00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:49,549
contractually you supposed
to pay her, but why?
173
00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:51,050
Why pay bills
when they send them

00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:52,585

00:05:52,585 --> 00:05:56,155

00:05:58,157 --> 00:05:59,959
Annie, you got anything
to say, sweetheart?
178
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:02,762
- Yes, I would love
to get my money back
179
00:06:02,762 --> 00:06:04,897
so that we could pick up
our friendship,
180
00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:07,900
but this $3,000 is
standing in the way.
181
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,435
I want it.
- That's right.
182
00:06:09,435 --> 00:06:10,870
- And we can move forward.
183
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:13,339
- OK, Tristan.
Tell me what you need to say.
184
00:06:13,339 --> 00:06:14,941
- I just kind of want
to get it all behind us,
185
00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:17,977
but $3,000, I don't feel like
I'm entitled to pay all that.
186
00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:19,579
I never made any money.
187
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:21,781
And also she had her cars at
my house for a very long time.
188
00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:23,216
We never worked that out.
189
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,085
- Did you ever pay him
for parking at his house?
190
00:06:26,085 --> 00:06:28,421
- No, ma'am.
It was never discussed.
191
00:06:28,421 --> 00:06:31,057
- She colder than Vanessa
Williams on "Soul Food."
192
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:34,026
- Seven months and you didn't
give him one dime?
193
00:06:34,026 --> 00:06:36,529
- No.
audience: Ooh.
194
00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:39,665
- So, Tristan, you can't go
around here signing contracts
195
00:06:39,665 --> 00:06:41,334
and get home
and change your mind.
196
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:43,102
Now, had that been Suge Knight,
197
00:06:43,102 --> 00:06:46,139
you probably would have been
in a body bag.
198
00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:48,908
I mean, somehow, someway,
she worked hard for that money,
199
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:50,309
and she invested in you,
200
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:52,245
and she didn't get anything
on her return.
201
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:55,248
Now, Annie, if you know
anything about the industry,
202
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:58,718
$3,000 ain't no money
to go to no studio
203
00:06:58,718 --> 00:07:00,286
and shoot no video.
204
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:02,188
That stuff is expensive.
205
00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:04,090
Then you turn around
and parked your cars
206
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:06,392
at his house
for seven months for free.
207
00:07:06,392 --> 00:07:10,596
But you want him to pay you,
but you don't want to pay him.
208
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:13,266
I've heard enough and I'ma
settle this right now, OK?

Thank you, Your Honor.

