1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,734
{\an8}She keyed your car?
2
00:00:02,867 --> 00:00:04,500
And she was threatening
to beat me up.
3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,767
Her family came up there,
and they all had guns.
4
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:07,834
That's a lie.
5
00:00:07,834 --> 00:00:10,500
We've had a ongoing beef for years.
6
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,233
And it's all over the prize.
7
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:16,967
[Announcer]
This is Judy Justice.
8
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,467
{\an8}Keanna Hill is suing her former coworker,
9
00:00:37,467 --> 00:00:40,400
{\an8}Diamond Horton, for vandalizing her car
10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,533
and harassment while working together.
11
00:00:43,033 --> 00:00:45,033
[Kevin] Court come to order.
All rise.
12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,667
[Judge Judy] Have a seat, please.
13
00:00:48,667 --> 00:00:50,900
{\an8}Case 2141,
Hill versus Horton.
14
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,233
{\an8}- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
15
00:00:52,233 --> 00:00:54,133
- [Judge Judy] Ms. Hill?
- Yes, ma'am.
16
00:00:54,133 --> 00:00:55,467
What's this man's name?
17
00:00:55,467 --> 00:00:56,867
[Hill]
Clydus Brown.
18
00:00:56,867 --> 00:00:58,934
[Judge Judy]
You have a child with him?
19
00:00:58,934 --> 00:01:01,066
{\an8}- Yes, ma'am.
- Who's 10 years old?
20
00:01:01,066 --> 00:01:02,734
{\an8}- Yes.
- Is that your only child?
21
00:01:02,734 --> 00:01:04,467
{\an8}- No, ma'am.
- How many children do you have?
22
00:01:04,467 --> 00:01:06,834
{\an8}- I have four children.
- Is he the oldest?
23
00:01:06,834 --> 00:01:09,166
- She is the oldest.
- She. She's the oldest?
24
00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:11,033
- Yes.
- Does she see her father?
25
00:01:11,033 --> 00:01:12,900
- No.
- Hasn't seen him in how long?
26
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:14,033
Months to a year.
27
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:16,567
The defendant has two children with him?
28
00:01:16,567 --> 00:01:18,533
- Yes, ma'am.
- How old are they?
29
00:01:18,533 --> 00:01:21,834
{\an8}Well, he'll be two on the ninth,
and then I have a 10-month-old.
30
00:01:21,834 --> 00:01:24,400
{\an8}And then, according to what I've read here
31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,600
in either the complaint or the answer,
he has at least one other child.
32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,567
- [Hill] Yes, ma'am.
- Which is how old?
33
00:01:30,567 --> 00:01:32,300
- Probably about seven.
- Seven.
34
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:33,767
Does he see that child?
35
00:01:33,767 --> 00:01:35,867
Every blue moon when she brings him.
36
00:01:35,867 --> 00:01:37,700
- So once in a while?
- Yeah.
37
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:39,800
So he has four children altogether?
38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,934
- Yes, ma'am.
- And you currently live with him?
39
00:01:41,934 --> 00:01:43,433
- Yes.
- What does he do for a living?
40
00:01:43,433 --> 00:01:45,266
Well, he works at a warehouse.
41
00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:47,600
- And you?
- Well, I'm a certified nurse assistant.
42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,834
- Who takes care of the kids?
- Me and Clydus.
43
00:01:50,834 --> 00:01:52,100
You work different shifts?
44
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,233
Yes, he works overnight,
I work day shift.
45
00:01:54,233 --> 00:01:56,433
- So you're currently working?
- Yes, ma'am.
46
00:01:56,433 --> 00:01:58,000
But there came a time...
47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,166
I'm just trying to figure out
48
00:02:00,166 --> 00:02:03,767
{\an8}why everybody's sort of mad
and fighting over him.
49
00:02:03,767 --> 00:02:04,934
{\an8}I don't understand it.
50
00:02:04,934 --> 00:02:09,000
{\an8}It must be something that you ladies
see that is hidden from me,
51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,967
because it is your claim, Ms. Hill,
52
00:02:10,967 --> 00:02:14,066
that Ms. Horton
not only vandalized your car,
53
00:02:14,066 --> 00:02:17,633
{\an8}but that she caused you
to be fired from your job.
54
00:02:17,633 --> 00:02:21,533
{\an8}She says that you filed a false
restraining order against her,
55
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:24,400
and that actually you
caused her to lose her job,
56
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,100
and it's all over the prize...
57
00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:32,467
which I can never really understand.
58
00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:34,934
How long have you been working
in your current job?
59
00:02:34,934 --> 00:02:36,133
About three months now.
60
00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:38,433
- So you got another job?
- Yes, ma'am.
