It’s nice to see a different case that’s not a car accident, dog bite, or a damn rental issue

What in the ‘Samuel L. Jackson’ is going on HERE! 😂😮

He didn’t have to share the family secrets 😢

I half expected the defendant to break into the Soul Glo jingle with that jheri curl, haha.

The plaintiff needs to get her own bank account.

The judge was putting words into the defendant's mouth that he didn't even say. She gave him way too much credit. He straight up said he felt like the money was his (with no real justification). Then for him to bring up the fact that she wasn't his biological daughter is messed up. It did nothing to aid his argument. He's toxic.

The defendant out here looking like Big Worm from Friday.

Why did he bring up her not knowing who her father is?? Then bringing up her mom getting pregnant with her by a drug dealer for drugs?? Wow. I doubt that relationship is gonna be repaired.

The defendant is wearing a pulp fiction wig.

So glad she got her money. He literally stole it from her.

I think the judge misunderstood his reasons for saying it was his money. He felt like he was claiming it as a debt owed to him for money he spent on her over the years.

Yeah this was a tough one. Seeing her reaction I don’t think the dad was as good as the judge thought.

Oh snap the father just told it allll!

Im glad the judge asked questions about the family dynamics

That man don’t like those kids. Judge is giving him WAY too much credit.

The father at the end saying he doesn’t care if he sees his daughters again…that hurt. Then the daughter dropped a truth bomb. Ugh.

How disgusting for that father to say in court that his daughter is not his and the mother cheated .it clearly upset the plaintiff 😢😢

The dad thinks the money is his, but it’s not…. Nor is it his right to tell her what to do with it

I believe he’s controlling and abusive like she said.

One of the only things that annoys me is JM always puts the parents in a high and mighty position. Some parents suck and don’t deserve to have their kids in their life

This father VERY clearly STOLE the money just because he feels like he can. Parent or not you don’t get to steal ESPECIALLY from your damn kids.

The judge was too lenient on defendant. He took the money not out of some altruistic goodness to protect her. This was more he felt entitled

The father said too much😢.

Well then,the judge couldn't be more wrong about this family not being broken. It's been broken for years. And the father was actually claiming the school money as his own like it was owed to him. Not cause of whatever the judge was tryna say. Wow,jm read this case all so wrong besides the verdict. Dude literally kept saying "it's my money" like 3 or more times

I remember a period of years when I never saw my mother because all she did was work 6 days a week to provide shelter and food for us. I would be damned to say all she did was pay for shelter and food 😂 if she didn’t work crazy hours we would have been on the street and starving. And because of her actions, my first check as a graduate I gave her as a thank you for being the real MVP.

he is so spiteful and wasn’t considerate of her feelings . very sad

The defendant is angry with his ex-wife and he's taking it out on his daughter. His wife kept cheating on him. They had two daughters. They made a deal, they won't tell anybody that (the plaintiff) wasn't his biological daughter. Then his wife got mad at him and she told everybody (including) the plaintiff, Just to hurt him. But, she really hurt her daughter. A lot of times family come to court for one reason and they start talking about something completely different. 😢 This reminds me of the case where the young man was suing his mother. He started talking about stuff that was going on in her house, when he was growing up. His mother quickly jumped in and started saying all kinds of horrible things about her son 😢

The judge was too biased here. Pushing the narrative that he’s a good father when we don’t know him. He kept on demanding that it’s “his money” when it’s not. It’s a government grant she got for going to school. It was in savings for two years before any issue came up and he took it without telling her. Just because you raised her and spent money on her along the way, doesn’t give you the right to 4 thousand dollars in grant money.

To bring up that he’s not her bio-dad is just wrong 💔

This is hard to watch at the end.. not sure why the father revealed so much personal info at the end. Seem like he wanted to hurt her but I bet he is her father. Hope she finds peace and forgive him for everything and don’t let it affect her future! 🙏🏾

What a spiteful defendant; there was no need to air all of that dirty laundry in public. He claims the mother told the plaintiff that he wasn't her bio dad to hurt him, but what does he think he did to his daughter...and on TV?!? A rational person might realize that his daughter would eventually be grateful that he didn't turn his back on her and raised her as his own. What a small man he is...

Him bringing up family dynamics was spiteful. His interview with Doug tells everything about his lack of character.

His wife and all of her facial expressions at the end are very telling smh. I hope his daughter finds healing….that was hard to hear and watch. You can see the sadness in her eyes

The defendant showed his true colors when he aired all the dirty laundry in national tv. What a horrible man.

I think the judge got the defendants intentions all wrong… she really painted him to be an amazing father who just didn’t want to see his daughter waste money on a vacation… I saw through his BS! Then his daughters confirmed all my suspicions at the end .. I love being right 😂

My kids owe me nothing...what I do is out of love. It really bothers me when people bring it up like the child owes a debt

Judge Milian, your message here at the end so so beautiful and timely. My first born enlisted in the army and she left the nest this morning to start on that journey. It’s so hard to let go but we have to let the tree grow. 😢

As a parent, we paid for many things while our son was growing up and we would never have expected him to repay a single penny! He is now almost 44 with a wife and children and would help them whenever he could ! We help our children if and when we can and don’t do it for the expectation of repayment. We do it because we love them!

