[00:00:00]LOANS WERE ACTUALLY GIFTS.

[00:00:00]>> Judge Judy: OKAY.

[00:00:00]SO FAR, MS. WILLIAMS, I'M NOT HEARING A THING ABOUT A LOAN.

[00:00:03]>> WELL -- >> Judge Judy: I'M NOT HEARING A CONTRACT.

[00:00:05]>> WELL, HE ASKED ME IF HE COULD -- ALL THE TIMES THAT I'VE GIVEN HIM THOSE LARGE AMOUNTS, HE'S ASKED ME IF I COULD LEND HIM THE MONEY.

[00:00:13]>> Judge Judy: DON'T BUY IT.

[00:00:14]>> YOU KNOW... >> Judge Judy: YEAH, I KNOW.

[00:00:16]I DO KNOW.

[00:00:16]>> [ CHUCKLES ] >> Judge Judy: SADLY, I DO KNOW.

[00:00:19]AND AT WHAT POINT DID YOU FIND OUT THAT YOUR MONEY WAS DOWN THE DRAIN AND HE WAS LIVING WITH HIS WIFE?

[00:00:23]>> WELL, I FOUND OUT THAT BEFORE THE $1,500.

[00:00:26]>> Judge Judy: YOU DID?

[00:00:27]>> RIGHT.

[00:00:29][ LAUGHTER ] >> Judge Judy: LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS, MS. WILLIAMS.

[00:00:33]SO FIRST, YOU FIND OUT THAT THE GUY HAS LIED TO YOU, AND YOU'VE GIVEN HIM MONEY.

[00:00:38]HE'S LIED TO YOU ABOUT LIVING WITH HIS SISTER.

[00:00:40]HE'S LIED TO YOU ABOUT BEING SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE.

[00:00:43]DURING THAT TIME, YOU'VE GIVEN HIM HOW MUCH MONEY TO FIX HIS CAR OR A DOWN PAYMENT?

[00:00:47]>> THE DOWN PAYMENT? $2,000.

[00:00:49]>> Judge Judy: $2,000.

[00:00:50]SO, YOU'VE GIVEN HIM $2,000.

[00:00:51]THEN YOU FIND OUT THAT HE'S A LYING CHEAT AND YOU GIVE HIM ANOTHER $1,500?

[00:00:55]>> YES, YOUR HONOR.

[00:00:56]>> Judge Judy: WELL, HMM, KEEP GOING.

[00:00:58]KEEP GOING.

[00:00:59]YOU WANT TO KEEP GOING?

[00:01:01]I'M HERE.

[00:01:01]I HAVE ANOTHER TWO MINUTES BEFORE I HAVE LUNCH.

[00:01:04]>> WE ENDED UP STAYING FRIENDS BECAUSE HE WAS MARRIED AND, UM, OBVIOUSLY I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD.

[00:01:12]ANYWAYS, HE CAME TO ME AND HE ASKED ME IF I COULD HELP HIM OUT AND LOAN HIM ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, THE $1,500.

[00:01:17]AND I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

[00:01:19]YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PAID ME BACK FOR THE DOWN PAYMENT."

[00:01:21]AND YOU KNOW, I AM, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, I'M A SINGLE MOM.

[00:01:25]>> Judge Judy: LISTEN, YOU KEEP SAYING, "I'M A SINGLE MOM.

[00:01:27]I'M A SINGLE MOM, AND I HAVE AN 11-YEAR-OLD SON."

[00:01:29]>> YES.

[00:01:29]>> Judge Judy: AND SO FAR, YOU'VE GIVEN THIS BUM $3,500... >> RIGHT.

[00:01:32]>> Judge Judy:...OF YOUR SON'S MONEY, OF YOUR SON'S COLLEGE MONEY.

[00:01:34]KEEP GOING.

[00:01:35]I'M NOT SYMPATHETIC WITH YOU.

[00:01:37]>> I DON'T EXPECT ANYBODY TO BE.

[00:01:38]>> Judge Judy: I MEAN, I THINK HE'S A LOSER, BUT I'M NOT SYMPATHETIC WITH YOU.

[00:01:41]>> AND SO I GAVE HIM THE MONEY, AND HE SAID, "I PROMISE I'LL PAY YOU BACK WHEN I GET MY TAXES."

[00:01:44]>> Judge Judy: HE WORKS ONE DAY A WEEK.

[00:01:46]>> OH, WELL, I'M SORRY.

[00:01:47]I LEFT THAT PART OUT.

[00:01:48]I ENDED UP GETTING HIM IN CONTACT WITH ONE OF MY ASSOCIATE MANAGERS AT THE JOB HE'S CURRENTLY AT.

[00:01:54]>> Judge Judy: GREAT.

[00:01:55]HOW MUCH DO YOU EARN AT THAT JOB?

[00:01:56]>> UH, STILL NINE BUCKS, MA'AM.

[00:01:58]>> Judge Judy: $9 AN HOUR?

[00:01:59]>> YEAH.

[00:02:00]>> HE MAKES ABOUT $550 A WEEK.

[00:02:03]>> Judge Judy: GROSS.

[00:02:03]>> NOW.

[00:02:04]>> Judge Judy: GROSS.

[00:02:04]>> RIGHT.

[00:02:05]>> Judge Judy: AND HE TAKES CARE OF THREE CHILDREN.

[00:02:07]>> RIGHT.

[00:02:07]>> Judge Judy: YEAH.

[00:02:08]>> COMPARED TO WHAT HE WAS -- >> Judge Judy: ANYTHING ELSE?

[00:02:10]>> UM, AND THEN JANUARY 10th, HE CALLED ME AT 2:29 A.M.

[00:02:17]THERE WAS AN INCIDENT BETWEEN HIM AND HIS WIFE, AND HE NEEDED HELP AGAIN.

[00:02:23]SO, I WENT AND I HELPED HIM, AND HE SAID, "I'LL PAY YOU BACK.

[00:02:26]I PROMISE."

[00:02:27]AND I -- >> Judge Judy: "LIKE I PAID YOU BACK THE $2,000 AND THE $1,500."

[00:02:30]>> AND I TOLD HIM THAT, YOUR HONOR.

[00:02:32]I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

[00:02:33]ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO GET ME THIS MONEY BACK, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW..." AND HE JUST SAID -- HE SAID, "I WILL.

[00:02:38]TAXES ARE COMING.

[00:02:39]IT'S, YOU KNOW, JANUARY.

[00:02:41]FEBRUARY, I'LL GET THE MONEY AND I WILL PAY YOU BACK EVERYTHING I'VE EVER BORROWED FROM YOU."

[00:02:45]>> Judge Judy: YES, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

[00:02:46]GOODBYE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:02:47]YOUR CASE IS DISMISSED.

[00:02:48]>> Byrd: PARTIES ARE EXCUSED.

[00:02:49]YOU MAY STEP OUT.

[00:02:50]>> IT WAS NEVER ABOUT GETTING PAYMENT.

[00:02:52]>> I THINK SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO BUY INTO ME.

[00:02:54]>> IT WAS JUST BEING A MAN OF YOUR WORD.

[00:02:55]>> I'M NOT FOR SALE.

[00:02:56]>> I GAVE HIM A HAND UP, NOT A HAND OUT.

[00:02:58]>> THAT HAND UP THAT SHE SAID WAS "HERE YOU GO, YOU CAN HAVE..." >> I WILL ALWAYS BE A FRIEND.

[00:03:03]>> GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER YOU GOT IN YOUR ENDEAVORS, BUT I'M FINE WHERE I'M AT.
