If she shares a room with three other people why wouldn't she get dressed in the bathroom after taking a shower? Wouldnt she be uncomfortable changing in front of her roommates?
@@rosalynw.otieno1994 I agree, I think her complaint was valid. Especially if she lives in California, good luck finding another place for $450 a month. JJ seems to think packing up and moving is super easy. It's not. To tell the plaintiff to move because she doesn't like the landlord lets the landlord keep acting like a sleaze. I had a room I rented in a house once. Just me in the room, and it was $800 a month. The landlord wasn't a bad guy, but he was obviously interested in me. He was the type who believed that dinosaurs never existed, scientists faked fossil evidence,the world was only 1000 years old, etc, and was a bit of a sleaze himself. We had nothing in common, and I'd never date a landlord even if I was attracted to him (which I wasn't)! One night I went out on a first date with a guy I met. The landlord kept trying to keep me from getting ready by distracting me, but I managed (and my date showed up 45 minutes _early,_ I only had makeup on one eye and was still in sweats, but that's another story, LOL!😅). Anyway let me explain the house layout. There was one bathroom, shared, and it had a door to the hall and a door into the landlord's room directly in front of the toilet, a door he had always closed at night. I got up in the middle of the night to hit the head, and as I groggily went into the bathroom and, well, sat down, I realized the door to his bedroom was wide open. He was asleep (I think) on his bed (facing the bathroom), stark naked, sitting upright, on top of the blankets, with all his room lights on. He _wanted_ me to see him naked! Again, to me he was not an attractive man, which I had kindly tried to make clear by tactfully turning down his advances. I don't know if he thought I'd see him naked and be overcome by passion or what. I closed the door softly (I would have anyway, as I was using the toilet) and never spoke of it. He didn't either. I was _very_ uncomfortable, but moving out wasn't an option. My date that night did become my boyfriend, and we really laid it on thick in front of the landlord, and the advances stopped. My boyfriend and I eventually moved in together in the front room of the house that used to be a garage. We had joint income then, so were able to move out soon after. I don't know if what he did was harassment, stupidity, ego or what, but it sure as heck wasn't okay. Oh, and his daughters would come into my room and steal my clothes, which I didn't catch on to until later. So yeah, just up and moving isn't that easy. And there are no excuses for forcing your naked self on someone, even if only visually.

He breached her lease by entering the room repeatedly with no permission or notice and he was walking around the house practically semi-nude after describing her body parts to her. Wake up people! That’s a breach of the implied warranty of quiet enjoyment of the leased room. She should have stayed in housing court in her state. There are remedies for this violation.

While JJ may be right on the law, what she fails to understand sometimes is that it's not easy for someone to just pick up and move. If you're living in what sounds like a flophouse where there are four people to each room, you're living there because you can't afford to live somewhere else. That's like telling someone who can't find a job in their area to go find one in another area -- like it's easy to just uproot yourself and/or your family and look for work (or housing) in some other place. That's something about her that has always annoyed me.
I was triggered when the grocery store raised the price of tomatoes so I put them back on the shelf and walked on by. Somehow I didn't expect them to give them to me for free because I didn't like the price.

I’m not saying that she’s lying about the SH BUT JJ is right, if you don’t like the situation, then it’s your responsibility to remove yourself from the situation esp when you’re living in that person’s house. The same goes for employment, you get a new boss that you don’t like. You have 2 options: either quit and find a new job or make it work with the new boss.
@missymz; I really don't understand why people focus on this word; I mean it's a word that is often used, as well as in school districts. I won't be surprised that she is a teacher neither.
I chose to move because someone kept stealing cars and firing guns and someone was even shot dead in their front yard which resulted in police helicopters and road blocks to find the person. Guess I need to sue the shooters to cover my moving costs. See how stupid that sounds lol
If a landlord is walking around in his underwear in front of a young, female tenant, that is sexual harassment, even if he doesn't say a thing. He's old enough to know better! If he's saying what she says he said, it's worse. It's completely inappropriate and would make any young woman feel threatened. Saying if she doesn't like it, she should move is just flat out wrong. Why should she have to bear the expense and hassle for HIS bad behavior? What if she didn't have the money to move at that time or wasn't able to find a place with comparable rent? The average person doesn't just have a pile of cash sitting around for things like that. Why does SHE have to pay for his bad behavior? That's just as bad as telling a woman who is being sexually harassed at work to just get another job! Women shouldn't be penalized for BAD BEHAVIOR BY MEN! This is one time that I disagree with Judge Judy and think she needs to stand up for a woman's right to exist without being treated like a sex object.
