00:00Did you put your hands on her?
00:01Would you? Just a second.
00:03Did you? Did you?
00:05You kicked in her door!
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:08And today, we're counting down our picks
00:11for the cases that prove no one can deliver the drama
00:13quite like our favorite TV judge.
00:16The doctor even confirmed it.
00:17Oh, you could be pregnant.
00:19He's not the father.
00:22Number 30.
00:23The worst apartment ever.
00:25The plaintiff in this case was one of several tenants
00:27in a large house.
00:28And she's come to judge Judy
00:30for the return of rent and security deposit.
00:33But her reason is fairly novel, even for this show.
00:37She witnessed one roommate murder another.
00:40Despite only being there for a month,
00:42the plaintiff is forced to sue the landlord
00:44for her security deposit.
00:46Adding to the bizarre nature of this case
00:48is the landlord's behavior.
00:50Respectfully, Your Honor, it was not a kitchen.
00:52It was a portion of the living room
00:54and it was not a bookshelf.
00:56It was a wall.
00:57We built a wall.
00:57I don't care what you built.
00:59I don't care if you built another Berlin wall.
01:02His blank stare as the judge speaks
01:04seems to suggest that he has no idea
01:07why he owes her anything.
01:08The plaintiff's story is harrowing.
01:10And luckily, Judge Scheindlin
01:12doesn't make her retell it in detail.
01:15So at any time during the course of this,
01:17you could have gone home.
01:17I mean, I did as soon as it was over,
01:20but my parents wanted me to deal with it on my own.
01:22So you would have difficulty at home.
01:25I got it.
01:26You don't have to go any further.
01:27Number 29.
01:28Holding the door.
01:30Politeness and common sense may be in short supply,
01:32but it's nothing to get into a fistfight over.
01:35The litigants in this case were customers
01:37at the same restaurant.
01:38When defendant Carl Pogue held the door open
01:41for his wife and children,
01:43plaintiff Yu Yu Sui zoomed past them.
01:46That's all it took for a grudge to be born.
01:48Ah, there we go, Mr. Polk.
01:51Now that's your problem.
01:53That is a problem only to confront him about not physically
01:56to tell him to reiterate with him
01:59that he was rude for what he did.
02:00The crazy thing is Judge Scheindlin
02:02appears to be on the defendant's side
02:04until of course he admits to going back into the restaurant
02:07to approach the plaintiff.
02:09Then it's a whole new story.
02:11Imagine getting this upset over a minor social faux pas.
02:14His behavior was silly, but your behavior was stupid
02:19and your behavior caused this incident.
02:22Judgment for the plaintiff for the amount of $2,000.
02:25We're done.
02:25Number 28.
02:26Forcing him out.
02:27The plaintiff alleges he and the defendant,
02:30his ex, lived together.
02:32However, she filed an order of protection
02:34that precluded him from being in the house they co-owned.
02:37Once Judge Judy starts digging into the case,
02:40the defendant doesn't respond to the facts or her questions
02:43so much as she begins trying to bury the plaintiff
02:46in heinous allegations.
02:47After the fact he threatened when I caught my daughter
02:50in the bedroom behind the door
02:51when I put laundry in the washer
02:53that was downstairs where his room is.
02:55Regardless of what's true or not,
02:57she feels entitled to the house.
02:59Unfortunately, she can't wait her turn.
03:01She spews a stream of hatred that only stops
03:04when the judge throws her out.
03:06Until you decide to change your mind
03:08and had my daughter behind the closed door.
03:10Get out.
03:11The melodrama continues even after the case is thrown out,
03:15with both individuals offering more details
03:17that sound more like a soap opera than real life.
03:20I was not with her daughter, okay?
03:22Not once have I ever been.
03:23I was her stepdad for 10 years.
03:25He's lying.
03:25He's been lying.
03:26I was the better one.
03:28I took care of him.
03:29Because she and her boyfriend
03:30deliberately tried to take my home from me.
03:32Number 27.
03:34Harassing the landlord.
03:35Maybe the internet was a mistake.
03:37Six young men lived together in a house
03:39owned by plaintiff Mary Klaas
03:41until she exercised her legal right to end their lease.
03:44Not only did defendant Stephen Reed not leave in time,
03:48he launched a crude, obscene,
03:50and degrading harassment campaign against Klaas.
03:53His methods including posting a personal ad
03:55on Craigslist in her name.
03:57These are the actual ads once I finally identified them.
04:03And although Mr. Reed tells me he's pulled them all down,
04:07I'm still getting a trickle.