61
00:02:38,433 --> 00:02:40,000
- Do you like it?
- Yes.
62
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,900
Making about the same money or more?
63
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:43,266
A little less. [chuckles]
64
00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:45,533
- And where are you working?
- I'm a machine operator.
65
00:02:45,533 --> 00:02:47,500
- So you got another job?
- Yes.
66
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,767
Because all this started
when all of a sudden
67
00:02:49,767 --> 00:02:51,934
you found yourselves
working in the same place?
68
00:02:51,934 --> 00:02:53,400
- Yes.
- And in what month was that?
69
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,967
That was, um-- I started the job
May 31st,
70
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:59,133
but it spilled over into June,
is when everything took place.
71
00:02:59,133 --> 00:03:02,367
And how long were you working
at the same place?
72
00:03:02,367 --> 00:03:04,700
Three months.
I started March 4th, 2022.
73
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:07,133
Okay. So it was a short-term
employment for both of you.
74
00:03:07,133 --> 00:03:09,467
- And you were there first?
- Yes, ma'am.
75
00:03:09,467 --> 00:03:12,233
- And you came shortly thereafter?
- Yes.
76
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:15,200
Shortly after she started to work.
Had you ever met each other?
77
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,300
{\an8}No.
78
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,867
{\an8}Well, explain to me what the problem was.
79
00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:24,967
So there's a history that started back
in 2019 via text messages and Facebook,
80
00:03:24,967 --> 00:03:27,800
so we've had an ongoing beef for years.
81
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,133
Who cares?
Now you're gonna both get smarter.
82
00:03:30,133 --> 00:03:32,200
You're gonna come here today
and you're gonna both get smarter.
83
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,100
And if he has two children
that he doesn't see,
84
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:38,066
her daughter and your 7-year-old,
85
00:03:38,066 --> 00:03:41,066
according to what I hear,
that you see once every blue moon,
86
00:03:41,066 --> 00:03:43,166
that's a basket that I wouldn't be in.
87
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,467
So you have a history of bad texting
back and forth and stuff.
88
00:03:48,467 --> 00:03:49,900
I don't care about that.
89
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:55,834
Let's get to the two allegations of,
one, that she vandalized your tires.
90
00:03:55,834 --> 00:03:59,133
When and what proof do you have
that she vandalized your tires?
91
00:03:59,133 --> 00:04:02,867
This is after you both found yourself
in the same working environment.
92
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:05,500
{\an8}It wasn't my tires.
She actually keyed my vehicle.
93
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:06,567
{\an8}- [Judy] Keyed it?
- Yes.
94
00:04:06,567 --> 00:04:07,633
{\an8}[Judy]
On what date?
95
00:04:07,633 --> 00:04:11,967
On June 18th.
I have my police report from this.
96
00:04:12,333 --> 00:04:15,934
Okay, I'll look at the police report.
Did you see her key your car?
97
00:04:15,934 --> 00:04:18,934
I did not see her, but I requested
video footage from the job,
98
00:04:18,934 --> 00:04:21,433
and they stated that they would give me
the video footage.
99
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:22,500
Do we have it?
100
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,700
We don't have it, but the city attorney
was unable to receive it as well.
101
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:27,500
But I have a letter
from the city attorney.
102
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,934
You don't have it here for me,
and you didn't see her key your car.
103
00:04:30,934 --> 00:04:32,767
- Yes.
- What we're here for is a trial,
104
00:04:32,767 --> 00:04:36,200
so I need what proof you have
that she keyed your car.
105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,700
I assume your car was at work.
106
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,500
- Yes.
- When it was keyed? Okay?
107
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:42,834
And I'm assuming
that you don't like each other.
108
00:04:42,834 --> 00:04:47,800
That things got nasty, heated
on social media back and forth.
109
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,367
I'm assuming all that is true.
110
00:04:49,367 --> 00:04:53,233
All I need for you to show me is proof
that she keyed your car.
111
00:04:53,233 --> 00:04:58,600
Well, I have audio recording from HR
where they're stating that everything
112
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,500
was initiated by the defendant.
113
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,967
And Arkansas's a one-party state,
so I can play the audio for you.
114
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:06,300
[Judy]
Oh, was she on the audio?
115
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,400
They're talking about the video
116
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,600
in the recording and that they
were supposed to give it to me.
117
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,667
Can't help you.
118
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,233
Okay, this the next part of your case
is that you caused you to lose your job.
119
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:19,066
- Yes.
- Go.
120
00:05:19,066 --> 00:05:21,767
{\an8}So I have my termination letter
stating that the defendant...
121
00:05:21,767 --> 00:05:23,667
{\an8}I'd like to see your
termination letter.
122
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:27,300
It's a joke.
