I was initially mad at how shallow he was being. But when they put up the picture of that baby I have to admit it made me cry because it felt painful, imagine your own parent calling you ugly just because you’re born and you don’t look the way that they want you to look. When they’re that young, you are so in love with them they could look like the messiest little garbage troll and you’ll still say “that’s my beautiful boy“, this man hasn’t even tried to bond with his son. When you love and bond with your child you don’t find flaws in them. That little boy is so beautiful but has such a shitty dad.

This is the dumbest case ever 🙄

[@roxsee4739]

This is fake! The show copied a real lawsuit, yrs ago. An Asian women had facial surgery and the man was appalled of her b4 photos. He thought the kids did not belong to him because of their looks. They look like her before her surgery.

I don’t think this is exactly the same thing, even if it’s still one of the dumbest cases I’ve ever seen. The way he started this case made me think that he was an actor who was trying way too hard to play a role or he was one supremely overdramatic guy, just makes your brain melt when you listen to him

UMMM...Her skin is CHOCOLATE. He married her and had a baby with her. Your comment is so asinine and hilarious. She lied and THAT'S what he's mad about. Her new face looks nothing like her b4 picture and you know it. Surgery can change your looks, but getting pregnant will SHOW YOU YOU! NOSE, EYES, 4HEAD, EARS....all of it.

[@user-ug7ff7vl9b]

Ummm … he married her and could plainly see her color, but you think he has a problem with her color ? No. His problem is that he felt he was deceived. Admittedly he is superficial and delusional, but still - his problem is not with her color - his problem is that he believes he was deceived.

the judge didn't want to agree Tania does look completely different from her original face. She claims her trauma was the reason for her going under the knife and not ashamed of it, then why hide it and take advantage of it. I understand why he felt catfished , he was lied to the entire time.

Judge Lake is ridiculous in her behavior towards the young man! This woman lied about her appearance and if the child is ugly the child is ugly and I believe if he would have seen his ex wife in her real appearance he wouldn't have had a relationship with her! We have to be attracted to the person we're marrying, so let's not act as if this young man is in the wrong! This woman is ALL the Way and her cop out story is a lie she's full of crap! That's the story she said she's going to tell so others would have sympathy for her. Let the elevator go to the top!

The baby is absolutely adorable and deserves a father who knows what love is and who loves him.