04:08As Reed's friends, former roommates,
04:10and witnesses sit by and watch,
04:12we get to see in real time as they learn about
04:14some of what went on behind their backs.
04:17Whether his friends knew or not,
04:18it's clear they all have some shame about it.
04:21I'm asking you a question, Mr. Rolrich.
04:23I would make sure that he didn't send that to anyone else.
04:26That's what I thought you would say.
04:27Good man, sit down.
04:31You two can sit down.
04:33Not you, Reed.
04:34Number 26, making up stories.
04:37Miss Rodriguez, what I read is a complaint
04:39that suggests that you and the defendant,
04:42who were friends and perhaps in a relationship
04:44for a brief period of time, had a falling out.
04:46In this case, the plaintiff's eyes
04:48do as much talking as her mouth does.
04:50Her reaction to the judge's assertion
04:52that there may have been a romantic angle
04:54to her relationship with the defendant
04:55is almost operatic.
04:57If silent movies were still a thing,
04:59she'd be a star.
05:00But regarding the borrowed TV she's suing for,
05:03the judge insists her entire story doesn't make sense
05:06unless there was more to it than she's willing to admit.
05:09Just look at me.
05:09Don't think of how this is going to help your story.
05:12Can you repeat the question, please?
05:13Want me to repeat the question?
05:15Yes, ma'am.
05:15So you can process it?
05:16Yes.
05:17Whether it was a friend breakup or a regular breakup,
05:20it's a wild ride.
05:21Competing versions of events
05:23and the plaintiff's confused testimony
05:25make this one particularly thorny,
05:28overdramatic, and genuinely hilarious.
05:31How spiteful that she was in this entire relationship
05:33when I...
05:34Friendship.
05:35Friendship.
05:36Relationship.
05:37Friendship.
05:37Oh, heck.
05:38Don't, don't.
05:38I don't swing that way.
05:40Don't.
05:40Oh my God.
05:41Not my time.
05:41Just a second.
05:42Don't.
05:42Excuse me.
05:43Don't.
05:44Sorry.
05:45Number 25.
05:46Not a good example.
05:47From the jump,
05:49defendant Heather Ramsdell's story just makes no sense.
05:52She didn't hit the plaintiff's car,
05:54but she did stop and get out of her car to talk to her.
05:57She didn't make the scratch on the plaintiff's car,
05:59but she offered to buff out the scratch
06:01even though she had nothing to do with it.
06:03And if the judge needs proof,
06:05her young son is willing to testify on her behalf.
06:08I was going and I saw a car speeding from my left side.
06:12Yeah, just a minute.
06:13He, just to make sure you realize
06:15who you're telling me this story in front of.
06:18Judge Scheindlin smells a rat right away.
06:20She begins to shame the defendant
06:22for lying in front of her son,
06:24who looks terrified the moment the judge speaks to him.
06:27Is that what you want to teach your son how to lie?
06:29No, Your Honor.
06:30Okay, well that's what you're doing.
06:31Because your son was in the car,
06:33he knows that you hit her.
06:34So if what you want to do is teach him
06:36how to grow up to be a liar,
06:38you're doing a good job.
06:39Number 24, busting down the door.
06:42Lisa Palma busted down her tenant's door,
06:45made threats on video,
06:46and gave the judge plenty of attitude.
06:49The craziest thing is
06:51she's actually the plaintiff in this case.
06:53So September, she's not responsible for?
06:54So she could jump out of the window willy-nilly.
06:57What I'm doing is I'm going to throw you out.
07:00She rented a room to defendant Tiffany Colon.
07:02Palma became upset when she realized
07:04that Colon was moving out without notice,
07:07which was legal under her lease.
07:08The judge figures out what happened almost immediately.
07:12You're a liar.
07:12Don't speak.
07:13You're a liar.
07:14You see what she's doing?
07:14I know who she is.
07:16Yeah, it's sad.
07:17Just a second.
07:17It's sad.
07:18I know who she is.
07:20No, you don't.
07:21But she doesn't need much more evidence
07:22than a video of Palma busting in Colon's door
07:25and knocking her phone out of her hand.
07:28When the plaintiff doesn't seem to get the point,
07:30Judge Scheindlin plays the video again
07:32for her millions of viewers.
07:34You had no right to kick in her door.
07:36Yes.
07:37On the 27th, 28th, or 29th of August.
07:41Play it again, Sam.
07:42Number 23, fighting her sister's battles.
07:45A schoolyard scrap between high schoolers is unfortunate,
07:48but it's not all that unusual.
07:51This one was especially unhinged
07:53because only one of the defendants is high school age.