123
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:38,367
This is the description of the termination
letter and description of the violation.
124
00:05:38,367 --> 00:05:41,900
"Keanna has been involved
in altercations with another employee.
125
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,800
While the other employee
instigated the situations,
126
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,934
it has gotten to a point where
multiple other staff are now involved."
127
00:05:49,934 --> 00:05:51,166
I don't know what that means.
128
00:05:51,166 --> 00:05:53,433
"At this point
it is affecting patient care
129
00:05:53,433 --> 00:05:55,633
and causing a hostile work environment.
130
00:05:55,633 --> 00:05:57,533
Termination effective immediately."
131
00:05:57,533 --> 00:06:01,567
I assume that you have a similar letter,
'cause you were terminated.
132
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:03,233
- May I see it?
- Yes.
133
00:06:08,533 --> 00:06:11,367
- I also have a final warning.
- Just a, just a second.
134
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:18,967
Okay. "On Wednesday,
June 15th, 2022, Diamond..."
135
00:06:18,967 --> 00:06:20,367
- That's you?
- Yes, ma'am.
136
00:06:20,367 --> 00:06:25,667
Was given a final written notice
concerning harassment of other employees.
137
00:06:25,667 --> 00:06:29,467
It has since been reported
that the harassment has continued.
138
00:06:29,934 --> 00:06:33,100
Also multiple other staff have been pulled
into this situation
139
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,266
to the point that it's affecting
patient care,
140
00:06:35,266 --> 00:06:37,533
and it's a termination letter.
141
00:06:37,533 --> 00:06:42,834
Okay, so I'm assuming since you got this,
you were notified previously
142
00:06:42,834 --> 00:06:45,533
about having any communication
with each other.
143
00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:47,033
- [Diamond] No, ma'am.
- You were not?
144
00:06:47,033 --> 00:06:51,033
{\an8}I was out for COVID. I had just got back
to work June 15th, 2022,
145
00:06:51,033 --> 00:06:53,834
and I found out that Hill
was working there.
146
00:06:53,834 --> 00:06:56,166
I never knew she was working there at all.
147
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:58,600
- And so I got called to the office...
- That's not true your honor.
148
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:03,400
{\an8}What was the beef about?
I don't understand.
149
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,033
{\an8}The other baby mama.
It's the reason why we're into it.
150
00:07:06,033 --> 00:07:08,200
{\an8}- The 7-year-old's mother?
- Yes.
151
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,033
{\an8}- The 7-year-old's mother?
- Yes.
152
00:07:10,767 --> 00:07:11,767
{\an8}[Diamond]
Yes.
153
00:07:11,767 --> 00:07:12,900
{\an8}[Announcer]
And later today.
154
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:16,700
How much money in total
did you pay Ms. Goodwin
155
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,033
{\an8}for her work in planning your wedding?
156
00:07:19,033 --> 00:07:20,967
{\an8}I paid her 50 bucks.
157
00:07:20,967 --> 00:07:23,233
{\an8}Well, don't you think that's ridiculous?
158
00:07:34,233 --> 00:07:38,433
{\an8}[Announcer] Keanna Hill claims
her former coworker Diamond Horton
159
00:07:38,433 --> 00:07:41,834
{\an8}harassed her at work
and caused her to be fired.
160
00:07:41,834 --> 00:07:45,900
Diamond is countersuing
for filing a false restraining order.
161
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,767
My question was a relatively simple one,
because I'm gonna make this as simple
162
00:07:49,767 --> 00:07:52,633
as possible before I
probably dismiss both of them.
163
00:07:52,633 --> 00:07:56,834
I would like to see after June 15th, 2022,
164
00:07:56,834 --> 00:08:02,233
up until the date of the termination,
which is June 23rd, 2022,
165
00:08:02,233 --> 00:08:04,467
how the harassment continued.
166
00:08:04,467 --> 00:08:07,100
I would like you to show me
from June 15th.
167
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:08,767
The actual date was June 14th.
168
00:08:08,767 --> 00:08:10,367
Well, this says June 15th.
169
00:08:10,367 --> 00:08:12,900
- I wasn't working.
- Ssh.
170
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:13,967
This violation...
171
00:08:13,967 --> 00:08:16,433
She had complained to my friends as well.
We have the date, time stamps.
172
00:08:16,433 --> 00:08:20,333
I just want you to show me
after June 15th,
173
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:23,734
between June 15th and June 23rd...
174
00:08:23,734 --> 00:08:24,800
[Hill]
Yes, ma'am.
175
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,367
...what further acts that you allege
are acts of harassment occurred?
176
00:08:29,367 --> 00:08:31,867
- I have the schedule showing the date...
- Ssh.