So what would you have JJ do? I would agree with this statement if not for the fact that he OWNS the property. It’s one thing to have to deal with hostile environments via schools, hospitals and employment but you’re renting a room in someone else’s house. And remember sexual harassment cases still need to be investigated. Hearsay is not evidence.
@@yayalux711 he wasn't the original owner he bought it and decided to do as he please no regards for the other people living in the house...no respect and that's how alot things get swept up under the rug and bad people are free
My grown daughter lives with me. The man who lives behind us keeps trying to flirt with her. Hes about 15 yrs older than her and he likes to walk around outside in just his white bvds. Not boxers. BVDs. He touches himself. Its disgusting. Repeated calls to the police and our mayor have got me told its "ok, its free speech". Have you ever heard such crap?
Plaintiff is not intelligent enough to understand that she lost the case the very first time she raised this bogus harassment issue. JJ even told her 3 separate ways that she has zero cause of action and she still running her stupid mouth about the same exact thing. WOW
The problem here is that JJ did not believe Ashley (the plaintiff) from the beginning (and from the end of Part 1) when she said she told Vernon (the defendant) that _"...I was gonna be leaving because I felt sexually harassed by him."_ After that, JJ saw her as just compounding one lie with more and more lies. I wonder if Ashley said she only wanted back the rent she'd paid while he was the landlord/property manager would JJ have been more agreeable? 🤔 EDIT: JJ should've just used a gavel or asked Byrd to use one because she needed one to "call for order" in her court, at 0:21.
If u dnt want to live with ppl or have “different” type of ppl as roommates then live alone… why does she feel entitled to demand wat type of ppl live there???
She has a point. It's expensive to move. It sounds like this was some kind of shelter. These guys know that and move in trying to get women to "work" for them. She has to have the expense of moving, but he can do what he wants?
I don't disagree with your statement but how much could one person have when she was sharing a room with 3 other people? She was unhoused right before that. Doesn't seem like there would be alot of room for a lot of belongings.
When I was 16 and working as a waitress a customer came in several times and told me to go with him to Florida and I could make money being a stripper. I said No and he left me alone until the next week. After the 3rd time it stopped completely. I didn’t tell him I was a minor in HS. I didn’t tell the manager this guy was harassing me because it was a quick, short-lived conversation. Just a conversation is nothing. If he violated her privacy, why wasn’t it the first thing she brought up? Why wasn’t she saying him barging into her room while she wasn’t dressed made her feel unsafe? Why didn’t she involve the cops? No, there are way too many people, who think everyone else is just a ticket to scam money. She’s one of them and couldn’t understand why, even though she speaks correctly, JJ did not take her demands seriously.
The problem with your statement is she had no proof. No recordings. No police reports. Nothing. You want Judy to just go off her word because she's a woman?
Because she felt uncomfortable. That’s not sexual harassment. Did she go to police? She was uncomfortable so she left. Not everything is a law case. I didn’t like my new manager so I found another job and left. I didn’t sue the company.
I am curious about her statement that she had moved into this home from transitional housing. If this rental was being promoted to vulnerable people through social services (at least when she moved with the original landlord), I think there’s an argument to be made that renters have a reasonable expectation for an above board and safe environment.
@ I don’t think what she was requesting was unusual. She wanted the months rent she paid, her deposit, and moving costs. I don’t recall if the amount for moving was ever said but I think a few hundred bucks to pay for a bedrooms worth of furniture and belongings isn’t a big ask. We all want people to take care of themselves and contribute to society positively and for all intents and purposes it seems that this lady had been doing just that. Again, there’s a lot of context missing so I’m making my best guest on her situation. I think if someone is seeming to do all the things society expects of them and is digging their way out of unfortunate circumstances, I don’t quite understand why we don’t equally shame and hold those who interfere or make things more challenging accountable. I’ve moved dozens of times in my life. Sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for bad reasons and in both cases, moving sucks! It’s expensive, time consuming, and disrupts life for a long while. It’s difficult for me to imagine anyone would want to move when they don’t have to. This lady wouldn’t have known she’d get on JJ.