JM is very naive about families sometimes. A lot of times. Shes lucky she can’t relate to the toxicity, but it can get annoying at times

Judge Milian so nosey and I love it! lol she asked all the right questions

7:52 he was dead wrong for bringing up that he wasn’t her biological father. This had nothing to do with the case

I was so sad when he said the mom told her to hurt him..

I would never sue my dad.

I'm so piss for that father to bring up the fact that he's not her biological father and looking at her you can definitely tell she did not want that brought up shame on him a that funky hairdo.

The father is stealing his daughters money. I think he felt that he adopted her, paid for her, and he deserves the money. Sorry dad, it is not your money.

Heck I'm afraid my mom would sue me after all the money I've "borrowed" through out my life😂

The judge didn’t get the fact the father stole the money 2 years before! He took the money then tried to say “ he was paying himself back!” He was a pos clearly!!! Bringing up bs during this case! The judge needs to mind her business and actually hear the case out!!!

The dude in the beginning of " People's Court " has the best voice in the business. This is the main reason I watch this show !

His daughters are beautiful ❤

No way he really wearing that wig 😂😂😂

The judge almost choked on her tea when she heard her stepfather break the news

He’s a good father trying to protect her from mistakes, she just gotta learn!

This is what happens when you don't have a close relationship with you child that involves everything. A true father is fair and honest and loves his child unconditionally and that child does the same. Thankful that my daughter even in her 30's calls me when she has a problem. Although her and her mom as close as thick as thieves.

This guy wasn't kidding around when he decided to air all of his family's dirty laundry on national TV. Geez

So let her WASTE the money and let her come crawling back.

Damn I came to hike on his hair but I can’t … salute to this brother , he’s a stand up father … unfortunately this happens but i salute him for raising three girls on his own

I respect Judge M so much, but I think she didn't really get why the father took the money...he felt that he'd paid towards her college and that the money in the joint account was his because he'd contributed so much more. He also wanted control I'm sure. The father spilling all the family secrets in such a public forum was despicable & hateful. He was angry and vindictive and really immature. This was really sad, I wonder if that relationship was even worth salvaging. I wish the very best of luck to the plaintiff, she seems like such a mature & sweet young woman.

There's so much not being said. They're both loudly silent about something. Family secrets...hmmmmm

“He would put some checks” such a flippant way to say he worked straight weeks just so you could have money for school

The best quote I heard from a parent was : "We raise our kids to not need us when they are an adult and that's the best we can hope for". As a kid you need to know when to be a grown up and as a parent you need to know when to let go.

That 70s hair piece 😂😅

This episode should've been called...How Low can you go!! This is no father! 😢

It’s wild how he thinks it’s so awful that she took him to court but has no problem with taking her money. I believe the plaintiff, the defendant is a liar.

Damn! The man has no filter he's spilling the beans....😂😜

Just because you may not agree with the choices your children make doesn't mean you have right to money that was given to them. He was trying to hurt her when he reminded her that she isn't his and that her "real dad" is a drug dealer. Smh he didn't have to say that.

Father is a SCUMBAG and jealous his daughter is making her life better. Children do not ask to be born. It is a REAL parents responsibility to help, provide EVEN COLLEGE expenses. A successful parent provides for the success of their children. This isn't a silver spoon situation. This plaintiff is poised, well spoken and DESERVES THE WORLD. GOD BLESS YOU MY DEAR! WE NEED MORE HUMAN BEINGS LIKE YOU ❤️🙏

Why would he be spiteful like that. 😔

Is nobody else offended that the judge would hope the daughter has 30 plus more boyfriends???

I wonder if it's his money? "I told her if she does good in school, I'll buy her a car. It my money." "I supported her for 16 years. It my money." Sheesh.

When I was 19, younger than the plaintiff, I had control of a lot more money and assets than $4k and it didn’t go so well so I can understand why this case happened, but if the defendant raise the plaintiff right he should trust her with her own money.

That "father" is toxic AF. I was so annoyed to hear the judge try to defend his position and tell the daughter to play nice, and that was before it all came out in the exit interview. I wish these women the best and hopefully they've moved on from harmful familial relationships.

Don't understand why she would give the money to the father in the first place if he was such a horrible father? Why not have her mother open the account? I suspect the daughter wasn't the angel she was pretending to be

The father was clearly overprotective, which is common in old school foreign fathers.

The dirty laundry came out in this case.😮

What is the dad doing dragging their MOTHER like this??? What a bitter man. That’s sick

She kept pushing the « you’re a good dad caring for his daughter safety » narrative. I have real doubts about how good of a father he is after hearing all the words that came out of his house.

Immediately he is wrong for that hairdo.