177
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,066
Well, I don't know what this is.
178
00:08:42,066 --> 00:08:44,100
A fake Facebook page that she made.
179
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:47,367
How do you know this is a fake Facebook
page that she made?
180
00:08:47,367 --> 00:08:50,433
That was a requested message
that was sent to me after her and myself
181
00:08:50,433 --> 00:08:53,367
had a conversation,
and she was threatening to beat me up.
182
00:08:54,266 --> 00:08:57,500
{\an8}And it says, "Since you didn't apologize,
D is going to beat you up."
183
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,934
{\an8}- Okay.
- The D they're referring to is Diamond.
184
00:09:00,066 --> 00:09:02,066
{\an8}Oh my God!
185
00:09:02,066 --> 00:09:03,467
What is this?
186
00:09:03,467 --> 00:09:05,800
The 870 number
is her calling my phone.
187
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,066
Okay, and 870?
188
00:09:08,066 --> 00:09:10,567
- The missed calls.
- This was on what date?
189
00:09:10,567 --> 00:09:12,000
That was on June 19th.
190
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,700
What were you calling her for
at six o'clock in the evening?
191
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:18,166
{\an8}Well, the day she accused me
of vandalizing her car is, uh,
192
00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:21,166
{\an8}the day that we had worked together.
193
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:24,433
She called the police, and her family
came up there, and they all had guns.
194
00:09:24,433 --> 00:09:27,500
That's the reason she got terminated
'cause she brought a gun on the premises.
195
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,800
- And they came up there to jump me.
- That's a lie.
196
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,533
- And when I went outside...
- I just wanna ask you why you called her.
197
00:09:32,533 --> 00:09:35,667
I called her to ask her
because June 16th is when I sat down,
198
00:09:35,667 --> 00:09:39,333
I had a conversation together
to drop all beef, like no issue.
199
00:09:39,967 --> 00:09:43,166
I don't want you...
You can't control yourself.
200
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:45,400
Understand you're sending me
a bad message
201
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,133
if you can't control yourself here,
which is a very controlled setting,
202
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:51,600
I'm gonna say to myself, this is somebody
203
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,300
who can't control themselves
outside of the setting.
204
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:56,200
- Do you understand?
- Yes, ma'am.
205
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,734
So I called her to ask her why did
she feel like I vandalized her vehicle
206
00:09:59,734 --> 00:10:02,967
because before that we sat down
and we had a conversation together
207
00:10:02,967 --> 00:10:04,500
at work saying it should be dead.
208
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,734
Like, why we should not have any beef,
any over him at all.
209
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:12,633
And that the kids were involved.
And so we agreed to let it go.
210
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,700
So then she accused me
of vandalizing her vehicle.
211
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:18,734
What was the beef about?
I don't understand.
212
00:10:18,734 --> 00:10:21,467
The other baby mama
is the reason why we are into it.
213
00:10:21,467 --> 00:10:24,000
- The 7-year-old's mother?
- Yes.
214
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,033
- The 7-year-old's mother?
- Yes.
215
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:29,767
Yes. Yes.
216
00:10:32,734 --> 00:10:35,900
So we have no proof of vandalizing
and this is nonsense.
217
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,533
You wanna tell me about the restraining
order that you filed?
218
00:10:39,533 --> 00:10:43,700
{\an8}There was a order of protection placed
after she was harassing me at work.
219
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:44,900
{\an8}May I see it?
220
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:47,700
{\an8}Yes.
But it was also rescinded.
221
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,667
By the way, does he pay child support
for your daughter?
222
00:10:51,667 --> 00:10:53,333
- Yes, ma'am.
- He does? How much?
223
00:10:53,834 --> 00:10:58,333
He pays probably about 239
every two weeks,
224
00:10:58,333 --> 00:10:59,900
- somewhere around there.
- Does he pay it to you?
225
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,300
Yes.
Well, it's through child support.
226
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:03,700
- But he pays it to you?
- Yes.
227
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:05,500
- And he's current?
- Yes.
228
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:08,667
Well, there's back pay
but he's currently paying.
229
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:11,934
Okay, so was there a hearing
on this order of protection?
230
00:11:11,934 --> 00:11:14,000
- It was not.
- No, ma'am, there was not a hearing.
231
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Just a second, did you appear?
232
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,500
No, I rescinded.
233
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:18,567
I understand that.
234
00:11:18,567 --> 00:11:22,300
I just wanna know, the court
found that the petition was dismissed.
235
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:23,700
It was a false accusation.
236
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:24,900
Mm-hmm.
237
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,467
Okay, so the reason that the order states
it was dismissed is that the petitioner
238
00:11:31,467 --> 00:11:36,400
doesn't meet the definition of family
or household member as defined
239
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,834
in whatever statute is and therefore
does not allege the existence
240
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,400
of domestic abuse.
