wow Jerome talking had me shook! i can’t believe he was actually listening to the case, sometimes i feel like he just be standing there ready to go home 🤣🤣 gotta love Jerome ❤️😩
Right! I've never seen neither one come down and console anyone let alone both of them! Amazing. This one hurt really bad. I think they comforted them more because they both were alone. The poor girl said no one was at her delivery. 😢 Idc what she did that's not a good feeling at all. Bless them both. I hope they start a family together and raise that beautiful like boy.(wishful thinking)
Never seen the Judge and Bailiff act like that. It no longer mattered that it was a TV show. It became way to real and they wanted to help and comfort. Those two are great!
I AGREE SHE IS THE BEST JUDGE EVER , WHEN JUDGES CAME TO TV JUDGE JUDY WAS GREAT TOO NOW ITS THIS JUDGE. AND IM PROUD SHES A WOMAN OF COLOR GOD BLESS THIS WOMAN .
The judged did it because the girl was crying as if she was just told that a loved one had died. The woman is dressed like a librarian but she definitely isn't a good girl I seriously doubt dude was the only one who hit on the first day of meeting her after a few hours of knowing her.
@vlg1728 I don’t think it was that. She said in her message that they were going to get a test when the baby arrived. She didn’t move forward because she claims she thought it was him responding & not his girlfriend initially responding to her first text message that she sent to him about the child. Unfortunately she got caught up in her feelings instead of doing the right thing. Also she stated she didn’t tell the other guy so it seems like she either really thought he was the father wholeheartedly or she was just trying to claim a person as the child’s father & put them on child support. It’s very sad. I feel bad for all parties. Even though he’s just a baby he could feel different when he gets older. 💔
Yes, esp. sleeping together after a few hours , then unprotected. He's not her first & the baby look just like her, so no telling who the father is........
She's crying saying how can it be, he looks just like him - yet when asked admitted earlier that she doesn't know who the child looks like and can't tell. Girl bye. 🙄
@@michellemalone5048..it was the mother's wail of regret and shame it spoke volumes. She knows that he won't stick around and the real father has long since dumped her. The court recognizes that too. This guy loved that child. Really a sad situation.
@@sherrodmacs3472 if the real father don't care as much as this man do??? Than doesn't matter who's the father, it's matter that this one really love this kid
Jerome is such a caring person. The way he spoke to Michael in all his pain was truly refreshing. I cried with him. It seems like he really sacrificed a lot for that beautiful baby
This one was "deep". The first time I seen the judge come around that bench and onto the floor. The first time I really heard Jerome speak...and words of wisdom at that.
The reason why she didn't tell the other man and why she cried that hard is because she knew that the other man wouldn't be there for her or the child. She knew that man was a good father and she wanted that for her child, but I believe she knew. I feel bad for the man and the child.
Agree 100%. They want something to be so bad, they forget that it's not the case. And when they don't consider other possibilities, reality hits that much harder.
Not if you know how to simply say thank you and walk on. Maybe have some chatting, flirting, maybe exchange numbers or social media info. She takes the cake for "fast", and I wouldn't want him for my child's father, if he's picking up chicks with some other woman's baby in the stroller. WTH? I am literally aghast. The baby is in actual danger - either the mother or the "legal father" are dangerous to minors, if they pick up any ol' trash off the street and put their children around them, just so they can get laid. Who raised these 2? Ugh.

While I am sympathetic for the baby and I agree that he needs SOMEONE in his life, I DON'T AGREE with either the Judge or Jerome encouraging this man to take responsibility for a child that isn't his. That's not fair. Men shouldn't feel pressured to assume a role that isn't theirs. If it's what he WANTS to do, fine. But let's not pressure someone to take on a responsibility isn't rightfully theirs.
Brandy Martin I agree...however signing the birth certificate is acknowledging paternity he might as well be in his life because he’ll probably have to pay child support
Exactly. Jerome and Judge Lauren had me upset when they said that. Why tf should be take care of a child that's not his? The man needs to take his name out of that birth certificate ASAP and leave that child and his mother behind.
That's really not fair of them to do that. If that's a role that he wants to play then that's his decision to make, but let him make that decision himself. Also I'm not judging the mother, but she said that there was one other guy. By her reaction there may be more than one. Hopefully she will find out though. I wish her the best.
