Taryn Stallworth,
and Quita Olaoluwa.

31

Lisa is suing her daughter
Taryn and cousin Quita

32

for $4,298 in child care,

33
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,319
unpaid loans,
and a trip to Los Angeles.

34
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,055
Taryn and Quita don't believe
they owe Lisa any money

35
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:30,157
because babysitting
was her idea

36
00:01:30,157 --> 00:01:32,859

to Los Angeles.

00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:38,799
Alright, Judge Harvey,
I would like for you to help me

40
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:40,968
teach these two young ladies
a lesson

41
00:01:40,968 --> 00:01:43,103
about learning
how to keep their word.

42
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:46,473
They had me babysitting
for not one trip, but two trips.

43
00:01:46,473 --> 00:01:49,176
Okay? They owe me
for babysitting fees.

44
00:01:49,176 --> 00:01:51,478
They also owe me for a loan
that I gave them

45
00:01:51,478 --> 00:01:53,246
while they went
on their trip.

46
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,882
And they promised me
a trip to L. A.

47
00:01:55,882 --> 00:01:57,751
So how much
are you suing for?

48
00:01:57,751 --> 00:02:02,189

And I need my money today.

You have 30 seconds to respond.

53
00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:14,267
Okay. I feel like I don't owe
because it was a gift.

54
00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:17,404
It was around birthdays.
And I don't get to go anywhere.

55
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:21,074
And my mom doesn't like to let
anyone else watch the kids.

56
00:02:21,074 --> 00:02:23,243
So it was a gift.

57
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:25,012
She wanted me to go out
and have fun.

58
00:02:25,012 --> 00:02:27,848
So I took that upon her word,
is it's a gift.

59
00:02:27,848 --> 00:02:29,549
So that's why I feel like
I don't owe.

60
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:32,753
And I definitely feel like
I don't owe her.

61
00:02:32,753 --> 00:02:35,622
I never agreed
to any type of payment

62

when it came
to the babysitting.

63
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,093
And then those
are not my kids, so...

64
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:42,329

on this relationship.

Lisa:
So, Taryn is my daughter.

66
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:46,967
Quita is my cousin,
but she's like my daughter

67
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:50,270
because she's been at my house
as much as my other kids have.

68
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:52,539
They're good girls.
They take me out.

00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:56,810
But I want them to understand
that they owe me for this money.

00:02:56,810 --> 00:02:58,478
So where did they go
the first trip?

71
00:02:58,478 --> 00:03:00,113
The first trip,
they went to Miami.

72

They were supposed to be
gone three to four days.

staying seven.

the children?

did you send Mommy any pictures?

pool, you'd want to take a dip.

511
00:20:07,073 --> 00:20:09,475
Am I right?
It's a -- It's a --
No!

512
00:20:09,475 --> 00:20:12,812
I can promise you...

513
00:20:12,812 --> 00:20:15,648
I ain't gonna wanna
take a dip in the pool.

514
00:20:15,648 --> 00:20:17,116
That's fine. That's fine.

515
00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:18,718
Did you ever
have girls over?

516
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:20,653
Yeah.
Sure, yeah.

517
00:20:20,653 --> 00:20:22,288
Pool parties were had
by that group.

518
00:20:22,288 --> 00:20:23,689
I was upstairs in the room

519
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:26,092
and reading whatever book
I was reading.

520
00:20:26,092 --> 00:20:28,294
I was not part
of the pool party.
That's false.

521
00:20:28,294 --> 00:20:29,695
I wanted no part of anyone

522
00:20:29,695 --> 00:20:31,230
who wants to be
part of that pool.

523
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,331
Sir.

524
00:20:32,331 --> 00:20:33,733
Not for me.
He's making that up.

525
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:38,003
Sir. Mr. John.
Take a drink.

526
00:20:38,003 --> 00:20:41,273
While they were
in the pool with women,

527
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,042
you were upstairs
reading a book.

528
00:20:43,042 --> 00:20:45,111
So, now summer's over.
What happened?

529
00:20:45,111 --> 00:20:48,647
My job was to be the primary
liaison for the landlord,

530
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:51,183
and he was not
happy at all.

531
00:20:51,183 --> 00:20:55,521
He felt that the damage
to the grass was --

532
00:20:55,521 --> 00:20:57,590
was absolutely,
like, irreparable.

533
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,125
Let's see it.

534
00:20:59,125 --> 00:21:00,626
[ Spectators gasp ]
Yeah.

535
00:21:00,626 --> 00:21:02,361
And the landlord
was not happy at all.

536
00:21:02,361 --> 00:21:04,263
He was actually
very, very upset.

537
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,532
But there was no grass
underneath the pool.
It was concrete.

