1. - You ain't never met
a judge like me.
Copy !req
2. - Your Honor, Your Honor.
Copy !req
3. - Shut the hell up, and let me
get this thing together.
Copy !req
4. Hey, y'all, I'm Ms. Pat.
Copy !req
5. I know the inside
of a courtroom.
Copy !req
6. Went to jail
for selling cocaine.
Copy !req
7. Now here I am 25 years later,
Copy !req
8. sitting on this side
of the bench.
Copy !req
9. - Put my faith in your hands.
Copy !req
10. - Don't put your faith
in my hand.
Copy !req
11. I ain't God.
I don't love you.
Copy !req
12. I'm using everything
I learned on the streets...
Copy !req
13. Don't nobody owe you nothing.
Copy !req
14. to solve disputes
that are tearing
Copy !req
15. real family and friends apart.
Copy !req
16. - I ain't care
that he find out.
Copy !req
17. What's his is mine.
- We ain't married.
Copy !req
18. - We brothers.
- Hey.
Copy !req
19. These are real cases
with real money on the line.
Copy !req
20. What did you do
with the $5,000?
Copy !req
21. - I'll—I'll let you know.
Copy !req
22. - Well, I'm here. Let me know.
Copy !req
23. And I'm bringing
my own family and friends
Copy !req
24. to court as my jurors.
Copy !req
25. Their opinions
are like diarrhea.
Copy !req
26. It belongs in the toilet.
Copy !req
27. - You're out of order.
Copy !req
28. Matter of fact, this whole
damn courtroom is out of order!
Copy !req
29. - Y'all may have started it,
but I'm gonna settle it.
Copy !req
30. - Let's just wrap this up,
because I'm
Copy !req
31. getting very irritated.
Copy !req
32. - You keep running your mouth,
Copy !req
33. you ain't going to get nothing.
Copy !req
34. Court is now in session.
Copy !req
35. Baby, don't do me.
Copy !req
36. Do Jesus,
Copy !req
37. 'cause he got more
patience with you, okay?
Copy !req
38. - All rise.
Copy !req
39. God may rest
on the seventh day.
Copy !req
40. This judge believes
in justice all week long.
Copy !req
41. The Honorable Ms. Pat.
Copy !req
42. - Y'all can sit down.
Copy !req
43. Jury, raise your right hand.
Copy !req
44. Do you swear to make me
not look like a fool?
Copy !req
45. - Wait.
Copy !req
46. You're confusing me.
Copy !req
47. - Do you swear to not
make me look like a fool?
Copy !req
48. - I can't.
- I—
Copy !req
49. - Bailiff, start bailiffing.
Copy !req
50. - This is the case of
Spaulding vs. Pleasants.
Copy !req
51. - Plaintiff Tommy Spaulding
is suing
Copy !req
52. his ex-best friend Elwood
for 3,500 bucks.
Copy !req
53. He claims Elwood was
pet sitting
Copy !req
54. two exotic animals he planned
to give his girlfriend
Copy !req
55. on Valentine's Day.
Copy !req
56. But he was wilding out
and lost the critters.
Copy !req
57. Defendant Elwood Pleasants
claims
Copy !req
58. it's a jungle out there,
Copy !req
59. and the animals were
actually stolen
Copy !req
60. by a con man on the corner.
Copy !req
61. He says Tommy is barking up
the wrong tree,
Copy !req
62. and he doesn't owe
the plaintiff anything.
Copy !req
63. - Okay.
Copy !req
64. Now, these are
a jury of my peers.
Copy !req
65. I may or may not
listen to them.
Copy !req
66. Their opinions are like
Jehovah Witness knocks.
Copy !req
67. I may or may not answer.
Copy !req
68. Okay, Tommy—
that's you, right?
Copy !req
69. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm Tommy Spaulding.
Copy !req
70. - Okay, all right.
I just asked your name.
Copy !req
71. - Okay.
- Calm down.
Copy !req
72. - Okay.
- You're Elwood, right?
Copy !req
73. - Yes.
