1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:02,036
[Judge Judy] You met the defendant online?

2
00:00:02,103 --> 00:00:03,604
- Uh yes.
- And a week later,

3
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:05,339
- you moved into her room?
- Yes.

4
00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:07,908
What were you doing when you met her?

5
00:00:07,975 --> 00:00:10,611
I wasn't working at the time,
but I'm just kind of figuring out my life.

6
00:00:10,678 --> 00:00:12,713
You better start figuring it out, sir.

7
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:15,850
She terminated her relationship with you,
I understand why.

8
00:00:15,916 --> 00:00:18,252
[announcer]This is Judy Justice.

9
00:00:18,319 --> 00:00:21,322
[theme music playing]

10
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:39,306
[announcer] Jeramy Brumley
is suing his former girlfriend,

11
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:43,144
Cheyanne Madewell,
for a bed and his belongings.

12
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:44,512
[Kevin] Court come to order.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,248
Have a seat, everyone.

14
00:00:49,083 --> 00:00:50,151
Hello, Judge.

15
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:53,454
Case number 1120, Brumley versus Madewell.

16
00:00:53,521 --> 00:00:54,755
- Thank you.
- [Kevin] Yes.

17
00:00:54,822 --> 00:00:56,557
[Judge Judy] Mr. Brumley, how old are you?

18
00:00:56,624 --> 00:00:57,825
I'm 32 years old.

19
00:00:57,892 --> 00:00:58,959
How do you support yourself?

20
00:00:59,026 --> 00:01:00,394
I was unemployment recently

21
00:01:00,461 --> 00:01:02,630
and I'm working for a contractor
at the moment.

22
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:05,166
[Judge Judy]
Unemployment recently from when to when?

23
00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:06,333
[Jeramy] For the last year and a half.

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,103
I don't have the date,
Your Honor, exactly.

25
00:01:09,170 --> 00:01:10,704
When did your unemployment end?

26
00:01:10,771 --> 00:01:11,939
[Jeramy] It just recently ended.

27
00:01:12,006 --> 00:01:13,039
[Judge Judy] What state do you live in?

28
00:01:13,107 --> 00:01:13,941
Oregon.

29
00:01:14,008 --> 00:01:16,477
So party's over, back to work.

30
00:01:16,544 --> 00:01:18,913
So for a year and a half,
you collected unemployment.

31
00:01:18,979 --> 00:01:20,681
How much did you receive every week?

32
00:01:21,816 --> 00:01:23,250
- Around...no, it's like...
- Don't think I would know...I know...

33
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:26,487
- ...exactly what they put in my bank.
- ...718 or like 720 a month

34
00:01:26,554 --> 00:01:28,923
- ...or a week.
- [Judge Judy] $720 a week?

35
00:01:28,989 --> 00:01:32,259
Not counting the whole extra,
700 because with the COVID,

36
00:01:32,326 --> 00:01:34,595
they added an extra
300 to your weekly claim.

37
00:01:34,662 --> 00:01:36,864
I've made $458 a week

38
00:01:36,931 --> 00:01:39,300
until the extra 300 was going on.

39
00:01:39,366 --> 00:01:42,369
So during that whole time,
it wasn't the whole 700, it was 458.

40
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:46,140
And during COVID, they added
the extra $300 with the COVID kicker.

41
00:01:46,207 --> 00:01:48,843
- [Judge Judy] Now, you are 32 years old.
- [Jeramy] Yes.

42
00:01:48,908 --> 00:01:52,012
So prior to collecting unemployment,
what kind of work did you do?

43
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:53,981
- I worked for a contractor. I replaced...
- [Judge Judy] Doing what?

44
00:01:54,048 --> 00:01:55,249
...water meters for the city

45
00:01:55,316 --> 00:01:57,685
and uh water box contracts in Bend as
well.

46
00:01:57,751 --> 00:01:59,652
Now, what were you doing

47
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,823
when you met the defendant online?

48
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:03,757
[Jeramy] I wasn't working at the time.

49
00:02:03,824 --> 00:02:05,159
[Judge Judy] So you were collecting
unemployment?

50
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:06,060
Yes.

51
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,661
[Judge Judy] Who were you living with?

52
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:10,030
I was living with my grandma
and kind of some friends at the time.

53
00:02:10,097 --> 00:02:12,800
'Cause I dealt with a breakup
so I was kind of a few different spots.

54
00:02:12,867 --> 00:02:15,703
And you met the defendant online
in what month?

55
00:02:15,769 --> 00:02:17,905
That would have been end of February,
beginning of March.

56
00:02:17,972 --> 00:02:19,673
- [Judge Judy] Of 2020?
- [Jeramy] This year.

57
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:21,642
- [Judge Judy] 2021?
- [Jeramy] Yes.

58
00:02:21,709 --> 00:02:25,346
And the defendant was living in her
grandmother's house, in a room?

59
00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:27,781
- Yes.
- [Judge Judy] In what month

60
00:02:27,848 --> 00:02:31,585
did you move in with her in her room,
in her grandmother's house?

61
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:35,022
Beginning of April--or end of March,
beginning of April.

62
00:02:35,089 --> 00:02:38,058
We got together in March 23rd
in relationship-wise.

63
00:02:38,125 --> 00:02:39,260
I was trying to figure out if she...

64
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:40,661
[Judge Judy] And a week later,
you moved into her room?

65
00:02:40,728 --> 00:02:42,096
- No, not a week later.
- [Judge Judy] Two weeks later?

66
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,364
- It was a couple of weeks.
- [Judge Judy] Three weeks later?

67
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:44,665
Three weeks to a month. Yes.

68
00:02:44,732 --> 00:02:45,833
- [Judge Judy] Three weeks later?
- [Jeramy] Yes.