07:56Apparently, an adult sister got involved in the fracas.
07:59The case takes a turn for the worse
08:01when the defendant's clearly hopeless
08:03and detached mother begins to speak
08:05on her daughter's behavior.
08:06When I got there when the fight was over,
08:09why didn't you stop them?
08:11I kept screaming at them.
08:13My honor?
08:13I don't speak!
08:15She's not exactly a stellar witness for the defense.
08:17When the judge says the adult daughter needs to be arrested
08:20and her own children put in foster care,
08:22the mother just nods in agreement.
08:24It paints a pretty bleak picture.
08:26This happened just a couple of weeks ago.
08:28I think the police should arrest you.
08:30You have children?
08:31Yes, I do.
08:32I think they should arrest you.
08:33Take your children, put them in foster care, finished.
08:38Done.
08:39Number 22, an ex to forget.
08:41If there were allegations that you were behaving
08:43in a violent and disturbed manner,
08:45you'd think you would at least clean up your act for court.
08:48Defendant Sabrina Perez can't even control her face
08:51when the plaintiff is speaking.
08:52But given her in-court behavior and the mounting evidence,
08:56his allegations that she vandalized his car
08:58and stalked him appear more and more probable.
09:01Oh, I don't have, I deleted all of their messages.
09:04Why would you do that?
09:05Um, just, we were all arguing.
09:08It just, there was a big fight after that.
09:10Well, that would be all the more reason
09:11to hold on to the text messages.
09:13Perez boasts about weaseling her way
09:15into his life through his friends,
09:16admitting to sleeping with one of them right in court
09:19for no real reason.
09:21There's two different friends.
09:22That friend I was,
09:24this is a friend that I was sleeping with.
09:26The other friend I was actual friends,
09:28mutual friends that they went to high school with.
09:30She throws everything at the wall to see what sticks,
09:33including an impossible pregnancy with the plaintiff.
09:36But Judge Judy isn't buying.
09:38This case is already sounding too much like a bad movie.
09:41You acknowledge that you met him on May 26th.
09:45If you were pregnant and it showed on June 4th
09:49that you were pregnant, not possible.
09:53Number 21, a measured response.
09:56Out of the blue, Valencia Carroll asked her mother
09:59and stepfather to watch her friend's infant
10:01for an undetermined amount of time.
10:03And you're asking your mother to take an infant
10:05into the house to take care of that infant.
10:08It has to do with her husband who lives there.
10:11The audacity is already off the charts.
10:14Immediately, she can't get her story straight for the judge.
10:16The amount of lying she's doing from the jump
10:19is almost impressive, but she's a cool customer.
10:22Not that Judge Judy is fooled.
10:23Well, then which one is it?
10:26Don't, listen.
10:27If you tell the truth, you don't have to have a long memory.
10:30If you're gonna make up stories,
10:31you're gonna look very foolish
10:32and it's gonna be very unpleasant.
10:34Carroll's parents did the sensible thing
10:36and declined to take in someone else's baby.
10:38Having already demonstrated
10:40an interesting sense of logic and reason,
10:42it's no surprise that Carroll's response was unreasonable.
10:45She broke their television
10:47and vandalized her stepfather's car.
10:49Man, she whacked me in the head
10:51with a windshield wiper, bit me.
10:53Annoying, agibating.
10:54Start kicking and punching my car.
10:56She was tripping.
10:57Yeah, I did, but...
10:59Man, she's nuts.
11:01Number 20.
11:02The mother-in-law from...
11:04In what plays like a particularly unhinged sitcom,
11:08the plaintiff in this case, Patricia Renante,
11:11is a disgruntled mother-in-law
11:12who just doesn't get the hint.
11:14She's a nice lady
11:15and you don't look like a bad guy.
11:18You're quiet.
11:19You don't look like a bad guy.
11:20She's too involved in your business.
11:23What?
11:24Mrs. Renante's ongoing acrimony with the defendant,
11:28her son's ex and the mother of her grandchild,
11:31led to a restraining order against her.
11:33The judge knows going in
11:35that she probably deserved it.
11:36And if it's not good for you
11:38to be around a grandparent,
11:39for whatever reason,
11:41either because they're a pot stirrer...
11:43Not a pot stirrer.
11:44Her interruptions and defensiveness
11:46get pretty tiring pretty fast,
11:48but it's her complete lack of accountability
11:50for breaking a restraining order
11:52that really takes the cake.
11:54If there's one thing Judge Judy
11:56has no patience for,
11:57it's people who flagrantly ignore the law.
12:00We're done.