is suing
245
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:21,935
his wife Domenique for $5,000
he loaned her to buy a car.
246
00:08:21,935 --> 00:08:24,571
He says the car was
to drive around their kids,
247
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:26,239
but instead she used the money
248
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:28,041
to put her boyfriend
in a new whip.
249
00:08:28,041 --> 00:08:30,844
Defendant Domenique Harden
says she intended
250
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:33,113
to buy a car with the $5,000,
251
00:08:33,113 --> 00:08:35,816
but instead she says
the money was a gift
252
00:08:35,816 --> 00:08:39,486
and she should be able to do
whatever she wants with it.
253
00:08:39,486 --> 00:08:41,421
- OK, are you Beau Harden?
- Yes, ma'am.
254
00:08:41,421 --> 00:08:43,690
- And you're Domenique Harden?
- Yes, ma'am.
255
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:45,359
- And how do y'all know
each other?
256
00:08:45,359 --> 00:08:46,460
- We're married.
- OK.
257
00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:47,594
I just wanted to make sure.
258
00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:49,129
So tell me
why we're here, Beau.
259
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:52,099
- I'm suing Domenique
for $5,000
260
00:08:52,099 --> 00:08:55,902
because she asked me to loan
her that money to get a car
261
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:59,039
so her and our kids can get
to where they need to go.
262
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:03,543
But she bought her boyfriend
the car with my money.
263
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:04,745
- Wait a minute.
Boyfriend?
264
00:09:04,745 --> 00:09:06,613
- So I need my coins back,
Ms. Pat.
265
00:09:06,613 --> 00:09:08,548
- Are you all in the process
of getting divorced?
266
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:09,750
Are you separated?
267
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:11,551
- We're separated
and we're in the process,
268
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:13,220
definitely now,
of getting a divorce.
269
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:14,955
- Domenique, I need
to hear from you.
270
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:18,892
- My soon-to-be ex-husband
gave me $5,000.
271
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,660
- Mm-hmm.
- My intentions were
272
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:23,230
to buy a car,
but the car I wanted to buy
273
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,898
was sold when I went back
to get it.
274
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:27,634
So I decided to use
the $5,000 on myself
275
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:29,669
and treat myself
and go on cruises and trips
276
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:31,571
and buy me some more stuff
that I wanted to get.
277
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:33,507
- Beau, do you have any proof
of this agreement?
278
00:09:33,507 --> 00:09:35,342
- [exhales]
I'm glad you asked, Ms. Pat,
279
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,177
because I have
the text messages.
280
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:39,780
- OK, well, Bailiff,
let me see them text messages.
281
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:42,048
Let's get to the bottom of it.
282
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:43,450
"Hey, you.
283
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:46,052
"Look, I know this might
throw you off a little bit,
284
00:09:46,052 --> 00:09:47,554
"being that we're
no longer together,
285
00:09:47,554 --> 00:09:50,056
"but since
we are still friends,
286
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:52,192
"I wanted to know
if you could help me out
287
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:53,427
"with getting this car.
288
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:55,328
"It's a Benz
that would look so fly,
289
00:09:55,328 --> 00:10:00,133
and I promise to pay you back
as soon as I get the money."
290
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,868
- I don't know where
them text messages came from.
291
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:03,737
They gotta be fake,
because I did not tell him
292
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:05,639
I was gonna pay no $5,000 back.
293
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,040
- How are you and the kids
294
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,241
getting around then,
in a buggy?
295
00:10:08,241 --> 00:10:10,577
- No, my new boyfriend
got a car.
296
00:10:10,577 --> 00:10:12,379
- When did your boyfriend
buy the car?
297
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:15,649
Before or after
he gave you the $5,000?
298
00:10:15,649 --> 00:10:18,218
- He bought it
after he gave me the $5,000.
299
00:10:18,218 --> 00:10:20,520
- Aha!
300
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,722
- I didn't buy my man a car
because he got his own job
301
00:10:22,722 --> 00:10:24,458
to buy his own car.
302
00:10:24,458 --> 00:10:26,760
- OK.
- Mm. Mm.
303
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,562
- This text message say
you was gonna buy a car,
304
00:10:28,562 --> 00:10:30,697
but you ended up
going on a cruise.
305
00:10:30,697 --> 00:10:32,365
- Right.
- Ms. Pat is good.
306
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:34,367
She got you to say
that's your text message.

308
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:42,075
Tell your boyfriend,
bring that car back.
309

[laughter]
310
00:10:43,577 --> 00:10:45,178
- When you changed
the plan for the money,
311
00:10:45,178 --> 00:10:46,346
you should have let him know.
312
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:48,381
- Why?
When he gave it to me,
313
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:50,283
I can do whatever I want--
- Let's back this thing up.
314
00:10:50,283 --> 00:10:52,986
It says,
"Will you loan me the money?"
315
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:55,589
Ain't no "gave" in here.
Ain't no G-A-V-E.
316
00:10:55,589 --> 00:10:57,824
I got a GED now.
317
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,626
I read it twice--
318
00:10:59,626 --> 00:11:02,395
one time incorrectly,
the second time correctly.

All right, jury,
what do you think?