69
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:47,401
[Judge Judy]
And you stayed there until when?

70
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:48,936
[Jeramy] I didn't technically stay there.

71
00:02:49,003 --> 00:02:51,071
I would give her rides to work
and I'd come stay sometimes

72
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:52,840
in the beginning, and then I'd leave.

73
00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:55,910
And then after a little bit,
she needed a ride to work constantly

74
00:02:55,976 --> 00:02:58,312
and so then I'd be like,
"Okay. I'll give you a ride to work."

75
00:02:58,379 --> 00:03:00,681
And then she offered for me
to stay there with her, and...

76
00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:05,085
[Judge Judy] What month did she offer
to let you come and stay there with her?

77
00:03:05,152 --> 00:03:06,554
- April. Uh...
- [Judge Judy] April?

78
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:08,422
Yeah. That'd be like April 1st. We'll say.

79
00:03:08,489 --> 00:03:11,058
That's--yeah, sorry.

80
00:03:11,125 --> 00:03:12,159
April.

81
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:14,962
So in April, you came
and stayed with her full-time and like...

82
00:03:15,029 --> 00:03:17,398
- No. It was never full-time, Your Honor.
- [Judge Judy] Okay.

83
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:19,133
[Jeramy] On the weekend,
she'd visit her family.

84
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,101
On weekdays, I'd give her rides some and,

85
00:03:21,168 --> 00:03:22,503
and in the beginning,
I wouldn't even stay there.

86
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:25,139
[Judge Judy] No, no. I'm talking about
when you started to stay there.

87
00:03:25,204 --> 00:03:27,641
You started to stay there
long enough, sir,

88
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,777
so that you got disgusted with the bed

89
00:03:29,843 --> 00:03:31,912
because that's what's most
of your lawsuit is about.

90
00:03:31,978 --> 00:03:35,416
You say you bought a new bed
for her grandma's room,

91
00:03:35,482 --> 00:03:37,284
and when she terminated the relationship,

92
00:03:37,351 --> 00:03:39,053
you want her to pay for half the bed.

93
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:41,689
So you don't need a new bed
unless you're sleeping there.

94
00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:44,024
So let's be real.

95
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:46,260
- That's what's the lawsuit's about.
- Lawsuit's about a bed, yes.

96
00:03:46,327 --> 00:03:48,395
- [Judge Judy] A bed?
- For the most part, the bed, my clothing,

97
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:50,364
- and my belonging, yes.
- Well, you--just a second,

98
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:52,733
your belongings,
according to you, were never there.

99
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,069
According to you, you didn't stay there.

100
00:03:55,135 --> 00:03:56,170
You just drove her to work
and sometimes you stayed over

101
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:58,906
- and sometimes you didn't.
- Your Honor, sorry.

102
00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:03,777
[Judge Judy]
So, put on a whole new thinking cap.

103
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:05,746
- Okay.
- [Judge Judy] In what month

104
00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:07,481
did you move in there

105
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:10,784
enough so that you wanted
to change the bed?

106
00:04:10,851 --> 00:04:12,019
Well, it was kind of her thing, too.

107
00:04:12,086 --> 00:04:14,555
Like, I don't know exactly in April,
and we wanted to get a bed.

108
00:04:14,622 --> 00:04:16,856
And it was just mutual, like we wanted
to get a bed, we're together.

109
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:18,358
We were trying to, like, move forward.

110
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:20,094
And I have that stated here that, like...

111
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,062
[Judge Judy] I don't care
what you have stated anywhere.

112
00:04:22,129 --> 00:04:24,164
I'm gonna make this suggestion
to you, sir.

113
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:25,032
[Jeramy] Yes.

114
00:04:25,132 --> 00:04:26,500
She terminated her relationship with you.

115
00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:30,604
I haven't even let her open
her mouth yet, I understand why.

116
00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:34,842
So my advice to you is
in case you move in with somebody

117
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:38,512
and you don't like the bed again,
get twin beds

118
00:04:38,579 --> 00:04:40,714
so that you can take one with you.

119
00:04:40,781 --> 00:04:44,585
Because you can't cut this bed in half,
and she's not paying you for half of it.

120
00:04:44,652 --> 00:04:45,686
[Jeramy] Excuse me, Your Honor.

121
00:04:45,753 --> 00:04:49,189
She said that she would pay me on here,
and that she would do that.

122
00:04:49,256 --> 00:04:51,492
She's like, "You buy the bed
and I will pay you in part for that, too."

123
00:04:51,558 --> 00:04:52,626
And I have that right here.

124
00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:54,762
I'd love to see it.

125
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,201
Oh.

126
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:05,706
- [Jeramy] And if I may, Your Honor...
- Shh. No, you may not.

127
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:07,941
"Such a blessing.

128
00:05:08,008 --> 00:05:09,877
Just tell me when you need money.

129
00:05:09,943 --> 00:05:11,812
We're a team." That's not a contract.

130
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:12,913
[Jeramy] Well, it says right here.

131
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:14,748
You--you're getting it
with the Amazon card,

132
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:15,749
and she's having me buy up a bed.

133
00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:16,817
[Judge Judy]
No. She said, yeah, you give--

134
00:05:16,884 --> 00:05:18,652
I'll give you money back
or you just tell me

135
00:05:18,719 --> 00:05:20,921
when you need money, baby.
We're a team.

136
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:21,955
That's not a contract.

137
00:05:22,022 --> 00:05:23,357
[Jeramy]
Yeah, after the situation, it does...

138
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:24,758
That's not a contract.

139
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:25,926
[Jeramy]
Okay. I understand that with the bed.

140
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:27,227
[Judge Judy] Okay. It's not a contract.

141
00:05:27,294 --> 00:05:29,129
Contract requires specific terms.

142
00:05:29,196 --> 00:05:32,166
If you buy the bed,
I will reimburse you for half the bed.