Copy !req
74. - I don't think anybody else
can be Elwood but you.
Copy !req
75. All right, Tommy,
tell me why you're here.
Copy !req
76. - Today, I'm here suing
my ex-best friend over there,
Copy !req
77. looking like ET
going to church.
Copy !req
78. - Wow.
- You're going to say
Copy !req
79. your friend look like ET
when your hair
Copy !req
80. ain't been twisted
in at least nine years?
Copy !req
81. - You the judge, so I can't
get on you with all that.
Copy !req
82. - Okay, why are you here?
Copy !req
83. Why are you here?
Copy !req
84. - I had bought exotic pets.
Copy !req
85. It was a gift for Valentine's
Day for my girlfriend.
Copy !req
86. And I let him hold the pets.
Copy !req
87. And when I come back,
he don't know where they at.
Copy !req
88. And because she ain't get them,
she broke up with me.
Copy !req
89. And I'm out the money,
out a girl, and a friend.
Copy !req
90. - It was more than one pet?
Copy !req
91. - It was a pit bull,
and it was a finger monkey.
Copy !req
92. - A what?
Copy !req
93. - It's called a finger monkey.
- A finger monkey?
Copy !req
94. - Yeah, yeah,
they're real big in Florida.
Copy !req
95. - You had your finger
up his ass?
Copy !req
96. - No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
97. They wrap around your finger.
Copy !req
98. I have a picture
so you can see.
Copy !req
99. Because I know
it's kind of hard.
Copy !req
100. - What the?
Copy !req
101. - Aw, what was his name?
Copy !req
102. - His name was Bubble Junior.
Copy !req
103. - He looked like a Bubbles.
Copy !req
104. - And the pit bull
was named Wishbone.
Copy !req
105. - I know a dog is
a man's best friend.
Copy !req
106. But I have no idea what
a finger monkey is to you.
Copy !req
107. That sound like a sex toy.
Copy !req
108. What did Elwood say
when you got home?
Copy !req
109. - He was like, "Well, uh, I let
some man hold the animals.
Copy !req
110. "I turned around,
and he vanished.
Copy !req
111. And I never seen him again."
Copy !req
112. And so I'm just here today
to get my money back.
Copy !req
113. - Okay, Elwood,
what's going on here?
Copy !req
114. - Your Honor, I knew him
for about 15 years.
Copy !req
115. So he asked me pet sit them for
a little bit while he go out.
Copy !req
116. All right, cool pet.
Copy !req
117. I'm walking the dog
and the monkey.
Copy !req
118. I get some people coming around
me checking out the animal.
Copy !req
119. This guy came up,
asked to hold it.
Copy !req
120. - He wanted to hold, what,
the finger monkey?
Copy !req
121. - Hold the finger monkey,
yes, so I let him hold it.
Copy !req
122. And I go to turn my head
for a moment, and he ghosts.
Copy !req
123. - What?
Copy !req
124. - Crackhead ran off
with the monkey?
Copy !req
125. So you let—
- He dipped.
Copy !req
126. - A crackhead steal a monkey
and a pit bull from you?
Copy !req
127. - Look, I don't know.
Copy !req
128. I just know they're
hard to catch.
Copy !req
129. I don't know.
Copy !req
130. - You should never let
a stranger touch your monkey.
Copy !req
131. Do you ever think that
Elroy did a switch on you
Copy !req
132. and probably sold the damn
monkey and the pit bull?
Copy !req
133. - You know, Your Honor, we've
been friends for so, so long.
Copy !req
134. I would never have
thought that.
Copy !req
135. But maybe you're right.
Maybe he got me.
Copy !req
136. - Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
137. - Did you have
all of that bling
Copy !req
138. before or after the
finger monkey was stolen?
Copy !req
139. - Ooh!
- You know what?
Copy !req
140. He got a good point,
'cause he never did.
Copy !req
141. - I mean, I got it
from a friend.
Copy !req
142. - Yeah, the crackhead?
Copy !req
143. - I ain't never heard of
a crackhead that runs fast.
