This case should’ve been thrown out and then reported.

I don’t understand how she can rule in a case where clearly both parties were not truthful

There shouldn't be any judgement in a case where both parties defrauded !

Wow. . . . I hope they get audited.

Judge Judy would've thrown them both out citing the doctrine of clean hands.

No money should have been awarded when they admitted to committing fraud

wouldn't the "clean hands" apply here? By their own testimony they are committing fraud so I think she should have kicked them all out with nothing.

damn i'm in the wrong field, i need to be slanging some guinea pigs

WHAT!? The judge REWARDED that crook!? benefiting off a scam? I'm amazed at this verdict.

"Nonprofit Rescue" has a whole new meaning for me now.

I would have LOVED to have seen Judge Judy adjudicate this case! It would have been so entertaining to watch! She would have thrown them both out.

We are living in a selfish money hungry world so sad smh

The plaintiff phrased the adoption fee issue so poorly. She needs the adoption fees to run her business and the defendant wasn't giving them to her. THAT'S ALL SHE NEEDED TO SAY but she made herself come off as a shady dealer.

I think the Judge completely missed the mark with this one. The plaintiff took complete advantage of the defendant. She literally scammed the pet store out of thousands of dollars. What happened to coming into court with your hands clean? And the defendant was expected to use her own commission to pay for the care of this woman's guinea pigs? She's literally working for free at that point. Case should have been dismissed.

I don’t understand when people don’t dress up for court 🤦🏻‍♀️ just walking in with the ratty old clothes you wear walking down the street smh

“Thousands of guinea pigs die because they’re born the wrong color or don’t meet the standard”… the judge face when she said this is hilarious

The plaintiff lied who in the hell gives someone over 10 guinea pigs each week and not collect any money for months. She got paid but probably not what she felt was acceptable

Is it just me or there something super fishy about the plaintiffs? I don’t really totally believe them.

How are they able to adopt out that many guinea pigs in such a short space of time???

I believe individuals who start rescue are well meaning - it just gets out of control!

Here's where you hope that the show sent a copy of the tape and documents to the state and IRS so they can be punished for the fraud.

Yikes! The way the plaintiff's face dropped when ol girl started snitiching is PRICELESS

Guinea pigs dont run in no balls, its bad for them. She must be thinking of a hamster

I’m surprised she ruled on an illegal case. The defendant had me JOKED OUT!!! How the hell you snitch on YOURSELF on live tv? 😂😂

At 9:21 I thought the lady all the way in the back eyeballs was looking all crazy, but it’s just her eye makeup 🤣

So let me see if I understand this....the plaintiffs have a contact that she gets unwanted Guinea Pigs from that aren't worthy to be in these Guinea Pig shows and she rescues these Guinea Pigs and rehomes them. She strikes up a deal with this defendant that says she will send these rescued guinea pigs to the defendant and the defendant is supposed to pay THEM $15 for every Guinea Pig she successfully adopts out, plus $10 for shipping them. She can use moneys for the GP's care, but all other funds are to go to the Plaintiff. So my question is....WHY don't they have a contract that stipulates the EXACT terms of this arrangement? And what's really in it for the defendant? I understand she's trying to start a rescue, but she's doing pretty much ALL the work (as far as caring for these guinea pigs and adopting them out) for nothing. Why waste your time doing all that work for nothing? And if the plaintiff sent this girl 65 guinea pigs the first month and she didn't give them any money....WHY then would they send her 48 MORE guinea pigs in October? Why aren't they calling her and asking "Hey, have you sold the 68 we sent you in September? If you've sold the original lot, where is the money you owe us?" They have NO records of her receiving these Guinea Pigs....no records of these pigs being sold. And no record that they are blanketing her to make her rescue legit. The only records they have are the ones showing the plaintiff got the pigs from the original seller who was culling them. The plaintiff is saying they did this for three months and she saw NO money from the defendant. The defendant is saying she would get the pigs on Friday and the plaintiff would pick up the money from the sales on Monday.....in cash. No receipt exchanged. No record of the transactions. What kind of business IS this? AND THEN....we find out that they are FORGING RECEIPTS to make it look like they are selling more pigs than they really are, so they can make a BIGGER profit from these pet store grants. If I were Judge Milian, I would not give either one of these women a single penny. They BOTH have dirty hands. AND, if I were Judge Milian, I would be calling the pet stores and telling them "Hey...these ladies are scamming you. They are showing you fraudulent receipts....so the pet stores can sue them for the money they stole. I am a businesswoman. Every time I make a sale, I create an invoice that shows exactly what I am selling and how much its selling for. And every transaction is done through Paypal. So I have a clear record of every sale I make and my clients have a receipt. THAT is how to run a proper business. Not this....nonsense.