Well let’s be honest here. Judge Lake and Jerome(Ron as well) have seen a TON of cases and I would hope, she has gotten updates on these families. Many fathers who wanted to be the father and HAVE been a DAD to the child, get railroaded to this idea that because the child isn’t mine, I’m not the father. they were assuring this man that he will always be a dad because that’s what he’s done. She’s giving him encouragement to see the bigger picture. She’s not pinning a baby on him because he chose to be there. He made attempts to be there for this woman and that’s what makes a dad. And he is hurt. You just gone sit there like “it’s ok you’ll be okay?” No man needs that. I just want you all to open yourself to the situation when you’re watching this show. You have to place yourself in both shoes as the mother and potential father. This man signed the birth certificate he experienced life and death with this baby. He formed a bond and loved his baby. And the woman allowed him because she liked the man he was as a dad. You can’t just let a man grieve in silence. We need to encourage them. He said “I’m not the father he’s not mine” but besides signing the birth certificate, he has been a dad. And that’s what they are saying. So many men come in like jerks ditching the child and not showing an ounce of concern to the child before the court date and you mad she is trying to give him the bigger picture because HES been there? That’s crazy
I believe her attitude in the beginning was a facade and that was her way of protecting her feelings. She was mad because he dipped out. But clearly she isnt that type of person. They both took it hard
Queen Jackson Because she won’t get to punch her meal ticket. This dude truly loved the child and would have done everything possible to care for him. She knows the father can’t or won’t be there and she is on her own. Problem is, she knew that before she spread her legs for him, yet did it anyway. That’s why she never told anyone else they could be the father.
charles anderson that’s not really true because the other man’s family was also claiming the baby while she was pregnant. Maybe the other dude is in jail.
He’s so hurt, this one made me tear up 😢. Men, please stop signing these birth certificates without a DNA test if you are not married to the mother. If you’re married you have nothing to lose, the state will name you the father by default so it doesn’t matter.
@@YT4Me57 I shed a tear when I heard the results. It's very unfortunate for all parties involved. I believe they would have co-parented well. I hope they can work something out for the child's sake. Blessings!
If you put them in their normal street clothes and not dressed like grandpa and grandma they’d look more their age... the stylist is an old school mortician I think ;) be well.
Right! .. I say that every time I watch this when their age are revealed they look older than me to be in thier twentys and I'm forthy five. Good figure.😱
While I agree with everything said here I do believe she truly felt he was the father. I don't know why she felt that way considering she openly admitted to sleeping with at least one other man but for some reason she did.
Wale Williams that’s what the tears are for! She went with Michael because she knew that other guy don’t want her & the baby. Michael wanted to be the father yet she throwing child support out there?! Ugh
So trifling ! She wanted to stick him with child support, not even tell her ex he could be a potential, then claim they look just alike ? My heart goes out to him 💔 We need an update !
@@sevenmoore9208 What’s staged? These are TRUE paternity cases! Over the past couple years I’ve known couple people personally who went for that FREE DNA lol. And if you are talking about the “dramatic exit from the bench of L Lake then,” first off, she never really does that to begin with; this was an unusual occurrence. Second, what really is the benefit to staging this? If she frequently did that, then I could see the argument that it is for a “dramatic” effect each time, but this was one VERY RARE OCCURRENCE that it just doesn’t fit the “it’s staged theory.” She was just genuinely touched and very sympathetic in that moment and that just happens to be the extent she felt like going to with her empathy. Both these individuals were clearly VERY HURT by the results and if those reactions were fake, FORGET Lupita Nyong’o, them two should have by now not only couple OSCAR awards, but their stars need to be on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and they belong in Hollywood then, if those tears and reactions are fake lol.
why would he berate the mother she was hurting. Also the father had a another girlfriend at time of conception. Sad all round I really wanting him to be the father.
Oh goodness. This was sad, judge turn into the good Auntie... Jerome was the therapist... but I can say that he did dodge the bullet with the girl. 🤷🏽♀️
No he didnt dodge a bullet.Even though he's not the father he is on the hook for child support FOREVER because he signed the birth certificate..thats the law.
Once a paternity test is done, he can overturn any child support proceedings and he can also remove his name from the birth certificate. That's the real law
G.O N depends on the judge. They don't casually release men from the obligation unless the biological father is found and agrees to paternity. Someone has to pay, and the court's only concern is that it not be the taxpayers.
Lil Lady I think Jerome has seen so much fuckery in court, he could not stand by and watch a good man suffer. He read the woman for what she was immediately, and so did Judge Lake. They both let her wail away while they comforted the man. Clearly this man needed a strong male presence in his life early on, and didn’t have it. MAJOR KUDOS TO Jerome for being there at the right time.
@@charlesanderson1963 nah Jerome the police, he knew what was up. Descalate the situation. At least while they are in his court room. Jerome and Lauren knew better than to let this go unaddressed. Lol.
Ken Fulton {Baby Elder} I agree, but she’s immature, probably scared, angry and took it out on him. Doesn’t make it right, just further proof that these young women need to value themselves and their bodies more. It was 💯 her responsibility to say no thank you.
