Jealous Judge Stalks Ex’s New Lover 300+ Times
JEALOUSY RULES THE BENCH
The envy stems from her ex selecting a partner far younger than she is.

A shocking scandal in Reno, Nevada, exposes the dark and deadly side of jealousy—a toxic emotion that can transform obsession into terror, harassment, and, far too often, violence and murder.
Washoe County District Court Judge Bridget Robb, a 63-year-old family court judge once entrusted with upholding justice, has abruptly announced her retirement effective February 6, 2026, after a court granted attorney Kelci Binau a temporary protective order against her.
Court filings and reports reveal a chilling pattern: Robb allegedly stalked Binau in a “willful, repeated and patterned” manner for over a year and a half—starting in May 2024—showing up uninvited at Binau’s home, her boyfriend’s residence, restaurants, and even the Pilates studio where Binau works out. The victim reported approximately 300 incidents, leaving her in constant fear and unable to sleep peacefully.
The motive? Raw, consuming jealousy. Binau was dating Robb’s ex-boyfriend, Matthew Addison—a man Robb had dated until their relationship ended around 2021. Sources indicate Robb admitted to police she was stalking the victim out of jealousy over the new romance. Though no criminal charges have been filed yet, the fallout was swift: Chief District Judge Egan Walker stripped Robb of all cases and assignments, launched an internal probe, and the judge withdrew from an upcoming election bid. A full hearing on the protective order is set for February 13, 2026.
This isn’t just a story of professional downfall—it’s a glaring warning about how unchecked jealousy escalates into danger.
Jealousy doesn’t stay “personal.” When it festers into possessiveness—”If I can’t have you, no one can”—it becomes a lethal risk factor. Research shows:
- 76% of intimate partner femicide (murder by a partner) victims were stalked by their killer in the year before the attack.
- 85% of attempted intimate partner homicides involved prior stalking.
- In many cases, perpetrators exhibited “morbid jealousy,” obsessive monitoring, threats, and control—behaviors that mirror the alleged pattern here.
- Stalking by an intimate partner triples the risk of homicide, with jealousy frequently cited as the trigger.
History is littered with tragic examples: jealous ex-partners who stalked, threatened, then killed; cases where “love” twisted into fatal rage over new relationships; instances where separation ignited violence against the ex and anyone close to them. From bludgeonings and strangulations to premeditated murders, jealousy has driven countless perpetrators to cross the line from harassment to homicide.
In Reno, a judge’s alleged actions stopped short of physical assault—but the fear inflicted was real, and the potential for escalation undeniable. This case shatters the illusion that status or profession insulates anyone from jealousy’s destructive power.
Jealousy unchecked is a ticking bomb. It destroys peace of mind, careers, and lives. If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, obsessive behavior, or escalating threats fueled by jealousy—act now. Seek protective orders, document everything, contact law enforcement or domestic violence resources. What starts as surveillance can end in tragedy.
The Reno legal community is reeling, but the bigger lesson is universal: Jealousy can kill. Don’t wait for it to prove that point.