The couple that have Pink hair together stays together 🤣😂

Actually, guinea pigs are very affectionate and smart. They make sweet pets.

I agree that the judge missed the mark on this one. There was definitely fraudulent activity going in both parties and I thought that courts do not enforce contracts where the laws may have been broken. Courts do not as they say, "get their hands dirty." What kind of big rescue makes this sort of deal without a contract?

Aww, Harvey was mean to that lil gal. Pigs are like stuffed animals that make cute noises. They don't usually bite, but they're good at sitting in your lap and squeaking. I wouldn't want one, but they're good for kids.

One good thing that came out of this is kind of the FRAUD plaintiff was conducting. I say Defendant was smart, she knew that she has to pay money but made sure that plaintiff will pay the heavy price by bringing about the fraud. She made a huge dent on plaintiff carrier. Plaintiff took advantage of her.

Since all are engaged in fraud--a wash, no one gets anything. C'mon Judge!

The defendant wanted to out her as a fraud .. I am proud of her for speaking out and outing them.

Judge Judy is the greatest judge ever, no nonsense, facts only, i don't give a rats behind, damn she's good

Shocked at the judgment. Both were frauds, the judge knew it, and awarded money to one of them. Unreal.

The plaintiff is lying like a rug

Off topic,,,but a guinea pig story. A young woman took her guinea pig to the vet. The diagnosis was terminal cancer; the vet recommended euthanasia. The young woman panicked; she couldn't face the idea of a pet dying in her care. She asked my friend if she could take her pet in. My friend had two cats. The two cats promptly adopted the little guinea pig. They groomed her, protected her, slept with her, etc. The cats mourned the passing of their little friend.

This just perpetuates the cruel treatment. They're not fooling anybody. This is a profiting business.

Why would these people come on national TV and admit they are all frauds? What the hell

Wow -- didn't realize in the instances of rescuing animals, finding them homes, etc., that I could have been making a profit all this time?? Where the F have I been?? lol...

Thought the beautiful black woman behind the plaintiff had her eye open wide asf until she blinked 😂

That agreement was ridiculous! No contract and sketchy behavior! Now how is the plaintiff to say how many guinea pigs the defendant's bought vs how much money she took out for expenses without records?

I hope the IRS is watching. This is a “charity” operating as a business.

they really look like they're related..

Why in the world would she allow the plaintiff to receive any more money? Once it came out they were all frauds, the case should have been dismissed.

I can’t take this case seriously with the guy doing the hula and the terrible dye job defendants

Once the word fraud was mentioned Judge Judy would’ve threw them out of her court room so fast!! 😂😂

Wow... thats alot of guinea pigs!!! I have 2 and the up keep of cleaning, feeding and interacting with them is enough for me!! Out of 5 I have had over the last 8 years, 4 were rescues... people get a cute little piggy but then when they get bigger, the don't want anymore

The female plaintiff bothered me so much. Her demeanor was so smug and sarcastic and sometimes she came off looking like a toddler with her pout and arms crossed

I just find it HEEEE-larious that oh girl tried to blame purple hair cause they both were Fraudulent ass people 🤣

The girl outside who said she owned a g pig before was lying I feel like 😂😂😭😭

LOL not playing the victim after you clearly scammed the pet stores!😂 lady go home and take baldy with you.

I’m surprised there was any judgment on this case. Because neither party came in with “clean hands”.

The defendant at least was more honest than the plantiff

I really applaud both people for rescuing the animal's, I just hope they can settle their differences and focus on the animal's! Please don't let this case deter anyone from donating to animal shelters and rescues, please adopt don't shop! We truly don't deserve animals!

The defendant was a volunteer. Why was this even a case?

Harvey out there throwing shade at Guinea Pig owners

Plaintiff looks like she's on one. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Judge Judy wouldn't have rewarded that fraudulent plaintiff any money.

The plaintiff lied when saying she got nothing. You can see it in her eyes. The more the plaintiff talks the more I don’t believe her.

We have fostered kittens for close to 3 years. We keep them until they are adopted, over 70 kittens so far. They have all been adopted and currently have 4 that are old enough. We have never received any money.

This judge is terrible! It has been concluded that it was forgery by both parties.. and she should of referred them to whoever regulates the pet charities etc so they can get their grants back!.. How could she award the fraudulent woman $900!

Did they just admit fraud?

What happened to coming to court with clean hands?!

I know this is an old case, but when I saw it involved guinea pig rescuing, I knew it was going to be wild. I used to be on a few guinea pig rescue forums back in the early 2000s, and they were always full of drama.