12:01Your Honor, I'm out $2,500 in lawyer fees
12:04because she took me to court.
12:06Absolutely, absolutely perfect.
12:07Number 19.
12:09The Interrupter.
12:09Kim Knoller is suing Thomas Doherty
12:12after he tried to cancel a reservation
12:15at her motorcycle rental business.
12:17You told him, according to your papers,
12:19that you had a no-refund policy,
12:22that you would send him vouchers for another time.
12:25He said, I want my money back.
12:27Though the charges were eventually reversed,
12:30the plaintiff is here to collect for fees incurred.
12:33But the judge finds her business practices pretty harsh.
12:36Even as the judge tries to talk to her,
12:39she keeps repeating herself
12:40as if talking over the judge
12:42is going to change her mind.
12:44The NSF charges that I incurred
12:46for the money going in and out,
12:47the taxes that I had to pay,
12:49and the inconvenience of it all.
12:52I'm not giving you a quarter.
12:53The plaintiff just keeps repeating,
12:55no refunds.
12:57Maybe she thinks it's like a spell.
12:59Great, just a second.
13:00No cancellation policy.
13:01Hey, I'm speaking.
13:02Listen to me.
13:03If you repeat it enough times,
13:05it comes true.
13:06That's not how things work
13:08in Judge Judy's courtroom.
13:10The money went back into your account.
13:12Because he was wrong.
13:13That's why he dropped the dispute.
13:14No, let me tell you something.
13:15If I was in business-
13:16Why did he drop the dispute?
13:16If you're going to talk over me,
13:18I'm going to throw you out of here
13:19and not even explain.
13:20Why did he drop the dispute would be my question.
13:20Just a second.
13:21Number 18.
13:22Why are you laughing?
13:24Judge Judy hears a case about a man
13:26who threw a bottle at someone's car.
13:28I just hit the bar and I was drunk.
13:30What?
13:31Slowly.
13:32Oh, I'm sorry.
13:33Oh.
13:34Why are you laughing?
13:34He readily admits he threw the offending bottle,
13:37but still can't understand how he did the damage.
13:41Pretty standard stuff at first.
13:43But as the suspiciously spacey and red-faced defendant
13:47tries his best to keep it together in court,
13:49he can't even keep from laughing through the case.
13:52We established a moment ago
13:54that you threw the bottle at the car,
13:56that you hit the car,
13:57and that you caused damage to the car.
13:59You said,
13:59Yes.
14:01Nice drink.
14:02No.
14:02The judge can hardly believe he thinks any of this is funny.
14:06She tells him that he's the only fool laughing.
14:09The plaintiff isn't laughing.
14:11Your witness isn't laughing.
14:12The only fool that's laughing would be you.
14:14Oh.
14:15What's hilarious is everyone in the courtroom
14:17is definitely trying not to laugh the whole time.
14:20Number 17.
14:22Your Honor,
14:23that child is a liar.
14:25At least,
14:26that's what this defendant wants the judge to believe.
14:29As the sweet,
14:30soft-spoken little boy who was bitten by her dog
14:33gives his testimony,
14:34defendant Lourdes Rodriguez
14:36can't help but point out the factual inaccuracies.
14:39Like,
14:40she had the leash on her hand
14:41while she was holding on a tish.
14:42I'm sorry,
14:43Your Honor,
14:43that is false.
14:44Just a second,
14:45don't interrupt.
14:46Not the best way to endear yourself to anyone,
14:48let alone the judge.
14:50The judge quickly deduces
14:52that she has a pre-prepared version of the events
14:54that not only makes her look better,
14:56but also completely contradicts her sworn statement.
14:59You know,
15:00when you start to say things
15:01that you've been practicing in your mind
15:04Yes.
15:04to say,
15:05but as you actually articulate them,
15:07they sound stupid.
15:09Okay.
15:09Okay.
15:10The fact that this woman is so willing
15:12to throw this child under the bus
15:13and even blame him for it
15:15is kind of reprehensible.
15:17And if you sense that your dog was agitated,
15:21you cross the street.
15:22You don't direct the child to walk around you.
15:26You get your baby buggy and your dog
15:28and you move them out of harm's way.
15:31Number 16,
15:32bleaching his clothes.
15:33A couple's spat turns into a destruction of property case.
15:37With the plaintiff's clothes covered in bleach.
15:40Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of property
15:42because she poured bleach over the property.
15:44The defendant blames the plaintiff
15:46for most of the damage
15:47for grabbing the bottle of bleach
15:49out of her hand as she was pouring it.
15:51Her arrogance with the judge
15:53is clear from the jump.