538
00:21:06,532 --> 00:21:08,534
Yeah, 'cause you put
the pool on it.
On the concrete.

539
00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:11,003
Can we pull up the picture
of the pool again?

540
00:21:11,003 --> 00:21:13,439
Yes. Oh, absolutely.

541
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:16,742
Yes. Let's go back
to the picture.

542
00:21:16,742 --> 00:21:19,612
Let's see the picture
when the pool is gone.

543
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:20,813
Your Honor --

544
00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:24,083
Look at
that concrete.

545
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:27,620
This looks like something
that was on the grass

546
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:30,022
that prohibited it
from getting sun,

547
00:21:30,022 --> 00:21:32,124
which kills the grass.

548
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:36,061
Look. You've got
a security deposit of $4,700.

549
00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:39,698
Grass don't cost $4,700
for this amount.

550
00:21:39,698 --> 00:21:42,535
How did we lose
the security deposit?

551
00:21:42,535 --> 00:21:45,638
Because this angered
our landlord.

552
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:47,840
The charges were
a little punitive in nature.

553
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,277
I think we do have
the breakdown of the charges.

554
00:21:51,277 --> 00:21:52,878
Alright.
We got an e-mail.

555
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,914
"Saturday. We have completed
a final move-out inspection

556
00:21:54,914 --> 00:21:56,715
that reflects damages
and extra cost

557
00:21:56,715 --> 00:21:59,652
that is over the normal wear
and tear during your residency."

558
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:01,954
Rent, additional day, $151.

559
00:22:01,954 --> 00:22:04,623
Water bill for that period,
$205.

560
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:08,060
Trash removal, $263.
Grass repair, $160.

561
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:11,864
General contractor. $6,200?!

562
00:22:11,864 --> 00:22:14,867
The general contractor.
What is he in here fixing?

563
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,969
We scuffed the walls.

564
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:18,771
And by "we,"
I mean mostly Johnny.

565
00:22:18,771 --> 00:22:20,739
I'm not gonna say
I never scuffed the walls,

566
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:22,641
but there is a lot of stuff
that we have...

567
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:25,010
There's a flip on that.
Truly, he's describing himself.

568
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:27,146
If I'm gonna be 100% honest,
Kekoa was the one...

569
00:22:27,146 --> 00:22:29,114
We tried to repair it, and, you
know, I have a picture to show

570
00:22:29,114 --> 00:22:30,216
exactly what
that looked like.

571
00:22:30,216 --> 00:22:31,483
Let's see the picture.
Let's see that.

572
00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:33,052
[ Spectators exclaim ]

573
00:22:33,052 --> 00:22:36,055
So, this is what Johnny's
mark on the house was.

574
00:22:36,055 --> 00:22:38,924
Judge Steve,
those are three different feet.

575
00:22:38,924 --> 00:22:40,359
Look, they're all
different sizes.

576
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,460
You can't prove that.

577
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:43,329
See, let me show you
something, fellas.

578
00:22:43,329 --> 00:22:45,831
There was a point in my life
I actually thought

579
00:22:45,831 --> 00:22:48,400
I was gonna be a detective,
and then I found out

580
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,204
you can't be a police officer
with a police record.

581
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,506
[ Laughter ]

582
00:22:54,506 --> 00:22:57,843
But by the grace of God,
somehow I'm a judge.

583
00:22:57,843 --> 00:22:59,979
[ Laughter ]

584
00:23:02,414 --> 00:23:03,883
Look at the foot.

We're looking
at the actual photo.

See the skin color of the ankle?
That's your left foot.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

That's yours.

Steve: Look at the foot. We're
looking at the actual photo.

See the skin color of the ankle?
That's your left foot.

591
00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:25,337
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I submitted a photo

592
00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:27,106
of all of the guys
who lived in the lease.

593
00:23:27,106 --> 00:23:30,776
There we go. Let's see the
picture of all the guys in here.

594
00:23:30,776 --> 00:23:33,479
It could be someone else's foot,
folks.

There are several brown ankles
in this photo.

596

you must acquit.

What else you got?

00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:57,636
I want to bring up the video
of my witness, Ian.

605
00:23:57,636 --> 00:24:00,706
Alright. Let's see
what Ian has to say.

606
00:24:00,706 --> 00:24:02,675
Judge Steve Harvey,
Your Honor,

607
00:24:02,675 --> 00:24:04,410
I'm here today
to shed some light on this case

608
00:24:04,410 --> 00:24:06,812
and explain definitively
why Johnny is responsible

609
00:24:06,812 --> 00:24:08,547
for losing
our security deposit.

610
00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:10,149
John states that our pool
was the reason

611
00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:11,450
we lost our security deposit,

612
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,118
but this argument
holds no merit.