The message she sent him telling him she was pregnant was nasty!!!! She is disgraceful, I can’t say I feel sorry for a woman like that but for the child to have a mother like her
Smh... It always happens like this that when the man wants to be the father and he ain't. The way she was acting throughout and her mindset 😒 I feel sorry for the young man not her... 🤷🏾♀️
Her attitude was all for show. It's what she learned in the streets. Her real self came out when she heard that test result. That was her; I thought she would pass all the way out and need medical intervention. My heart breaks for both of them. It's a mess.
? This is very sad because I believe she did tell her ex-boyfriend that he could be the father and he probably told her he didn't want to have nothing to do with her of that baby so she was hoping that it was his
@@tinabethea7868 Hmm. That could very well be the case. However, if that was the case then she lied about it which is perjury. But foremost if one is going to be sexually active without commitment with multiple partners, it's your own responsibility to protect yourself. Simple as that.
He's in the best position ever.He can love the child mold the child and help support the child.He can do it better because it's his choice not hers or the courts.I have a similar situation and my son and I have zero pressure from mom or courts.I dont feel obligated to do anything but I do it anyway,no pressure.
I love how the judge came down to console both of them. That was a wholesome moment throughout all the chaos. She knew about the possibility ik its difficultto hear but she cN still find his father
I truly felt for this brother from the heart! When people talk all the time about our men being "dead-beat-dads", check out the pain of this programme. A lot of us men go all out for our kids, because we know what's at stake! I feel his pain, I really do! Real men feel this brother!!! 👊🏾🙏🏾❤
So I salute step father's stepping in and raising and treating children that isn't theirs as they are theirs and with no difference as their own my son chosed him n asked him was he his daddy at 2 years old cause his bio dad hardly been around and he has other grown children as well besides my son he never been apart of their life
I always feel bad for the guys when Judge Lake does that. It seems manipulative to ask him if he will stay on the spot with cameras rolling. A decision like that should be made with a lot of thought and consideration in private - not by being put on the spot in from of an audience and cameras for a national TV show.
@@patrickraymond5855 you are right he would be under pressure to agree while on tv in front of so many people. it would be for the best if he got his name of the birth certificate or he will have to pay tons of child support when and if they break up.
I definitely see where you’re coming from but I have a different point of view. There are so many men and women who stepped up to be parents to children that they have fallen in love with and want to be there for. I have seen it firsthand. These kids did not asked to be there and if a man or a woman wants to be there as their father or mother figure, that is completely up to them. Regardless, there is a stigmatism for men who are taking care of children that are not biologically theirs. I feel like when the judge encourages them to continue what they are doing, it’s not manipulation, rather than trying to removing that stigma and letting them know that it’s okay.
@@patrickraymond5855 she always says that staying is an option if the men "WANT" to. Look back in the video and she says that. Plenty of men say that if it's not their baby they will leave and no one blames them for that. But for other men who have created such a strong connection with a child. sometimes it's in the man's best interest to be in the child's life even if it's only emotionally and not financially. If you have ever had a child or become close to a baby you know it only takes a few months to create a strong bond.
I hope so too. For the child support & birth certificate the judgment might help him get a way out of that. But I hope he stays in his life. After all, he might be that role model he needs to be a responsible & respectful young man!!
Before the results: Judge: do you think he looks like the defendant? Mother: idk After the results: Mother: (screaming through spit and tears) HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM GTFOH Next case! 👩🏾⚖️
She was using the man... And hoping for a miracle with the results.. she needed him to be the father because the real father won't help her like this one would
I have 2 sons and if that was my son I don't want anyone trying to convince him to still play a role that's not his, only because some women can be vicious and when the mother gets ready she'll take the child away because it's not his or call the cops and say he's kidnapping the child because it's not his. Yes, every child deserves a father, but you shouldn't pressure or convince someone to take on that responsibility because there's some cons that come from dealing with unstable women.
I agree with you. And it causes problems for the man in future relationships other women...... And too...... what happens when the child's father decides to be in the child's life!!' It's best to leave that trouble alone!!!!
Not that simple. You sign the birth certificate, you ARE the legal father. The state will come after you for child support and with that they will order visitation he can even ask for custody of the child. If she dies or goes to jail he gets the kid.
@@tjean3117 I get that it's not that simple. But so many of these cases, the women are only focusing on one man knowing they've been with more than that one person. And some men are good guys and may come from single parent homes or even two parent homes and are trying to do what's right. Yes they should make dna tests mandatory at birth. But if it comes out that this it's not the man's child, he should be able to get his name taken off the bc. Too many women are out here taking advantage of good men. I've watched an older sister damage men being spiteful.
The real father, who she knew was the father from the beginning, is either Married, in prison/"away", wants nothing to do with her or he's dead. Only reason she tried to pin it on this guy without telling the other possibility or possibilities.