Copy !req
144. - You ain't never
been to the hood.
Copy !req
145. - Crackhead—byoom!
Copy !req
146. - Yeah, but, no.
Copy !req
147. - I sold a lot of crack.
Copy !req
148. Crackheads are fast.
Copy !req
149. - We got to talk.
Copy !req
150. - No, we don't have to talk.
Copy !req
151. - No, we don't have to talk.
Copy !req
152. I'm on the other side
of the law.
Copy !req
153. Okay, Tommy, before
I make my decision—
Copy !req
154. - Okay.
- What do you have to say?
Copy !req
155. - I have to say that
if that was me,
Copy !req
156. I would have just
paid him his money
Copy !req
157. and kept our friendship good.
Copy !req
158. He should have had integrity.
Copy !req
159. But if he not have integrity,
then we out here
Copy !req
160. to see if you gonna
do the right thing.
Copy !req
161. So I'll put my faith
in your hands.
Copy !req
162. - Wow.
Copy !req
163. - Don't put your faith
in my hand.
Copy !req
164. I ain't God.
I don't love you.
Copy !req
165. - That's all good.
Copy !req
166. - All right, let me settle
this once and for all.
Copy !req
167. Tommy, I believe
you stole the monkey.
Copy !req
168. And he lost the monkey.
Copy !req
169. You know, you probably got
that monkey on a hookup.
Copy !req
170. But you want to come in here
Copy !req
171. and get full price
from somebody who can't even
Copy !req
172. hardly keep his eyes open.
Copy !req
173. You're so sleepy
that Frosty chain
Copy !req
174. is about to break your neck.
Copy !req
175. And you over there
blinging for nothing.
Copy !req
176. You shouldn't bring that kind
of attention to yourself.
Copy !req
177. Wake up.
Copy !req
178. Now, let me settle
this once and for all.
Copy !req
179. I'm ruling in favor of...
Copy !req
180. the plaintiff.
Copy !req
181. - Yes.
- Yes.
Copy !req
182. - Elwood's gonna give you half,
which is $1,750.
Copy !req
183. It's only because he admitted
he lost the monkey and the dog.
Copy !req
184. But I only believe half
of your shit.
Copy !req
185. Case closed.
Copy !req
186. And please get your hair
done with that money.
Copy !req
187. - You got it. You got it.
Copy !req
188. I will.
Copy !req
189. - You are dismissed.
Copy !req
190. - Forever.
Copy !req
191. I think there's
something creepy
Copy !req
192. about all of these Black men
wanting finger monkeys.
Copy !req
193. - My finger is happy with
the monkey it's already got.
Copy !req
194. - And you sitting here
saying you don't feel
Copy !req
195. like you should pay her back,
because she had a good time.
Copy !req
196. You didn't go.
Copy !req
197. All your baby had
was the shits.
Copy !req
198. - Is that the same
Ms. Parker from "Friday"?
Copy !req
199. - She bad like her.
Copy !req
200. - Hey, Ms. Parker.
Copy !req
201. Ms. Parker. Ms. Parker.
Copy !req
202. I had to do it.
Copy !req
203. I had to, Judge.
Copy !req
204. - All right, jury,
pay attention,
Copy !req
205. so we can show these TV court
folks what we made of, okay?
Copy !req
206. - Okay.
Copy !req
207. - Absolutely.
- Y'all ready?
Copy !req
208. - Super professional.
- Amen.
Copy !req
209. - All right, bailiff,
give me another case.
Copy !req
210. - This is the case
of Evans v. Hardy.
Copy !req
211. - Plaintiff Allison Evans
is suing her cousin
Copy !req
212. for 3,500 bucks for bailing
on her birthday cruise
Copy !req
213. at the last minute after
she prepaid for both of them.
Copy !req
214. Defendant Sha'Ree Hardy says
her daughter got sick
Copy !req
215. the day of the trip,
Copy !req
216. and she couldn't go
on a hot-girl cruise
Copy !req
217. with her boatload
of baby problems.