613
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,787
When looking
into the actual cause

614
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:16,555
of us losing
the security deposit,

615
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:18,958
John was clearly at fault,
as he was one of the dirtiest,

616
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:20,492
rowdiest members of the house.

617
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:22,061
He sawed my door in half

618
00:24:22,061 --> 00:24:24,396
with the intent
of installing a Dutch door.

619
00:24:24,396 --> 00:24:26,532
He justified this by
informing me, "I'll now be able

620
00:24:26,532 --> 00:24:29,068
to walk around my room
naked and carefree,

621
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,370
while communicating with my
roommates on the outside."

622
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:33,372
What?
I can show you exactly

623
00:24:33,372 --> 00:24:35,908
what he was talking about
with the "Dutch door,"

624
00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:39,611
and I have a video of Johnny
sawing his door in half.

625
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:41,513
A door that wasn't
part of the house.

626
00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:43,148
That was a door
that we bought.

627
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,517
But let's roll the clip.
I can explain myself.

628
00:24:47,152 --> 00:24:48,954
Woman: Wow.

629
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:51,924
Why?
Why did you do that?

630
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:53,926
What the [bleep]?

631
00:24:57,162 --> 00:24:59,164
That door
is a fake door.

632
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,767
We put in the real door
after this.

633
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:03,002
There's nothing fake about it,
Your Honor.

634
00:25:03,002 --> 00:25:05,037
That's the door
that Ian had to use

635
00:25:05,037 --> 00:25:06,672
because Johnny
sawed it in half.

636
00:25:06,672 --> 00:25:08,507
If that was true,
look at how --

637
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:10,442
Can we bring up
the charges again?

638
00:25:10,442 --> 00:25:13,946
Yeah. You know what I like
about this case?

639
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:16,315
You all have prepared it
for
me.

640
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:18,283
[ Applause ]

641
00:25:18,283 --> 00:25:20,019
I love this.

642
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:22,287
So, in this thing right here,
they itemize everything

643
00:25:22,287 --> 00:25:24,123
and then general contracting
at the end.

644
00:25:24,123 --> 00:25:27,726
If the door was in the house
when the check-in happened

645
00:25:27,726 --> 00:25:31,196
and it was halved, it would have
deserved a spot on this list,

646
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,731
just like the grass.

647
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:34,433
But there is no mention
of the door here,

648
00:25:34,433 --> 00:25:36,235
which means it was
either a fake door,

649
00:25:36,235 --> 00:25:38,804
which is what happened,
or removed by the time
the landlord got here...

650
00:25:38,804 --> 00:25:41,673
Let me ask both of you
this question right here.

651
00:25:41,673 --> 00:25:44,243
What did the landlord tell you

652
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:50,349
that the general contractor
was $6,275?

653
00:25:50,349 --> 00:25:54,486
Talk to me. I don't want
to hear nothing else

654
00:25:54,486 --> 00:25:56,722
except number five.

655
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:59,825
He said that primarily
the rest of the charges

656
00:25:59,825 --> 00:26:02,327
were scuffed floors
and messed-up paint.

657
00:26:02,327 --> 00:26:05,464
The messed-up paint
was also primarily Kekoa

658
00:26:05,464 --> 00:26:07,666
because he was in charge
of painting the walls.

659
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:10,102
Your Honor, I submitted a photo
of some of the damages

660
00:26:10,102 --> 00:26:12,304
that we collectively
had to repair.

661
00:26:12,304 --> 00:26:13,705
-Alright. Let's see.
-There go right there.

662
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:15,707
So, this is from
a dartboard,

663
00:26:15,707 --> 00:26:17,443
and he was in charge
of repairing it.

664
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:18,510
It was more than obvious

665
00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:21,046
that this was
a botched job on the fix.

666
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:24,783
Fellas, your money is
in this general contractor,

667
00:26:24,783 --> 00:26:26,552
number five.

668
00:26:26,552 --> 00:26:29,555
You don't bring me nothing
in here about number five.

669
00:26:29,555 --> 00:26:31,423
Judge Steve,
what I'm trying to make clear

670
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:32,825
is that I believe
number five

671
00:26:32,825 --> 00:26:35,027
would have been smaller
and we wouldn't have been

672
00:26:35,027 --> 00:26:37,096
nitpicked as hard
on the whole house

673
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:40,332
had we had a good relationship
with the landlord.

674
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:42,534
I was super-conscious
about not messing up the house.

675
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:44,937
Absolutely you were, John.

676
00:26:44,937 --> 00:26:47,739
Because I was the one that
had to talk to the landlord.

677
00:26:47,739 --> 00:26:49,608
I was always on the phone
with him.

678
00:26:49,608 --> 00:26:51,443
You were liaison
to the landlord.

679