[laughter]
325
00:11:13,306 --> 00:11:15,075
- This is your wife.
- Correct.
326
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:17,043
- What do you have
to say to her?
327
00:11:17,043 --> 00:11:22,449
- Honestly, I would say,
I wish we could work it out,
328
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:24,084
because when we said I do,
329
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:28,522
for better, for worse,
and all them vows that we said,
330
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:29,956
we need to honor that.
331
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:32,726
That's how I feel right now.
332
00:11:32,726 --> 00:11:34,060
- You want your family back?
333
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:35,128
- Of course.
334
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,596
- What do that mean to you?
335
00:11:36,596 --> 00:11:38,865
- I mean, I still love him too,
but I done moved on.
336
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:40,200
- Ooh.
337
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,369
- So 16 years of marriage
338
00:11:42,369 --> 00:11:43,970
you just let go down the drain?
339
00:11:43,970 --> 00:11:45,205
- I mean, it happens.
340
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:46,473
- But if you work at it,
341
00:11:46,473 --> 00:11:47,641
you might can make it work.
342
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:48,909
Have y'all tried counseling?
343
00:11:48,909 --> 00:11:51,077
- Yeah, we tried.
It didn't work.
344
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,280
- I hope this work out for you,
345
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,215
because a lot of times
346
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,984
we think the grass is greener
on the other side,

and it's not, baby.
348
00:11:59,786 --> 00:12:01,354
Now, I'm not saying
he's perfect,
349
00:12:01,354 --> 00:12:02,722
because he's small-framed
350
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:05,592
and he look like
a [indistinct].
351
00:12:05,592 --> 00:12:08,428
But what I do know...
[laughter]
352
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:11,264
Is your husband here
loves you, OK?
353
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:13,066
- OK.
- I hope you heal.
354
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,200
I hope you heal.
355
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,870
But you knew better.
356
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:19,339
You knew she had a boyfriend
when you loaned her this money.
357
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:22,943
She knew that other dude
didn't have $5,000 to give her.

He giving her other things,
but it's not money.
359
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:27,647
And you knew he would
give it to you,
360
00:12:27,647 --> 00:12:30,016
and what you did was use him.
361
00:12:30,016 --> 00:12:32,285
And what you did was
allow her to use you.
362
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:34,487
Grow up, Beau.
It's over.
363
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:35,889
Now, with that said,
364
00:12:35,889 --> 00:12:37,857

Beau, I cannot give you
your marriage back,

your money back.