Copy !req
218. - Okay, Allison,
why are you here today?
Copy !req
219. - I am suing my cousin
for $3,500.
Copy !req
220. We were going on a
seven-day cruise to Jamaica.
Copy !req
221. She flaked on me, but we
both agreed to the trip.
Copy !req
222. And she agreed to the total,
Copy !req
223. but I still haven't got
my money back.
Copy !req
224. - So, Allison, you fronted
the money for the trip, right?
Copy !req
225. - Yes, I did.
Copy !req
226. She was supposed to pay me back
before we went on the trip,
Copy !req
227. so that way I could have
my extra spending money.
Copy !req
228. - Sha'Ree, is this true,
what she's saying about you?
Copy !req
229. - Yes, it's true.
Copy !req
230. I did agree
with going on the trip.
Copy !req
231. Yes, I did.
Copy !req
232. But unfortunately,
I had to cancel
Copy !req
233. because my daughter was sick.
Copy !req
234. And I didn't have no one
to watch her at the time.
Copy !req
235. I love her to death, but
I don't feel like, you know,
Copy !req
236. I owe her the $3,500.
Copy !req
237. - How long have you guys
known each other?
Copy !req
238. - We're cousins.
Copy !req
239. - First, second, or third?
Copy !req
240. - First.
Copy !req
241. - Third, you can
marry each other.
Copy !req
242. So tell me what happened
on the day you got
Copy !req
243. ready to leave for the trip.
Copy !req
244. - I'm up. I'm excited.
Copy !req
245. I'm dancing all around.
Copy !req
246. I'm calling Sha'Ree—
no answer.
Copy !req
247. finally went ahead
and went to the airport.
Copy !req
248. I'm about to get on the plane.
I get a text message.
Copy !req
249. "Hey, cuz, I won't
be able to make it.
Copy !req
250. "Maya is sick.
Copy !req
251. I'll talk to you later."
Copy !req
252. What?
Copy !req
253. - We had a
communication problem.
Copy !req
254. - Yeah, you didn't call.
Copy !req
255. - Yeah, I called.
- Communication problem.
Copy !req
256. - You didn't answer,
and I text you back.
Copy !req
257. That's how you got the text.
Copy !req
258. - So she got sick one hour
before the flight left.
Copy !req
259. This is when you found out.
Copy !req
260. - No, she got sick
the night before.
Copy !req
261. - The night before?
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
262. And I said if she's not feeling
better by the time we get up,
Copy !req
263. then I'm not going to have—
Copy !req
264. I'm going to have
to decline this trip.
Copy !req
265. And I hate to do this.
Copy !req
266. - Who you say that to?
The wall? Your mind? Jesus?
Copy !req
267. - No.
Copy !req
268. - The devil?
- No, ma'am.
Copy !req
269. - Do you got any receipts?
Copy !req
270. - I do have some evidence.
Copy !req
271. - Let me see the receipts.
Copy !req
272. Mm. That's a lot of money—
Copy !req
273. $3,500 for a trip
Copy !req
274. that somebody
didn't show up to.
Copy !req
275. - So was it 3,500
for two people,
Copy !req
276. or was it 7,000
for two people?
Copy !req
277. - 7,000.
- It was 7,000.
Copy !req
278. - So 7,000 for two people.
Copy !req
279. Ooh, so you came up
off seven stacks.
Copy !req
280. - And what cruise line did
y'all go on for $3,500?
Copy !req
281. 'Cause my friend be
taking them $89 cruise.
Copy !req
282. She don't always make it
back on the boat.
Copy !req
283. - I'm going to say
she probably fell off.
Copy !req
284. - With this being such
an expensive trip,
Copy !req
285. did you get any insurance?
Copy !req
286. - That's what I was saying.
Copy !req
287. - I didn't do
the trip insurance,
Copy !req
288. only because I've never been
on a cruise.
Copy !req
289. I really didn't have
too much knowledge
Copy !req
290. about it or whatever.
Copy !req
291. I should have researched
it a little bit better.