143
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:33,901
Not, "Yeah, I'll give you money back

144
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:37,504
or you just tell me when you need money,
baby, and we're a team."

145
00:05:37,571 --> 00:05:38,639
That's not a contract.

146
00:05:38,706 --> 00:05:40,707
- Okay.
- [Judge Judy] Okay. So, get twin beds.

147
00:05:40,774 --> 00:05:43,077
Now, the next thing
comes with a question,

148
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:44,511
when did you move out?

149
00:05:44,578 --> 00:05:47,081
[Jeramy] Uh I moved out June 3rd,
I believe--or no.

150
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:48,148
It was before that.

151
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:51,452
She told me on June 3rd that she was
breaking up with me and that--or no.

152
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:54,888
She was taking care of her grandma
and moving states away to deal with that.

153
00:05:54,955 --> 00:05:56,623
And I was like okay with that,
which is totally fine.

154
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:57,725
I don't know what's going on.

155
00:05:57,791 --> 00:06:00,227
She was been cold turkey for a little
bit, like, I don't know what's going on.

156
00:06:00,294 --> 00:06:02,162
She's been super quiet
and so I just didn't understand.

157
00:06:02,229 --> 00:06:04,031
And then this happens, I take it as it is.

158
00:06:04,098 --> 00:06:05,499
I'm not, you know,
a heartless person at all.

159
00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:07,067
- Don't get me wrong.
- [Judge Judy] Just a second.

160
00:06:07,134 --> 00:06:08,902
You moved in there according to you

161
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:11,605
sometime about the second week in April,
part-time.

162
00:06:11,672 --> 00:06:13,474
And then you moved in more full-time.

163
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:15,809
But you left on June 3rd,

164
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:20,647
so you were there
for the month of May, right?

165
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:22,015
Actually, we'll say uh at the end of May,

166
00:06:22,082 --> 00:06:24,084
because June was when she wrote me
and said this stuff, so I didn't...

167
00:06:24,151 --> 00:06:25,385
- [Judge Judy] Just a second.
- ...even move over there then.

168
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:27,721
[Judge Judy]
So tell me when you were there?

169
00:06:27,788 --> 00:06:28,922
[Jeramy] I'd be there during the week

170
00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:30,491
sometimes with her, when I...

171
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:32,826
[Judge Judy]
And where--where were you living

172
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:35,062
- the time that you weren't living with...
- I was at my grandmother's.

173
00:06:35,129 --> 00:06:36,597
Is that where you get mail?

174
00:06:36,663 --> 00:06:37,564
[Jeramy] I have a PO Box.

175
00:06:37,631 --> 00:06:39,332
Grandma gets tired of getting my mail,
so...

176
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,969
[Judge Judy] How long have you been
staying at your grandmother's

177
00:06:42,034 --> 00:06:43,837
since this last breakup
that you had before her?

178
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:46,540
It's kind of off and on, but I'm just
kind of figuring out my life, Your Honor.

179
00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:48,675
I stayed with my grandma a little bit.

180
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:49,843
You did say you were 32.

181
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:51,278
[Jeramy] I'm 32, Your Honor.

182
00:06:51,345 --> 00:06:54,581
Well, you're a third done,
and that's if you're lucky.

183
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:56,850
You'd better start figuring it out, sir.

184
00:07:00,187 --> 00:07:02,222
I'm not sure exactly what I had,

185
00:07:02,289 --> 00:07:03,557
but I have a bag of my clothes
out on the street.

186
00:07:03,624 --> 00:07:05,926
Just a second.
Can I see that photograph?

187
00:07:05,993 --> 00:07:07,027
- I actually have that, too, ma'am.
- [Judge Judy] Jus-- up!

188
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:08,896
- Just, just...
- Sorry.

189
00:07:08,962 --> 00:07:10,364
[narrator] And later today...

190
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,065
But you've signed it, sir.

191
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:14,501
- But I read it earlier and earlier...
- [Judge Judy] Oh.

192
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:16,703
...is not what you--
what you're saying that's on there.

193
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,272
- Would you show it to him again?
- [Khiry] All you're saying is that

194
00:07:18,338 --> 00:07:19,773
- I'm suing him for--just the video.
- Quiet!

195
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,908
- Oh, go ahead.
- [Judge Judy] Quiet!

196
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:22,075
Go ahead. Okay.

197
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:24,578
Don't sound foolish.

198
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:32,019
[theme music playing]

199
00:07:35,923 --> 00:07:40,694
[narrator] Jeramy Brumley claims his
former girlfriend, Cheyanne Madewell,

200
00:07:40,761 --> 00:07:43,564
owes for a bed and his belongings.

201
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:44,832
You better start figuring.

202
00:07:44,898 --> 00:07:46,200
Excuse me, Your Honor?

203
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:47,601
I said you're 32.

204
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:50,137
That means you're a third done,
if you're lucky.

205
00:07:50,204 --> 00:07:53,874
'Cause not all of us get so lucky
to live to be 96.

206
00:07:53,941 --> 00:07:56,610
So 96, so I'm saying to you,
you better start figuring.

207
00:07:56,677 --> 00:07:59,580
Because the last third
isn't as good as the first two-thirds.

208
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:00,948
Trust me on that.

209
00:08:01,882 --> 00:08:03,684
- [Jeramy] Your Honor.
- [Judge Judy] Mr. Brumley?

210
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:04,585
- Can I...
- [Judge Judy] Mr. Brumley?

211
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:07,221
- Yes?
- Get yourself real will you please, sir?

212
00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:08,589
You don't get the bed.

213
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,791
You live there on and off
with your grandmother

214
00:08:10,858 --> 00:08:12,593
with whom you don't pay any rent.

