The defendant definitely isn't making good decisions if she moves a guy into her home who just got out of rehab to live with her and her 5 year old son. Mother's need to put their children first!!!

Mom is the very definition of enabler.

It was her loan and she owed it, but I would feel like an idiot for suing someone who financially supported my loser son for 2 years.

3:15 “what was ur son doing for those TWO YEARS?” “He was looking for a job”. 😂😂😂 shuuuut up

She moved a drug addict into her home with her 5 year old son? Seriously?

Ahhhh, the ol' "I'm getting a Big tax refund" trick!

Even though I understand why the plaintiff won the case, I feel badly for the defendant. It really does seem that the mother went after her for the money mostly out of anger about her son being arrested. The defendant didn’t even press charges for the domestic abuse (she absolutely should have though). She was ethical about returning the cross pendant without needing to be asked to do so. She moved out of the house with her young child because the plaintiff wanted her to move instead of asking the son to go through the hassle. She seems like a decent person. Also, even when she didn’t have much money she still made some small payments ($10) because she was trying to honor her commitment to pay the debt. (Something I doubt the unemployed son would have done.) I realize that she still owed the money, but it just seems like the plaintiff was mostly motivated by anger about her son being in trouble. I wish there could have been another outcome. Obviously the plaintiff’s son benefitted from those loans indirectly because he was able to live rent free and job free for 2 years.

She really sat there and justified her sons actions

You must be proud of your son.. he is doing a fantastic job doing nothing

My son's girlfriend moved down here to Florida from just south of Chicago and needed a car. I loaned her the money and we signed a written agreement. She paid it off early. They got married 5 years ago and she's sharp when it comes to money and she never misses a beat. In fact she got him saving like crazy something his dad failed to do. LOL

Plaintiff’s son was job hunting… for two years!🤷‍♀️😂

This mother is such a liar she is trying to get even with her for having put him behind bars

Never lend more money out than you can afford to loose

You should never lend money to someone with no means of paying it back, if they claim they will repay with tax refune, above all.... have that Promissory Note.

The old “refund check” is the oldest routine.

He. Benefited he should pay half

She lent money to a woman taking care of her son for two years. Her son will never be productive. I hope the best for that young lady. Only blessings from here.

1:36 Who is gulping here? It's driving me crazy 😅

She needs to be suing her sorry son.

Girl nobody offers to pay your debts

I should not have to hear them swallow . Gross

Violence for whatever reason is BAD

Her son should Liable for half

Why isn't the son paying one half of the bill?

Never lend kids money. Never lend anyone money because if the can't get it on their own, then you probably won't get paid.

As Judge Judy says no good deed goes unpunished

Is that sound her swallowing ? 🤮

0:27 😂😂😂 these 3 walk in like those Russian dolls 🪆 when ya open one, there one smaller inside!! 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for reminding me not to lend money

And I thought I was an idiot for staying with my abusive alcoholic husband for 15 years…geez!

Mom got on binoculars and still can’t see. Parents like this is why kids grow up entitled

The plaintiff is definitely suing out of spite for getting her POS son arrested! The defendant knows this, so I’d ask the judge if I were to talk to my local PD can I still press charges for assault? See the moms face drop 😂😂😂

Many parents shell out money to get rid of their drug addicted children. They put them off on girlfriends to get rid of the burden...

Don't let people borrow money.

"She lured him to her house." "She manipulated me." "She pressed his buttons." Knock off the victim talk already. WAY too old for that!

Why isn’t the son just paying? He mooched off the GF and that money actually supported him. The plaintiff is in denial of the monster she raised. DV is horrible. I wouldn’t leave a child with him as defendant did.

I just noticed that the guy who walked in with the defendent in the beginning is Mass Of Man (singer/rapper) . I love his song "Fallen Angel"

I’ve noticed a trend. The losers never accept responsibility 😂

Don't lend money if you expect to get it back.

I bet if that man opens his hoodie we would see him on someone’s shoulders. He is huge! Almost looks fake 😭😂

The defendant acted so innocent until she made facial expressions toward the judge after the ruling

First minute impressions: seem like a classy bunch.

The gulping sounds, ugh.

That is a big, big boy on the defendants side...Damn!

That dude with the defendant is huge wtf

Wooowwwww. No wonder he is the way he is.

Pressing buttons is a slang for PROVOKING

You should never get back with an abuser. It never works out because the abuse will never stop. You cannot fix an unfixable person.

“I didn’t want to take her money, it was her idea. She forced me to buy a new house with her son”. Yeah, sounds legit 🤣 🤣 🤣

OMG DOUG!!!!’😂😂😂

Not defending abuse (if it actually happened), but the son's behavior and drug habit had absolutely no bearing on this case. Although Judge M did finally get around to saying 'but that's not why I'm here', lol.

Never lend any money you cannot afford to lose. Either give if you can, but never lend money.

Parents, (ladies AND fellas) DON'T move someone into your home with your children until you TRULY KNOW THEM.... 5 months is not truly knowing someone. Especially don 't leave them alone with your kids.

At the end, she didn't care... because she knows that the show pays whatever the final judgement is.

Oh my gosh that's one big dude! 😂

I never asked for it… They never said it was going to be a loan … I thought it was a gift… That’s all these people say the same thing. If somebody gives you money, pay it back.

I cant believe these people dont actually have to pay. I cant watch peoples court the same now that i know

Defendant's, posse made sure to show his tat 😮😂😂

The mother calls putting the boy on the bus and taking the boy off the bus as a duty? What does that have to do with him getting a job? Her son is a bum.