Copy !req
292. - Sha'Ree.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
293. - You was going
to go on this trip.
Copy !req
294. So if you were going to pay
before you got on the ship,
Copy !req
295. where's the money?
Copy !req
296. - She was pissed, like,
as if I wasn't go—
Copy !req
297. like I was lying
about my child.
Copy !req
298. - You didn't even
have the decency
Copy !req
299. to call her that night
when you found out
Copy !req
300. that your daughter was sick.
Copy !req
301. She had at least 24 hours
to find somebody
Copy !req
302. to take your place
or try to work something out
Copy !req
303. with the cruise line
if you could really
Copy !req
304. prove that the baby was sick.
Copy !req
305. - Your Honor,
I love my cousin to pieces,
Copy !req
306. and I understand her.
Copy !req
307. But it's the way
she was coming—
Copy !req
308. - Wait a minute. Hold on.
- I know she was livid.
Copy !req
309. - But I was like, well,
let me just let her calm down.
Copy !req
310. - How long have you
left her calming down?
Copy !req
311. 'Cause you ain't
paid this lady.
Copy !req
312. - About six to eight months.
Copy !req
313. - Well, damn.
Copy !req
314. - Oh.
Copy !req
315. - Chile.
Copy !req
316. - Why do you think you
shouldn't pay her back?
Copy !req
317. - Because I didn't
get to enjoy myself.
Copy !req
318. And I know she had
a great time.
Copy !req
319. - Hold up.
Copy !req
320. And you sitting here
saying you don't feel
Copy !req
321. like you should pay her back
because she had a good time.
Copy !req
322. You didn't go.
Copy !req
323. All your baby had
was the shits.
Copy !req
324. You could have left
that baby at home.
Copy !req
325. So what is the logistic
of you paying her back?
Copy !req
326. Or why haven't
you paid her back?
Copy !req
327. - I'm working on it.
I'm telling you.
Copy !req
328. I'm working on it.
Copy !req
329. - You better drive Uber.
Copy !req
330. I feel like she was
ever going to go,
Copy !req
331. 'cause she didn't
have no intentions
Copy !req
332. on giving her her money.
Copy !req
333. I want to see the receipts
from the baby being sick.
Copy !req
334. - I ain't got no receipts
for all of that.
Copy !req
335. But I did have great intentions
of going with my cousin.
Copy !req
336. - All right. I've heard enough.
Copy !req
337. I'm going to make a decision.
Copy !req
338. Sha'Ree.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
339. - You didn't care.
Copy !req
340. You cared about yourself,
and she wasted $3,500.
Copy !req
341. You were selfish.
Copy !req
342. And you ruined a relationship,
and you hurt your cousin.
Copy !req
343. Look at her.
Look at you.
Copy !req
344. - I understand.
- Look at your cousin.
Copy !req
345. - And I don't like
to see her like that.
Copy !req
346. Like I said,
we was thick as thieves.
Copy !req
347. Like that—
- Well, then tell her that.
Copy !req
348. Don't tell me,
'cause I don't love you.
Copy !req
349. Tell her that.
Copy !req
350. - Well, I didn't mean
to hurt you.
Copy !req
351. And I really feel messed up.
Copy !req
352. And I do feel remorse
for what I did.
Copy !req
353. And at the end of the day,
I should have just paid you.
Copy !req
354. - Why are you so emotional?
Copy !req
355. - I mean, I love my cousin.
Copy !req
356. You know, it was just
the fact that I trusted her.
Copy !req
357. And she did me like that.
Copy !req
358. - I've had family members
who hurt me like that too.
Copy !req
359. That's why I never loan money.
Copy !req
360. Now, let me settle this
once and for all.
Copy !req
361. I'm gonna rule in favor of...
Copy !req
362. I'm gonna rule in favor of...
Copy !req
363. Allison.
Copy !req
364. And a judgment of $3,500.
Copy !req
365. - Thank you.
Copy !req
366. - You're a grown-ass woman.
