Starbucks kicking out 2 black men and calling the police on them. Starbucks considers itself a very liberal and left leaning organization given the fact that their CEO is also a Democrat and was going to be Hillary Clinton’s Secretary of Labor had she won.
Not seeing any Republicans in those two major news stories that are making international news. Sounds like you’re just looking to blame the other group instead of blaming the individual.

So weird you keep trying to push this “she’s a registered democrat” bullshit when it was already proven in the last article you posted in (also about this situation) that you were in fact sourcing a poorly faked/doctored webpage. (the one you totally couldn’t post, I’m so sure :D)

I’m just sticking to facts and making sure everyone else sticks to facts. Nothing about her MyLife profile was “poorly faked/doctored webpage”, if so please point out what was. If you dispute the fact that she’s a registered Democrat, then look up the voter registration yourself for Georgia online and show us where she’s a Republican.
“9% of the current population in the US (which is estimated at around 322,762,018) is about 29048581.62. I’m not so sure how you are with numbers, but that’s a lot of people, bub.”
Um…where do I begin? LOL.
It was 9% of REGISTERED DEMOCRATS (who actually voted)!
NOT 9% OF THE US POPULATION.
You do know how elections work, right ma’am? So I’m not sure how are with numbers, but it’s clear you don’t understand sample size.
In the US, only registered voters can vote. The entire current US population of over 300 million people, which includes babies, felons, and other people not eligible to vote, does not vote in its entirety in an election. Plus people stay home and don’t vote who are registered

How can she make amends? I’m starting to feel bad for her — I understand that she’s in the wrong and did terrible things, but just as with someone who has “done their time” in prison is constantly considered unrehabilitated by society, this poor woman needs a way to apologize and pledge to be a better citizen. Seriously, if she were to kill herself, wouldn’t we feel badly?
An eye for an eye makes the world blind. Let’s help her recover from this and teach her that GLBTQ people are not what she thinks we are!
tjr101
She’s 72 years old, I seriously doubt this is the first time she’s acted this way. This is only the first one on video.
ErinNicole
I sdidnt hear anything homophobic..i thonk shes just an old bitch..not much you can do there for her
Ttrotski
I agree, it’s a sad state to be in when the urge is to celebrate their comeuppance, instead of reaching out to heal. Yes, her actions were vile, but I’ve seen far worse from our community in terms of racism, ageism, metropolitanism, etc… Empathy, folks, not selfrighteous indignation.
ryoki18
The reality is people of this ilk seldom change. Also, people of “a certain age” hardly EVER change. Combine that with the entrenched bigotry in the deep south all this arrest and public hazing has done will have been to cement her opinions and given her fuel to a bonfire of “I am being persecuted because I am white, hetero, etc”
But I have to admit that while I was glad she was arrested and I am also glad she is being publically called to task when I went to her facebook page for her business I was ticked off that people were using this platform to call her out for her bigoted actions. It (and the Yelp site) are for business reviews. Now, if someone used her professionally and found her conduct to be base and bigoted (or slyly winking at these attitudes: Go ahead! That would be unprofessional of this woman and a right place to create a response.
The bashing of her personally by people who had not used her business is tacky. Now: If someone wants to make blogs or videos about her actions: that would be the place.
As for halting the attack: It sort of does feel like punching down at this point. But I really have no desire to call the fire department as her house is burning when she had the matches and the kerosene. I don’t know. I guess that I think elderly people are supposed to be wiser than this.
chris33133
Being slightly younger than this woman, I can tell you that — back when we were in school — we were taught how to make amends:
(a) start by owning what you did and by sincerely apologizing to the person your wronged (remember the times we had to apologize to a family member for stealing something?);
(b) do something to compensate the wrong party for the wrong you did (do some chores, work in the yard, or help with something).
It seems to me that this woman could try to do what she must have learned while in primary school by apologizing to the gay soldiers and then by doing some community service, say at some gay service-men’s social services agency. That would make amends of sorts.
scotshot
The woman has been a racist all her life.
Do you think Trumpf will suddenly come to his senses? Of course not.
The woman deserves the ridicule that’s poured down on her. There are people who applaud her action.
Thankfully people are waking up and reacting to the hate we’ve been subjected to. It’s been a long time since this has happened on such a level.
Dymension
Not sorry for her one bit.

No one needs to tolerate racism, homophobia, etc. When one is attacked the person can be like Gandhi or fight back. All people have the right to self-defense regardless of the age or gender or physical condition of the attacker.

She deserves EVERYTHING she gets…and her looser son too. I’m glad the media is exposing her. White trash.

