She was so lying. Trying to get all the work done & then wanting all her money back. Definitely the customer is not always right.

I laughed at her little temper tantrum right after the verdict. Granted he seemed to think he was doing her a favor and not acting like he was being paid to do work, but she was lying most of the time.

Saw the feathered auburn hair and IMMEDIATELY thought “Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JOOLLLEEEEEENNEE!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 If you know, you know!

The plaintiff knew she messed up when the judge called her on her $7k lie! 🤦‍♀️

Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought he favored Mark Wahlberg.

Seems like she wanted a free porch

Who else thought the plaintiff was going to pop off when she started cracking her knuckles? 🤣

Of course he failed inspection two times, dude was building using prison rules.

The plaintiff got caught in a bold faced lie saying that she paid her friend $7k to finish it. Then JM calls her out, and suddenly she paid around $3k. BIG difference between $3k and $7k lady.

He kinda looks like Mark and Donnie Wahlberg 🤣

I can't believe the plaintiff lied after trying to put the defendant's character down, smh.

She was out the extra thousand for the rental of equipment and should’ve been paid back for that since he admitted it should’ve been included in what she was paying him to do. That’s the only part I disagree with

i’m not even gonna lie, as soon as the first thing she had to say about the case was that he was an ex-con, i knew she was going to be in the wrong

Both judges as a couple are so cute to me! I love them together! They just fit like a puzzle.

I’m glad he won and glad she fired him. She would’ve been a worse nightmare for him. It bothers me when ppl try to shame another person but it didn’t bother her before. She still hired him. And she was caught red handed lying. He lucky to be rid of her

Wow this lady is a piece of work !! She should never belittle him !

"fee for services......$30 an hour. you wanna watch.....$40. You wanna help.....$50 an hour.

Plaintiff said I need a HOT roller set!!!!

I read the posted comments. Most of them are ( ). I am a contractor, in business for over 35 years. First, a dollar amount had to be firmly established in writing. So say 4800. If 7000 was the average he was too cheap. Keep the 4800 - 30% down, 30% halfway through with an established mutually agreed to baseline, then the remainder on completion. What skills did he actually possess, and, if he did drop a bag of weed in her home she should have asked him to leave. If I have to explain why you would definitely not be one of my customers. Did he present her with plans? Did he know a permit was needed? Who was the other contractor - was he insured? Everything this gentleman did sounded borderline incompetent. Now let's get to her. She's a moron. That line about being "too judgmental" was nonsense. She wanted to use her card to get the supplies with - no. Period. Moreover, this should never have been any kind of "collaboration" between the two. She has a clear idea of what will happen because he presents such to her, and that didn't happen. I didn't see a shred of professionalism from him, and I saw a woman who makes really bad choices about the people she associates with. I'm a professional; the contractors I work with are professionals, we answer to a higher standard, and watching this exchange between two idiots is painful.

I am sick of these 3 minute long commercials. A commercial on KZfaq should be no longer than a commercial on television.

The knuckle cracking and aggressively yanking out her headphones made me laugh. I'm glad she got caught!

Glad the defendant won! The plaintiff was shown so many red flags in advance with this guy and still gave no hesitation. Oh she was trying not to be too judgmental. What an excuse. 🤦‍♀️ There are none so blind as those who will not see.

You can knock him all you want but he doesn’t have to pay you. 😂😂

I'm glad def won. I don't know about his building skill level, but there's something sketchy about her. trying to be sweet, but as it went along, and then when she started being dressed down, her real karen vibe started showing.

Not the flim flam scam man...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ooh! Judge Milian did not appreciate the plaintiffs claim that she paid $7,000! Don't lie to the Judge lady.

This is like watching a lion eat someone, then going over and petting the lion. All the signs were there and she still went in

The plaintiff cracking her knuckles seems like she’s making a threat

Plantiff look like someone who wants everything for free 🤣

John got me at the end !!!! “Blunt in the kitchen” “frontin money from jump street” 😂😂😂

I wouldn’t have let him do the job after he pulled out the weed.