215
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:15,462
You live there,
you didn't pay any rent or expenses.

216
00:08:15,529 --> 00:08:17,965
You live part-time, you lived half-time,
you live out of your van,

217
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,400
you live out of your car,
you couch-hop with your friends.

218
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:21,301
Okay.

219
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:24,938
Now, I want you to tell me
what item specifically

220
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:27,941
you allege that she disposed of
that were yours

221
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:31,745
in this place that
you really don't live in all the time

222
00:08:31,812 --> 00:08:33,614
'cause you're mostly
with your grandmother.

223
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,017
So tell me what specific items,

224
00:08:37,084 --> 00:08:39,052
and I'll see receipts for them.

225
00:08:39,119 --> 00:08:42,155
The best that I could do for receipts
was to be able to go to Amazon--

226
00:08:42,222 --> 00:08:45,826
or Google and look for different items
for each item that I had inside her house.

227
00:08:45,893 --> 00:08:47,928
First try telling me.
I don't care what you take pictures of.

228
00:08:47,995 --> 00:08:49,529
[Jeramy]
I got PlayStation games. I have my...

229
00:08:49,596 --> 00:08:51,531
[Judge Judy]
Just a second. Just--hey.

230
00:08:51,598 --> 00:08:52,532
[Jeramy] Yeah?

231
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:56,603
[Judge Judy] You had a PlayStation there
that you brought to her house?

232
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:58,639
[Jeramy] Yeah, and then she changed
my network password to her name

233
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:01,275
for no reason, 'cause she's controlling.

234
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,277
[Judge Judy] Where did you get
the PlayStation and when?

235
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:04,678
[Jeramy] I bought it offline.

236
00:09:04,745 --> 00:09:05,679
Out of the marketplace.

237
00:09:05,746 --> 00:09:08,215
It probably have been uh
a year or so before we got together,

238
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:09,416
so I've had it for at least a year.

239
00:09:09,483 --> 00:09:11,385
- And how much did you pay for it?
- [Jeramy] I paid 250...

240
00:09:11,451 --> 00:09:13,053
- Offline.
- Two hundred and fifty bucks.

241
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,888
[Judge Judy] What did you do
with his PlayStation?

242
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:16,523
I have the evidence right here, Your
Honor.

243
00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:19,726
I messaged him when I was moving
out of my grandmother's house.

244
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:21,461
Um he was taking eight showers a day.

245
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:22,996
- He was staying home...
- [Judge Judy] I-- just listen to me.

246
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:23,897
I'm not giving you...

247
00:09:23,964 --> 00:09:24,765
[Cheyanne]
Oh, I have the PlayStation still...

248
00:09:24,831 --> 00:09:25,666
- I don't...
- [Cheyanne] ...to this day.

249
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,167
I asked him to pay me the money
that he owed me.

250
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:28,835
[Judge Judy] Just a second.
Just a second.

251
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:30,003
- Yes.
- So you still have the PlayStation?

252
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:31,505
- [Cheyanne] Yes, ma'am.
- Great.

253
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:34,141
One PlayStation to you.

254
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,442
You live in the same state?

255
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:36,777
- Yes.
- [Judge Judy] Great.

256
00:09:36,843 --> 00:09:38,545
Do you want him to know your address?

257
00:09:38,612 --> 00:09:40,013
He knows my address, Your Honor.

258
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,683
[Judge Judy] So what I want you to do
is wrap the PlayStation,

259
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:46,420
and he has five days on
twenty-four hours' notice to you.

260
00:09:46,486 --> 00:09:48,255
He's gonna pick up the PlayStation.

261
00:09:48,322 --> 00:09:49,323
Do you have a porch?

262
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:51,591
I have the front yard
where I actually left his stuff.

263
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:52,859
Shh. Shh.

264
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:54,728
- But yes, I have a porch.
- [Judge Judy] Good.

265
00:09:54,795 --> 00:09:57,965
Leave his wrapped PlayStation
on the porch.

266
00:09:58,031 --> 00:09:59,533
- All right.
- Perfect!

267
00:10:00,534 --> 00:10:03,070
And that's on 24-hours' notice to you.

268
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:05,739
So when you say 24-hours' notice to me,
I contact him if he doesn't...

269
00:10:05,806 --> 00:10:07,007
- [Judge Judy] No, no.
- Okay.

270
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:08,976
He's gonna contact you within five days...

271
00:10:09,042 --> 00:10:10,143
- [Cheyanne] Okay.
- ...of today's date.

272
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:11,979
- All right.
- [Judge Judy] And say, "I will be there

273
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:14,881
on the 3rd at 9:00 AM."

274
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:16,249
- All right.
- Put it out,

275
00:10:16,316 --> 00:10:17,951
make sure it's out there 9:00 AM.

276
00:10:18,018 --> 00:10:19,720
Take a photograph of it with a time.

277
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:22,155
Put it out there.
If he picks it up, fine.

278
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:23,757
If he doesn't, it's gone.

279
00:10:23,824 --> 00:10:24,958
- All righty.
- [Judge Judy] Okay.

280
00:10:25,025 --> 00:10:26,393
So that's the PlayStation.

281
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:27,761
What else is there?

282
00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:29,229
[Jeramy] There's a bag of my clothes
that I had there.

283
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:30,731
I'm not sure exactly what I had

284
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,599
but I have a bag of my clothes
out on the street.

285
00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:35,068
Just a second.
Can I see that photograph?

286
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:36,036
- [Cheyanne] I actually have...
- [Judge Judy] Jus-- up!

287
00:10:36,103 --> 00:10:37,537
- ...that, too, ma'am.
- [Judge Judy] Just, just...

288
00:10:37,604 --> 00:10:39,172
Sorry.

289
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:48,181
Okay. So this is a bag of clothing
that was his,

290
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:50,317
that you put out
and that you received.

