Ms. Pat Settles It 2x15

1. - Hey, y'all. I'm Ms. Pat.

2. - All rise.

3. - And I know the inside of a courtroom.

4. I'm a convicted felon with a GED.

5. Now I'm sitting on this side of the bench.

6. Y'all are killing me.

7. These are real cases with real money on the line,

8. and I'm bringing my own friends to court as my jury.

9. - What is this, Looney Tunes?

10. - Y'all may have started this mess,

11. but I'm gonna settle it.

12. - I love this courtroom!

13. - All rise, 'cause court is back in session.

14. - All rise for the human lie detector, Ms. Pat.

15. - Y'all can have a seat.

16. How y'all doing today, jury?

17. - Good, sis. How are you doing?

18. - I've been injured in a car accident.

19. You're about to be part of a class action lawsuit.

20. - What do you want me to do?

21. You want to stand in front of my truck and I run you over?

22. - No further questions.

23. - Let's get this party started.

24. - This is the case of Helms versus Helms.

25. You may now enter.

26. - Plaintiff Special Helms is suing

27. her brother Spencer for $4,000

28. after he borrowed her car and crashed it.

29. She claims he pocketed the whole insurance payment

30. and didn't give her a penny.

31. But defendant Spencer Helms claims he technically

32. owns the car because he cosigned the note,

33. and the car is in his name.

34. So he's keeping the cash, and his sis can catch the bus.

35. - Before we get started, I just want to let y'all know

36. this is a jury of my peers.

37. I may or may not use them.

38. So don't look over there.

39. Focus on me.

40. They're only here to troll your ass.

41. OK, Special, tell me why we're here today.

42. - I'm here suing my brother for $4,000 because he wrecked

43. my car, totaled it out.

44. He literally left for work.

45. Five minutes later, he called.

46. Oh, Special, you gonna be mad.

47. I already knew what it was.

48. So I got my neighbor to take me down there.

49. Police didn't want to talk to me because he was driving.

50. And he was a cosigner on the car,

51. so the police talking to him.

52. He wrecked the car.

53. Insurance company talking to him.

54. He got the money.

55. - What?

56. - And I never saw a dime of it.

57. - What kind of car is it?

58. - It was a 2017 Volkswagen. It was a Jetta.

59. - Oh, I used to love those Jettas.

60. - Mm-hmm.

61. - That's how I learned how to drive, in a Jetta,

62. with a stick shift from a crackhead.

63. Tell me what's going on, Spencer.

64. - OK.

65. It was time for me to go to work.

66. She laid on the chair asleep.

67. I'm asking her, you want to take me to work?

68. I got to go to work. She's like, no, you go.

69. So she just threw me the keys, jumped in the car,

70. and I just drove.

71. Literally I didn't even make it five minutes down the road,

72. and old white lady came, turned the U, ran the light,

73. and hit me from the side.

74. - Y'all always blaming stuff on old white women.

75. Did you get a ticket, Spencer?

76. - No, I didn't.

77. It wasn't my fault. She hit me.

78. The police report said she was at fault.

79. - I don't understand why you just didn't

80. go get the car on your own.

81. - 'Cause she couldn't.

82. And that's why she called me.

83. - He cosigned on mine.

84. I got a little off of it, and I didn't have to put down

85. as much of a down payment.

86. - And what was the monthly note?

87. - I was paying, like, $285 a month.

88. - I'ma ask you a real simple question.

89. How much money did you put into this vehicle?

90. - Uh, my signature.

91. That was it.

92. - So why did you feel like you was entitled to that money?

93. - I did it because it was my sister.

94. I didn't care. She needed a car.

95. She wanted the car.

96. So I drove down there, and I did it for her.

97. But at the end of the day,

98. the police said I wasn't at fault.

99. The man put the car in my name.

100. - Excuse me.

101. - I can't help it if I'm blessed and highly

102. favored by the lord. - Bye.

103. - Spencer.

104. I mean, what kind of brother are you?

105. - The same brother that drove two hours from college

106. to cosign on the car for her.

107. It ain't my fault the man who did it at the dealership

108. switched the paperwork around and put me as the buyer

109. and that not her.

110. - If she did that, would you be all right, though?

111. If a check came in her name for you,

112. you'd be like, that ain't nothing?

113. - I wouldn't have cared about it—

114. - Wow. - I would have let it slide.

115. - You lying, young Busta Rhymes.