15:54Even after she's reminded
15:56she's not on Jerry Springer,
15:57the defendant can't help herself.
15:59Where do you think you are?
16:01You think you're on Springer?
16:02You're not.
16:03The judge rules against her
16:05and dismisses her counterclaim.
16:07And that's when the defendant loses it.
16:10Her behavior is so wild
16:12that the judge is compelled to come back out
16:14and let her have it.
16:16Although there are probably a lot of people
16:18who sympathize with her,
16:19the judge deals with the law,
16:21not morality.
16:22It's my playpen.
16:24I have the word.
16:25You need nothing I gotta say about this place else.
16:28Number 15.
16:29Case dismissed.
16:30Never mind.
16:31Litigants rarely get a second chance
16:33in Judge Judy's courtroom.
16:35A man accused of stealing a television
16:37and assaulting his own sister
16:39sues his mother for false arrest.
16:41However, he storms out
16:43after the judge asks about his previous arrest record.
16:46I'm just talking about this case, Your Honor.
16:48I'm talking about who the party...
16:51I'm talking about this case at hand.
16:53If you don't want to discuss this case,
16:55then we can just dismiss it.
16:57In a rare show of mercy,
16:58she allows him to retry the case
17:00after his outburst.
17:02Things don't go that well
17:03in the second round either.
17:05Through slurred speech,
17:07the plaintiff can barely contain his temper.
17:10Because I didn't steal the TV
17:11that my mom said.
17:12And my mother sat there and said
17:14she hasn't seen me in a while.
17:17His mother can barely look at him
17:19throughout the case.
17:19And given that the daughter involved
17:21in the dispute has recently died,
17:23it's a tragic and unnecessary situation.
17:26They're trying to give me 46 years for this TV.
17:29My life is a little more than 46 years, okay?
17:33Or acting out in jail or whatever.
17:35I didn't do it.
17:35Number 14.
17:37A $5,000 haircut.
17:39When Judge Judy actually bothers with your case
17:42just for the pure entertainment of it,
17:44you know you're in trouble.
17:46The plaintiff told the judge
17:47not to hold his occupation as a lawyer against him.
17:50I'm a lawyer.
17:51Where?
17:52San Antonio, Texas.
17:54Hope you don't use that against me.
17:55No, I'm gonna hold your lawsuit against you
17:57because it's stupid.
17:57In her brilliant, incisive way,
18:00she tells him it's not his profession that offends her.
18:02It's his stupid lawsuit.
18:04The plaintiff, who is, let's say,
18:06not exactly Fabio when it comes to his hair,
18:09is suing a hairstylist who cut his hair too short.
18:12So he's suing for $5,000.
18:15You went to the defendant to have your hair cut.
18:18Whatever hair you have left, you wanted to have cut.
18:21And she cut your hair too short.
18:23The fact that he seems completely earnest
18:25in his lawsuit is even weirder.
18:27Judge Judy is a good sport, though.
18:29It's a ridiculous waste of judicial time.
18:32Only thing is, this is a television courtroom.
18:35So we actually have fun doing sometimes ridiculous cases.
18:39She refunds him the $10 he paid for the cut
18:42and sends him on his way.
18:44You get $10, and that's the judgment of the court.
18:47Goodbye.
18:48Number 13, broken toilet.
18:50Accidents happen, but suing a friend over something
18:53that not only wasn't their fault,
18:55but is supremely embarrassing is low-key evil.
18:58Lisa Reed is suing her former friend,
19:01house cleaner Barbara Loth,
19:03for breaking her toilet when she sat on it.
19:06Judge Judy is rolling her eyes 10 seconds into this case,
19:09and we get the feeling she already knows
19:11how this is gonna go.
19:13All I wanna know is, did you fall on it?
19:15Did you kick it?
19:16Heck no.
19:16Did you hit it with a hammer?
19:18No, no, no, no.
19:20Did you hit it with a wrench?
19:22No, you're on her nose.
19:23It broke.
19:23Though the plaintiff insists her friend broke the toilet
19:26and is responsible,
19:28the judge is less than impressed
19:29with how she handles the situation.
19:31What it amounts to is a plaintiff who's a bad friend,
19:34trying to get money and embarrass her ex-friend.
19:37At least, we hope they're ex-friends.
19:40I agree with you.
19:41The toilet broke while she was using it.
19:46That doesn't mean that she broke it,
19:48and that doesn't mean that she's responsible for it.
19:51The good-natured defendant can definitely do better.
19:55Number 12.
19:56Judge Judy learns about Grindr.
19:58We never thought we'd see the day
20:00when Judge Judy would learn what Grindr was.