It always amazes me how their 'criminal past' is never an issue and they still hire them until they decide to take them to court then they can't wait to tell everyone about it🤷

Both plaintiff and defendant are awful. Defendant is a lazy, lying, condescending, patronizing a$$. Plaintiff is a liar. "I said some things I shouldn't have." Yeah, you mean you lied to the judge's face. I disagree with JM that he did $2,000 worth of work. He tore down the old deck and dug some holes (on plaintiff's dime for the rental), and he left a huge mess behind. That's not worth $2K. In a perfect world, plaintiff would've gotten at least half of it back and it would've gone directly to her neighbors who helped her out.

She took a picture of the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland to her hair dresser.

The cracking of fingers... your in court! After she messed up! Done!

Does that contractor have a towel covering his cabinets? Dude knows hes going to be on tv...could have tried to find a less crappy back drop.

Dude looks like he's in jail again lol

JM would have given her something back if she hadn't lied about the amount she paid her neighbors. But bottom line she had a clear picture of who she was hiring.

Plaintiff's hair is on point.

The defendant reminds me of Mark Wahlberg

Thank your friend for nothing!! Silly woman. Get it in writing..contract always needed for any project! Yes, pretty hair.

I LOVE her hair….

She was hoping he would share your weed

She screwed herself saying 7k.. my God my didbshe saythat.. I'd drop the case right there...

The Wahlberg Is strong un the defendant

I love her hair!

Never ever lie to a judge! All credibility goes out the door, you never know what evidence they have in front of them.

Bad math judge. She paid $6000 for a $4800 job.

Judge. You should relax. Don’t make such sexist comments. Relax. Chill.

She screwed herself by lying

That thing looks like she's about to fly away!! 🙄😳

Don't worry your pretty little head......😕

This is a prime example of a "hookup" gone wrong. I think she was supposed to pay $4800 and no permit fees. Those same neighbors, probably started asking questions and she had to. That hookup cost her $6000 plus.

Yassss voluminous curls!!!!! Come thru!!!!! Round Brush game on point Girl!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 💃 💃💃💃💃

The judge sure had her little feminist fit in this one clearly. As a man, don't say this to a woman? Excuse me? I thought you were for equality

The plaintiff is that kind of neighborhood chic that you want on your side when you have a problem on the block. And her hair is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love the verdict, the plaintiff lied to her face when she said $7,000. She's dirty to try and get money when she doesn't deserve it. Sickening

Both of these people seem extremely dishonest and disingenuous. I wouldn’t trust either of them, and I certainly wouldn’t have hired him as a contractor.

The plaintiff is in desperate need of a hairdresser! Oh she was pissed that the judge decided in his favor! She ripped out her earphones and threw them down...😆😂 She was scamming to get a free deck out of it.

Doug came out swinging on the Plantiff after the verdict 🤭😭😂🤣

5 minutes in things don’t add up with the plaintiffs story. I don’t believe her excuses AT ALL. Trying to get something for nothing. Judge; Man or Woman, someone telling me to relax annoys me. 😒

the plaintiff has pretty hair.

Mark Wahlberg looks amazing 😻

That women is cray.. he is a looney to though but us red heds are hot headed! Stay away from us! Lol we will check our bags at the drive thru line at McDonald's hahaha

Lol gonna take a wild guess and say that neither of them are easy to talk to 😂

Glad he won 🎊🎉

Speaking from personal experience, Crohn's Disease is a freaking nightmare that severely limits your quality of life and ability to work, but it doesn't turn you into a condescending ass hat. (My Crohn's meds cost $150,000 / year and I'm one surgery away from a feeding tube and possible euthanasia.)

That woman is not to smart. Why would she say anything about him being professional....SMH

The guy did his time in prison and is now trying to get his life together and the judge is complaining about how he spoke to the woman,what judge corrects how people speak to each other and it's not like he cussed her out or even yelled and I know it's tv court but not everybody lives their life like the judge.

Why hire a guy who brings weed with him on his first visit? That's not being judgmental; that's being not smart. Her friends are not the ones paying for her work so she has every right to choose the right one for the job.