I love how the judge and jerome both leave their position(s) to speak to them, amazing moment that I have never seen in the so many episodes that I have watched.
The judge and jerome gave the necessary reaction because i believe they seen the genuine passion and hurt in that mans eyes which is something very veryyyy veryy rare on this show .
You're right and wrong at the same time. She WANTED him to be the daddy, but had NO CLUE who the daddy was. Cos that hole spread more open than a 7/11. So she spin that dice and guess what, she LOST. She is a LOSER. Regards, G.
Come through Jerome, he may not speak much- but when he does!!! Judge was touched by this young man- he’s not the father, but he can be a daddy, he said “that’s my boy”!!!! Touches your ❤️.
As a father to a new born this one got me 💔 why is the lady crying like that, you wanted a DNA from the jump. The window of conception is a small one, how do these ladies manage to sleep with multiple men RAW in such a short time span? It’s just NASTY! P.S Jerome is an OG
She definitely knows the child's father but he's no good. That why she thought that taking him to court, he would submit to C Support. Silly girls who intentionally want to hurt men. No she stuck with a burstard
@@micakigs2241that was crazy how the side dude end up leaving her and the baby I guess the other father decided not to be there for the baby he just want some coochie she want to sit there and cry 😭 for nothing

Right.. and she KEPT saying even in court that they needed a DNA test and he knew that and still signed... smh..
Seriously!
So do I 1 man at a time
Lol
Just b/c a man compliments you walking down the street does not mean you should go where he is going immediately. Ladies, come on!
After that I am not signing no birth certificate until we get the results. Who know how many others got some of that.
This one was "deep". The first time I seen the judge come around that bench and onto the floor. The first time I really heard Jerome speak...and words of wisdom at that.
True that. This one was gut wrenching....
C Smooth Jerome is human also.

I think you’re spot on!
You're probably right. But, in his words he admitted she told him from the gate they need to get a paternity test done at birth.

Exactly. Jerome and Judge Lauren had me upset when they said that. Why tf should be take care of a child that's not his?
The man needs to take his name out of that birth certificate ASAP and leave that child and his mother behind.
That's really not fair of them to do that. If that's a role that he wants to play then that's his decision to make, but let him make that decision himself.
Also I'm not judging the mother, but she said that there was one other guy. By her reaction there may be more than one. Hopefully she will find out though. I wish her the best.
Well let’s be honest here. Judge Lake and Jerome(Ron as well) have seen a TON of cases and I would hope, she has gotten updates on these families. Many fathers who wanted to be the father and HAVE been a DAD to the child, get railroaded to this idea that because the child isn’t mine, I’m not the father. they were assuring this man that he will always be a dad because that’s what he’s done. She’s giving him encouragement to see the bigger picture. She’s not pinning a baby on him because he chose to be there. He made attempts to be there for this woman and that’s what makes a dad. And he is hurt. You just gone sit there like “it’s ok you’ll be okay?” No man needs that.
I just want you all to open yourself to the situation when you’re watching this show. You have to place yourself in both shoes as the mother and potential father. This man signed the birth certificate he experienced life and death with this baby. He formed a bond and loved his baby. And the woman allowed him because she liked the man he was as a dad.
You can’t just let a man grieve in silence. We need to encourage them. He said “I’m not the father he’s not mine” but besides signing the birth certificate, he has been a dad. And that’s what they are saying.
So many men come in like jerks ditching the child and not showing an ounce of concern to the child before the court date and you mad she is trying to give him the bigger picture because HES been there? That’s crazy
He dodged a bullet! HER personality was clear the first ten minutes of this!
YESSSS! She would've been a THORN to him.
I believe her attitude in the beginning was a facade and that was her way of protecting her feelings. She was mad because he dipped out. But clearly she isnt that type of person. They both took it hard
He still signed that birth certificate!
@@BigMerkGee he can get a lawyer and have himself legally removed.
@@davidtoldon9853 Depends on the state
She really went from judge 👩🏾⚖️ to mumma 🤗 in 0.2 seconds... The results were so sad, but that moment was beautiful to see
God bless Judge Lake and Jerome for their compassion and care.
That ending killed me.. ughhh man even my boy Jerome was talking.
Truddie Ndhlovu the baby looked like his mother
Jerome was really trying to talk on this one. Okay okay
I bawled too 😢
That broke me down 😞
Jenry Diaz right!!!!
She knew that wasn’t his baby. Idk why she is up there hollering and screaming
Queen Jackson Because she won’t get to punch her meal ticket. This dude truly loved the child and would have done everything possible to care for him. She knows the father can’t or won’t be there and she is on her own. Problem is, she knew that before she spread her legs for him, yet did it anyway. That’s why she never told anyone else they could be the father.
charles anderson that’s not really true because the other man’s family was also claiming the baby while she was pregnant. Maybe the other dude is in jail.
