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 going to settle it.

12. - I love this courtroom!

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

14. - People need justice.

15. And we get paid by the case.

16. So hurry up and all rise for Judge Ms. Pat.

17. - Y'all can have a seat.

18. All right, jury, I appreciate y'all.

19. I really do.

20. If you ever need some coffee in your cream,

21. you know where to go to.

22. - If you ever need any cream in your coffee,

23. you let me know where to go.

24. - Dang, Chris.

25. - Chris, I really think you've been hanging out

26. with Black people too long.

27. With that said, bailiff, start bailiffing.

28. - This is the case of Jenkins versus Clayton.

29. You may now enter.

30. - Plaintiff Archie Jenkins is suing his colleague,

31. Shankedra, for $3,000

32. after she failed to bring in 12 models

33. to their magazine photo shoot.

34. Defendant Shankedra Clayton says

35. Archie wanted those models to pay for the shoot,

36. so they dropped out.

37. If he wants 12 dime pieces, he should

38. have coughed up some coins.

39. - So help you God?

40. - Yes, sir.

41. - Before we get started, this is

42. a jury of my peers made up of my family

43. and a couple of felons.

44. - I'm the felon. - So watch your wallets, OK?

45. Your name is Archie Jenkin?

46. - That's me, Archie Jenkins.

47. - That's an old-ass name.

48. Archie, tell me why you're here today.

49. - So I am a respectable businessman,

50. and we hired Shankedra here because she's been booked

51. through my agency before.

52. We paid her $3,000.

53. - Mm-hmm.

54. - I'm suing her today for the $3,000 back because she was

55. supposed to get us 12 models for a photo shoot

56. for our adult magazine.

57. - Your adult magazine? OK.

58. - She brought four models to the photo shoot.

59. - Mm-hmm.

60. - Her being one of them.

61. - Oh.

62. - OK, so you hired her to get 12 models.

63. She only brought four.

64. - Correct.

65. - All right, well, let me hear your side of the story, Shan—

66. - Oh, no, can you please refer to me as Madam Honey?

67. - Hell, no.

68. - What?

69. - You not gonna do it today.

70. - So I reached out to every girl

71. that he said that he wanted, and I put

72. these girls in a group chat.

73. But he wants the girls to pay him.

74. And once he put the price, all the girls left the group chat.

75. So I feel like that's not my fault.

76. And I feel like I don't owe him nothing.

77. - Ooh.

78. - He wants the girls, the girls that you went out and got.

79. - Yes.

80. - He want them to pay him to be in his calendar?

81. - Exactly, yes.

82. - Really?

83. - How much did you want them to pay you?

84. - $450 each.

85. - Ooh, child.

86. - What?

87. Come on.

88. - You wanted them to pay you $450 each?

89. - Most of them people have six followers.

90. These are people that want to get their careers

91. to the next level.

92. They're paying to get exposure.

93. - Really?

94. - Was it like a bootleg "Playboy" magazine?

95. - We not bootleg, Your Honor.

96. Everybody knows me as a respectable magazine owner.

97. I have 40,000 subscribers that get a hard copy every month.

98. I have a few.

99. I brought a couple for everyone.

100. - Can we take a look at that?

101. - OK, let me see it.

102. Let me see it.

103. - Ray J, sit your ass down.

104. How many ladies ended up at the photo shoot?

105. - They're all in there, Your Honor.

106. The first picture shows you everybody

107. that was at the shoot.

108. - These five people gave you $400 to be in this pamphlet?

109. - A magazine, Your Honor.

110. A magazine.

111. A magazine.

112. - You can't be no businessman.

113. - All this right here is pimping up, ho'ing down.

114. - Well, I don't know nothing about that, Your Honor.

115. - Yes, you do.

116. Your suit told me that when you walked in the door.

117. - Look like you back up New Edition.

118. Did she know that you was gonna charge the other models?

119. - When we first started this, that was the whole point.

120. - No, it wasn't. - It's a marketing company.

121. Your Honor, I have the text messages.

122. - Ooh.

123. - So he says, "So I will do a test run on all models we need.

124. I want to be able to charge and stuff eventually."

125. - Eventually.

126. - Even you said, "I think that's a great idea,

127. and I think you should definitely make a post

128. in the group that I sent."

129. Oh!

130. - What?

131. - You knew he was gonna be charging these people.

132. - No, I didn't know that.

133. - OK.

134. - But he did say I'm gonna charge.

135. So eventually— - He said eventually.

136. He didn't say—

137. - Come on, sweetheart.

138. Eventually means yes.

139. - Yeah. - Yeah.

140. - All right, I'm gonna go to my jurors.

