Being a Party Animal

The plaintiff says she unknowingly rented her place to the defendant and high-schoolers who were celebrating graduation. She claims they trashed the house, left beer cans everywhere, and broke a storm door. She’s suing for all the damages. The defendant says the plaintiff is blowing it out of proportion. She claims the place looked just fine and denies they left beer cans anywhere.

...The judge is telling the Plaintiffs to 'flip the cushion' to conceal the deliberate 'red ink marks' all over the cushion rather than to pay the price quoted to them by a professional to replace it. ...And if a litigant was to come into her courtroom and tell her that they rented a high-end rental house for the weekend and '''flipped the cushion'''' only to find 'red ink marks' all over the reverse side, then Judge Milian would be the first to state that it was 'sneaky' and 'tacky,' and she would most likely held it against the renter in part of her judgment.

It was honestly kind of shocking, and I think the judges laughing and shrugging off damage contributed to the teens attitude in the hallway. They wouldn't even apologize for their own behavior! "No we weren't inconsiderate because we didn't intend to do damage". I'm sorry?! You broke multiple things in their home while *not taking into consideration* how that would affect the home owners. Then tried to hide damage like the pillow (which wtf why didn't the judge take into consideration that the kids literally stuffed it in a closet to hide it like 5 year olds) and just said nothing and offered to pay for nothing. That would be INCONSIDERATE. And definitely merits an apology. Ugh, the ending of this was infuriating.

They're all in for a rude awakening as they enter adulthood.

Disgusting behavior! Animals 🤮 I graduated high school early. I had an apartment , job and waiting for fall college enrollment. These idiots have no chance!

[@laurad2403]

While I admit that the plaintiffs should have established a minimum age requirement to rent their property from the beginning, I also have to admit that I wish this case would have been on Judge Judy just so the defendants could get a good lecture. If you know, you know 😉

[@Nannerchan]

They were under eighteen. Especially, the young man. They looked middle schoolers.

[@ql688]

they look younger then my 12yr old

[@tonyagibson7986]

That was a female who probably identifies as pan sexual. They all seemed like good kids. Just forgot they were in someone else’s home.

[@George-mf5hq]

This almost like a skit from SNL with those children 🤣

[@Maqqin]

Why didnt JM ask those kids why they are drinking at 18. She’s making jokes & laughing with them. Boy does she pick & choose.

[@emilydutes8272]

The defendant carries herself very well, but she isn't going to age well. She could pass for their mom or older OLDER sister

[@juanitaschumacher5063]

I agree

[@thenewctc]

💯😁

[@juanitaschumacher5063]

Or brother 🤣

[@juanitaschumacher5063]

It's like having a Pit Bull and blaming it's bad behavior on the animal. Mom and Dad don't care

[@erinnicole3170]

I so wish this was on Judge Judy instead! She would have given them the lecture they deserve, not laughing and saying what a great idea to make a slipping slide

[@Jsmall910]

First she said "we were going to the beach" then the judge said who's we??? and then the defendant said "I wasn't there".Lies straight off youd think the judge would pick up on that.

[@PattyPaints]

Really surprised Judge Milian said nothing about the underage drinking. Did the mom even know about that? She looked like either she didn't know or was nervous about what the judge was going to say, but again - no words of wisdom for the mom either. I'm shocked. I feel like JM wanted to be the cool judge in this episode and didn't think about the message she was sending. Who bought the alcohol for all those minors? So many things could've gone wrong... If someone had gotten hurt - the homeowner would probably have been liable. The defendant should've had to pay for the new cushion, and $600 for a mid century leather recliner is ridiculous. They go for thousands! I didn't enjoy this case at all.

[@yemilopez1224]

She probably had a few wild teenage days and understands this is how teens have fun

[@trekgirl65]

@PattyPaints, Judge Millian is just a mediator, and she and her husband raised three girls, all grown and in college now. She knows about teen parties, for she was one once a long time ago.

[@cypherknot]

@@yemilopez1224 so teens having fun means--under the law--they get to trash and damage someone else's property?

It's the case of "It's my party and I'll trash the house if I want to". 😄

[@traceyaz125]

The plaintiffs should have been awarded everything they asked for. I’m sure if those kids did this to JM’s house she would bring down the hammer. She was making light of it by saying it was cool they made a slide from the house to the road. So they didn’t learn a thing and they should have.