Exactly. Talking about whyyyyy ..uh because you slept with multiple men....that's why?
Right. She knew it. Straight up.
@@rhuttrho88 Absolutely
He’s so hurt, this one made me tear up 😢. Men, please stop signing these birth certificates without a DNA test if you are not married to the mother. If you’re married you have nothing to lose, the state will name you the father by default so it doesn’t matter.
Exactly!!!!
I’ll never understand why people name their baby’s a junior if they’re unsure who their dad is 🤷🏻♀️
🤣😂
I agree with you!!!
They get caught up in the moment I guess. Childbirth is one of the most intense emotional things you could ever be a part of.
I would never name my son a jr. Thats dum give ur son his own name so he can be his own man one day not be in ur shadow.
He was all in like rolling dice today he crapped out. These women are rolling dice and baby mama crapped out. Dna day 1.
I cant evn this was hard yall.
Jerome speaks life..😥
Yes he does. He knows how to speak to a man.
We all love Jerome 😊
This was ROUGH...
Jerome speaks truth. I feel for this guy. He's a good man.
😰😭..The Love in his voice for the child..I was hoping he was the Dad..
Me too
When I heard the results, I slammed my hand down on this computer table! I was hoping beyond hope that the baby was his...
I was wrong because I just knew he was the biological father but DNA don't lie, smh. Sad for all involved.
me too
@@YT4Me57 I shed a tear when I heard the results. It's very unfortunate for all parties involved. I believe they would have co-parented well. I hope they can work something out for the child's sake. Blessings!
This is a perfect example of not signing a birth certificate before you get a DNA test.
Gosh the ending though!!! Got me in tears! Alright Jerome!!
I mean literally had me 😭😭😭... I'm Sad for him.. Hope this open her eyes about using protection..smh
Their ages got me confused😩
Jerome needs a raise! Mr. Psychologist👏👏
Jerome in the house....JerRomieRome in the house.

Wow!!! It went fast. From a walk to the store to intercourse.
Jana Pointer 😯
Man she went straight to child support at the same time saying she was pregnant didnt even give him a chance to say anything just child support.
Nothing screams "classy" quite like this :-\
@@justinwallace451 right..she didn't even give him a chance to say they could come to an agreement without the courts. Smh
Wow.
This is the first time that I have seen the judge come out of her seat (and the court bailiff) to comfort a couple. This is very touching.
These some old face looking twenties year olds.This younger generation is living a fast, ruff and hard life.
If you put them in their normal street clothes and not dressed like grandpa and grandma they’d look more their age... the stylist is an old school mortician I think ;) be well.
Lol hard to imagine
Jessica Kelly AGREED!! I thought he was in his 30’s!
Cynthia Kline Baby, this has nothing to do w/ clothes. They look hard in the face
Right! .. I say that every time I watch this when their age are revealed they look older than me to be in thier twentys and I'm forthy five. Good figure.😱
When Judge Lake says "good day everyone" does anyone else say "good day" back like they're in the courtroom?
I always do..
I do too!!😂😂😂
All the time hahahahahahaha
LOL! That just made me laugh out loud for real!
LOL
👀👀... she is way too nonchalant during the hearing... ugh. These women are something else.
She's trifling
Nonchalant...until they're crying their eyes out on national TV because they don't know who they been laying up in the bed with that made a baby.
While I agree with everything said here I do believe she truly felt he was the father. I don't know why she felt that way considering she openly admitted to sleeping with at least one other man but for some reason she did.
Smash Marxism oh she knew. The real father probably doesn’t want anything to do with her that’s why she’s crying her eyes out
Wale Williams that’s what the tears are for! She went with Michael because she knew that other guy don’t want her & the baby. Michael wanted to be the father yet she throwing child support out there?! Ugh
Awww Jerome.... You are the best. Judge Lauren and Jerome. I love you both..... I'm in tears.
So trifling ! She wanted to stick him with child support, not even tell her ex he could be a potential, then claim they look just alike ? My heart goes out to him 💔 We need an update !
I was completely overwhelmed with emotion seeing the Judge come down to console the mother and gentleman. What a sweet spirit she has.
It's all staged relax
Comfort the woman and shame the man into being a simp , chump and paying for a kid that's not his..sad
@@sevenmoore9208
What’s staged? These are TRUE paternity cases! Over the past couple years I’ve known couple people personally who went for that FREE DNA lol.
And if you are talking about the “dramatic exit from the bench of L Lake then,” first off, she never really does that to begin with; this was an unusual occurrence. Second, what really is the benefit to staging this? If she frequently did that, then I could see the argument that it is for a “dramatic” effect each time, but this was one VERY RARE OCCURRENCE that it just doesn’t fit the “it’s staged theory.” She was just genuinely touched and very sympathetic in that moment and that just happens to be the extent she felt like going to with her empathy.