116. - You let him take your $4,000.

117. You don't do nothing? - Not nothing.

118. But at the same time, it's like trying

119. to explain anything to him, just leave the other stuff.

120. - What did he spend the money on?

121. - That's what I was finna ask.

122. - A bunch of nothing, I guess.

123. - Pajama shirts like he got on now?

124. - Yeah.

125. - I got to go to my jury. Come on, Karl.

126. I'ma start with you on this one.

127. - First of all, Ms. Pat, I ain't

128. even gonna waste your time.

129. Whatever your judgment gonna be, he gonna default.

130. He ain't gonna pay.

131. - You have no remorse.

132. And all you sit here and do is try to act like it's OK

133. for you to rob this woman.

134. - I need you to know how bad it is right now, bro.

135. It's so bad that the camera people

136. over there doing this to you.

137. They can't even talk, and they going like this.

138. - So any final words?

139. - I'm not trying to make him sound like a bad person,

140. what he thinks, because I will say—

141. - Stop taking up for him. - I'm not.

142. But I will say as long as it ain't money related,

143. he's actually a good dude.

144. He is.

145. - Any final words before I make my decision, Spencer?

146. - I'm not a bad person, because I

147. literally give anybody the last dollar

148. I got, the shirt off my back.

149. I'll literally do anything

150. that anybody asks me to do.

151. - Except Special.

152. - Special, do you believe he'll do that for somebody?

153. - I'm with Karlous.

154. He'll do it for everybody but me.

155. - You could at least send her a bottle, took her to the club.

156. - I mean, there's—

157. I did.

158. When I got the money, I literally—

159. when I came to go see her, I just didn't say nothing.

160. But I was still buying stuff, doing stuff.

161. Let's go here. Let's do that.

162. Let's do whatever. I just never told—

163. - What the hell is he saying? - I don't know.

164. - Let me ask you something.

165. What type of drugs are you on?

166. - I'm not on drugs.

167. - Sir, sir, even the white lady don't believe you.

168. - OK, I'm going to make my decision.

169. Special, you got to take some accountability too.

170. You don't go in business with nobody like this.

171. This boy, something wrong with him.

172. I mean, honestly.

173. Don't do business with your brother.

174. Just dealing with him these 10 minutes he been up here,

175. I wouldn't ask him to cosign for a rat dinner.

176. - That was the first and last time.

177. - Let me say this to you, Spencer.

178. That is your sister.

179. How dare you take the $4,000 and not give her any money?

180. - I didn't do nothing wrong, so.

181. - OK, OK.

182. All right.

183. I come to my final decision.

184. And I'm gonna settle this once and for all.

185. I'm ruling in favor of—

186. the plaintiff, Special.

187. - Thank you, Your Honor.

188. - Spencer, you're ordered to pay Special $4,000.

189. That's your sister.

190. You know that was her car,

191. and she made those monthly payments.

192. You had no business cashing that check.

193. - Pfft.

194. I just sat here and told you—

195. - I can't do this.

196. - If y'all don't believe it, you don't believe it.

197. - Sir, I just ask you in Jesus' name,

198. don't talk no more this year.

199. - I can't believe you started this whole thing with

200. "blessed and highly favored."

201. - Yes!

202. - How silly.

203. - Thank you, Your Honor.

204. - Get out of my courtroom.

205. - Tell you how I know that he a bad person.

206. 'Cause even the white people in the courtroom

207. was like this guy.

208. - What—what the is this?

209. - This is what this girl sent me.

210. - That's her!

211. She fabricated those.

212. Nobody's TV says "TV."

213. - You right.

214. - How y'all doing today, jury?

215. - Hey, Ms. Pat. - Hi.

216. Let me ask you something before we get started, Ray J.

217. What do you think about that whole Kendrick Lamar

218. and Drake beef?

219. - You could tell the truth.

220. - Kendrick's from LA.

221. Drake's my homie.

222. I like them both.

223. - See, that's how you answer a Hollywood question.

224. Come on, bailiff.

225. Go and start bailiffing.

226. - This is the case of Brown versus Ben.

227. You may now enter.

228. - Plaintiff Teria Brown is suing her cousin Aja

229. for $399.99, the cost of a TV she claims Aja's son broke

230. while playing at her house.

231. But defendant Aja Ben claims that Teria

232. is unfairly using her son as a scapegoat

233. because she wants a bigger TV.

