Alabama judge has been removed from the bench after reportedly referring to colleagues as 'Uncle Tom,' 'fat b****' and a 'heifer,' according to a complaint.
Jefferson County Judge Nakita Blocton, 44, was also ordered to pay the cost of the proceeding after a complaint was filed in May saying she made 'inappropriate comments' to two judges and two employees.
The judge, who is married and has one daughter, reportedly called one judge 'Uncle Tom' another a 'fat b****,' and an employee a 'heifer.' She also purportedly named-called another employee, but the specific term she used was not revealed in court documents.
The former judge also reportedly stalked litigants during court cases and messaged witnesses to delete evidence. She allegedly created fake aliases on Facebook to contact litigants to influence their testimony.
The court documents said Blocton had 'a pattern of abuse' toward staff and that she allegedly attempted to cover up her abuse by forcing employees to let her see their private cellphones and work logins so evidence could be deleted.

'Judge Blocton also ordered employees to allow her to see their private cellphones so that information that might be relevant to the Commission's investigation could be deleted and she instructed them to provide to her their private login information to their work computers,' the
court document of the panel's decision read.