[@lolamaude3449]

High school graduation = drunken brawl

[@jeaninewilliamson1893]

I didn’t feel like the “kids” were sorry nor did they feel embarrassed, especially the youngest looking child there! He seemed proud!

[@KADOriginal]

She* They’re all girls.

[@cypherknot]

Not a one of them was 21 and yet there was a lot of beer drinking. Why wasn't that brought up; a house full of underage drunken teenagers? And you know that some were under 18. The neighbor should have called the police.

[@matthewmizell6666]

[@LeolaGlamour]

Because it’s a given kids drink

[@sjn141]

Am I the only that’s thinking the defendants are admitting to a crime for drinking under the age of 21. Unless the drinking age was different whenever this was taped. I mean I’m not judging but I would have stayed home 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@alyssahamlett]

It's a misdemeanor..nothing is gunna happen from them admitting this, cops don't have time to patrol TV shows

[@ralexandra1058]

They definitely admitted to it, even if unknowingly. Highly unlikely anything could be done about it though- since they weren’t caught in the act, and there isn’t an concrete proof of who did what. Had they been caught the consequence would’ve a misdemeanor for underage alcohol consumption / possession... my parents would’ve whooped my butt if I did something like this as a teenager… and then they would’ve testified on behalf of the plaintiff and told the judge to make me pay for it all. Different generation though I guess.

[@alyssahamlett]

@@ralexandra1058 Not a generation thing cops don't have time for this kind of bullshit kind of thing

[@theventxwiz8]

The judge didn't even bother to say anything to the mother of the kids who were drinking at a high school graduation party!??? All of them were in court and the court didn't address it.

[@Labubla]

@@KADOriginal so what Your weird dude go away!

[@daisymaefrench4041]

Just because you are 18, it doesn't mean that you have to be so destructive. People are always making excuses.

[@jo-annbastings]

«Kids are kids»… and when those kids will be older and used to be enabled with that kind of excuses, what will be the next step for their irresponsable behaviors? It’s now, when they are young, that kids have to learn to respect their surroundings and other’s property.

[@manthony777]

Pardon ? 🙄😳

[@prairierider7569]

The new generation of everyone gets a ribbon is already like that, very few and I’m only including 1 of my 2 kids as my youngest is very entitled, but finding out life is hard as I can’t help her with it, are responsible and think of the future

[@JamieM470]

Yeah they all had stupid excuses at the end, and they (and the judge!) were laughing & smiling the whole time. So cute & funny that a bunch of irresponsible kids had a week of drinking & partying & did a bunch of damage to a rental property....and so adorable that no one who showed up in court was responsible for any of the damage. It was all those other people, and it wasn't on purpose. 🤷🤣🤷‍♀ I didn't think they were cute or funny.

[@jo-annbastings]

@@JamieM470 more pathetic than funny in my opinion….

[@rose-marielewis4717]

It's so frustrating that JM does not let them finish a damn sentence! Let them speak and answer the damn question! Plus, this whole laughing throughout the explanation - don't find it funny at all. What are we teaching here? Trashing someone's property is an hilarious laughing matter?! C'mon! And this whole 'kids will be kids' nonsense - yes, as kids they need to be taught responsibility and consequences.

[@SlashTheWeasel]

There are times I am astonished by JM. There are times she will crush people but others like these kids . . . laughing like its nothing. Her whole "gotta get summer job" isn't going to hold much weight.

[@matthewmizell6666]

[@veritasaequitas9875]

I have to express my disapproval of the laissez-faire attitude of the judge to the disrespectful attitude of these kids to the point of enablement. It's no laughing matter when kids have no respect for others' property. The fact that they come out denying that they are irresponsible or inconsiderate is a testament that they have learned nothing.

[@Maqqin]

She looks old as hell for 18 😂

[@MrBillybooks]

Why on earth didn't the Judge give the mother hell for being absent while all of this underage drinking was going on? What does she think led to all the damage? Lucky things weren't even worse, and the absentee mother should be ashamed of herself.

[@julianyc422]

Throwing everything in the closet, breaking furniture, doors, destroying property. "We are responsible"

[@Joeh1154]

Those four kids are 18? I would have asked for their ID's right there in court. A Party rental? Double security deposit.

These kids are exactly just that, kids. They’re excited to be on television and that over powers the gravity of the situation, that is that they destroyed someone else’s property.