Copy !req
367. You know you know better.
Copy !req
368. - Okay, ladies,
you can just go ahead
Copy !req
369. and cruise on out of here.
Copy !req
370. - You know, I would have
left my child.
Copy !req
371. I would get him some Benadryl
and been on that plane.
Copy !req
372. - I got into
a whole car accident,
Copy !req
373. got to the hospital,
and found out that
Copy !req
374. I did not have
health insurance.
Copy !req
375. - Sydnei got a new job,
and she had the opportunity
Copy !req
376. to get her own benefits.
Copy !req
377. So for her to say
that I owe her,
Copy !req
378. because she didn't have
health insurance,
Copy !req
379. no, no, no, doll.
Copy !req
380. - You do the motto
that I live by.
Copy !req
381. them kids.
Copy !req
382. - All right, put your fan up.
Copy !req
383. Energy, energy, energy.
Come on.
Copy !req
384. Come on, jury.
Copy !req
385. - Okay.
- We all the way live and lit.
Copy !req
386. - Yeah, I know you is.
Copy !req
387. - We're happy to be here.
- Let's go.
Copy !req
388. Bailiff, start bailiffing.
Copy !req
389. - All right, this is the case
of Parker v. Parker.
Copy !req
390. - Plaintiff Sharnissa Parker
is an old-school principal
Copy !req
391. who's given her daughter an F
Copy !req
392. over an unpaid phone bill
that cost her $476.
Copy !req
393. Defendant Sydnei Parker
claims her mom is
Copy !req
394. no class act herself,
after she left her uninsured
Copy !req
395. and she had to pay
medical bills out of pocket.
Copy !req
396. Sydnei thinks
the principal is the one
Copy !req
397. who deserves detention,
not her.
Copy !req
398. - Let's get started.
Copy !req
399. Bailiff, start bailiffing.
Copy !req
400. Oh, I got it. It's my turn.
Copy !req
401. - Who name up there?
Copy !req
402. You need to settle this shit,
not me.
Copy !req
403. - All right, Sharnissa,
can you please
Copy !req
404. tell me why you're here today?
Copy !req
405. - Your Honor, I'm here today
to sue my daughter,
Copy !req
406. Sydnei Parker, for $476 for
an outstanding cell phone bill.
Copy !req
407. We had an agreement
that I would cover
Copy !req
408. her health insurance,
and she would
Copy !req
409. cover the cell phone bill.
Copy !req
410. I had to pay that bill
some of those months.
Copy !req
411. So I'm here today
to sue Sydnei for $476.
Copy !req
412. - Do you have the bill here?
Copy !req
413. - Yes, Your Honor, I sure do.
Copy !req
414. - Bailiff, can you give me
that bill, please?
Copy !req
415. I don't mind taking bills
when they ain't mine.
Copy !req
416. Mm.
Copy !req
417. So, Sydnei,
why are you here?
Copy !req
418. - I'm here because
I shouldn't have
Copy !req
419. to pay her anything
considering,
Copy !req
420. as she said,
we had an arrangement.
Copy !req
421. She reneged and did
not finish her part
Copy !req
422. of the bargain,
which was to keep me
Copy !req
423. on her health insurance.
Copy !req
424. I got into
a whole car accident,
Copy !req
425. got to the hospital,
and found out
Copy !req
426. that I did not have
health insurance.
Copy !req
427. - You paid the bill.
- I paid $1,600.
Copy !req
428. - Do you have proof of
the bill that you paid?
Copy !req
429. - I do have proof of that.
Copy !req
430. - Let me see the proof
of the bill that you paid.
Copy !req
431. Thank you, Bailiff.
Copy !req
432. - That's just
the hospital bill.
Copy !req
433. That's not chiropractor
appointments,
Copy !req
434. x-ray appointments.
That's what—
Copy !req
435. - You paid this bill in full?
Copy !req
436. - Out of pocket, yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
437. - So, Sharnissa,
let me ask you this.
Copy !req
438. Why has it come to this—
you suing your own baby?
Copy !req
439. - It's the principle of it.