241
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,100
{\an8}Doesn't address
the gravamen of the petition.
242
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:48,834
{\an8}It's a more procedural dismissal
243
00:11:48,834 --> 00:11:51,567
because she's not related
to you in any way.
244
00:11:51,567 --> 00:11:54,834
I mean, having children with a person
in common doesn't make you,
245
00:11:54,834 --> 00:11:57,600
at least in this jurisdiction,
part of the household.
246
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,934
Okay, you both look like nice ladies.
247
00:12:00,066 --> 00:12:04,100
You know he has kids with two
other people. Not a great track record.
248
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,734
Not that he don't see them
because they don't let him.
249
00:12:06,734 --> 00:12:08,867
They don't want their kids around me.
250
00:12:08,867 --> 00:12:13,133
There's a reason, you know,
maybe not a great track record.
251
00:12:13,533 --> 00:12:16,900
It's not good for your children.
It's really not good for your children.
252
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:21,033
I mean your children, believe it or not,
your children are related to each other.
253
00:12:21,033 --> 00:12:23,633
I mean, you may not have
any interest whatsoever,
254
00:12:23,633 --> 00:12:26,600
but when your children get older,
they may have a curiosity
255
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,567
about who their half-sibling is,
what they look like.
256
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:32,367
Are they alike?
They may have interest.
257
00:12:32,834 --> 00:12:37,867
So I can suggest to you is, your children
didn't ask to be born.
258
00:12:38,367 --> 00:12:41,934
The idea that you exert
any energy whatsoever,
259
00:12:41,934 --> 00:12:45,367
negative energy with regard
to each other is ridiculous.
260
00:12:45,934 --> 00:12:47,200
Really ridiculous.
261
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400
But for him, you wouldn't have any contact
with each other.
262
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,967
Am I, am I reading that right?
263
00:12:51,967 --> 00:12:53,033
- Yes.
- Yes, ma'am.
264
00:12:53,033 --> 00:12:56,967
Yeah. Well, why?
He hasn't been in your life in years.
265
00:12:57,367 --> 00:12:59,367
And I know that he shouldn't have
been in your life,
266
00:12:59,367 --> 00:13:01,967
at least for the last seven years
cause he's got a 7-year-old
267
00:13:01,967 --> 00:13:03,367
with somebody else, right?
268
00:13:03,367 --> 00:13:08,367
And you have a 10-year-old.
Goodbye... except for your daughter.
269
00:13:10,066 --> 00:13:12,567
Can I state that the situation
is not about him.
270
00:13:12,567 --> 00:13:15,233
It's about the harassment,
the lost wages.
271
00:13:15,233 --> 00:13:18,433
That's more of my concern with her.
It has nothing to do with him.
272
00:13:18,433 --> 00:13:22,100
I was working before you. I was
working that job. You came to my job.
273
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:24,967
Just a second.
What I'm telling you is right now,
274
00:13:25,433 --> 00:13:26,767
I don't have to get into it any further.
275
00:13:26,767 --> 00:13:29,633
- Right now, she's got the guy.
- I don't care.
276
00:13:29,633 --> 00:13:32,033
Just a second, though.
Right now, she's got the guy.
277
00:13:32,033 --> 00:13:35,834
So that would perhaps give rise
to some animus on your part
278
00:13:35,834 --> 00:13:37,800
with regard to her position.
279
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,967
He's working and he's paying money
to your child,
280
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,133
which is in her mind taking money away
from her two children
281
00:13:47,133 --> 00:13:49,700
that she has with him.
Well, that's his responsibility.
282
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:52,767
You knew about that child
and you knew about the 7-year-old.
283
00:13:52,767 --> 00:13:53,834
[Hill]
Mm-hmm .
284
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:57,233
So what I'm telling you is there's a lot
of negative energy going on.
285
00:13:57,233 --> 00:13:59,800
You both got jobs
relatively soon after this.
286
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,800
It was probably not a good idea
for you to stay in the same place,
287
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,600
and your employer was absolutely right
and actually quite brave in today's times
288
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,300
to say we're terminating both of you
because your job
289
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:11,700
is affecting patient care.
290
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:15,500
'Cause it's not only the two of you,
other employees have been drawn
291
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:16,900
into this drama.
292
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:18,333
That's cause she brought them in.
293
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:20,166
I don't know whether she brought them
in or not.
294
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:22,500
And I don't care
whether she brought them in.
295
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:24,333
[Announcer]
And later today.
296
00:14:24,333 --> 00:14:27,600
{\an8}She wasn't your best friend.
She wasn't even a close friend.