This is an example of some of the things I didn’t like about JJ. Someone that made $50 million a year hasn’t any idea how difficult and expensive it is for regular people to just “get up and move”. It wasn’t because of the apt, it was because he was harassing her. Walking around in his underwear? I wouldn’t want to live there either and I can see how that would make any woman uncomfortable. Her father was a dentist and has never experienced financial hardship. She wasn’t very good stating her case.
Every time JJ hears a landlord/tenant case, this sentiment always pops up. Yes, is it difficult to move due to financial constraints…absolutely. But that is not the landlords fault. If you were a landlord renting out your house and the tenant was no longer able to pay the rent, the same rent that pays the mortgage on the house, what would you do?! You would tell the tenant, “sorry about your financial difficulties, you can stay here rent free indefinitely and I’ll eat the cost of paying the mortgage” I think not 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@shannonwestley6895then what would you have JJ do?! Tell the landlord/property owner - too bad, so sad, the renter can’t pay so now you have to eat the cost of your mortgage. I think some of yall forget that these landlords are not rich either. They’re also regular people in financial restraints trying to make a living and do better for themselves & their families.
The guy is a pig (no offense to pigs). He engaged in what she felt was sexual harassment but he is so old and out of touch he thinks it is OK. Lots of men like him. I support her - she is fighting back! Maybe he will quit doing it but probably not until it is shown on UA-cam
You don't try to litigate sexual harassment in small claims court. JJ got it exactly right -- she was trying to get a leg up on a nonsense small claims case.
Everyone is so high and mighty in the comments but if this was your niece/ sister/ mom whatever and some weirdo was sexually harassing her in the room she PAYS for then yall would be more empathetic. I feel sorry for her but she had no proof
Poor judgement.. he should compensate her .. she had to move out because of him.. move in costs can be expensive. And it’s coming to her in an unexpected time.. not fair
The problem with your statement is she had no proof. No recordings. No police reports. Nothing. You want Judy to just go off her word because she's a woman?
The landlord can tell you to move at the end of the month just because he doesn't like the color of the shirt you're wearing. "She had to move out because of him" doesn't make him responsible for her moving costs. That's the consequence of not having a long-term lease. Pros and cons to that: you can move when you want and they can make you move when they want.
Your comment tells us you've never rented before. Anyone who's rented before knows they could be asked to leave any minute. If it is monthly payments they get a month notice, if daily payments, good luck with that
JJ was so wrong here. In this economy how is anyone supposed to just up an move? So landlord can be as shady as they want if you're low income because they know you don't have the financials to leave?
The law is the law; low income people do not get a special set of rules. Her not having the money to move doesn’t mean she’s due compensation from him.
Although the plaintiff doesn’t have a case, I do feel bad for her. I was with her the whole time until she used the term “triggered” 😂😂😂 anyways she seems very polite though Judy could’ve went a lil easier on her
asking someone to be a stripper isn't the best form of sexual harrasment to warrent moving fees, also she is blatantly transphobic and uses that as a reason for him to pay
I get her. Sexual harassment is what forced her to move out. She had the intention and the right to stay without having to put up with someone’s inappropriate actions.
The problem with your statement is she had no proof. No recordings. No police reports. Nothing. You want Judy to just go off her word because she's a woman?
How did we get to where we are today with this, "I felt triggered so I..." nonsense?🥴Ok, trigger yourself outta said situation & get gone. IDK what one expects when choosing to live in a shared living space.