suing her daughter Kaylah

00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:49,530
for $3,000.
399
00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:50,931
Sylvia watches Kaylah's kids
400
00:13:50,931 --> 00:13:53,133
and applied
for the 3K tax credit
401
00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:55,569
not knowing her daughter had
already claimed it.
402
00:13:55,569 --> 00:13:57,805
Now Sylvia is being audited
403
00:13:57,805 --> 00:13:59,239
because of
this misunderstanding,
404
00:13:59,239 --> 00:14:01,275
and she wants her daughter
to pay for it.
405
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:04,211
Defendant Kaylah Walton says
that it is not her fault
406
00:14:04,211 --> 00:14:06,313
and she is not
fiscally responsible
407
00:14:06,313 --> 00:14:09,416
for her mother being
in her financial flop era.
408
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:12,186
- Sylvia, can you please
tell us why we're here today?
409
00:14:12,186 --> 00:14:16,890
- I'm here today to sue
my daughter Kaylah for $3,000.
410
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:20,294
Kaylah chose to claim
the kids on the taxes
411
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:22,730
that I take care of.
412
00:14:22,730 --> 00:14:24,231
And we had an agreement.
413
00:14:24,231 --> 00:14:25,666
She's breached it.
414
00:14:25,666 --> 00:14:27,835
And I'm here to collect
my money today.
415
00:14:27,835 --> 00:14:30,337
- So did both of y'all end up
claiming the kids?
416
00:14:30,337 --> 00:14:32,573
- Yes, but I didn't
get the money.
417
00:14:32,573 --> 00:14:33,741
I got audited.
418
00:14:33,741 --> 00:14:36,443
audience: Ooh.
[laughter]
419
00:14:36,443 --> 00:14:38,946
- For you to claim kids--
I know because I be know--
420
00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:42,316
I know about that
earned income credit,
421
00:14:42,316 --> 00:14:43,917
those kids need to be with you
422
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:46,120
at least six months
out of the year.
423
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,389
- At least six months,
they're in my house,
424
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:49,656
they're eating my food.
425
00:14:49,656 --> 00:14:51,225
They may go home
and sleep with her,
426
00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:52,793
but I'm there with them.
427
00:14:52,793 --> 00:14:54,294
- Kaylah, tell me
your side of the story.
428
00:14:54,294 --> 00:14:55,996
You done came in this courtroom
with this new wig on,
429
00:14:55,996 --> 00:14:57,164
looking innocent.
- Ah.
430
00:14:57,164 --> 00:14:58,165
Well, thank you.
431
00:14:58,165 --> 00:15:00,000
I am innocent, Judge,
432
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,536
because the year
that I claimed my own taxes,
433
00:15:02,536 --> 00:15:05,773
I had my own job
and I made my own money.
434
00:15:05,773 --> 00:15:07,841
But we never had an agreement
435
00:15:07,841 --> 00:15:10,744
for the year
that I did claim my kids.
436
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:12,379
We did previously.
437
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,581
- Who was the kids living with?
438
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:16,183
- They may spend
the night with her,
439
00:15:16,183 --> 00:15:17,818
but to me, they live with me.
440
00:15:17,818 --> 00:15:19,253
- I got a question.
441
00:15:19,253 --> 00:15:21,755
Which house was the kids
going to school from?
442
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:23,056
- They go to school
from her house,
443
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:25,526
but my car leaves my house
to pick them up
444
00:15:25,526 --> 00:15:27,261
to take them to school.
445
00:15:27,261 --> 00:15:29,897
[laughter]
446
00:15:29,897 --> 00:15:31,265
[laughs]
447
00:15:31,265 --> 00:15:33,200
- You was claiming the kids
every year?
448
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,436
- Yes, for the last five years.
449
00:15:35,436 --> 00:15:38,338
- And, Kaylah,
why was you OK with this?
450
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:40,774
- I did have jobs
here and there,
451
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,910
but it wasn't, like,
a stable career.
452
00:15:42,910 --> 00:15:44,278
- For the last five years...
- Mm-hmm.
453
00:15:44,278 --> 00:15:45,813
- She had been
claiming these kids...
454
00:15:45,813 --> 00:15:47,214
- Mm-hmm.
- Taking care of you guys.
455
00:15:47,214 --> 00:15:49,183
You said,
"Mama, I'ma sit on my ass
456
00:15:49,183 --> 00:15:50,451
and let you claim my kids"
457
00:15:50,451 --> 00:15:53,687
whilst you were watching
soap operas.
458
00:15:53,687 --> 00:15:56,390
You get up one day and decide
to change your mind and say,
459
00:15:56,390 --> 00:15:58,158
you know what,
it's time for a new wig.
460
00:15:58,158 --> 00:15:59,426
I'ma go get my own job.
461
00:15:59,426 --> 00:16:00,861
And you had no idea, Mama,
462
00:16:00,861 --> 00:16:02,262
that she was gonna