20:03However, her reaction is exactly
20:05what we would have thought if she ever did.
20:07The plaintiff in this case, an older man,
20:10and the defendant, a noticeably younger man,
20:13met on an app.
20:14We met on a social website.
20:17What kind of social website?
20:18It's actually called Grindr.
20:19The lawsuit is, unsurprisingly, about unpaid loans.
20:24Judge Judy wanted more information.
20:26This leads to a thorough explanation
20:28of the dating app Grindr.
20:30Although she looks incredibly confused,
20:33some of the audience members clearly know what's up.
20:35You went on this website in order to find someone
20:38who had the same sexual predisposition you did, right?
20:43Um, no, actually, it was just to make friends.
20:44She eventually clicks right back into the case.
20:47She knows exactly what kind of social
20:49and financial arrangement the two had.
20:52However, her initial response to the idea
20:54that the defendant was just making friends on the app
20:57is priceless.
20:58If I was looking just to make friends,
21:00I wouldn't go on a website that said,
21:03you know, it's just for little old Jewish ladies.
21:05Number 11, 10 kids, zero brains.
21:09The Judge Judy courtroom is not the place
21:11to advance your stand-up career.
21:13You'll end up looking like a fool.
21:15So if it's for all your kids,
21:16what kind of kids do you have?
21:17I have about 10 kids.
21:19You have 10 children?
21:20Yes, I do.
21:20Danny Gonzalez didn't need the judge's help
21:23to do that, though.
21:24When the judge expresses some surprise
21:26at the 21-year-old having 10 children,
21:29he responds by making a vulgar,
21:31if somewhat nonsensical joke about the judge's daughter.
21:34How many?
21:35About four.
21:36About four?
21:37What do you mean about four?
21:38What does that mean, about four?
21:39Um, about four of them, including, um, your daughter.
21:43The most pathetic thing is that he really does look terrified,
21:46but stupidity overrode his good sense.
21:49This might be your show, but this is my episode.
21:52No, no, no, no, no, no.
21:53You don't have, shh, listen to me.
21:55You don't have, you don't have an episode.
21:57Despite Gonzalez's obnoxious behavior,
22:00it's actually one of Judge Judy's tamer moments.
22:03Without even raising her voice,
22:05she puts him squarely in his place.
22:07Perhaps if you stayed in school a little longer
22:09instead of stayed out of the bedroom,
22:10you'd understand better.
22:11Number 10, allow me to demonstrate.
22:14Dr. Noel Howell is probably a legend on the dance floor.
22:18What happened, Mr. Howell?
22:19Why did she leave?
22:20The thing is, Judge Judy doesn't have a dance floor.
22:23That didn't stop him from doing an incredibly unfortunate,
22:26but now legendary reenactment of the plaintiff's drunken antics
22:30while on the job.
22:32Her action became so bizarre.
22:34It was hilarious at times, dangerous at times.
22:36During a movie shoot in the Caribbean,
22:38Dr. Howell alleges that the plaintiff was smoking,
22:41quote,
22:41The Good Antigua Ganja,
22:44and things quickly got out of hand.
22:46And she was like,
22:48Why?
22:49Why?
22:50His description of her increasingly erratic behavior
22:53is endlessly memeable,
22:55but his imitation of her dancing and screeching
22:58while under the influence
22:59is an unforgettable courtroom moment.
23:02It was behavior like that.
23:03I was like,
23:03Melissa, what's going on?
23:04Number nine,
23:05doused with boiling water.
23:07What starts as an incredibly upsetting
23:09and violent case
23:10about a roommate squabble
23:11that led to the plaintiff being attacked
23:13with boiling water
23:14turned incredibly sad by the end.
23:17So it's her apartment.
23:18The two of you were living together
23:19and you moved in as a roommate.
23:21Judge Judy quickly sussed out
23:23that the litigants were high during the event.
23:25So is it accurate
23:26that the three of you
23:28were doing drugs that night?
23:30No, Your Honor, it's not.
23:33Is there any reason why you think
23:34this officer would write this?
23:37Yeah, the officer is a Fugazi officer.
23:40Despite the plaintiff's bizarre assertion
23:42that the police officer
23:43who responded to the scene was Fugazi,
23:46the judge soon realizes
23:47she is in desperate need of care
23:49for substance use disorder.
23:51Instead of adding insult to injury,
23:53the judge actually takes great care
23:56to explain why the police
23:57didn't act on her initial report.
23:59The reason that they didn't take you seriously
24:03is because you were so high on drugs
24:05that you were in an altered state.