All this trouble to get a small pet. Crazy. A lot of shadiness happened here. I would've dismissed them both but that's just me

They all give me major druggie vibes

That’s why she didn’t want the name of her agency out…. Because she was about to snitch on herself and the plaintiff. What a hot mess.

None of them should be allowed around ANY ANIMAL, EVER!!! 😠😠🤦🐕🐾🐾💗👵🇺🇸

How did this fraudulent case not get thrown out

Cop sirens blare.. shady character winces as the officer searches the trunk. With a slow creak the package is found. "Finally..." the officer whispers He takes out his trusty pocket knife and cuts the seal at the top... carefully grabs a sample.... He takes a looong sniff and his face says it all. He remembers his own youth, hungry for a quick buck. "This is a pure bred guinea pig all right. I haven't seen one like this in all my 45 years as a detective. " The bars slam shut on the arrested smuggler. With a grin the officer tells him "I guess this little piggy won't go home... not if I can help it..." The room goes dark and the officers shoes echo on the cold pavement with every step... He leans in close to the bars where the smuggler lies.. "And believe me... you will have all the time in the world to run around your little cell like a plastic ball in a child's hands..." The officer moves away and walks down the hall... the sound of his shoes only muffled by his cursed, crooked laugh...

Judge Judy would dismissed this case

Hello you cool cats and guinea pigs.

Terrible judgement to award either when neither have clean hands.

At least the defendant was HONEST

I used to show my guinea pigs while in boarding school in Weybridge, Surrey England. I was also 11.

The fraud in the name of a pet rescue is disgusting.

Get 'em Doug!

This is so hard to watch. I run a 501c3 animal rescue and people don’t seem to understand that we absolutely need all the money we can get. People get really creeped out when you start talking about money and adoption fees but we have to have it. It costs thousands of dollars to vet animals and you can’t save those animals without it. However, if they really did forge adoptions for grant money that is some awful, awful stuff going on there. NO legitimate rescue, no matter how strapped for cash we are, should ever do something so unethical as that. Shame on them!

“Look at me… look at me… look at me… I have pink hair… look at me!!!”

The pigs get killed if they the wrong color? What ?? 🐖🐷🐽🐁🐁🐁

When a person ADMITS they knowingly defrauded an organization (especially on national tv), can the organization then take that fraudster to court and/or sue them? So often you see on these court shows how people took/take advantage (abuse) of the housing authorities, health & social services, auto insurance, social security administration and so many more. It should be dealt with. And swiftly.

Guinea pigs: exist Richard Gere: 👀

If she had to give away like 60% of the money how is she supposed to afford bedding, food, water, cages, space, cleaning and care and Abby vet bills?

Some people would rather incriminate themselves than to pay what they owe. How does that make sense?

Judge Judy would have thrown them all out! Bunch of scammers!

Sloppy BUSINESS !!! Pinky can’t run a business because they don’t count inventory and don’t know how to manage paperwork

It's everybody else's fault that these chics are frauds. Neither of them are taking responsibility for THEIR own actions and decisions.

There’s few times I don’t agree with her ruling and this is one- how is she going to rule on a faulty case? Isn’t there a law against that. I’ve seen an episode where she dismissed a case based on the legality of it- the plaintiff was suing the other party for drug money he owed him. And since it was illegal, she stated the court would not make him even so why is this any different? How did she rule to make someone even when this is a fraud? It’s illegal.

Judge Mathis and Judge Judy would have thrown this case out just like they did with any other fraudulent cases

Gosh what a bunch of untrustworthy plaintiff's and defendants...smh...I had no idea the guinea pig buizzz was so Savage lol

Well atleast the defendant was honest about her mess up in the fraudulent skeem.... The plaintiff should have walked out of their empty handed!

Something tells me that they both are fraudulent. I believe maybe the plaintive does put money towards her rescue but she probably does pocket a lot of money. The defendant realize how much money that the other lady was making so she figured why do I have to give her money so she started keeping the money for herself. Both of them are fraudulent .

She should have thrown them both out for fraud

At least pink hair took accountability and didn't stutter when answering the question about being a fraud. Not many people can do that. These days no one takes accountability for their actions & gives nothing but excuses so I'll give her props for that.

lol Harvey TOTALLY dissed that audience member outside. hahaha, what a slap in the face!

You buy a piggie in a pet sote for 20 $..... 15 is about the total price they could ask for she should only get about half of the 15

Why did he say Sir at the beginning 🤣🤣🤣

Agree with all the comments. How can a person who was committing such a fraud get anything. Judge Judy would have thrown them both out

That female should not have any Guinea Pigs. Balls are not good for Guinea Pigs and they should not be using a wheel either. People really ought not have pets that they do not know how to properly care for. Just sad.....😔