291
00:10:50,384 --> 00:10:52,319
She said to you in this picture,
"Here are your clothes"?

292
00:10:52,386 --> 00:10:55,088
[Jeramy] Yes. "And you have till
Friday or Sunday to come get them."

293
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,857
And then I told her
Sunday I would come there.

294
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:57,858
[Judge Judy] Just a second.

295
00:10:57,924 --> 00:11:00,427
She sent you a picture of your clothing
out on the street?

296
00:11:00,494 --> 00:11:02,129
- [Jeramy] Yes.
- You live in the same town?

297
00:11:02,195 --> 00:11:03,630
- No, I don't.
- [Judge Judy] Where did you live?

298
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:04,664
I lived in McMinnville.

299
00:11:04,731 --> 00:11:06,466
[Judge Judy] And how far was that
from where you were living with her?

300
00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:08,702
- Uh, it's not, not too far from her.
- [Judge Judy] Not too far.

301
00:11:08,769 --> 00:11:12,039
So she sends you a bag--
picture and said, "Come get your stuff.

302
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:15,475
I don't want this bag of your clothes
here anymore."

303
00:11:15,542 --> 00:11:16,676
And you didn't go get them?

304
00:11:16,743 --> 00:11:18,979
Yeah, and I have a statement saying
to come Friday or Sunday

305
00:11:19,046 --> 00:11:19,880
to come get your stuff.

306
00:11:19,946 --> 00:11:21,815
And I said,
"Sunday, can I come get my stuff?"

307
00:11:21,882 --> 00:11:23,216
And, and I didn't get a message
or anything.

308
00:11:23,283 --> 00:11:24,184
I have a message of that, too.

309
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:25,986
[Judge Judy] Then I would have ran over
and gotten this garbage bag of stuff.

310
00:11:26,053 --> 00:11:27,054
[Jeramy] With the animosity
that was going on,

311
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,188
I didn't want into a fire right then,
you know?

312
00:11:28,255 --> 00:11:30,323
I was like--I'll come over there Friday
or Sunday, I'd like to...

313
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:32,125
[Judge Judy] Very fine. Very good.

314
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:33,160
Bed, we're finished.

315
00:11:33,226 --> 00:11:34,661
Return of value of property,
we're finished.

316
00:11:34,728 --> 00:11:36,329
Your case is dismissed.
We're done here.

317
00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:37,531
- Get a job.
- [Kevin] Court is adjourned.

318
00:11:37,597 --> 00:11:38,932
Thank you.

319
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,402
We had a relationship of a month--
a month and a half to two months.

320
00:11:42,469 --> 00:11:43,303
It's not very long.

321
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:46,206
People aren't who they seem to be
when you first meet them.

322
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:48,608
But also, like,
that's enough for someone to get

323
00:11:48,675 --> 00:11:50,377
and to know someone
and take advantage of them.

324
00:11:50,444 --> 00:11:52,412
They have a mask over them

325
00:11:52,479 --> 00:11:55,949
and you got to get to know them,
and watch that mask come off.

326
00:11:56,016 --> 00:11:57,784
And once that mask comes off,
you're just like,

327
00:11:57,851 --> 00:11:59,619
"Whoa. What did--what is this?"

328
00:11:59,686 --> 00:12:03,056
Uh, I'm not sure I got a text message in
that, and then this soon after happened.

329
00:12:03,123 --> 00:12:04,491
I was actually really nice about it.

330
00:12:04,558 --> 00:12:06,726
I told him that it was over, that I was
moving out my grandmother's house.

331
00:12:06,793 --> 00:12:10,430
With me moving out, well, obviously you're
homeless so you, you can't go with me.

332
00:12:10,497 --> 00:12:12,232
I'm gonna save my money
and I'm gonna get a way better job.

333
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:14,134
Ain't nobody make 47.50 like that, she
ain't.

334
00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:16,403
It's time for me and my daughter,
not--no man.

335
00:12:18,038 --> 00:12:21,007
Now Sarah, I know many people, not well,

336
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:24,344
but many people who have met
on assorted dating apps

337
00:12:24,411 --> 00:12:26,947
and have had long-term relationships
with them,

338
00:12:27,013 --> 00:12:28,348
- even some got married.
- Uh-hmm.

339
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:31,585
- You could not tell that by our program.
- No.

340
00:12:31,651 --> 00:12:33,019
It always seems to go south.

341
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:36,990
(chuckles) It won't--not one successful
go around.

342
00:12:37,057 --> 00:12:39,226
- Why do you think that is?
- I--I'm not sure.

343
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:41,194
You've got to go through a lot of profiles

344
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:44,531
to find one that you could be in
a long-term relationship with, I guess.

345
00:12:44,598 --> 00:12:50,070
You know, I would say
for most thinking women, mostly,

346
00:12:50,137 --> 00:12:53,073
'cause it's usually
that's what we see here,

347
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:55,509
women who end up
on the short end of the stick.

348
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:58,378
The first thing
that they should have is a job.

349
00:12:58,445 --> 00:13:00,280
- [Sarah] Yeah.
- (chuckles) That's a pre-requisite one.

350
00:13:00,347 --> 00:13:02,949
You could actually understand
why this young man didn't have a job

351
00:13:03,016 --> 00:13:05,051
- because he made more not working.
- [Sarah] Uh-hmm.

352
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:08,021
Then he did working,
which was a big problem

353
00:13:08,088 --> 00:13:10,357
and will continue to be in this country
a big problem

354
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:11,958
but has been over the last year.

355
00:13:12,025 --> 00:13:15,795
And that really is a country making babies
out of a whole generation of people.

356
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:17,631
I agree.

357
00:13:17,697 --> 00:13:21,034
Case number 1122, Clark versus Albro.