141. - Archie, how much do you charge for the magazine?

142. - So the magazine's online for $13.

143. - All right, good.

144. - OK.

145. Come on, Ray J.

146. - I mean, it's simple.

147. You buying an ad for themselves to be seen to the public.

148. - Let me ask you something.

149. How many times have you ever seen this magazine?

150. - One, two, three.

151. I've seen it a few times.

152. - Exactly.

153. What do you have to say before I make my decision, Archie?

154. - Well, Your Honor, I just feel like she should give back

155. the 3,000 for all my troubles.

156. - OK, sweetheart, what do you have to say?

157. - I have to say I did my job as to recruit the girls for him.

158. He said yes and no to these people.

159. So these were the people that he decided on.

160. So I don't think that I owe him any money.

161. - Mm.

162. - OK, I've come to my decision, and I'm gonna

163. settle this once and for all.

164. I'm ruling in favor of—

165. —the plaintiff, Archie.

166. - Thank you.

167. - You are ordered to pay Archie $3,000.

168. - Hey. - Oh, wow.

169. - Oh, no.

170. - Told you.

171. - Really, Ms. Pat?

172. - Yes, because you didn't fulfill your contract.

173. But I wish you luck on your journey.

174. - Thank you.

175. - I really do.

176. Archie, you got to stop scamming women.

177. You are a scammer, too.

178. - Right.

179. - With that said, y'all get out my courtroom.

180. - You are dismissed.

181. - Thank you.

182. - That is the craziest shit.

183. - Oh.

184. - Everybody in that magazine look like they drank coffee

185. with no cream and no sugar.

186. - Straight.

187. - And no cup.

188. - She was supposed to renovate my bathroom and kitchen.

189. - When was the house built? 19—

190. - 1895. - Oh, shit.

191. 18?

192. - That's a "Color Purple" house.

193. - All right, jury, y'all already know.

194. I'm a mama.

195. So I tough love everything, even my food.

196. That's why I hold on to it.

197. - We talking about tough love still, right?

198. - Stay with us.

199. All right, bailiff, start bailiffing.

200. - This is the case of Nolan versus Nolan.

201. You may now enter.

202. - Plaintiff Jackie Nolan is suing her daughter, Nicole,

203. for $2,167 after Nicole demolished

204. her bathroom for a remodel but never finished.

205. - I feel like I just want to say Happy Kwanzaa.

206. - Defendant Nicole Nolan says she had every intention

207. of finishing the job, but COVID crashed the party,

208. so she couldn't.

209. Plus, Mom tossed the cabinets Nicole

210. was eventually gonna install.

211. So she's countersuing for 5 large.

212. - Swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so

213. help you, God?

214. - I do.

215. - All right, Jackie, tell me why you here.

216. - I'm suing my daughter, Nicole,

217. for $2,167 and some change.

218. She was supposed to renovate my bathroom and kitchen.

219. She gutted the bathroom, didn't start on the kitchen,

220. and left me with the bill.

221. - And I had to finish the renovation

222. with my money instead of hers.

223. - What did she say she was gonna pay for?

224. - Everything. - Wow.

225. - OK.

226. Nicole, tell me about this bathroom and a half you did.

227. - So my plans were to renovate the bathroom and the kitchen.

228. I wanted to bring the house up to market rate rental value.

229. My mother's house hadn't been remodeled since 1950.

230. I stopped on the renovations because my mother fought

231. me every step of the way.

232. The last straw was when she threw

233. my cabinets out on the street.

234. And that was spiteful.

235. And so I am suing her for $5,000.

236. And, Ms. Honey, I want my money today.

237. - OK, Jackie, when was the house built?

238. 19— 19— - 1895.

239. - Oh, shit.

240. 18?

241. - That's a "Color Purple" house.

242. - My mother took it upon herself

243. to hire a unskilled, unprofessional contractor

244. who did a cheap job.

245. - Jennifer Hudson sound upset.

246. - She lost her doggone mind.

247. - Can I please see the before-and-after picture

248. of what Jackie did?

249. - So this is what she left your bathroom looking like?

250. - Yeah.

251. - Oh, wow.

252. - Ain't no commode or nothing in there.

253. - I had to get all of that from the street people.

254. - Is this the bathroom now?

255. - Yeah.

256. - He did a horrible job.

257. - Well.

258. - Ms. Jackie, the grout lines are supposed to line up.

259. I see a white grout in the corner

260. and a black grout in the tile.

261. This is what happen when you rush, Ms. Jackie.

262. - Then she should have finished and paid for it

263. like she was supposed to.

264. I got what I could get with my budget.

265. - How much did you pay to do this shit?