Copy !req
440. She's definitely not a baby.
Copy !req
441. She's definitely a big girl,
who's out in the world
Copy !req
442. as a professional.
Copy !req
443. Sydnei got a new job,
and she had the opportunity
Copy !req
444. to get her own benefits.
Copy !req
445. I got a new job and could
get different benefits.
Copy !req
446. When I saw the price premium
on carrying an adult child
Copy !req
447. with you and by yourself,
I said, you know
Copy !req
448. what, this is a prime time.
Copy !req
449. You got a new job.
Copy !req
450. Sign up for your benefits.
Copy !req
451. You're going to be 26.
Copy !req
452. I can't carry you anymore.
Copy !req
453. I informed Sydnei
her benefits with me
Copy !req
454. would be over September 1.
Copy !req
455. So it was after that date.
Copy !req
456. So for her to say that
I owe her
Copy !req
457. because she didn't have
health insurance—
Copy !req
458. no, no, no, doll.
Copy !req
459. - Your mama don't play.
Copy !req
460. What was you—ma'am,
you was in the military?
Copy !req
461. - No, ma'am, I'm an educator.
Copy !req
462. I used to be a principal.
Copy !req
463. I still am a principal.
Copy !req
464. So this is all about
standing on principle.
Copy !req
465. I teach lessons daily.
Copy !req
466. - You do the motto
that I live by.
Copy !req
467. them kids.
Copy !req
468. - I called her in May,
so Mother's Day.
Copy !req
469. Because I'm not bitter.
- You're not petty.
Copy !req
470. - I called to wish her
a happy Mother's Day.
Copy !req
471. And that's when she told me
that she was suing me.
Copy !req
472. - Happy Mother's Day.
Copy !req
473. - Plaintiff Sharnissa Parker
is suing her daughter, Sydnei,
Copy !req
474. for a $476 unpaid phone bill.
Copy !req
475. But Sydnei claims she didn't
pay the bill because her mom
Copy !req
476. dropped her
from her health insurance
Copy !req
477. when Sydnei got a new job.
Copy !req
478. Ms. Pat is about to settle it.
Copy !req
479. - Sydnei, what is your
version of this story?
Copy !req
480. - So first of all, the new job
that she's referring to
Copy !req
481. did not start until
October 1st.
Copy !req
482. I got into my car accident,
I think, September 16th.
Copy !req
483. So I couldn't even get
new health insurance
Copy !req
484. until October 1st,
which she knew.
Copy !req
485. I found out when I got—
literally—
Copy !req
486. got into the accident,
called my dad, called her,
Copy !req
487. said, hey, I just got into
a car accident.
Copy !req
488. The ambulance is here.
Copy !req
489. They said, don't get
in the ambulance.
Copy !req
490. 'Cause, you know,
the bill kind of high.
Copy !req
491. And then I said,
do I have health insurance?
Copy !req
492. She said no.
I get there.
Copy !req
493. I hand them the card.
Copy !req
494. They said, this is not valid.
Copy !req
495. What do you mean?
It's not valid.
Copy !req
496. I had to get
an x-ray on my hip.
Copy !req
497. - Why wouldn't you pay
the $1,600 hospital bill?
Copy !req
498. - Yeah, I didn't know
nothing about it.
Copy !req
499. This was new when
she told me about this.
Copy !req
500. - She paid—
she paid the $1,600.
Copy !req
501. - I don't know.
She didn't mention it to me.
Copy !req
502. - So you never
called your mother
Copy !req
503. and say, hey, since my
insurance didn't go through,
Copy !req
504. you need to pay
this $1,600 bill?
Copy !req
505. - No, I was just going
to take the L
Copy !req
506. and charge it to the game.
Copy !req
507. - So if she was going
to take the L
Copy !req
508. and charge it to the game,
why didn't you take the L
Copy !req
509. and charge it to the game?
- I was.
Copy !req
510. That's why she didn't
find out until May.
Copy !req
511. But it took me two months.
Copy !req
512. And I was like, no,
I can't let this one ride.
