What an idiot. She's definitely a good woman. You can clearly tell he has abusive traits just by this court video and no wonder he went to prison for assault with intent to kill cause he got problems. Seriously.

Don't you mean sick of these men popping up? She was minding her business and 39 years later HE took her to court about paternity.

[@melthomas6519]

Exactly!!!! I had a dead beat mother who praise God didn’t raise me a day in my life. Her and my father were whores. However, had my father known I existed he would have taken care of me . She caused this by not telling him about me while she sat on welfare with 2 other kids. I don’t bring up his name to her- he died when i was 8 and when I turned 14- her sister who adopted me found his family who lived 20 minutes away and couldn’t figure out why he never mentioned me. We had to tell them he did not know. He was a male thot too but they didn’t tell him because they didn’t want him - with the decent job to get custody of me before that adoption was finalized. He was a singer and boxer- had a good family who never asked for a dna test. His mom and all his brothers , sisters and and all my cousins and their kids met me at my gramma house. My uncle said you are my brothers daughter- then we went to my gramma where everyone was waiting like a family reunion. They gave me his records, his pictures, his obituary, called his other 2 kids to tell them. Took me to every family reunion, to church because i didn’t get they from my mother side. I’m 46 now and those who are left never turned their back on me. Wanted me to be saved, live for God and be successful. They never ask about my bio mom . They only know she didn’t raise me. I went to college with 2 male cousins. Had I not known I could have ended up with one of them. Somehow my whore of a mother whose now 71 doesn’t feel she did anything wrong. Now I have a brother who was a year older than me who died. His dad who he never knew and my dad were apparently cousins. I put two and two together because they both have the last name of a famous singer and both are allegedly related to him. Same small city. She thinks that’s cute also. She always wanted me to fail and be a whore like her and not get a diploma or degree- because her sister and her husband got the credit for that. She wanted me on welfare- so she put me on it when I didn’t even live with her. She now tries to say you were on welfare. When in actuality I was on fraud. The only thing I fault my father for in this was laying up with her. He didn’t want her. He would have never taken her to his family because he could do better and he did. All the blame goes on her. I’ll never defend her. I just feel bad that she is an old lady now whose lonely and miserable just like she was at 25. No license, section 8, no life. No going out just to eat or shopping. Nothing but sitting in the old folks bldg on Fakebook all day and looking at obituaries of people in state she hasn’t lived in since 82🤷🏽‍♀️. I’ll see both my dads in heaven but not her because she will never repent of fornication and other wicked mess she’s done- even covering up the murder of my brother I mentioned earlier who died at 20

The plantiff is a dead beat who abandoned his child....

[@dieKommentatorin]

I always get a weird feeling when someone doesn't show up. That's often proof enough.

[@Bishopmoni]

Or maybe someone doesnt want to relive past trauma

[@nb6426]

Honey I would not want a relationship with him

[@marissabaty2849]

JM can be antagonistic.

[@travismaxwell9115]

Now you know, either you're going to establish a relationship or leave it alone.

[@ritaprivate8399]

No matter how many times I look at this one, I get mad all over again. Smh poor excuse of a man, father, person, husband and etc.

[@djamalwendy2872]

And what about the mother who loved drugs more then her children ? Everything is on a man right lol

[@ritaprivate8399]

@@djamalwendy2872 I'm strictly referring to him at court the way he talking to his daughter.

"...a bigger woman than the little man" WHEW!! Well said Judge! What a dishonorable man!

[@biggsrudeboy7268]

She wearing that shortcut I like it

[@kiajames7737]

I believe him but when She threw that potato salad in there. “That I made”🤣

[@calebcaston5176]

The defendant look like she don’t play no games

[@Ms_Tania]

I don't know who's worse when it comes to not accepting their role and just blaming everyone else,between the mother and the father!!! And to place blame on another person because someone is addicted to drugs and overdoses,is ignorance.

[@sconiersclan]

Wow just freaking wow! I’m surprised judge didn’t tell him to shut up

[@nannynewsviews542]

He is really angry at himself....and projecting it onto her. He needs to take accountability

[@DeeDiamond2981]

The mom is an adult though... Why the daughter picking up like dat. The man seems okay with keeping d distance for no more drama to occur..

[@Bishopmoni]

To abandon a child for the mere fact to not have drama is pathetic like yoj

[@areacode228]

Another sad case of a deadbeat. Why confirm paternity after almost 40 years? His lack of maturity at his age is unbelievable. #pitiful

[@bushkin54]

I don’t believe her, she said her mother told her he was in jail when she was born. How when the mother clearly said in the video he was the first person to hold her?

[@andrekelly3150]

Yes the daughter statement and mothers statement contradicted each other!!

[@lalapeak4473]

And why is he yelling like he's in the army 🤦🏽‍♀️! I'm surprised Judge Mathis didn't tell him to shut up 😂

[@esharenee4186]

Many people will look back on their life at an old age and regret every choice they made and how they never fixed them, but laid in them.

[@ultimatecouponlady]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why children should not have babies. Smh.

[@robert123461]

I’m a woman but sometimes I feel that judge Mathis be taking the women sides to much, Bc sometimes women will lie, especially if we’re bitter and mad 😂 I know I have