24:08Do you understand?
24:09She was simply too deeply under the influence
24:11to advocate for herself.
24:14Number eight, push.
24:16Look, we get it.
24:17It's embarrassing to be kicked out of the courtroom,
24:19especially if you're not the first,
24:21but the second person in your group to go.
24:23Okay, sir, you can step out.
24:25Because that shows that you just can't listen,
24:27and Judy has no time for the likes of you.
24:31The defendant, not willing to let well enough alone,
24:34had the audacity to talk back to Judy on his way out,
24:37then turned to storm through the doors
24:39that wouldn't open for him.
24:41Forget embarrassed,
24:43this is outright humiliation at this point.
24:45As he shrugs his shoulders to ask,
24:48how do I get out?
24:49You can hear him being told to push, not pull.
24:52Well, I have to tell you something.
24:54I have to tell you something.
24:55You push out.
24:59Take your chance to be a judge.
25:01Number seven, four mature audiences.
25:05We're not judging anyone for their chosen profession,
25:07and neither is Judy for that matter.
25:10You just might have to explain it to her.
25:13We go into homes and hold parties for adults
25:16with lotions and potions and vibrators.
25:19Such was the case when the plaintiff had to explain
25:21her adult novelty party business to Judy,
25:24who was able to connect the dots
25:26when she told about the lotions
25:27and, more specifically, vibrators.
25:30The Bull Whip,
25:31one of a set of two C-rings,
25:3310 catalogs,
25:35Making Love Oil flavors strawberry and champagne.
25:38This leads to the plaintiff listing off the names
25:40of every item that went missing,
25:42both Judy and her bailiff, Bernard,
25:44expressing various levels of,
25:46huh,
25:47as if trying to figure out what everything is.
25:50Then the sex bee bomb is dropped.
25:52One of the items was returned used.
25:55Poor, poor Judy.
25:57The eager beaver,
25:58which appeared to be used,
26:00so that may have been used,
26:02but we would have appreciated that
26:03to have been cleaned up
26:04before she returned it to us.
26:05And then the tickle and taste was broke.
26:08Number six,
26:09the fake case.
26:11There's always debate on whether or not
26:13the cases we see
26:14in any televised courtroom drama are real.
26:17As he was breaking one of the televisions,
26:18it fell on your cat and killed it.
26:21Yes.
26:22Hmm?
26:22Yes.
26:23While the jury will always and forever
26:24be out on that one,
26:26we can say with utmost certainty
26:28that this particular case
26:30is an absolute work of fiction.
26:32In an interview with Vice in 2014,
26:35it's revealed that the case
26:36about smashed TVs
26:37and the tragic death of a cat
26:39was made up purely for the settlement money
26:41and a free trip to LA.
26:43I thought you were there with six people.
26:45No, they went to go rent a movie
26:47from the Red Box.
26:48There was no fight
26:49and thankfully, no dead cat.
26:52While it'll definitely make us question
26:54the validity of a case,
26:55the defendant did at least confirm
26:58that Judy really is that intimidating
27:00in real life.
27:01Number five, dumb and dumber.
27:04If you're going to say
27:05you didn't steal a purse,
27:07you might not want to tell a judge
27:08what was and what wasn't in the purse
27:10you definitely did not steal.
27:12What was in your wallet?
27:13It was 50 bucks.
27:14As the plaintiff lists
27:15the items in the purse in question,
27:17one of the accused defendants
27:19insists there was no earpiece.
27:21If only every case
27:23were this easy to prove.
27:24There was no earpiece in the mail.
27:26I love it.
27:28I love it.
27:29Before they can even realize
27:30what's happened,
27:31Judge Judy has ruled against them
27:33and the two have become
27:35a laughing stock
27:36in front of millions.
27:38We don't know if this was
27:39the shortest case
27:40ever featured on the show,
27:41but it has to be in the running.
27:45Judging for the plaintiff
27:47for the amount of $500.
27:48That's what I think it's worth,
27:49madam.
27:50Goodbye.
27:51Number four, Tupperware attack.
27:53Judge Judy always looks
27:55like she's seen some things.
27:57That being said,
27:58there are times
27:59when a plaintiff
28:00says something so unbelievable
28:02that she,
28:03as they say,
28:04can't even.
28:05She opened her Tupperware cupboard
28:07and forced all of her Tupperware
28:10on me like that.
28:11When a plaintiff tells her
28:12that the defendant
28:13threw not just one or two,
28:15but all of the Tupperware on her,
28:18not at her,
28:19Judy calmly says
28:20she didn't throw
28:21all of her Tupperware on you.