Poor pathetic old white trash. She and her redneck son deserve everything that comes their way.
rockland2u
i wish i could but i just don’t feel any sympathy or forgiveness for her, she had a mental meltdown, that resulted in behavior that was completely uncalled for and was intentionally trying to verbally and physically harm her as much as she could. she should be held accountable, what is ever to change if we passively approve it by inaction. she expects kindness and compassion for her while only spewing hate and violence to others
lambchopp59
This represents only a branch of the deplorable’s desires. I’ve experienced their racist, homophobic, islamaphobic… you name it and there’s a deplorable out there who feels empowered to bash someone different, create an “other” to blame all their problems on without the slightest notion that introspection into the choices they’ve made (especially voting for greedy REPUBLICANS) are far more likely to be the source of their: unemployment perhaps? A perceived loss of status, perhaps even losing their homes in the great Bushie crash, or even just plain childish unwillingness to share… anything.
Ronnie RayGun campaigned and rallied the older boomers convincing them these greedy policies would bring back the 1950’s white supremacist prosperity.
What bothers me most is the notion that very few I’ve ever met believe in any sort of distributive plan that could result in prosperity for everyone regardless of race, gender, orientation, etc. No. Just plain racist hatemongering, and worst of all: justifying it all in the name of Jeezus.
Of course if Jeezus himself, who was middle eastern lineage were to show up at their doorstep asking to break bread with them… would be the ultimate revelation of what hypocrites they are.
The only cousin in my extended family is the only other gay person I know of, I can’t credit this person with having any great intellectual insight, he is unable to recognize how he votes and works against his own interests and tunes into the worst of FOX noise every evening for his dose of sheer irony.
We are at civil war all over again. Another that is pitting brother against brother. Their illusions must be ripped from them, the deplorables must be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21’st century, sooner or later many may realize that the 1950’s world will never return and we will not stand silently by and watch them drag us into turmoil despite what Sean Hannity keeps mesmerizing them into.
mhoffman953
That’s odd. My comment was deleted for saying lambchopp59 sounds like an angry guy and that he seems to dislike his cousin simply for his beliefs, which I’ll add is the definition of bigotry
Maybe if people would actually listen to each other, then there wouldn’t be so much hostility. Then possibly lambchopp59 would understand other viewpoints better instead of claiming those who vote a certain way only do it “in the name of Jesus”
lambchopp59 starts off by saying it’s wrong to bash someone who is different, I assume that extends to difference of opinion as well. Yet he goes on a massive rant bashing those who are different than himself.
lambchopp59 also makes many sweeping generalizations (something I thought was against the rules here) such as claiming Republican are greedy (I remember someone saying ‘coked out SJW’ and that comment was removed) along with other broad claims
batesmotel
She’s a Democrat. Do your homework.
Onecaddy13
lambchopp59, You are an angry person. After reading your comment, WOW!!! Is just about all I can say. If there was a discussion regarding your comments, “YOU’” probably won’t listen. That’s how closed minded you are. Oh, and do a little more research, you may learn something new and may change your mind before you make comments like this. Remember, not all “REPUBLICANS” are what you describe, and sometimes we vote DEMOCRAT. I wish you well with your continued hatred of “REPUBLICANS”
batesmotel
Why would she sit down with Fox or Megyn Kelly when she’s a registered Democrat Liberal? Are you assuming she’s conservative because of her tirade of epithets used? You do know that the name calling tends to come from extreme liberals and you can look her up, she’s a Democrat.
Tête Carrée
Blanket statement.

An individuals political affiliation has no bearing on the crime. People who commit crimes are not selective as to who they are subjecting violence against depending as to whether they find a victim to be Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party, Libertarian or descendants of 1680 British Whigs.
According to surveys, it appears to a majority of people throughout the world one of the United States largest political party’s is civilized, empathetic, open-minded, and fair. The same group, however, says it is apparent the members of the country’s next significant party seem to have been left permanently spent, perhaps too related to their family tree and having the general mentality of one who turns to huffing glue, appearing lost in an orange haze.
The fact is mortals make up members of political parties, and despite the more significant group’s mission, there will be individuals who fail to respect the image of that institution as much as they disrespect fellow citizens they view as inferior to them as humans. People join political affiliations through an open enrollment system without oversight or limitation. Because of that, there will be those who float from party to party back and forth using the organizations for their benefits, ignoring the needs of the more significant good even if it means destroying the organization as a whole; one could use the current resident of the White House as an example of that.
mhoffman953
@galaxy8news
“An individuals political affiliation has no bearing on the crime”
True, so why are so many on here quick to jump to conclusions?
Plus, I’m smart enough to see what you’re doing. You’re wording your response so that you don’t violate Queerty’s new comment policy buy you still do it by intentionally being vague.
You do this when you vaguely say the members of one political party, which you do not name, has a “general mentality” and “huffs glue” according to you.
“ignoring the needs of the more significant good even if it means destroying the organization as a whole; one could use the current resident of the White House as an example of that”
That quote is another vague, unsubstantiated claim. I could provide a laundry list as to how our country is better now than before: stronger border security, lower taxes, progress toward fair trade, denuclearization of NK, near end of ISIS, lower unemployment, etc.
But if you think the opposite of those things (higher taxes, open borders, unfettered immigration, unfair trade, lack of nationalism, heightened terrorism) makes us better, then that’s your opinion.
rand503
Well, that couple hit all the emotional buttons for that woman:
Two women
Black
Lesbian
Pregnant
Military
That combo is probably the very worst nightmare for this woman. In those two women she sees the entire destruction of the whole society she reveres, which is white, traditional family, and pro-military. They hit every one of her buttons.
Lotsocatslady
Although she was arrested, and obviously charged with at least assault, I sure hope they also categorize it AS A HATE CRIME!!!!
Mpo2411
An updated story claims that the son also lost his business and is feeling the repercussions of his reprehensible actions. Whether he Regrets anything is another thing, and I rather doubt it. He was enjoying it too much.
Nothing in the story indicates political or religious affiliations. Those claims have no place here. All sides of politics and religions have vile people like this hidden in their ranks. Doesn’t matter who she voted for or if she voted at all. It wasn’t a political party that performed these acts. It was her and the oafish bully she raised.