297
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,233
{\an8}You hadn't spoken to her in years.
298
00:14:30,233 --> 00:14:33,367
So clearly you called her
to do a job for you
299
00:14:33,367 --> 00:14:36,000
{\an8}that was her profession.
300
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,367
{\an8}And in addition to doing that,
she brought you your wedding dress.
301
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,300
{\an8}[Announcer]
Keanna Hill claims her former coworker,
302
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:58,367
{\an8}Diamond Horton, harassed her at work
and caused her to be fired.
303
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:02,834
Diamond is countersuing
for filing a false restraining order.
304
00:15:02,834 --> 00:15:05,266
Now of all the places
that you have to work,
305
00:15:05,633 --> 00:15:07,233
you have to work in a place
where she was working?
306
00:15:07,233 --> 00:15:10,066
- I didn't know she worked there.
- She didn't know that you were there?
307
00:15:10,633 --> 00:15:13,767
She did on the first day that I started
and she told everyone who I was,
308
00:15:13,767 --> 00:15:14,834
and what the situation...
309
00:15:14,834 --> 00:15:16,567
- I was out for COVID.
- Okay, who cares?
310
00:15:16,567 --> 00:15:19,000
Anyway, cases are dismissed.
Goodbye. Good luck.
311
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,266
[Kevin]
This court is adjourned.
312
00:15:24,133 --> 00:15:26,700
{\an8}I feel like the judge,
she made the right decision.
313
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:27,700
{\an8}She didn't listen.
314
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:31,367
{\an8}Because I'm with her baby's father,
which is now my baby's father.
315
00:15:31,367 --> 00:15:33,133
{\an8}He had nothing to do with this situation.
316
00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:34,867
{\an8}I just wanna be there for my kids.
317
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:39,233
You know, to his credit,
he's paying support.
318
00:15:39,233 --> 00:15:41,333
- Sure. Has a job.
- He has a job.
319
00:15:41,333 --> 00:15:44,400
And I don't know why these two women feud,
320
00:15:45,233 --> 00:15:49,166
when according to plaintiff,
she has no interest in him anymore.
321
00:15:49,166 --> 00:15:51,400
- And she's getting support.
- She's getting support.
322
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,633
Just don't understand,
there are so many things
323
00:15:55,166 --> 00:15:57,467
that life has that present obstacles.
324
00:15:58,633 --> 00:16:01,133
Why fight over a guy?
325
00:16:01,133 --> 00:16:03,900
There's many good causes
you could get behind you fight for.
326
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,100
- Let's choose one of those.
- Yeah, right.
327
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:09,533
Case number 2149,
Goodwin versus Philpot.
328
00:16:09,533 --> 00:16:11,233
All parties, please step forward.
329
00:16:11,233 --> 00:16:15,500
{\an8}[Announcer] Manuelita Goodwin
is suing wedding planner Kayla Philpot
330
00:16:16,166 --> 00:16:19,100
{\an8}for repayment of items
purchased for Kayla's wedding.
331
00:16:20,066 --> 00:16:22,133
Miss Philpot, how long
have you known Ms. Goodwin?
332
00:16:22,133 --> 00:16:23,533
Um, since I was a child.
333
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,867
I don't remember
much of her when I was a child,
334
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:28,633
but she remembers me as a baby.
335
00:16:28,633 --> 00:16:31,300
Well, I don't know what she remembers.
You were getting married, when?
336
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,934
- What was the date of the wedding?
- May 6th, 2021.
337
00:16:33,934 --> 00:16:35,934
Where was the wedding supposed to be held?
338
00:16:35,934 --> 00:16:39,300
- It was gonna be held in Turlock.
- Is that a wedding venue?
339
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:40,900
- Yes.
- How many people were coming?
340
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:44,367
{\an8}Um, it ended up being around 25 people.
341
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:46,433
{\an8}- It was kind of small.
- How many people did you invite?
342
00:16:46,433 --> 00:16:48,433
- 60.
- But 25 came?
343
00:16:48,433 --> 00:16:50,433
- Yeah.
- It was during the height of COVID?
344
00:16:50,934 --> 00:16:53,500
Tell me, when you contacted Ms. Goodwin,
345
00:16:53,967 --> 00:16:58,667
you contacted her because you knew
she was a wedding planner, right?
346
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,633
- Yes.
- And when did you contact her?
347
00:17:01,633 --> 00:17:04,600
I believe I contacted her in January.
348
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,333
And at the time you contacted her,
had you made any wedding plans at all?
349
00:17:08,333 --> 00:17:10,233
- Um, very little.
- Okay.
350
00:17:10,233 --> 00:17:11,800
During the course
of your wedding planning,
351
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,367
she said she would help you?