Even if the defendant did all of the things that the plaintiff claimed, his actions do not equate to sexual harassment. The defendant may have made "INAPPROPRIATE" comments to her, but he did not physically touch her or violate her in any way. I f a woman is walking down the street, and a man who is passing her makes a comment that he thinks she would be a great stripper, she simply calls him an a-hole and keeps on walking - she doesn't take him to court and sue him for sexual harassment. If the plaintiff didn't like the inappropriate comment that the defendant made, then she should have said, "Hey, I don't like the way you're talking to me, and I also don't like the pattern of inappropriate behavior that I've seen from you. Please consider this my 30 day notice to vacate your property, and I will present you with a written copy of my notice tomorrow." She didn't need to take him to court, because it's a slap in the fact to TRUE victims of sexual harassment and abuse, and it just makes her look like and opportunist trying to get a payout.
I don't know what the lease agreement says, but it would seem likely that you're not allowed to move a different gender into your room and if you moved a man into her bedroom that could be a breach of the lease
JJ always says that she "takes sexual harassment very seriously"... Yet I have yet to see her take it seriously a single time. I'm not a judge, so I don't know if perhaps in a different court she could have even won this case, but if what she was saying was true, that's definitely sexual harassment, ESPECIALLY by a landlord. Telling her she should be a stripper? That is entirely inappropriate! Walking around in his underwear, walking into her room unannounced after she got out of the shower, and then him putting "a man dressed as a woman" in her room? Yeah, that's enough to make any woman, especially with a history of sexual assault, highly "uncomfortable"... Like I said, idk if it's an actionable case, but it sounds like she was in transitional housing, probably from a woman's shelter, so it seems unlikely that she would've moved had he not made it an unlivable situation, at least to someone who has already been traumatized sexually. Imo.
JJ doesn't have a clue what sex harassment is, but it sure sounded like it in this case. I'm surprised she didn't perk up at her report of the landlord coming in unannounced. She's stricter with landlord-tenant rules, but she's been making some terrible rulings lately.
Lady plaintiff your case is nonsense, what prove that as well is lying on the defendant. Judge Judy asked did the defendant ask you & witness to be strippers you said no. y'all to big anyways .Bye Amber Pope. Judge Judy rocks. Move to a cheaper State plaintiff, IN, KS, etc. 🤭 Cali is beyond your financial means. 🤭 Amber no leg up in this case. Lost yay🎉 earn $$ someone else.

For those mocking the educator for saying "unappropriate", check the dictionary.
The dictionaries you refer to merely describe the word used without making any observation about its propriety or standard use.
@missymz; I really don't understand why people focus on this word; I mean it's a word that is often used, as well as in school districts. I won't be surprised that she is a teacher neither.
I would’ve sued him too if I were her 😂 if he did all that. But at least he let her out of the lease and didn’t counter sue.
Why sue him? Sexual harassment is a crime. Go to the police. But she just wanted money.
I chose to move because someone kept stealing cars and firing guns and someone was even shot dead in their front yard which resulted in police helicopters and road blocks to find the person.
Guess I need to sue the shooters to cover my moving costs.
See how stupid that sounds lol
It was a "house for people in transition" that means the tax payers were paying for her to get her life together. Probably paid to move her too.
If a landlord is walking around in his underwear in front of a young, female tenant, that is sexual harassment, even if he doesn't say a thing. He's old enough to know better! If he's saying what she says he said, it's worse. It's completely inappropriate and would make any young woman feel threatened. Saying if she doesn't like it, she should move is just flat out wrong. Why should she have to bear the expense and hassle for HIS bad behavior? What if she didn't have the money to move at that time or wasn't able to find a place with comparable rent? The average person doesn't just have a pile of cash sitting around for things like that. Why does SHE have to pay for his bad behavior? That's just as bad as telling a woman who is being sexually harassed at work to just get another job! Women shouldn't be penalized for BAD BEHAVIOR BY MEN! This is one time that I disagree with Judge Judy and think she needs to stand up for a woman's right to exist without being treated like a sex object.
So what would you have JJ do? I would agree with this statement if not for the fact that he OWNS the property. It’s one thing to have to deal with hostile environments via schools, hospitals and employment but you’re renting a room in someone else’s house. And remember sexual harassment cases still need to be investigated. Hearsay is not evidence.