Copy !req
513. - That don't make sense.
Copy !req
514. - It's working on my soul.
Copy !req
515. - After y'all had
this whole blowout thing,
Copy !req
516. how long has it been
since y'all spoken?
Copy !req
517. - I cut her off in February.
Copy !req
518. I called her in May,
so Mother's Day,
Copy !req
519. because I'm not bitter.
- You're not petty.
Copy !req
520. - I called her to wish her
a happy Mother's Day.
Copy !req
521. And that's when she told me
that she was suing me.
Copy !req
522. - Happy Mother's Day.
Copy !req
523. - I got a quick question
before I close this out.
Copy !req
524. What was it like, Sydnei,
growing up with your mom?
Copy !req
525. - She's an educator.
Copy !req
526. You see the energy here.
Copy !req
527. That's her 24/7.
Copy !req
528. - Is that the same
Ms. Parker from "Friday"?
Copy !req
529. - She bad, like—
Copy !req
530. "Hey, Ms. Parker."
Copy !req
531. That's my mama.
Copy !req
532. - Sharnissa, why are you
so hard on your daughter?
Copy !req
533. - She's my oldest.
Copy !req
534. I love her to death.
Copy !req
535. She reminds me of me.
- Now she crying.
Copy !req
536. - She's the second coming
of me.
Copy !req
537. She's my—
the best version of me.
Copy !req
538. I gave her everything she
needed, so she could just
Copy !req
539. grow up and be this
wonderful adult.
Copy !req
540. She's everything
a mom could have asked for.
Copy !req
541. I love her to death.
Copy !req
542. - So if she's such
a good daughter,
Copy !req
543. why are you in here suing her?
Copy !req
544. - I'm standing
on principle now.
Copy !req
545. I'm still Sharnissa
at the end of the day.
Copy !req
546. - Boy, them tears
went back real quick
Copy !req
547. when I talk about—
Copy !req
548. - You got to quit, baby.
Copy !req
549. - Baby, I cry,
but I need that money.
Copy !req
550. - Damn right.
Copy !req
551. - I understand the whole
mom and daughter relationship.
Copy !req
552. Because I got girls, and they
get on my damn nerve, okay?
Copy !req
553. You can never, ever
get along with them fully.
Copy !req
554. I don't know what it's
about in our stomach,
Copy !req
555. where our uterus
and womb connect.
Copy !req
556. And we go to hate each other.
Copy !req
557. So I'm going to rule.
Copy !req
558. And neither one
of y'all get nothing,
Copy !req
559. 'cause I think
you should go out
Copy !req
560. and have a spa day together.
Copy !req
561. Let your hair down, relax,
Copy !req
562. and realize how much
you love each other.
Copy !req
563. And guess what?
Copy !req
564. The spa day is on me.
Copy !req
565. - Aw.
- Thank you, Ms. Pat.
Copy !req
566. Ms. Parker. Ms. Parker.
Copy !req
567. - Well, y'all welcome
to leave now
Copy !req
568. before Ray J
gets y'all pregnant.
Copy !req
569. - I had to do it.
Copy !req
570. I had to, Judge.
Copy !req
571. - Y'all are dismissed.
Copy !req
572. - Ray J, get your
nasty-ass feet off of my bench.
Copy !req
573. - You know what?
Copy !req
574. I don't even know
how it got there.
Copy !req
575. - You got catfished
and carjacked
Copy !req
576. all in the same day.
Copy !req
577. - It wasn't a catfish.
Copy !req
578. She was real.
- No, she wasn't.
Copy !req
579. That's why she ran
away from you.
Copy !req
580. Have you ever had
sex with that—
Copy !req
581. I mean, him?
- I would never ever.
Copy !req
582. I would never ever
on the devil's bed.
Copy !req
583. - For real?
Copy !req
584. - Please tell me
she didn't leave no stain.
Copy !req
585. - She did,
so I put a camera in.
Copy !req
586. And sure enough—
Copy !req
587. - Ooh!
Copy !req