352
00:17:13,367 --> 00:17:14,433
[Philpot] Yes.
353
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:16,667
Prior to January 2021,
354
00:17:16,667 --> 00:17:20,633
when you contacted her,
when was the last time you saw her?
355
00:17:20,633 --> 00:17:23,867
- [Philpot] I can't even remember.
- Well, was it in 2020?
356
00:17:23,867 --> 00:17:25,600
- [Philpot] No.
- 2019?
357
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,667
No.
358
00:17:26,667 --> 00:17:28,800
So you hadn't seen her
in at least two or three years?
359
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,400
- Yes.
- How many times in that two-
360
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,834
or three-year period did you communicate
with her by text or by phone?
361
00:17:34,834 --> 00:17:37,233
- Never.
- So the reason that you called her
362
00:17:37,233 --> 00:17:40,533
in January of 2021
was to assist you with your wedding?
363
00:17:40,533 --> 00:17:41,600
- [Philpot] Yes.
- And she did?
364
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,834
- Yes.
- That's why we're here?
365
00:17:43,834 --> 00:17:47,300
{\an8}She said she laid out a whole bunch
of money for you in planning your wedding
366
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:51,300
{\an8}and purchasing things for your wedding,
and she wants to be reimbursed for that.
367
00:17:52,066 --> 00:17:54,567
So, when you called and asked her
to help plan your wedding,
368
00:17:54,567 --> 00:17:56,166
what did you ask her to do for you?
369
00:17:56,166 --> 00:17:58,300
I asked her to help me
cause I really didn't have
370
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:01,100
a sense of, like, direction
of what to do for a wedding.
371
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:05,467
And I asked her if she would pay
for a decoration,
372
00:18:05,467 --> 00:18:08,233
and then I told her that I was getting
my tax return and that I would pay her
373
00:18:08,233 --> 00:18:10,967
for the decoration,
and we started with that.
374
00:18:11,867 --> 00:18:13,133
- Started with that?
- Mm-hmm.
375
00:18:13,133 --> 00:18:17,133
How much money in total
did you pay Ms. Goodwin
376
00:18:17,133 --> 00:18:19,667
for her work
in planning your wedding?
377
00:18:19,667 --> 00:18:21,300
{\an8}I paid her 50 bucks.
378
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:26,333
Well, don't you think that's ridiculous?
It is ridiculous, right?
379
00:18:26,767 --> 00:18:31,433
You called her and engaged her
to be a wedding planner for your wedding.
380
00:18:31,433 --> 00:18:34,800
She wasn't your best friend,
she wasn't even a close friend.
381
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,000
You hadn't spoken to her
or seen her in years.
382
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,033
So, clearly you called her
to do a job for you
383
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,934
that was her profession, her vocation.
384
00:18:45,934 --> 00:18:49,233
And in addition to doing that,
she bought you your wedding dress?
385
00:18:49,233 --> 00:18:52,033
- Yes.
- How much was your wedding dress.
386
00:18:52,033 --> 00:18:54,266
I ended up, oh well we got a few dresses.
387
00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:57,567
The first one didn't work out,
and I believe that one was 200.
388
00:18:58,133 --> 00:18:59,900
- Who paid for that one?
- She did.
389
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:03,266
So the first one didn't work out.
That was two hundred dollars.
390
00:19:03,266 --> 00:19:04,934
- Yes.
- And it didn't work out why?
391
00:19:04,934 --> 00:19:06,934
- I didn't like the fit on it.
- Didn't like it. Okay.
392
00:19:06,934 --> 00:19:09,333
- But you bought it? She bought it?
- Yes.
393
00:19:09,333 --> 00:19:10,934
And where is that dress now?
394
00:19:10,934 --> 00:19:13,433
I gave it back,
and we ended up returning it.
395
00:19:13,433 --> 00:19:15,266
- Okay, so you got your money back?
- Yes.
396
00:19:15,266 --> 00:19:18,166
Oh great, strike that out.
And what about the next dress?
397
00:19:18,166 --> 00:19:21,900
The next dress, it was from Amazon,
and we didn't like the fit either,
398
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:24,233
so we ended up returning that one.
And that one was...
399
00:19:24,233 --> 00:19:26,867
Who ordered that dress?
You or the plaintiff?
400
00:19:26,867 --> 00:19:29,433
I believe it was me.
401
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,266
Okay.
And what did you finally end up with?
402
00:19:32,266 --> 00:19:35,333
I ended up getting a dress
from David's Bridal that I really liked.
403
00:19:35,333 --> 00:19:36,567
How much was that?
404
00:19:36,567 --> 00:19:37,767
I believe it was 500.