@@yayalux711 he wasn't the original owner he bought it and decided to do as he please no regards for the other people living in the house...no respect and that's how alot things get swept up under the rug and bad people are free
My grown daughter lives with me. The man who lives behind us keeps trying to flirt with her. Hes about 15 yrs older than her and he likes to walk around outside in just his white bvds. Not boxers. BVDs. He touches himself. Its disgusting. Repeated calls to the police and our mayor have got me told its "ok, its free speech". Have you ever heard such crap?
Plaintiff is not intelligent enough to understand that she lost the case the very first time she raised this bogus harassment issue. JJ even told her 3 separate ways that she has zero cause of action and she still running her stupid mouth about the same exact thing. WOW
I believe she lost the case when she told JJ he wanted her to be a stripper.
So she wanted him to pay money because he came in when she was undressed? How do you measure that ?
Jj is wrong on this he was inappropriate what the hell
She didn't have evidence
Another nonsense case some people have no shame..
The problem here is that JJ did not believe Ashley (the plaintiff) from the beginning (and from the end of Part 1) when she said she told Vernon (the defendant) that _"...I was gonna be leaving because I felt sexually harassed by him."_
After that, JJ saw her as just compounding one lie with more and more lies. I wonder if Ashley said she only wanted back the rent she'd paid while he was the landlord/property manager would JJ have been more agreeable? 🤔
EDIT: JJ should've just used a gavel or asked Byrd to use one because she needed one to "call for order" in her court, at 0:21.
If u dnt want to live with ppl or have “different” type of ppl as roommates then live alone… why does she feel entitled to demand wat type of ppl live there???
Are there no locks in the room or bathroom. Get dressed in the bathroom!
Plantiff is a liar. She is reaching
JJ is wrong. She should have gotten her deposit back.
Why?
Poor miss Mowgli. Stand on your own decisions
He's definitely guilty..
If you weren't there, then he's not "definitely" anything. I do agree that he likely was inappropriate with her, but???
He didn't get a chance to say anything. 😂 what if someone called you a sexual abuser with no proof.
She has a point. It's expensive to move. It sounds like this was some kind of shelter. These guys know that and move in trying to get women to "work" for them. She has to have the expense of moving, but he can do what he wants?
I don't disagree with your statement but how much could one person have when she was sharing a room with 3 other people? She was unhoused right before that. Doesn't seem like there would be alot of room for a lot of belongings.
When I was 16 and working as a waitress a customer came in several times and told me to go with him to Florida and I could make money being a stripper. I said No and he left me alone until the next week. After the 3rd time it stopped completely. I didn’t tell him I was a minor in HS. I didn’t tell the manager this guy was harassing me because it was a quick, short-lived conversation. Just a conversation is nothing. If he violated her privacy, why wasn’t it the first thing she brought up? Why wasn’t she saying him barging into her room while she wasn’t dressed made her feel unsafe? Why didn’t she involve the cops? No, there are way too many people, who think everyone else is just a ticket to scam money. She’s one of them and couldn’t understand why, even though she speaks correctly, JJ did not take her demands seriously.
Welcome to America, are you new here?
The problem with your statement is she had no proof. No recordings. No police reports. Nothing. You want Judy to just go off her word because she's a woman?
Wow. Judge Judy take Sexual Harassment very seriously but totally disregarded this young lady’s complaint of her experience with the new landlord.
Because she felt uncomfortable. That’s not sexual harassment. Did she go to police? She was uncomfortable so she left. Not everything is a law case. I didn’t like my new manager so I found another job and left. I didn’t sue the company.
I definitely disagree with Judge judy on this
Wasted tax payers money
I liked the plaintiff and feel for her she is Pretty and respectful
The defendant is a creep
She should have gotten her deposit back
If she was so shook by the SA, why isn't this case in a real court. Sorry JJ fans, you know what I mean by "real" , right?
I am curious about her statement that she had moved into this home from transitional housing. If this rental was being promoted to vulnerable people through social services (at least when she moved with the original landlord), I think there’s an argument to be made that renters have a reasonable expectation for an above board and safe environment.
But not for money. Yes speak to social services, but that would not be a cash cow.
@ I don’t think what she was requesting was unusual. She wanted the months rent she paid, her deposit, and moving costs. I don’t recall if the amount for moving was ever said but I think a few hundred bucks to pay for a bedrooms worth of furniture and belongings isn’t a big ask.