change it up?
463
00:16:02,262 --> 00:16:04,164
- No.
- How much did you get
464
00:16:04,164 --> 00:16:06,400
in return for both of the kids
that year?
465
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,768
- I want to know that
too, Judge.
466
00:16:07,768 --> 00:16:08,936
I ain't heard that yet.
467
00:16:08,936 --> 00:16:10,337
- And you took an oath.
468
00:16:10,337 --> 00:16:11,505
- $10,000.
469
00:16:11,505 --> 00:16:13,240
- Damn!
- [screams]
470
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,275
- $10,000!
- You robbed your mama.
471
00:16:15,275 --> 00:16:17,544
- And you still got that wig?
472
00:16:17,544 --> 00:16:19,880
- You got ten grand
and got this cheap wig on?
473
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,048
Ten grand?
474
00:16:21,048 --> 00:16:22,649
[laughter]
475
00:16:24,652 --> 00:16:27,054
- Because Sylvia watches
her daughter Kaylah's kids,
476
00:16:27,054 --> 00:16:29,323
she tried to claim
a $3,000 tax credit,
477
00:16:29,323 --> 00:16:31,692
not knowing Kaylah had
already claimed it.
478
00:16:31,692 --> 00:16:35,196
Now Sylvia is being audited
and wants the 3K from Kaylah.
479
00:16:35,196 --> 00:16:36,931
But Kaylah says no way.
480
00:16:36,931 --> 00:16:39,800
So Ms. Pat is
about to settle it.
481
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,602
- How much did you get
in return
482
00:16:41,602 --> 00:16:43,204
for both of the kids that year?
483
00:16:43,204 --> 00:16:44,205
- $10,000.
484
00:16:44,205 --> 00:16:45,673
- Damn!
- [screams]
485
00:16:45,673 --> 00:16:47,608
- $10,000!
- You robbed your mama.
486
00:16:47,608 --> 00:16:49,210
- Ten grand?
487
00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:51,445
- Did you know she got $10,000?
- No.
488
00:16:51,445 --> 00:16:53,881
This is the first time
that I'm hearing that.
489
00:16:53,881 --> 00:16:55,649
- Can I get
the tax man information
490
00:16:55,649 --> 00:16:57,451
that did your taxes?
'Cause I'm trying to see
491
00:16:57,451 --> 00:16:58,819
if I can get ten grand back.
492
00:16:58,819 --> 00:16:59,987
Give me his number
after we leave.
493
00:16:59,987 --> 00:17:01,255
- Carmen, you don't
want her tax man.
494
00:17:01,255 --> 00:17:03,190
- And so you got $10,000
495
00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:04,558
and didn't give
your mother anything?
496
00:17:04,558 --> 00:17:05,926
- Ma'am, I have bills.
497
00:17:05,926 --> 00:17:07,728
- Your mama have bills also.
498
00:17:07,728 --> 00:17:10,197
- Mm-hmm.
She also had a nice job.
499
00:17:10,197 --> 00:17:13,401
Unfortunately, this was
my first time claiming taxes,
500
00:17:13,401 --> 00:17:15,269
and I wanted
to do my own thing.
501
00:17:15,269 --> 00:17:17,338
- All right.
I'm going to the jury.
502
00:17:17,338 --> 00:17:21,876
- I think that she should
give her mother the $3,000
503
00:17:21,876 --> 00:17:24,879
for claiming the kids that year
because she got audited.
504
00:17:24,879 --> 00:17:26,747
She about to be in jail
like Wesley Snipes.
505
00:17:26,747 --> 00:17:28,549
She can't be in there
with that body like that.
506
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:30,718
Uh-uh, they gonna
tear you apart in jail,
507
00:17:30,718 --> 00:17:32,286
your little cute self.
You're cute!
508
00:17:32,286 --> 00:17:33,721
- You know you wrong.
509
00:17:33,721 --> 00:17:35,790
The wig know you wrong.
We know you wrong.
510
00:17:35,790 --> 00:17:40,327
And so I believe that this
woman needs her three bands.
511
00:17:41,328 --> 00:17:43,030
- First of all,
I just want to say,
512
00:17:43,030 --> 00:17:45,933
as a grandmother who help out
with her grandkids,
513
00:17:45,933 --> 00:17:46,967
I can understand.
514
00:17:46,967 --> 00:17:48,335
Your mother's stepping in.
515
00:17:48,335 --> 00:17:49,603
And she's probably
buying clothes.
516
00:17:49,603 --> 00:17:50,771
She feeding the kids.
517
00:17:50,771 --> 00:17:52,706
She's tearing up her car
for you guys.
518
00:17:52,706 --> 00:17:54,141
She's going back and forth.
519
00:17:54,141 --> 00:17:56,177
Every time
your kids need something,
520
00:17:56,177 --> 00:17:58,279
I guarantee you call her.
521
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:00,147
I understand
those are your kids.
522
00:18:00,147 --> 00:18:03,184
You had the right
to file them on your taxes.
523
00:18:03,184 --> 00:18:06,120
But you also had the right
to tell your mother
524
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:09,557
that you was filing them
so she wouldn't get audited.
525
00:18:09,557 --> 00:18:12,893
But I gotta say, Ms. Webb,
you're the problem too,

because you keep stepping in
doing the same old thing.
527
00:18:15,996 --> 00:18:18,599
But sometimes you got
to let them hit bottom,
528
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:19,900
because if you don't,
529
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:22,770
she gonna take you
to the bottom with her.
530
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:24,238
Let her fall.
531
00:18:24,238 --> 00:18:25,606
She got a forehead.