Both these individuals were clearly VERY HURT by the results and if those reactions were fake, FORGET Lupita Nyong’o, them two should have by now not only couple OSCAR awards, but their stars need to be on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and they belong in Hollywood then, if those tears and reactions are fake lol.
@@stevenprince763you speak the truth
This was a hard one for me, the father didn't even berate the mother, it was so.cordial.
So true
why would he berate the mother she was hurting. Also the father had a another girlfriend at time of conception. Sad all round I really wanting him to be the father.
This is the realest episode, the one that leaves you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 that Dad will raise the baby. Kudos to the Judge AND Jerome!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh goodness. This was sad, judge turn into the good Auntie... Jerome was the therapist... but I can say that he did dodge the bullet with the girl. 🤷🏽♀️
No he didnt dodge a bullet.Even though he's not the father he is on the hook for child support FOREVER because he signed the birth certificate..thats the law.
Danielle Harper definitely!!!!
Once a paternity test is done, he can overturn any child support proceedings and he can also remove his name from the birth certificate. That's the real law
Danielle Harper he signed the birth certificate. He may have dodged a bullet with the girl, but threw himself under the train with the baby.
G.O N depends on the judge. They don't casually release men from the obligation unless the biological father is found and agrees to paternity. Someone has to pay, and the court's only concern is that it not be the taxpayers.
Jerome you are so amazing, i felt that's what he needed (a man to tell him his worth).
Lil Lady I think Jerome has seen so much fuckery in court, he could not stand by and watch a good man suffer. He read the woman for what she was immediately, and so did Judge Lake. They both let her wail away while they comforted the man. Clearly this man needed a strong male presence in his life early on, and didn’t have it. MAJOR KUDOS TO Jerome for being there at the right time.
@@charlesanderson1963 nah Jerome the police, he knew what was up. Descalate the situation. At least while they are in his court room. Jerome and Lauren knew better than to let this go unaddressed. Lol.
Ms.Wilson is wrong for that message.. thats why you can’t just lay up with just anybody fellas
Exxaacctly! She is beyond trifling.
Facts, you ain't lying
You can but you better put a fortress around your hoo-hah.
Ken Fulton {Baby Elder} I agree, but she’s immature, probably scared, angry and took it out on him. Doesn’t make it right, just further proof that these young women need to value themselves and their bodies more. It was 💯 her responsibility to say no thank you.
Both sexes need to be taught respect for each other. You can not get pregnant if both sexes are not hunting for Pootie tang
The message she sent him telling him she was pregnant was nasty!!!! She is disgraceful, I can’t say I feel sorry for a woman like that but for the child to have a mother like her
Heartbroken first time I've seen this reaction from Judge Lauren and guard Jerome 😪❤🕊
Why the snoring face bro
@@painoftheheart12 that's a crying face lol
Really such a good judge
@@painoftheheart12 a face symbolizing pain from within.
Smh... It always happens like this that when the man wants to be the father and he ain't. The way she was acting throughout and her mindset 😒 I feel sorry for the young man not her... 🤷🏾♀️
Her attitude was all for show. It's what she learned in the streets. Her real self came out when she heard that test result. That was her; I thought she would pass all the way out and need medical intervention. My heart breaks for both of them. It's a mess.
C. McKinley I really feel sorry for the Child
@@1311609 yes I do too.
?
This is very sad because I believe she did tell her ex-boyfriend that he could be the father and he probably told her he didn't want to have nothing to do with her of that baby so she was hoping that it was his
@@tinabethea7868 Hmm. That could very well be the case. However, if that was the case then she lied about it which is perjury. But foremost if one is going to be sexually active without commitment with multiple partners, it's your own responsibility to protect yourself. Simple as that.
Walk away man. Don't get trapped.
Exactly!
Mgtow
I think his heart is already trapped. Hope he can work his way through this.
He's in the best position ever.He can love the child mold the child and help support the child.He can do it better because it's his choice not hers or the courts.I have a similar situation and my son and I have zero pressure from mom or courts.I dont feel obligated to do anything but I do it anyway,no pressure.
real isrealite well u sir are a clown
I love how the judge came down to console both of them. That was a wholesome moment throughout all the chaos. She knew about the possibility ik its difficultto hear but she cN still find his father
Omg . I'm crying. It's the man . He looks like he lost everything omg
I can't but cry. I mean cry. This is so emotional! Thanks Jerome. You're my best cop.
He's a bailiff not a cop.
@@brishaberries0101 thank you. I never knew.