266. - Altogether, $2,167 and change.

267. - Oh, wow.

268. - OK.

269. Nicole, you're countersuing your mama for $5,000.

270. Can you tell us why?

271. - I purchased these cabinets that were custom.

272. I had them delivered to the house.

273. I placed them in her living room,

274. and I was coming back to renovate.

275. But COVID happened.

276. - When?

277. - I was scared to travel during that time.

278. So I asked my mother to halt on the renovations.

279. - And how long was it?

280. - Two months.

281. But she threw my cabinets on the curb.

282. - What?

283. - Do you have a receipt for the cabinets?

284. - Yes, I do.

285. - All right, let me see the receipt

286. for the cabinets, girlfriend.

287. - There she go with that paperwork.

288. - Yeah, here she go with that receipt.

289. - There she goes with that paperwork.

290. - She keep everything.

291. - Yeah, these are cabinets.

292. - Oh, they did section by section.

293. - And that was a good deal, Mom.

294. Why did you put the dang cabinets on the curb?

295. - They was in the way.

296. And I had nowhere— - No.

297. You're— you're mad.

298. - And I had nowhere to put them, for real.

299. - You were mad. - Come on, y'all.

300. Help me out here. Chris, come on.

301. Tell me.

302. - Ms. Jackie, I want to be on your side so bad.

303. - But?

304. - But you took something that was $5,000 and ruined it

305. because you were a little mad.

306. And I think you need to pay for it.

307. - I think you tripping, Chris.

308. - I do, too.

309. - It's no way anybody gonna leave

310. a whole cabinet section in my living room and expect to—

311. - The living and the dining room.

312. - It's just no way.

313. She prematurely bought it, period.

314. - All right, so how has this affected y'all relationship?

315. - Oh, we've been going at it, her about the cabinets and me

316. about my money, like, forever.

317. - I'm tired of it.

318. - So I've come to my final decision,

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

320. I'm ruling in favor of...

321. nobody.

322. Let me tell you why.

323. Two wrongs don't make a right.

324. I understand that your mama took your $5,000 worth

325. of cabinets and threw 'em out.

326. That was wrong.

327. But it was also wrong to gut your mama bathroom

328. and leave it like that.

329. So with that said, I just settled it.

330. All right, y'all get out my courtroom.

331. - OK. - Bye, Jennifer Hudson.

332. - Ooh, no.

333. - Mama, with all that rump, you need a man.

334. That's how we used to be shaped before the BBLs.

335. - It's true.

336. - That house is a historic landmark.

337. - It is.

338. - Underground Railroad.

339. - She was advertising free makeup and hair service.

340. - Was it free, or was it $200?

341. - It was free.

342. - For new clients only. - OK.

343. - Your Honor, she's not a new client.

344. - Wow!

345. - Shock, shaka boom.

346. - Y'all feel me, jury?

347. - Yeah, I feel you.

348. - Both hands.

349. - I need a man can hold my boobs with one hand.

350. - That's not possible.

351. - All right, bailiff, get to bailiffing.

352. - This is the case of Wright versus Huey.

353. You may now enter.

354. - Plaintiff Stewart Wright is suing her friend, Lulu,

355. for $200 for unpaid glam services

356. for her maternity photo shoot.

357. Defendant Lulu Huey says Stewart is being a big baby.

358. She offered to do her glow up for free.

359. Besides, she barely touched her wig

360. and even refused a tip.

361. And because of that, Lulu isn't forking over

362. a single dollar.

363. - The truth, the whole truth, and nothing

364. but the truth so help you God?

365. - I do.

366. - Stewart, tell me why you're here today.

367. - I'm here today because I'm suing my best friend.

368. Lulu, for $200 for never paying me for her hair or makeup

369. services for her maternity shoot

370. that was done over a year ago.

371. - OK, Lulu, tell me your side of the story.

372. - Basically, Your Honor, on Instagram, she was advertising

373. free makeup and hair service.

374. That's what she was saying.

375. - So was it free, or was it $200?

376. - It was free.

377. Tip is optional.

378. So after I got out of her chair, I tried to give her $50.

379. But she was like, no, keep the $50.

380. You can spend it on your baby.

381. So I kept my $50.

382. - OK, Stewart, tell me what happened.

383. - So I was offering free hair and makeup

384. sessions for new clients only.

385. - OK.

386. - Your Honor, she's not a new client.

387. - Oh.

388. - So I don't understand why she thought that it was gonna

389. be a free set for her anyway.

390. - So she showed up on a coupon that was not for old customers.

391. - Yes.

392. - Do you have the coupon that she snuck in your shop?

393. - Yes, I sent it in.