405
00:19:37,767 --> 00:19:39,700
- Who paid for that?
- She did.
406
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:44,166
So far you've paid $50 for her services,
and so far, at least what I know,
407
00:19:44,633 --> 00:19:47,233
just for one, dress it was $500.
408
00:19:47,667 --> 00:19:50,567
Don't you think you owe her
compensation for her work?
409
00:19:50,567 --> 00:19:54,433
{\an8}Well, she told me that, you know,
she was really, really generous.
410
00:19:54,433 --> 00:19:59,867
{\an8}She was giving like a lot of stuff
and I believe that I don't owe her
411
00:19:59,867 --> 00:20:02,100
because she offered to do...
412
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,433
It sounds stupid to you?
Okay, I know it sounds stupid to you.
413
00:20:07,433 --> 00:20:09,433
How much did you lay out
for her wedding?
414
00:20:09,433 --> 00:20:11,300
In the receipts that you have for me,
415
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:13,400
how much did you lay out for her,
for her wedding?
416
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,934
3287.95.
417
00:20:15,934 --> 00:20:20,066
And when you asked her to be reimbursed
for that money, what did she tell you?
418
00:20:20,066 --> 00:20:24,533
That she was going to pay some of it
when she received her tax returns.
419
00:20:24,533 --> 00:20:26,667
Actually her wife's tax returns.
420
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:30,000
And also she was working overtime
to pay me back.
421
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,900
She also stated that she was going
to be getting a judgment
422
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,734
from a State Farm check,
that she would be making payments,
423
00:20:38,734 --> 00:20:44,266
and she did pay the $50 after she made
a payment arrangement with me
424
00:20:44,934 --> 00:20:47,066
to pay $200 a month back.
425
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:49,967
And she did make the first payment of $50,
426
00:20:49,967 --> 00:20:52,967
and from that point she didn't make
any additional payments.
427
00:20:52,967 --> 00:20:56,800
So we did work together, Your Honor,
to try to sell the items
428
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,367
that were at her sister's home.
429
00:20:59,367 --> 00:21:04,633
I requested both Kayla and her wife
at the time to sell the items.
430
00:21:04,633 --> 00:21:08,567
They were sitting in her sister's garage
in Stockton, where I do not live.
431
00:21:08,567 --> 00:21:11,767
I did come down for two weeks
to try to help sell those items.
432
00:21:11,767 --> 00:21:14,433
- Were any of those items sold?
- Yes, they were.
433
00:21:14,433 --> 00:21:16,166
- Did you get any money back?
- I did.
434
00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:18,133
- How much?
- $106.
435
00:21:18,133 --> 00:21:20,367
And then I had to pay for shipping
for those items.
436
00:21:20,367 --> 00:21:21,667
How much did you pay for shipping?
437
00:21:21,667 --> 00:21:26,100
$75, and the rest of the items
are still in her sister's possession.
438
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:27,867
Okay, 3226.
439
00:21:27,867 --> 00:21:33,567
How much did you pay for your wedding
other than the plaintiff's participation?
440
00:21:33,567 --> 00:21:35,867
- Um, 8,000.
- Did you pay that?
441
00:21:35,867 --> 00:21:38,900
My mom paid for the venue,
and then I paid for the other things.
442
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:40,800
- How much was the venue?
- 4,000.
443
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,533
So you paid 4,000. You personally?
And what about your wife?
444
00:21:44,533 --> 00:21:47,367
Well, we share an account,
so goes from both of us.
445
00:21:47,767 --> 00:21:50,433
What about her $3,200?
Just don't have it.
446
00:21:51,233 --> 00:21:53,934
Just didn't pay you?
Okay, anything else Ms. Goodwin?
447
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,600
- No.
- 3226, judgment for the plaintiff?
448
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,033
[Kevin]
This court is adjourned.
449
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,367
{\an8}She told me that a lot
of the stuff was gifts.
450
00:22:03,367 --> 00:22:04,767
{\an8}I don't have any more wedding woes.
451
00:22:04,767 --> 00:22:06,100
{\an8}She did a great job with the wedding.
452
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:07,300
{\an8}She thought it was a gift.
453
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:08,700
{\an8}She's really, really gifted at that.
454
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:10,633
{\an8}Never gonna loan money to her again.
455
00:22:12,033 --> 00:22:15,967
That was a relatively easy case.
I think even the defendant acknowledged.
456
00:22:16,533 --> 00:22:19,367
Besides just relying
on the goodwill of the plaintiff,
457
00:22:19,367 --> 00:22:23,333
she had no real excuse to not
pay her back and... makes our job easy.
458
00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:25,066
- Some are easy, some are hard?
- Yeah.
459
00:22:26,767 --> 00:22:30,266