We all want people to take care of themselves and contribute to society positively and for all intents and purposes it seems that this lady had been doing just that. Again, there’s a lot of context missing so I’m making my best guest on her situation. I think if someone is seeming to do all the things society expects of them and is digging their way out of unfortunate circumstances, I don’t quite understand why we don’t equally shame and hold those who interfere or make things more challenging accountable.
I’ve moved dozens of times in my life. Sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for bad reasons and in both cases, moving sucks! It’s expensive, time consuming, and disrupts life for a long while. It’s difficult for me to imagine anyone would want to move when they don’t have to. This lady wouldn’t have known she’d get on JJ.
This is an example of some of the things I didn’t like about JJ. Someone that made $50 million a year hasn’t any idea how difficult and expensive it is for regular people to just “get up and move”. It wasn’t because of the apt, it was because he was harassing her. Walking around in his underwear? I wouldn’t want to live there either and I can see how that would make any woman uncomfortable. Her father was a dentist and has never experienced financial hardship. She wasn’t very good stating her case.
It's not JJ's job to criminalise anyone. That's for the police. This is a civil court. If she was S.H. she needed the police involved to stop him.
I agree. She sometimes makes it seems like everyone is rich
Every time JJ hears a landlord/tenant case, this sentiment always pops up. Yes, is it difficult to move due to financial constraints…absolutely. But that is not the landlords fault.
If you were a landlord renting out your house and the tenant was no longer able to pay the rent, the same rent that pays the mortgage on the house, what would you do?!
You would tell the tenant, “sorry about your financial difficulties, you can stay here rent free indefinitely and I’ll eat the cost of paying the mortgage”
I think not 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@shannonwestley6895then what would you have JJ do?! Tell the landlord/property owner - too bad, so sad, the renter can’t pay so now you have to eat the cost of your mortgage.
I think some of yall forget that these landlords are not rich either. They’re also regular people in financial restraints trying to make a living and do better for themselves & their families.
Yeah JJ really has no clue about living week to week
Defendant dead-ringer for Red Foxx. Plaintiff lucky she didn't hear, "I'm coming, Amber. It's the big one this time, honey!"
What a waste of time for JJ and millions watching this crazy lady's case.
He didn't sexually harass her and shes stupid for renting in that crazy crowded house.
I felt a bit sorry for the girl because Judge Judy took an instant dislike to her.
Judge Judy is so heartless at times.
No, shes sensible. The plaintiff was uncomfortable with the defendant so she moved. That’s not a law suit.
The guy is a pig (no offense to pigs). He engaged in what she felt was sexual harassment but he is so old and out of touch he thinks it is OK. Lots of men like him. I support her - she is fighting back! Maybe he will quit doing it but probably not until it is shown on UA-cam
Pictures or it didn't happen. If he's walking around in his undies, grab your camera.
She came to the wrong court. Judge Judy dont care. Smh
You don't try to litigate sexual harassment in small claims court. JJ got it exactly right -- she was trying to get a leg up on a nonsense small claims case.
Everyone is so high and mighty in the comments but if this was your niece/ sister/ mom whatever and some weirdo was sexually harassing her in the room she PAYS for then yall would be more empathetic. I feel sorry for her but she had no proof
Poor judgement.. he should compensate her .. she had to move out because of him.. move in costs can be expensive. And it’s coming to her in an unexpected time.. not fair
The problem with your statement is she had no proof. No recordings. No police reports. Nothing. You want Judy to just go off her word because she's a woman?
The landlord can tell you to move at the end of the month just because he doesn't like the color of the shirt you're wearing. "She had to move out because of him" doesn't make him responsible for her moving costs. That's the consequence of not having a long-term lease. Pros and cons to that: you can move when you want and they can make you move when they want.
Your comment tells us you've never rented before. Anyone who's rented before knows they could be asked to leave any minute. If it is monthly payments they get a month notice, if daily payments, good luck with that
Id say either because of her size, she was fantasizing or they were blind
JJ was so wrong here. In this economy how is anyone supposed to just up an move? So landlord can be as shady as they want if you're low income because they know you don't have the financials to leave?