358
00:13:21,101 --> 00:13:22,602
All parties, please come forward.

359
00:13:22,669 --> 00:13:27,807
[narrator] Rapper Khiry Clark
is suing video director Rashad Albro

360
00:13:27,874 --> 00:13:31,011
for the production cost of a music video.

361
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:33,180
Mr. Albro,

362
00:13:33,246 --> 00:13:34,781
you look angry before we start.

363
00:13:34,848 --> 00:13:35,882
Put your hands down.

364
00:13:35,949 --> 00:13:37,150
- Uh-hmm.
- [Judge Judy] Thank you.

365
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:40,954
You may get there,
but I haven't started yet. (chuckles)

366
00:13:42,222 --> 00:13:45,158
Now, Mr. Clark, it is your claim
that the defendant,

367
00:13:45,225 --> 00:13:48,929
at your request, made a music video
for you that you paid him,

368
00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:51,097
that he A, didn't deliver it on time,

369
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,633
and B, did a less than professional job

370
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:57,737
which required you to hire someone else
to either do it again

371
00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:01,107
or to fix it in any event.

372
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:05,078
What you are requesting is the money
that you paid to Mr. Albro

373
00:14:05,145 --> 00:14:08,415
and the cost of redoing the video.

374
00:14:08,481 --> 00:14:12,519
Mr. Albro says that you were
initially satisfied with the video,

375
00:14:12,586 --> 00:14:14,921
which he acknowledges
that he delivered late.

376
00:14:14,988 --> 00:14:18,358
He said that because of personal issues,
and he had some,

377
00:14:18,425 --> 00:14:20,827
he was delayed by a couple of weeks
in getting you the video,

378
00:14:20,894 --> 00:14:23,630
but you were satisfied with it
and subsequently called him

379
00:14:23,697 --> 00:14:25,865
and told him that there were things
that were deficient.

380
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:27,167
That the case?

381
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:28,902
No.

382
00:14:28,969 --> 00:14:30,203
That's not the case.

383
00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:34,074
Well, I don't like your attitude,
Mr. Clark.

384
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:34,941
I don't care.

385
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,309
[Judge Judy]
I think your attitude is disrespectful.

386
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:38,245
[Khiry] And you're not making any sense
and reading stuff in 10 seconds.

387
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:39,212
[Judge Judy] ...I think,
your attitude is disrespectful.

388
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,313
[Khiry] What sense does that make?

389
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:41,915
You only read stuff in 10 seconds?

390
00:14:41,982 --> 00:14:43,149
So this is what I'm going to do.

391
00:14:48,855 --> 00:14:50,924
[theme music playing]

392
00:14:54,527 --> 00:14:59,766
[narrator] Rapper Khiry Clark claims
video director Rashad Albro

393
00:14:59,833 --> 00:15:03,336
owes for the production cost
of a music video.

394
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:06,840
Khiry also claims Rashad stole
his video concept

395
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:09,576
and used it with a different artist.

396
00:15:09,643 --> 00:15:11,077
The part that you are questioning

397
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:13,847
is the part where he says
you told him you were satisfied?

398
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:15,649
I told him that I was satisfied.

399
00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:18,184
[Judge Judy]
So, what is it that I was mistaken

400
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:21,921
and suggesting that your position was?

401
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,757
[Khiry] Okay.
So I'm gonna explain, Your Honor.

402
00:15:23,823 --> 00:15:24,791
[Judge Judy] No, don't explain.

403
00:15:24,858 --> 00:15:27,193
Just tell me the one thing
that is not correct.

404
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:30,797
[Khiry] The main issue is that
he basically took my original idea

405
00:15:30,864 --> 00:15:32,132
that I came up with,

406
00:15:32,198 --> 00:15:35,568
and he made sure that his cameraman
panned me at certain positions.

407
00:15:35,635 --> 00:15:38,071
so that you couldn't see anything
aside from--

408
00:15:38,138 --> 00:15:40,340
it goes from my head
all the way down to my knees,

409
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:42,175
so you can't see any of my props

410
00:15:42,242 --> 00:15:44,544
with the original idea
that I came up with,

411
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:46,012
which I have documentation as well.

412
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:48,148
And he made sure that
it wasn't in my video

413
00:15:48,214 --> 00:15:49,915
and he put it in his clients' videos.

414
00:15:49,983 --> 00:15:54,354
[Judge Judy] Mr. Clark, did you trademark
or register an idea that you had?

415
00:15:54,421 --> 00:15:55,422
No, I do not.

416
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:57,357
But it is in my notes that
I told him the idea of what I wanted.

417
00:15:57,424 --> 00:15:59,426
[Judge Judy]
It doesn't mat--it doesn't matter.

418
00:15:59,492 --> 00:16:01,294
- Okay.
- [Judge Judy] Is that the only thing

419
00:16:01,361 --> 00:16:03,997
that you have issue with,
that he used some of your ideas

420
00:16:04,064 --> 00:16:06,800
in the second video that he did
that had nothing to do with you?

421
00:16:06,866 --> 00:16:09,469
Yes. Because he made sure
that he didn't put it in my video.

422
00:16:09,536 --> 00:16:12,405
I told him the place that
we're gonna shoot and the concept as well.

423
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:14,307
[Judge Judy] What I'm telling you is

424
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:18,411
unless you do something
to trademark an idea,

425
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:21,281
- it is really not intellectual property.
- Okay.

426
00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:23,883
[Judge Judy] See, I don't understand,
you know, making music videos.

427
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:25,952
What I understand is making parties.

428
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:27,954
So I'm gonna bring it
to something I understand

429
00:16:28,021 --> 00:16:30,590
and then we're gonna get
to what is actionable.

430
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:32,625
I have a wonderful guy,

431
00:16:32,692 --> 00:16:35,061
and he's been doing parties for me
forever.