Why didn’t the judge took in consideration that the plaintiffs son was dropping the kid at the bus stop? That’s extremely hard work and that’s probably the reason he wasn’t finding a job and using drugs, he’s only 28 and still a mommy’s baby.

I totally disagree with this case. If they were on Judge Judy, she would have made that crackhead son pay half

Sorry, if defendant was paying all the rent, she shouldn't have to pay. Judge Judy had a similar case where she dismissed the case- all she said was, "He paid for some of the months."

Legally the Defendant owes the money. Morally, after supporting the son for 2 years(the Defendant), the Plaintiff should have let it go. Also, pretty slick saying the son came to her asking for money on BEHALF of the Defendant. Let the Plaintiff get the money FROM HER SON. The Defendant's actions with returning the cross shows that she is a moral person. She's better off without the Plaintiff's son in her life.

The mother justifies everything her son does!! He’s a LOSER ma’am!

A shame that deserving individuals like this have to worry about housing and such. Let's hope that when they have children that the children have programs to take care of them.

Does anyone else think if she stayed with the loser son then she would not be sued? I think the enabler mom only did it out of anger. Her son definitely doesn't take accountability for anything and she cleans up all his messes

Wait. What? Did the gf think if she told JM that it wasn’t her idea it would’ve turned out any differently??? Omg. 🙄

Look at the defendant’s eyes! So shifty! up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A….. Konami code! Haha…

12:28 😮omg the monster behind her! Lol! Ironic Tattoo behind her head lol

Honestly, what this woman's son did to someone else.Is not the point here.The point is she owes her money. 3:04 The cops will stop taking you serious if you continue to put yourself back into a dangerous situation with someone. It may sound harsh but it's true. 3:31 Come on, mom open your eyes.It doesn't take anyone two years to find a job if they're really looking !!

🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽Wow my eyes couldn’t stop staring at the Brother walking into court Wow🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽

Isn't he still the third (III) Herbert? 😂😅

Sounds like mom's had a sour worthless seed 👼🏻😂

Normally I would say pay up, but the money was obviously for the defendant and the plaintiff's son. I think she should have to pay only half back. She wouldn't have given her the money if she was not with the son.

“…get your life together”? Didn’t her son get out of rehab and then move in with her? Ma’am…

Girl shut up and pay the money back.

The plaintiff is a liar

That chick is pure evil

That’s a big dude 😮

wasn't part of the loan for expenses that were jointly insured by her son as well, why does she have to pay it all back.

I think his mother should get a clue. Her son's drug addict. She needs to worry about her son getting clean and getting him help. If he lived there Two years with no job, the mom don't deserve anything

Lady she paid your credit card debit just pay her and stop thinking because a relationship was bad and failed your no longer obligated to your finicial debts!

So, you move a recovering heroin addict in w you and your kids? K. His mom tells you that it'll be better for YOU and YOUR kids to move out of the home that YOU pay rent for....and you do it??? TF?? And, the mom is an enabler based on her saying that the gf pressed his buttons---plus, she was trying to make it seem like him putting her kid on the bus was equivalent to paying rent.

The judge is so back and forth with the way she rules on cases I've seen her many times tell someone that because they had no record of trying to get the money for a long period of time that that they didn't owe the money because it was either a spouse or a family member, I also think if the judge was going to make the defendant pay the money back that she should have only been responsible to pay half of it, so because the plaintiffs son was a bum loser he was responsible for absolutely zero when it came to the financial aspect of their relationship!

The soune of her gulping water is awful😖

I kinda believe the defendant in this one… seems like the mom would have done anything to have her son have a better life… then a year goes by and he beats the defendant and they break up so she wants money back.

Crazy how somehow can rack up 3 grand in credit card debt and get bailed out by your boyfriends mom and then somehow your not responsible to pay back is crazy

Nobody but nobody has a tax return due, it's a tax return once it's in your account, until then it don't exist no matter what is written, proposed or told.

unfortunately the fact that he was abusive had nothing to do with the case, she borrowed the money and she has to pay it back. All that other information was just to give background. If she would have gotten it in writing and the lady said you don't have to pay me back, the judge may have considered that.

Did you know the production company pays the verdict plus each one gets an appearance fee plus airline tickets?

10:50 why are all these people acting like divorce isn't a thing?

Ah yes.. the losers classic defense.. "she didn't let me speak"

I wasn’t aware that it takes 2 years to find a job. The son is definitely a loser….

That looks like mass of man the music artist

The fact that this chick can't muster up enough Pride to pay back such a large amount of cash to someone who was kind enough to help her out. I'd be ashamed and embarrassed!! Hopefully the Plaintiff smartens up too and STOPS loaning out money2ppl whom she isn't even related too..

Defendant is also a deadbeat

I don’t think the plaintiff should’ve won. They didn’t have a written contract everything was verbal so if she verbally said the loan was forgiven how is able to just change her mind? And it’s like the judge missed the part where the plaintiff said her son would call and say Amanda needed help as if his bum ass wasn’t staying there and really needed the help😑

The defendant need to make better choices for her kid if not for her own desperate self. The defendant took advantage of the plaintiff plain and simple. She don't owe her a break because her son was there. Its always the ones who let others make a fool of them that try to use others that try to help them. She had no intentions of paying that lady back. The ending shows what a liar and idiot she is.

But she does NOT have to pay it back because the show pays on the loser's behalf.

She spent that money on snacks