Women who trust like this woman will continuously end up in court. It truly shows, the older most women get, the more foolish they become and like life's lessons have taught them absolutely *nothing.* Now watch as she gets all pissed off if she loses her case. Nobody should feel sorry for the willfully foolish. I sure won't. In less than five minutes of listening into this video, I was shaking my head and couldn't stomach anymore.

The plaintiff looks like she playing solitaire…pay attention 😂

I wonder what that towel behind him is hiding lol

I think she was almost winning until she started to lie right to the judge's face...

You can see the regret when she is caught in her lies😂. I don’t blame her for firing him but she is also a liar! Glad she didn’t get any money back. I just don’t get how people fill out forms and write a complaint but don’t remember what they put down. Did she think no one read it. Did she forget or decide to add it on 🙄

I love it when to some people the eeeeeeeeevil marijuana is right is the same as shooting up or something. 😆

Mark Wahlberg and character actor Margo Martindale

A Con man is a con man. Plaintiff was a fool to hand over 2K with nothing in writing.

he looks a lot like Mark Wahlberg...just saying ...

So she went cheap and crys about it now? Meam hire a licensed contractor and pay the 7 to 10 thousand dlls, I promise they will let you help no problem

I'm not arguing as to who was right or wrong but I don't think I believe that the plaintiff even paid her neighbors $4,000 I think she may have paid them something but I think it was very little, I think the fact that she got caught in a blatant lie trying to get extra money shows that you can't trust her word, if I was the judge I would have dismissed her case right then and there, it's not like she made a mistake in the math she just wanted to get more money from the court.

opposition to drug addiction is NOT "judgemental". he CHOOSES to be a drug addict.

I believe him. She’s definitely Karen’s mom

Judge Milian " Don't call me Miss is judge. Okay Miss judge. 😅🤣😂

He looks like that actor that owns his own ford dealership he played in brothers . I can’t think of his name but see him

I'm 4 minutes in, and the plaintiff seems off, but I don't believe he accomplished the job in a timely manner either. They both have bad personality traits in my opinion.

I'm glad the defendant won. She has a problem, she lied to the Court on how much it cost. And cracking her knuckles is just showing the atmosphere that was on the job. She's a nutcase.

Sooo many red flags before she ever gave him a dime. Maybe in the future she will worry less about others finding her judgmental and go with her gut.

From what I understand he has to wait for the 3rd permit before starting work again. What am I missing? Johnny's lucky he got away when he did,,,she's got a temper.

Ah I note in this clip as the Judges are speaking, the scale in the background was lower on the left side, now it's lower on the right. Does this indicate leanings or doessomeone just play with the scale? Why not GLUE it to a level position? LOL

Just another crummy guy who has a problem showing up to work, but she she should have had a clue, but I agree, you can't get it done for free.

Somebody got busted 😂!

Sounds like the girlfriend showed up to work more than he did. 😂

I love it that she lost for being a liar

I feel like you should have your camera or phone up on something so you not staring down at it while doing a court case lol gravity isn't always a blessing 😂

Plaintiff not a happy camper...

the plaintiff most likely planned this from the start . thats why she did not look for professional licensed deck builders but she probably asked her so called girlfriend ( maybe someone she sort of disliked anyway ) if she knew any guys that did that kind of work and i bet the plaintiff's plan all along was to pay the defendant the 2k up front and then wait until he completed the whole job and then stiff him on the rest and end up only paying 2k for the whole job . but the defendant , being the street smart guy that he is , somehow picked up on that half way through the job , so she got mad that he figured it out and she sued him .

Johnny looks alot like Mark Wahlberg 😅😅

This Plaintiff is a total train wreck. To come into court saying she paid one amount, then inflating it almost SEVEN times is ridiculous. JM should have just thrown her case out at that point. The Defendant seemed like a nice guy- and I have to disagree with JM on calling the Defendant out for "mainsplaining"- I think he was trying to actually calm her down.

I LOVE THE FACT JOHN SAYS ALL THE LINGO..."THE BLUNT" .."THE JOINT" 😂😂 He wit it!!! Just rolled of his tongue 😜 * disclaimer..I don't smoke or have never been to jail..but ALL my family has & this is how they speak* 🤦🏾‍♀️😜