432
00:16:35,128 --> 00:16:37,597
He has outrageous arrangements,

433
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:40,033
food, and cakes, and cookies,

434
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,303
and everything is fulsome and wonderful.

435
00:16:43,370 --> 00:16:47,841
And it's really a--not only a delight
to the palate but it's a delight to see.

436
00:16:47,907 --> 00:16:48,975
- [Khiry] Uh-hmm.
- Right?

437
00:16:49,042 --> 00:16:49,843
Uh-hmm.

438
00:16:49,909 --> 00:16:51,044
[Judge Judy]
And there were somebody else

439
00:16:51,111 --> 00:16:53,513
that I knew was a friend of the family
who said,

440
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:56,516
"Gee, I'd really love to come
to see one of the parties' setup

441
00:16:56,583 --> 00:17:00,220
because maybe I can get an idea or two
from what he's doing,

442
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:02,222
so that it would help me in my career."

443
00:17:02,288 --> 00:17:04,124
I said, "Do you wanna come? Come."

444
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:07,594
You can't--
because you've envisioned something

445
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:11,564
and you put it out there,
you don't hold a right to it.

446
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:15,435
So what you're saying to me is
you had certain ideas

447
00:17:15,502 --> 00:17:18,972
about how this was going to be
portrayed, this music video,

448
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,641
you had certain props that were there.

449
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:25,278
And he can say, "Gee, that was
a terrific idea to have a pumpkin

450
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:28,214
, to have a dancing strawberry,
to have--" whatever it was.

451
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:30,884
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I, I really hate to interrupt you.

452
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:35,388
But honestly, your cake story,
it is not my story, okay?

453
00:17:35,455 --> 00:17:37,424
And when I came up
with this original idea,

454
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:40,393
let me tell you something,
I used to actually live in LA, okay?

455
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:42,362
And when I lived in LA,
I was in the street.

456
00:17:42,429 --> 00:17:44,364
I got my head sliced open
while I was sleep on the beach.

457
00:17:44,431 --> 00:17:47,534
I got my head cracked by security
when I was sleep at a restaurant patio.

458
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,570
Everything that I went through,
that is why I came up with that idea,

459
00:17:50,637 --> 00:17:52,605
and that's why I put everything
that I just told you about,

460
00:17:52,672 --> 00:17:53,706
I put that in my track.

461
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:55,508
- That track is five minutes long.
- [Judge Judy] Okay.

462
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:56,443
- You feel me?
- [Judge Judy] What I'm telling you...

463
00:17:56,509 --> 00:17:57,610
- So, so thing is...
- [Judge Judy] What I'm--what I'm...

464
00:17:57,677 --> 00:17:58,711
- Oh, go ahead. Go ahead.
- [Judge Judy] What I'm telling you

465
00:17:58,778 --> 00:18:01,381
is that your complaint says,

466
00:18:01,448 --> 00:18:03,883
"I'm suing the defendant, Rashad Albro,

467
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:07,687
in the amount of $1,302.02

468
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:09,989
for a refund on the video shoot

469
00:18:10,056 --> 00:18:12,158
and the cost to fix his work.

470
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:15,895
That's what your complaint says,
so that's what I'm hearing.

471
00:18:15,962 --> 00:18:17,997
- Do you understand?
- I--no. What I--what I--what I put down--

472
00:18:18,064 --> 00:18:21,234
what I put down is that
I'm suing for the cost of the video.

473
00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:23,903
- I'm suing for the $50 for...
- Kevin. Kevin.

474
00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:25,638
[Khiry] Okay.

475
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:28,107
- I just want you to read what I have...
- [Khiry] All right.

476
00:18:28,174 --> 00:18:30,043
...that you're suing for,

477
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:33,413
and what the defendant
has been served with.

478
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,517
And that, Mr. Clark,
is what you are bound to today.

479
00:18:37,584 --> 00:18:40,086
- [Khiry] Uh-hmm.
- Kevin, I'll take that back now.

480
00:18:40,153 --> 00:18:42,288
- I didn't read it, but okay.
- [Judge Judy] Well, that's--

481
00:18:42,355 --> 00:18:43,690
- Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark
- [Khiry] I only looked at it

482
00:18:43,756 --> 00:18:44,691
so ...I mean,
I don't know why you gave it to me.

483
00:18:44,757 --> 00:18:46,960
Mr. Clark--
I'm gonna take it back now, Kevin.

484
00:18:47,026 --> 00:18:48,495
[Khiry] You can have it back.

485
00:18:48,561 --> 00:18:50,997
[Judge Judy]
Mr. Clark, when you file a complaint,

486
00:18:51,064 --> 00:18:55,435
a defendant in any court action
is then put on notice

487
00:18:55,502 --> 00:18:57,670
of what you are suing them for,

488
00:18:57,737 --> 00:18:59,472
what they have to defend.

489
00:18:59,539 --> 00:19:02,876
He is put on notice now
of what you are suing for.

490
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:07,046
And I'm telling you, today,
the only thing that I'm hearing...

491
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:09,916
- [Khiry] Uh-hmm.
- ...is what you put in your complaint.

492
00:19:09,983 --> 00:19:11,584
Which I didn't get to read by the way,
so I don't know what it says.

493
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:13,987
- [Judge Judy] Well, Mr. Clark...
- I don't know what it says.

494
00:19:14,053 --> 00:19:15,455
I don't know what the complaint says.

495
00:19:15,522 --> 00:19:17,624
Mr. Clark, that would be your fault.

496
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,792
[Khiry] How is it my fault?
Because it should be in there.

497
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:21,027
But I--guess what?
I didn't get to read it,

498
00:19:21,094 --> 00:19:22,228
so I don't know
if it's in there or not.