234. Her son is a good kid, and Teria's wires

235. are crossed if she thinks Aja is going

236. to fork over a single cent.

237. - Yes.

238. - So, Teria, please tell me why you're here today.

239. - I'm here today to sue my cousin Aja for $399.99

240. to replace my daughter's TV that her

241. little demon child broke.

242. - That did not happen.

243. - Tanika and I were sitting on the couch,

244. and we told him to leave the door open.

245. He was watching Sonic.

246. And I didn't see him go to the TV and hit it,

247. but I could see him humming things up at the TV.

248. - You saw him looking like he was chunking

249. something in your house.

250. - Yes.

251. - But you are—

252. Aja didn't move?

253. - I'm more of a gentle parenting style.

254. - Not when you're tearing up my shit.

255. - I am.

256. - OK, well, tell me your side of the story, Ms. Aja.

257. - Well, we was over at Teria's house for a girls night out.

258. But I was like, I ain't got no babysitter.

259. She said, come on, girl. Bring your son.

260. We got over there.

261. He was on the floor playing with his toys.

262. - Where?

263. - In her daughter's room.

264. - OK.

265. - And now she's saying that he broke

266. her TV that I know he didn't break

267. and want me to give her $399.

268. I'm not doing it. - Wow.

269. - OK.

270. - My family know DJ gonna tell the truth.

271. - Mm-hmm.

272. - Is there anything else in that room that DJ damaged?

273. - The next day, I found these.

274. - Oh. - What is that?

275. - Decapitated dolls.

276. - That's a lie. - Can I see it?

277. - She is lying.

278. - Oh, no.

279. - You know how hard it is to find a Black doll, baby?

280. - He cut the white woman up too?

281. Well, at least he treat everybody the same.

282. I'm gonna just give you a piece of advice.

283. If you don't keep DJ in line,

284. he's going to be like Ray J in 15 years.

285. - Rambunctious.

286. - Did she ever promise she would get the TV fixed?

287. - She did.

288. - Mm.

289. - I never said I was gonna fix the TV.

290. I said I would probably buy her a new one if the TV is broke.

291. I said, send me the size of the TV.

292. I knew what size the TV was.

293. - What size was it?

294. - It was a 32 inch.

295. It was a small TV.

296. - Pat, I got a cell phone 32 inches.

297. - That's the size you put

298. in somebody's kitchen or bathroom.

299. - Bathroom?

300. - Now, all of a sudden, it was a 47 inch.

301. - Did you not replace the TV because you thought

302. it was a 32 inch and she's saying it's a 47 inch?

303. - Exactly.

304. - Would you have purchased a 32 inch?

305. - Yes.

306. - Wow. - Let me see it.

307. Let me see it.

308. - What the is this?

309. - This is what this girl sent me.

310. - That's a lie!

311. - This is what she sent me.

312. - She fabricated those.

313. - This is what she sent.

314. I'm like—next picture.

315. - Nobody's TV says "TV."

316. - You right.

317. At this point, I'm thinking she was playing with me.

318. - All right.

319. Well, I'm gonna ask my jury what do they think.

320. - I think DJ's innocent.

321. I have a five-year-old.

322. They're incapable of lying, and they

323. will not touch the TV because that is their lifeblood.

324. - OK. - I believe her.

325. I broke a lot of TVs.

326. - This is court, and she don't have

327. no receipt, no picture.

328. I googled 47-inch TV,

329. and they are $198 at Walmart.

330. - Oh.

331. - So I just think that she's trying to get

332. over a little bit, you know.

333. - All right.

334. Let me say this.

335. Any final remarks before I make my decision?

336. - I gave her the net price of what the TV was

337. worth at the time of purchase,

338. so that is what I'm sticking to.

339. That is what I'm here for today.

340. - All right, Aja.

341. Anything you want to say before I close this?

342. - I feel like you was playing with me.

343. Like, you wanted more money.

344. So she's not getting it.

345. - OK.

346. Aja, let's be honest.

347. You offered to pay for the TV, so you kind of felt like

348. you was responsible for it until you felt like Teria was

349. trying to take advantage of you when

350. you thought it was a 32 inch—

351. - That was my thought.

352. —and she said it was a 47 inch.

353. OK.

354. I have come to my final decision,

355. and I'm gonna settle this once and for all.

356. I'm ruling in favor of—

357. nobody.