Egbon, I also cried ooo. The birth of the baby is too special and him witnessing it is alone to make him break down knowing he isn't is.
It dont matter.....he is empathic. Kind personality.
I truly felt for this brother from the heart!
When people talk all the time about our men being "dead-beat-dads", check out the pain of this programme.
A lot of us men go all out for our kids, because we know what's at stake!
I feel his pain, I really do! Real men feel this brother!!! 👊🏾🙏🏾❤
So I salute step father's stepping in and raising and treating children that isn't theirs as they are theirs and with no difference as their own my son chosed him n asked him was he his daddy at 2 years old cause his bio dad hardly been around and he has other grown children as well besides my son he never been apart of their life
literally the most heartbreaking episode i’ve EVER witnessed i’m so hurt 😭
I've never heard Jerome talk so much in one eps. Nice to hear.
melissa taylor Rightt....
he made me cry instantly. they were really touched by this couple
FACTS
Wow, Judge Lauren and Jerome really step it up in this. God bless you all.
Yes you gotta love Jerome, he has a lot of patience and he spoke well.
I like how Judge Lake and Jerome were so compassionate, God bless you.
Wow didn't expect the judge to come off the bench and the baliff also gave support
I don’t like her at all🙄 the way she demand child support and have another potential father🙄🙄🙄evil‼️
Krysie Kay OMG, okay! I thought the same
Yea her attitude stinks and the universe gave her some humble pie. 🤷🏽♀️
She came off as too hard. What about the other men? They should have taken that Dna test from day 1.
That's what hood boogers do!!!
She have a nasty attitude,
Stop saying he needs to be there for the baby that’s not his son. This woman is trifling. He needs to run and never go back to her.
Yep
I always feel bad for the guys when Judge Lake does that.
It seems manipulative to ask him if he will stay on the spot with cameras rolling. A decision like that should be made with a lot of thought and consideration in private - not by being put on the spot in from of an audience and cameras for a national TV show.
@@patrickraymond5855 you are right he would be under pressure to agree while on tv in front of so many people. it would be for the best if he got his name of the birth certificate
or he will have to pay tons of child support when and if they break up.
I definitely see where you’re coming from but I have a different point of view. There are so many men and women who stepped up to be parents to children that they have fallen in love with and want to be there for. I have seen it firsthand. These kids did not asked to be there and if a man or a woman wants to be there as their father or mother figure, that is completely up to them. Regardless, there is a stigmatism for men who are taking care of children that are not biologically theirs. I feel like when the judge encourages them to continue what they are doing, it’s not manipulation, rather than trying to removing that stigma and letting them know that it’s okay.
@@patrickraymond5855 she always says that staying is an option if the men "WANT" to. Look back in the video and she says that. Plenty of men say that if it's not their baby they will leave and no one blames them for that. But for other men who have created such a strong connection with a child. sometimes it's in the man's best interest to be in the child's life even if it's only emotionally and not financially. If you have ever had a child or become close to a baby you know it only takes a few months to create a strong bond.
Crazy how she said she can’t see the baby looks like anybody, but after the results ‘he looks just like him!’😂
And the fact they comforted her when she was in the wrong was comedy
Exactly
Exactly..
She was probably hoping it was, but didnt want to give anything away before hand...
Dude has to leave that situation immediately.
He seems like a really good guy.
He got me crying. I hope he stays in that baby's life. That's the type of father ALL children deserve.
I hope so too. For the child support & birth certificate the judgment might help him get a way out of that. But I hope he stays in his life. After all, he might be that role model he needs to be a responsible & respectful young man!!
He said he isnt going to claim a baby that isnt his. I can't blame him
@Whyntir But he also called the child his son after finding out that he wasn't the father.
One moment she doesn’t see that he looks like anyone, now he looks just like him 😒
🙄🙄
She knew all along.
Screaming it out ,,just screaming it out, denying it looks anything like the ex but it's written all over her face that it does.
I said thesame thing 😂
Mannnnnnnn when they both come down to console the FATHER, it shows just how amazing that man is 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Before the results:
Judge: do you think he looks like the defendant?
Mother: idk
After the results:
Mother: (screaming through spit and tears) HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM
GTFOH Next case! 👩🏾⚖️
Writer Photographer 😂😂😂😂👌🏽🤦🏽♀️
GTFOH indeed
She is young and immature. Just wanted to be on tv. Heffah knew the whole time. Lol
I know right!
She was using the man... And hoping for a miracle with the results.. she needed him to be the father because the real father won't help her like this one would
I have 2 sons and if that was my son I don't want anyone trying to convince him to still play a role that's not his, only because some women can be vicious and when the mother gets ready she'll take the child away because it's not his or call the cops and say he's kidnapping the child because it's not his. Yes, every child deserves a father, but you shouldn't pressure or convince someone to take on that responsibility because there's some cons that come from dealing with unstable women.