499
00:19:22,295 --> 00:19:25,832
You told me to read--you, you want me
to read that whole paper in 10 seconds?

500
00:19:25,899 --> 00:19:27,000
- [Judge Judy] No.
- And then you ask for it back?

501
00:19:27,066 --> 00:19:28,368
[Judge Judy]
No, that's what you signed.

502
00:19:28,434 --> 00:19:30,703
Oh, well, didn't you give it to me
to read, right?

503
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:32,472
But you signed it, sir.

504
00:19:32,539 --> 00:19:35,375
But I read it earlier.
And earlier it's not what you--

505
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:36,843
what you're saying that's on there.

506
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:38,344
- Would you show it to him again?
- [Khiry] All I'm just saying is that

507
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:40,246
- I'm suing him for just the video.
- Quiet!

508
00:19:40,313 --> 00:19:41,147
- Oh, go ahead. Okay.
- Quiet!

509
00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:42,282
Go ahead. Okay.

510
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:45,652
- Don't sound foolish.
- Oh, I'm not sounding foolish.

511
00:19:45,718 --> 00:19:47,854
- [Judge Judy] If you signed it...
- Who's the real one sounding foolish?

512
00:19:47,921 --> 00:19:50,657
You talking about I read it.
You, you wanted me to read it.

513
00:19:50,723 --> 00:19:54,427
[Judge Judy] Mr. Clark,
either you read this before you signed it.

514
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:55,695
I did read it
so why did you hand it to me

515
00:19:55,762 --> 00:19:56,829
if you wanted me to read it again?

516
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:58,031
Oh well, I don't like your attitude,
Mr. Clark.

517
00:19:58,097 --> 00:19:58,932
[Khiry] I don't care.

518
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:01,601
[Judge Judy] So, Mr. Clark,
I don't like your attitude.

519
00:20:01,668 --> 00:20:03,336
I think your attitude is disrespectful
so this is what...

520
00:20:03,403 --> 00:20:05,038
And you're making any sense.
You're telling me to read stuff

521
00:20:05,104 --> 00:20:07,006
and you--and, and read stuff
in 10 seconds.

522
00:20:07,073 --> 00:20:09,175
What sense does that make?
You want me to read stuff in 10 seconds?

523
00:20:09,242 --> 00:20:11,177
So this is what I'm going to do.

524
00:20:11,244 --> 00:20:12,211
Go do what you do.

525
00:20:12,278 --> 00:20:13,313
I am dismissing your case
without prejudice.

526
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:14,781
[Khiry] Yeah, because I'm not--
because you're a hater,

527
00:20:14,847 --> 00:20:16,249
and you really are not intelligent at all.

528
00:20:16,316 --> 00:20:17,517
You take it back to the court
in which you originally filed it.

529
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:18,985
Guess what, baby girl?
I really don't care.

530
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:20,053
We are done here.

531
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,654
- [Kevin] Court is adjourned.
- I really don't care.

532
00:20:23,122 --> 00:20:26,092
He messed me over because he stole
the original idea that I came up with,

533
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:28,261
everything that I've been through
in my life.

534
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:30,997
I'm not sure, like, we--
you know, after, after the shoot...

535
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:33,232
Stole my original idea and made sure
they wasn't in my video,

536
00:20:33,299 --> 00:20:35,735
then I paid him
a backhand payment super early

537
00:20:35,802 --> 00:20:36,636
when I really didn't have to.

538
00:20:36,703 --> 00:20:37,971
And he was happy with everything.

539
00:20:38,037 --> 00:20:40,974
After the--after he received the video,
he was happy with it.

540
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,042
Business associates.
I've never met him a day in my life

541
00:20:43,109 --> 00:20:44,210
and he said--he was a videographer,

542
00:20:44,277 --> 00:20:47,046
I've seen him on Facebook,
and I liked his work.

543
00:20:47,113 --> 00:20:50,750
That I didn't show the props
that he wanted shown,

544
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:52,585
and that I didn't deliver on time.

545
00:20:52,652 --> 00:20:54,153
But guess what? I did my part.

546
00:20:54,220 --> 00:20:55,989
I did my part. I did my part.

547
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:57,724
The universe know all of that.
I did my part.

548
00:20:57,790 --> 00:21:01,861
After all the argument and text message,
he tried to book me again.

549
00:21:01,928 --> 00:21:03,262
I told him we wasn't doing that,

550
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:05,865
so that's probably what he mad about,
that's probably why we're here today.

551
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:09,535
[Judge Judy]
Sarah, you just saw an example

552
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:12,271
of courtroom television style,

553
00:21:12,338 --> 00:21:16,776
because sadly, I don't have the ability
to hold somebody in contempt,

554
00:21:16,843 --> 00:21:18,611
- which I would have done.
- We should look into that.

555
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:22,248
Yeah. Which I had--
which I have done very sparingly

556
00:21:22,315 --> 00:21:23,850
over the course of my whole career.

557
00:21:23,916 --> 00:21:26,853
But I gave this litigant
every opportunity,

558
00:21:26,919 --> 00:21:28,521
"Back up, let's try again.

559
00:21:28,588 --> 00:21:30,189
This is what your case is about."

560
00:21:30,256 --> 00:21:34,060
And once you see
that someone is an obstructionist,

561
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:38,097
there's only one order in a courtroom,

562
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:40,199
and that order has to come
from somebody.

563
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:43,036
If it's not from a judge,
it's gonna come from a litigant.

564
00:21:43,102 --> 00:21:45,972
And once you let a litigant take control
of the process,

565
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:47,974
then the process gets all screwed up.

566
00:21:48,041 --> 00:21:50,910
Anyway, good, good luck to him
in another--in another forum. (chuckles)

567
00:21:50,977 --> 00:21:51,811
Uh-hmm.

568
00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:54,681