358. I'm not sure what happened or who broke the TV.

359. One thing I do know, no relationship is worth

360. being destroyed over $399 or $189 or $100, whatever that TV,

361. because you can buy them all day at the gas station.

362. But what I'm going to do is award you $33.79

363. to get your daughter some more dolls.

364. - OK.

365. - Y'all can leave.

366. - You are dismissed.

367. Am I'm the only person that would have

368. returned the broken TV?

369. - That TV would have went back that night.

370. - 'Cause, you know, my whole thing is rob

371. the big-box stores first before I really

372. have to whoop my cousin's ass.

373. - She sold my Chanel and my Louis bag.

374. Those are like vintage.

375. - You sold a vintage Chanel bag?

376. - Yeah.

377. - How much you get for it?

378. - $1,000 for it.

379. - What?

380. - That's like a $8,000 bag.

381. - Oh. - Not "oh."

382. - Not you talking about "oh."

383. - Man, get this thing started.

384. - Yes.

385. - That's what she said.

386. - Shut up, Karlous.

387. All right, bailiff.

388. Get to bailiffing.

389. - This is the case of Barrett versus Golden.

390. - Plaintiff Myeshia Barrett is suing her ex roommate Terry

391. for $4,800 to pay for her designer

392. handbags that Terry sold off without her permission.

393. - Almost fell on that bitch.

394. Hi.

395. - Defendant Terry Golden says she did

396. her due diligence to contact Myeshia after

397. she moved out but was ghosted.

398. She thought the bags were abandoned

399. and shouldn't have to pay to replace them.

400. - Nothing but the truth, so help you god?

401. - Yes. - Yes.

402. - Myeshia, tell me why you're here today, baby.

403. - I'm here today suing with my ex best friend for $4,800

404. because she sold my Chanel, my Telfar,

405. and my Louis bags after I moved out because

406. I got married to my husband.

407. - Myeshia, how do you come up with $4,800?

408. - That was kind of the value that she sold all of them for.

409. Even though they're worth way more,

410. I just want everything she sold and made off the bags.

411. Let me get that.

412. - Hm.

413. What's your side of the story?

414. - I gave her a place to stay.

415. She was living with me, and we agreed

416. to 12 months of her being there.

417. And by month nine, she literally met a dude

418. and left me that same month for the dude

419. without giving me no warning, no nothing.

420. So I was struggling to pay this rent on my own

421. after us agreeing to pay the rent together.

422. - Oh, wow.

423. - So you stole her stuff?

424. - No, she left her stuff.

425. - Let me ask you something, Myeshia.

426. So you met this man, and what happened?

427. - So this is my hubby wubby.

428. I met him in November when me and her was living together.

429. - I should throw this gavel at your ass.

430. - I know.

431. - Ms. Pat, give her some grace.

432. She only 22. She don't even know.

433. - She don't even know.

434. - He proposed to me in January. - Oh.

435. - And so—yeah, I know. We move fast.

436. I moved the majority of my stuff out,

437. but I left some stuff behind.

438. I was going on my honeymoon.

439. - "Some stuff."

440. - I'm not thinking it's a big deal.

441. And another friend sends me a screenshot that

442. she's selling all my stuff on Marketplace.

443. - What?

444. - I can show you. I have the evidence right here.

445. - OK, let me see it.

446. - They know that it's my Telfar because I have a Hello Kitty—

447. like, I love Hello Kitty— plushie on the purse.

448. So I know that was mine.

449. - Tell me about the Chanel bag.

450. - I mean, the Chanel and Louis, my grandma gave me that.

451. So those are like vintage, sentimental value.

452. - You sold a vintage Chanel bag?

453. - Yeah. Mm-hmm.

454. - How much you get for it?

455. - $1,000 for it.

456. - What?

457. - You don't even know what you sold, do you?

458. - Right.

459. - Do you know if you got a vintage Chanel bag,

460. the clasps and the buckles on that is real gold?

461. That's like a $8,000 bag.

462. - Oh.

463. - Not "oh."

464. - She talking about "oh."

465. - Did you reach out to her and tell her come get her things

466. and ask for your rent money?

467. - I hit her up multiple times to come get her stuff.

468. And not only did she leave the bag, she left her bed.

469. She left her dresser.

470. She left clothes.

471. Me and my sister had to get her stuff out of here.

472. - Girl, that man blew your mind, didn't it?

473. So you left your friend hanging for three months?

474. - I did.

475. - Damn.

476. - Wow.

477. - All for a man.