Just pointing out that he didnt have to say all that bad stuff about the mother? How messy was he seems mean. He didnt seem as good as he tried to portray himself as.😅

That guy is hurt, he just blurting out their family secrets... This family can fix this and it starts with the Father. The Girls are grown, its up to him and them girls to fix this relationship.

Wow he was straight forward and brutal with revealing that info. Ouch.

My mouth dropped open when he said he wasn't her real dad and it cut to break. I was like no he didn't do that to her on national TV. Then it came back she knew already but somehow it still seems very wrong that he brought that up. Plus all the moms business. He was wrong for that.

My dad would NEVER!!!

Girl is going to pay interest on 4k to go on vacation 😂😂

He clearly does not care about his daughter he just wanted the money; he said it multiple times

The Judge had this one all wrong... I could instantly tell that there was so much more going on between her and the father. Her body language, and the fact that she was continually holding back her tears and emotion, spoke volumes and you could feel the tension and darkness between them. I don't doubt that he loves and cares for his daughter but I do think that he has an unhealthy and toxic way of showing it and he clearly got his priorities out of line for him to put money before family. I also believe that the Mother's affair, that resulted in the daughter being born, remains a sore spot in their family and he never truly got over it. And despite raising her and loving her as his own, I think that he has subconsciously taken out the Mother's mistake on the daughter because even though it's obviously not her fault, she's still a constant reminder of that infidelity and betrayal. Additionally, I believe that there are a lot of cultural and generational differences at play here that drives that disconnect going on between them, giving them completely different perspectives on life. For example, the DV that she mentioned happened to them growing up. Not to excuse or defend that behavior from the father but to him, growing up in a completely different culture and generation, that is typically seen as a normal form of discipline and not as taboo as it is here, especially nowadays.

He clearly needed a new wig

Clutch my pearls!! He is airing it all out. My goodness

The judge kept putting words in the father's mouth! He didn't take that money because he knew it was his daughter's but didn't want her to waste it on a holiday, he truly felt that it was his and owed to him for all the hand-outs he had given her over the years. He stole that money out of the account and had no intention of ever giving it back, he alone has ruined his relationship with his daughter...

Tell me somebody peep his bald spot when the trail 1st started and the camera was a outside view of the court room I fell out 😂

A huge red flag is any parent saying "I did xyz for my child for xx years!". No good parent would ever lord that over their kids. I feel so bad for her. I hated JM for this one. She's a judge so she's meant to be unbiased but it feels like all her cases lately are completely biased. I honestly hope she changes her ways because if she keeps being biased like this, it's a quick way to lose her judgeship. She's literally going against the fundamental rules of what being a judge is. You ask questions but never be personal about the case and never insert yourself into the case either. You don’t relate to any person and you simply look at the facts. The facts of this case was that she got grant money and he stole it. He stated he felt entitled to it but its government money that was given to her and her only. This was such an open and shut case. Letting him take the stage and venting his aggressions and anger about her mother's discretions and the circumstances of her birth is just horrible. JM even saw the daughter shocked and getting upset and saw the sister comfort her yet did nothing to stop the madman from spilling things that shouldn't be spilt. Not every parent is good. Not every parent has a right to have anything to do with their child. This father showed his true colours and instead of seeing it, she ignored it. I've seen her do this before and I seriously hate it. Not only that but "all money is mine" but gifts and "support" is not something that needs repayment. Giving a child a phone or buying food or paying for extracurriculars are all covered under "supporting a minor". Thats a given. They are entitled to have those things. To say that she says to her kids that their phone is hers and that she demands passcodes and it's not an invasion of privacy is so wrong. It's almost criminally wrong. Imagine giving a child a teddy since they cry when sleeping alone but you decide to put a hidden camera in the teddy. This is the same level of invasion yet the teddy would be considered more of a crime than the phone. But both things are invasions of privacy and both things are a gift given. I'm so disgusted with JM for this case and her own admission of her treatment of her kids.

The dad is a mean!airing all that dirty laundry no concern about anyone's feelings!😢

I like this interview crowd. 😂 Lively group. 🤣👏

I think the mom figured her 16 year old daughter deserves to know that he is not her biological father... I hope the moms only motivation wasn't to hurt the dad that had been there for 16 years

If the plaintiff sees this!!! Sorry ur father is a POS!! You turned out great by the looks of things!! Keep doing what your doing!! Have fun on ur trip exploring the world!

dude killin it with the j-curl

They're not your phones. They're gifts you've given to your children. Hope you don't expect your children to visit when they're adults.

I think JM got it wrong when she said she felt this wasn’t a broken family, by the daughter’s comments at the end of what she said about her father, she never had a good relationship with him.

I hope these girls see that you should pick one honorable, decent man who works hard is loyal to you , to his family and to God. That man stuck with them despite a cheating wife and working hard of his own effort and will.

Why does she always tell? 😮😮😂 The energy 🎉

Saw that perm and had to watch it immediately. 🤣🤣🤣