I agree completely Natasha
I agree with you. And it causes problems for the man in future relationships other women......
And too...... what happens when the child's father decides to be in the child's life!!'
It's best to leave that trouble alone!!!!
Not that simple. You sign the birth certificate, you ARE the legal father. The state will come after you for child support and with that they will order visitation he can even ask for custody of the child. If she dies or goes to jail he gets the kid.
@@tjean3117 I get that it's not that simple. But so many of these cases, the women are only focusing on one man knowing they've been with more than that one person. And some men are good guys and may come from single parent homes or even two parent homes and are trying to do what's right. Yes they should make dna tests mandatory at birth. But if it comes out that this it's not the man's child, he should be able to get his name taken off the bc. Too many women are out here taking advantage of good men. I've watched an older sister damage men being spiteful.
The real father, who she knew was the father from the beginning, is either Married, in prison/"away", wants nothing to do with her or he's dead. Only reason she tried to pin it on this guy without telling the other possibility or possibilities.
She slept with dude a few hours after meeting him. Who knows how many men are potential daddies.
You are very wise!
“Away” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀 ain’t lying tho
I love how the judge and jerome both leave their position(s) to speak to them, amazing moment that I have never seen in the so many episodes that I have watched.
She said she didn’t know who her baby looks like but now......🤦🏽♀️
Exactly what I said 🤣
Okaaaay!
Sad...young people, smh. Cute baby though.
Yeah, that part
That baby looks dead on her. She knows it.
But how she go from "I don't know who he look like" with no care to a definitive "He look just like him"😒
Exactly 🤣
I said the same thing.
I said the same thing!
Am sure the doctor made a mistake, he is the father
i was thinking the same thing, we are listening lol
Why is it always Facebook? Everything goes down on Facebook.

Even Jerome is giving advice and support. I actually cried on this one
I love Jerome he's the best
Me too
Me too
Same
Me too
The judge and jerome gave the necessary reaction because i believe they seen the genuine passion and hurt in that mans eyes which is something very veryyyy veryy rare on this show .
She doing all that crying knowing she was sleeping with different men. She knew he wasn't the father
Whitney J she sure did. She knew exactly who to pin the baby on this guy is the definition of a SIMP and I hate using that word but he’s it.
You're right and wrong at the same time. She WANTED him to be the daddy, but had NO CLUE who the daddy was. Cos that hole spread more open than a 7/11. So she spin that dice and guess what, she LOST. She is a LOSER. Regards, G.
Right 😂😂😂😂
Her face dry...she faking
I believe generally women know who’s the daddy.
Oh my God! This brought me to tears.
Hope they made it through this.
Come through Jerome, he may not speak much- but when he does!!! Judge was touched by this young man- he’s not the father, but he can be a daddy, he said “that’s my boy”!!!! Touches your ❤️.
Mom: I don't know who he look like.
Judge: you are not the father
Mom falling out: he looks just like him. 😒
Yea she a pathological liar like really she was standing there acting nonchalant at 1st
😂😭💀
She was really hoping
Right! She was a whole mess!
😂
The fact that the judge and Jerome has to comfort this man touched my soul! 🥺
I'm not going to ignore the fact that she put/demanded the man be on child support w/out even knowing if he was his dad!
The fact that she told him she was going to child support court is a whole mess
He still signing the birth certificate and naming the child. Good man but bad judgement.
So sad! I'm in tear 😭😭😭😭😭 and my heart breaks for them both.
First time I ever cried about a result

Stop sleeping around....prevention is better than cure
True. But not every one can do it. Protection could have helped.

As a father to a new born this one got me 💔 why is the lady crying like that, you wanted a DNA from the jump. The window of conception is a small one, how do these ladies manage to sleep with multiple men RAW in such a short time span? It’s just NASTY! P.S Jerome is an OG
Ikr? SOMEONE had to catch something 🤢
Judge Lake and Jermore to the rescue with those comforting words, now that's what you called teamwork. This one breaks my heart, i feel for him sigh.
I’ve never seen her leave the bench to soothe someone. That touched me.
She's upset because she went at him nasty talking about child support.
Yes she new she was wrong.
She definitely knows the child's father but he's no good. That why she thought that taking him to court, he would submit to C Support. Silly girls who intentionally want to hurt men. No she stuck with a burstard
You're right. He was all the way decent! These types are wonderful and RARE!
@@micakigs2241that was crazy how the side dude end up leaving her and the baby I guess the other father decided not to be there for the baby he just want some coochie she want to sit there and cry 😭 for nothing

That's called a faithful marriage honey

Much respect to the judge and Jerome for showing empathy after the explosive results.