478. - She didn't even give me no notice that she was leaving.

479. She left me high and dry.

480. - I thought she would be happy for me

481. because I finally got a man.

482. - Girl, let me tell you something.

483. Don't play with me.

484. Play the radio.

485. Ain't nobody gonna leave no $10,000 Chanel bag behind.

486. - She was my friend.

487. I left it at her house.

488. - Yeah, but why you ain't pay your rent, though?

489. - Exactly. - Terrible friend.

490. Her and her sister should have jumped your ass.

491. - Myeshia Barrett is suing

492. her ex roommate Terry for $4,800

493. to replace her designer handbags that Terry sold off.

494. Terry says since Myeshia ran off with her new man,

495. she used the money she made off selling Myeshia's bags

496. to cover the rent Myeshia didn't pay.

497. Ms. Pat is going to settle this.

498. - Ain't nobody gonna leave no $10,000 Chanel bag behind.

499. And then you want to sue her?

500. You left it behind.

501. - She was my friend. I left it at her house.

502. - For three months, and you did not pay her rent.

503. - Yeah, but why you ain't pay your rent, though?

504. - Exactly.

505. What you charge her per month?

506. - $700.

507. - You ran out on $700 for some D?

508. No, girl.

509. Have you ever had a man before?

510. Is this your first man? - No, I had a man.

511. Ah.

512. - It seems like you don't know how to act.

513. You're so flabbergasted.

514. You're about to float.

515. - Oh, my god, she's so excited!

516. Ah!

517. OK, I'm gonna go to my jurors.

518. Carmen, help me out here.

519. - I've been your age before.

520. And baby, I got a hold of a thing one time.

521. Ha!

522. I just can remember, when I hooked up with him,

523. nothing in this world mattered.

524. And when you go through that, you lose a lot of stuff.

525. - I don't think you're right for selling her stuff

526. because you can't really put a value on some things.

527. That was, like, spiteful.

528. But you leaving her how she was,

529. I think you can't sue her for the money

530. of something you left.

531. - All she lost is those bags, right?

532. - She found love.

533. - When you young, dumb,

534. and full of, baby,

535. you lose everything.

536. You're just gonna have to take that I.

537. I'm sorry.

538. - So let me ask you something.

539. How has this affected your relationship with your friend?

540. - There is no relationship. - Mm.

541. - That's it. It's done.

542. Deaded.

543. You left me high and dry at the end of the day.

544. I would have never left her high and dry how she left me,

545. especially not for no man.

546. - OK.

547. - I mean, we're not friends anymore,

548. and it's just petty that a few bags would tear us apart.

549. - All right, Myeshia.

550. You met a man of your dreams, and you just left your friend

551. hanging with a dirty room that she could not

552. get your items out of.

553. Golden, you say Myeshia up and left

554. three months owed on the rent.

555. With that said, I've come to my final decision.

556. I'm ruling in favor of—

557. The defendant, Golden.

558. Myeshia, you don't get anything.

559. Golden don't owe you nothing

560. because you abandoned your property.

561. I'm so happy that you're married,

562. but don't step on other people

563. because you got a little happiness now.

564. Because when you wasn't happy, she was there for you.

565. Let me just ask you this, Myeshia.

566. Why don't you apologize to her?

567. - I'm sorry for leaving you.

568. I'm truly sorry.

569. Come here, friend.

570. We can still make music.

571. - All right, I just settled it.

572. Y'all get out of my courtroom.

573. - You are dismissed.

574. - When I tell you I done had something so good,

575. I done been so lost in the sauce, baby.

576. I done left everything just like her.

577. I didn't leave with nothing but the clothes on my back.

578. - Because it didn't even matter in that moment.

579. - Nothing mattered.

580. - She better not bring her ass back here suing him.

581. - Next time on "Ms. Pat Settles It"...

582. - I'm here today to sue my cousin for $600.

583. - Why you haven't paid the man his $600, babe?

584. You got claws.

585. - She has money.

586. She just don't have that $600.

587. - I had an accident.

588. I tried my best to clean it up.

589. She needs to get over it.

590. - So how did the Gucci scarf get in this?

591. - After she used all the napkins—

592. - No, no, no!

593. - Oh, yeah.

594. - What?

595. - My boss, he's been chopping my check.

596. - She ate $300 worth of food before we even opened up.

597. - Your Honor, I ain't got but 25 teeth.

598. I didn't do that.