I'm sure there is another place she could move
Exactly… That’s what I’m getting from this case.
The law is the law; low income people do not get a special set of rules. Her not having the money to move doesn’t mean she’s due compensation from him.
Although the plaintiff doesn’t have a case, I do feel bad for her. I was with her the whole time until she used the term “triggered” 😂😂😂 anyways she seems very polite though Judy could’ve went a lil easier on her
I believe he was sexually harassing her
I agree. But she did what she needed to do and that is to move. She can sue him for harassment but not for her moving expenses
asking someone to be a stripper isn't the best form of sexual harrasment to warrent moving fees, also she is blatantly transphobic and uses that as a reason for him to pay
and she did the right thing by moving...but trying to make him pay like her life was in danger is not it...
💯@@lostsoul1209
Yeah, we should believe all women. Smh
This happened to me when I got my first apartment. He even came in my apartment when I wasn’t there without telling.
What did any of that have to do with her deposit? Normally, Judge Judy gets that back.
JJ NEVER listens to the woman when it comes to sexual harassment. If your a woman don't go on her show
Because so many women have false claims
Get off your high horse
I get her. Sexual harassment is what forced her to move out. She had the intention and the right to stay without having to put up with someone’s inappropriate actions.
The problem with your statement is she had no proof. No recordings. No police reports. Nothing. You want Judy to just go off her word because she's a woman?
That’s not why. I think he’s gay
😂
JJ wrong again
She's another MAGA liar
How did we get to where we are today with this, "I felt triggered so I..." nonsense?🥴Ok, trigger yourself outta said situation & get gone. IDK what one expects when choosing to live in a shared living space.
Even if the defendant did all of the things that the plaintiff claimed, his actions do not equate to sexual harassment. The defendant may have made "INAPPROPRIATE" comments to her, but he did not physically touch her or violate her in any way. I
f a woman is walking down the street, and a man who is passing her makes a comment that he thinks she would be a great stripper, she simply calls him an a-hole and keeps on walking - she doesn't take him to court and sue him for sexual harassment.
If the plaintiff didn't like the inappropriate comment that the defendant made, then she should have said, "Hey, I don't like the way you're talking to me, and I also don't like the pattern of inappropriate behavior that I've seen from you. Please consider this my 30 day notice to vacate your property, and I will present you with a written copy of my notice tomorrow." She didn't need to take him to court, because it's a slap in the fact to TRUE victims of sexual harassment and abuse, and it just makes her look like and opportunist trying to get a payout.
That woman is so weird.
I don't know what the lease agreement says, but it would seem likely that you're not allowed to move a different gender into your room and if you moved a man into her bedroom that could be a breach of the lease
JJ always says that she "takes sexual harassment very seriously"... Yet I have yet to see her take it seriously a single time.
I'm not a judge, so I don't know if perhaps in a different court she could have even won this case, but if what she was saying was true, that's definitely sexual harassment, ESPECIALLY by a landlord. Telling her she should be a stripper? That is entirely inappropriate! Walking around in his underwear, walking into her room unannounced after she got out of the shower, and then him putting "a man dressed as a woman" in her room? Yeah, that's enough to make any woman, especially with a history of sexual assault, highly "uncomfortable"... Like I said, idk if it's an actionable case, but it sounds like she was in transitional housing, probably from a woman's shelter, so it seems unlikely that she would've moved had he not made it an unlivable situation, at least to someone who has already been traumatized sexually. Imo.
JJ doesn't have a clue what sex harassment is, but it sure sounded like it in this case. I'm surprised she didn't perk up at her report of the landlord coming in unannounced. She's stricter with landlord-tenant rules, but she's been making some terrible rulings lately.
Sexual harassment is not a crime and only applies to work environments.
JJ forget to eat breakfast? Seems hangry lmao
Lady plaintiff your case is nonsense, what prove that as well is lying on the defendant. Judge Judy asked did the defendant ask you & witness to be strippers you said no. y'all to big anyways .Bye Amber Pope. Judge Judy rocks. Move to a cheaper State plaintiff, IN, KS, etc. 🤭 Cali is beyond your financial means. 🤭 Amber no leg up in this case. Lost yay🎉 earn $$ someone else.