28:23She's leaning her whole body into me,
28:25pointing her finger in my face.
28:26How dare you?
28:26Don't you even dare.
28:27Shame on you.
28:28That's it.
28:29I want you out of here.
28:29And she hit my head
28:30with her finger.
28:32She had all of her weight
28:34on me.
28:35Oh, ye of little faith,
28:36because the plaintiff
28:37not only insists
28:38that it happened,
28:39she gives a live demonstration
28:41complete with aggressive
28:43voice acting,
28:44a lot of finger pointing,
28:45and scrunched up faces.
28:47At least the Tupperware
28:48wasn't full of food,
28:50or those lotions
28:51from earlier on this list.
28:53Number three,
28:55Loserds.
28:56If you haven't figured it out
28:57by now,
28:58some of the guests
28:59on Judge Judy
28:59aren't exactly what you'd call
29:01the sharpest tools
29:02in the shed.
29:03Case in point,
29:04when our next defendant
29:05came to plead her case
29:06over an assault charge,
29:08Judge Judy quickly demands
29:09to know why they were
29:10swearing at the plaintiff.
29:12What were you cursing
29:13at them for?
29:14Because they're loserds.
29:16Oh my God.
29:17Her answer,
29:18while not only provoking
29:20a court-wide groan
29:21for butchering the word
29:23losers,
29:24actually demonstrates
29:25that she initiated
29:26the conflict
29:27with the defendants,
29:28securing Judge Judy's decision
29:30almost immediately.
29:32Judgment for the plaintiff
29:33in the amount of $4,000.
29:34That's all.
29:35Step out.
29:35All you got to see
29:36is you may step out.
29:37Next time you want
29:38to accuse someone of assault,
29:40maybe make sure
29:41you're not actually
29:42the one who initiated it.
29:43I don't think
29:44this is a fair justice.
29:46Number two,
29:47venison will get you nowhere.
29:49When will people learn
29:50that you have to get permission
29:51before you take something
29:52from someone else?
29:54Even if you supposedly
29:55take it all the time.
29:57I just use it all the time
29:58and she wasn't home
29:59so I went over there
29:59to get the key and went
30:01and the deer just
30:01jumped out in front of me.
30:03In yet another case of
30:04I'm always able
30:05to borrow the thing,
30:06two sisters find themselves
30:07in court over damage
30:09done to a car.
30:10What'd you do with it?
30:11Ate it?
30:14Is that true?
30:14Yes ma'am
30:16and she even offered me some.
30:17The defendant got into a wreck
30:19with her sister's car
30:20crashing into a deer.
30:22But since she takes the car
30:23all the time
30:24and has helped her sister sometimes,
30:26she thinks she should be
30:27in the clear.
30:28I'm not having a
30:30rigamortis stube.
30:31It did not have rigamortis.
30:33At least she was nice enough
30:34to offer some of the deer.
30:36Yes, the deer she hit
30:38with her sister's car.
30:39Yeah, you're still gonna have
30:40to pay back that $1,300.

30:59Number 1.
31:00Suing a grieving mother.
31:02In what is absolutely
31:04the craziest
31:05and possibly the most
31:06morally unconscionable case
31:08in the history of the show,
31:09a woman sues a grieving mother
31:11for damages to her car.
31:13The car was damaged
31:14when her son,
31:15whom she allowed
31:16to drive her car,
31:18gave the defendant's daughter
31:19the keys to drive it.
31:20Only on the property.
31:21I don't care if he drives
31:22it on the property,
31:23if he drives it on Pluto!
31:24Defendant Nelda Bailey's daughter
31:26was killed in an accident
31:28And now,
31:29plaintiff Wendy Moore
31:30is suing.
31:31Do you honestly believe
31:32that you have a case?
31:33Do you honestly believe
31:34that any fact finder,
31:36whether it be a judge
31:37or a jury,
31:38is going to find
31:40your position
31:41sympathetic,
31:42Ms. Moore?
31:42Moore is so cool about it
31:44that it's actually disturbing.
31:46She's convinced
31:47she's in the right.
31:48In fact,
31:49she blames the defendant's
31:50deceased daughter
31:51for the whole thing.
31:52Instead of saying that,
31:53you sue her
31:54for the damage to your car.
31:55You're an idiot.
31:56The audience applauded
31:57when Judge Judy
31:58verbally destroyed her
31:59and ruled in favor
32:01of the defendant,
32:02granting her
32:03the $5,000
32:04she was suing for.
32:06Which Judge Judy cases
32:07do you keep coming back to?
32:09Sound off in the comments.
