00:01What happens when a retail manager falls for her younger co-worker and starts treating her bank account like his
00:08personal ATM?
00:10This is the story of a work romance gone wrong where $4,800 went up in smoke and Judge Judy
00:18is absolutely not having it.
00:20The drama features Ms. Williams, a single mom and retail manager who thought she found love at work, and Richard,
00:28a 28-year-old sales associate who is married with three kids but somehow forgot to mention that to his
00:35boss.
00:35The tension begins when Richard tries to claim they were just friends who talked at the office.
00:41However, Judge Judy quickly pulls out his own signed statement where he admits they were seeing each other and that
00:49he was pursued relentlessly.
00:51Caught in a trap of his own making, Richard stutters as the judge reads back his own confession.
00:57It turns out he told Ms. Williams he was living with his sister and separated from his wife just to
01:04get his hands on some quick cash for a car.
01:07The most shocking part of the case is that even after Ms. Williams found out he was a lying cheat,
01:14she still handed over another $1,500.
01:17She claimed it was a loan for a car down payment and bills, convinced he would pay her back once
01:23he got his tax refund.
01:25But Judge Judy delivers a brutal reality check, pointing out that a man making only $9 an hour with three
01:33children to support was never going to have $5,000 to spare.
01:37In the end, Judge Judy loses all sympathy for the plaintiff.
01:42She scolds Ms. Williams for giving away her own son's college fund to a man who was clearly using her.
01:49Because there was no formal contract and the money was clearly given to keep a failing romance alive, the judge
01:56dismisses the case entirely.
01:58It is a harsh lesson that if you are giving a hand up to a co-worker who is lying
02:03about his marriage, you should consider that money gone forever.
02:07Scharing is also at the oncologist or whatever.