394. It was a video. - There we go.

395. - Hey, ladies.

396. Y'all hit me up for a free hair session and a free makeup

397. beat for new clients only.

398. - Wow.

399. - Shock shaka boom.

400. - Lulu, it says new clients only.

401. - Yes, Your Honor.

402. She did say that, but if she was gonna charge me,

403. she could have said it before she even did my makeup.

404. - So she show up on a new client coupon.

405. But you still serviced her.

406. You should have said—

407. - I told her then that she had to pay me $200.

408. She said, I don't have it.

409. I said, I have to pay my photographer.

410. So I told her, once you're able to give it back to me,

411. go ahead and give it back to me.

412. - Do you have any pictures of the hair and makeup you did?

413. - Yes, she has the pictures of her whole maternity shoot.

414. - OK, can I see them?

415. - Aww, she look so pretty.

416. - Thank you.

417. - Sitting on the cloud.

418. - That's the one right there.

419. "Mortal Kombat."

420. - I got one question for you, Lulu.

421. Was you happy with your hair and makeup?

422. - I was happy with my makeup.

423. Yes, my makeup was beautiful.

424. It was.

425. - So you just went off and got you a free hairdo and makeup

426. for your photo shoot.

427. - I did not get a free hairdo.

428. First of all, I only allow one person to do my hairstyle.

429. That's it. - Is it her?

430. - No, it's not her.

431. She only touched up my lace.

432. And she like, OK, that's fine, girl.

433. All I got to do is just add two dots of glue, and that's it.

434. She never, like, curled it, straightened it.

435. She never did none of that.

436. - So did you only give her a dab of glue like she said?

437. - No, I did not give her a dab of glue.

438. It wasn't a dot.

439. It wasn't a dab.

440. Almost this whole half was missing up.

441. - So three dabs?

442. - Five.

443. - I mean, she— she did your makeup.

444. And you think makeup is only worth $50?

445. - I'll give her the right price for the makeup,

446. but $200 is insane.

447. - I agree.

448. - Would you pay $200?

449. - You don't even want to know what I pay these bitches

450. to do me like this.

451. - Hers was 200, though.

452. - 200, $100 for the hair and then $100 for the makeup.

453. - But you said you put three dots.

454. - Five.

455. - Five dots.

456. $100 for five dots.

457. - Look, wig glue is $10, ma'am.

458. But you can get—

459. - The Black-owned one is not.

460. - What, it's 15, 20?

461. - 25.

462. - OK, but you can get about 300 uses out of it.

463. - You don't feel bad about overcharging your friend?

464. - No, because I used my time.

465. - Now you know that ain't right.

466. - That's not right.

467. - I do have a witness that witnessed

468. me try to give her $50.

469. - Where your witness at, Lulu?

470. - Come on, baby.

471. - And she got the same wig as her.

472. They look like the same— they look like sisters.

473. They got the— - That's my younger sister.

474. - Oh!

475. - Yes, exactly.

476. Exactly, exactly, exactly.

477. How is your witness my younger sister?

478. - Let's see what she got to say, Ms. Pat.

479. - You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth,

480. and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

481. - Yes, sir.

482. - Plaintiff Stewart Wright is suing her friend, Lulu Huey,

483. for $200 for unpaid glam services for Lulu's

484. maternity photo shoot.

485. Lulu argues Stewart barely worked on her wig

486. and even refused payment.

487. Ms. Pat is about to settle this mess.

488. - Where your witness at, Lulu?

489. Come on, baby.

490. - And she got the same wig as her.

491. That look like the same— they look like sisters.

492. - That's my younger sister.

493. - What?

494. - Yes, exactly.

495. Exactly, exactly, exactly.

496. How's your witness my younger sister?

497. - Let's see what she got to say, Ms. Pat.

498. - What is your name, sweetheart?

499. - Sasha Wright.

500. - OK.

501. Was you with Lulu when she tried

502. to use a new people coupon?

503. - Yes.

504. I didn't see, like, Lulu necessarily, like,

505. show her the coupon, but I did see her

506. trying to hand her the $50.

507. - And what did your sister say?

508. - She told her just to keep it.

509. - Do your sister try to get over on her friends

510. and clients a lot?

511. - She had one time.

512. Because I remember one time, she tried to pay—

513. - Oh, my god!

514. —one time—

515. no, Your Honor, one time, she tried to get me.

516. She was trying to tell me, she was like,

517. oh, I'm gonna charge like $100.

518. My mom braided my braids down.

519. So I'm like, why am I paying $100?

520. All you doing is putting the lace

521. on, cutting it, and gluing it.

522. Like, the wig is already styled.

523. - Is she a professional hairstylist,
