[@Shuyin534]

I understand what you're saying as I was in that boat with a couple jobs myself but she was only working part time of such and such hours or so since they've never stated she went full time at the job and if the pay was around $540/wk. I'm pretty sure she must've had something else going on that helped her afford living so she wouldn't have had to work the 2 years there. Because if that pay was what she was getting weekly at the end and it was increasing over time that means it was less near the start and all. As soon as it started happening she should've been looking for another job and then when she found one hand in her two week's notice. That's how I was raised. You don't like the job start searching for another while you're working there and when you find and get another then you're free of that terrible job you're at.

Sexual harassment cases have a tricky process. First, you have to tell the offending person their behavior is creating a toxic workplace. She kind of did that with the emails from his friend, but they weren't sent directly to her from her boss. The other incidents she never said anything about. Also, you have to submit a sexual harassment claim to a government agency like the EEOC. They will conduct an investigation and if they find a legitimate claim, they issue a notice to the victim that allows them to sue for sexual harassment. That didn't happen here, and doesn't happen in most cases. This is one of those cases that feels clean-cut but the law lags behind common sense.

[@AishaBrownIsMe]

Milian chastised the defendant for victim blaming, but she did the same thing by saying the plaintiff stayed so she couldn't have been that miserable. It's obvious that the defendant is a creep who took advantage of a person who needed the money, and had no other good options. The plaintiff got harrassed and ripped off by her boss, for the same reason she was railroaded by Milian; she's not very good at sticking up for herself.

[@ChasRiaStJohn]

She wasn’t “railroaded”. JM is a judge and she’s pointing out something completely obvious. How do you take sexual harassment for 2 years? I mean, she couldn’t find another job? I would haul a$$ and find another job immediately to avoid that abuse. It’s not victim blaming, it’s pointing out the lack of care and responsibility that we owe ourselves, that she did not give herself. That a lot of us don’t seem to give ourselves, especially as women. I agree she doesn’t seem like she can defend herself. That guy and his daughter are scum. And people like them are a dime a dozen. But how do we protect ourselves if we can’t even fight for ourselves first?

[@AishaBrownIsMe]

@@ChasRiaStJohn The huge mistake that you and Milian are making is assuming that everybody behaves as you would. Just like how staying in an abusive relationship doesn't mean a woman is happy with her marriage, people accept workplace harassment and abuse for a number of reasons related to desperation, financial hardships, and a poor sense of self-worth. But the abuser or harasser - who has purposely preyed on a vulnerable person - shouldn't get to benefit off of those circumstances. This woman entered that job believing she didn't have a lot of options because she had been out of the work force for too long, she invested a lot of time and money into the position making it harder to walk away from, she had a severe injury while she was there that required several surgeries and physio (all of which is expensive), and an illness that needed to be managed with medication (another expense), and being berated and denigrated by her boss on a regular basis likely chipped away at her already not so great self esteem. So it's kind of irrelevant what the average person would do, if the plaintiff had a mindset and circumstances that were worse than that of the average person.

Unfortunately, my father acts the same way as the defendant. My father makes raunchy jokes, and has pictures on his computer of naked women. It's uncomfortable, and I hate having to tell him to stop, because he usually gets upset.

[@looknbakatu]

i TRY! my best to take advice/criticism from Family/Friends BECAUSE a stranger may not be as thoughtful with their reply, may be Your father will get a rude "heads up" when he gets a response from someone who doesn't care about his feelings.

I don’t understand how she couldn’t tell he was a sexist & probably did sexual harass her, his answer to the complaint he talked about her weight. What does weight have to do with the case & if she was happy or not? SMH

[@coffeeaddictexpress5038]

He is the 9 to 5 boss Mr. Hart! I totally believe he didn’t give her commissions because she didn’t put out lol. He does not respect woman. Ten bucks says he has never had a male assistant lol.

Or one he'd give commission

DAMN JM LET HER ANSWER THE QUESTION STOP CUTTING HER OFF SHE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME ITS SO RUDE

[@Hennrikay]

The judge should read up more on sexual harassment.

[@Hennrikay]

There was sufficient amount of sexual harassment evidence

[@malikahharris8810]

She is a terrible Judge she clearly does not understand sexual harassment and hostile work environment policies and procedures. This lady should have filed a claim with EEOC

[@goblueinga]

I am so disappointed in Judge for not punishing the defendant for sexual harassment. I understand this was ten years ago, but JM owes this woman an apology.

[@LeolaGlamour]

I wish she went to judge Mathis, he wouldn’t stand for it.

[@synnove1046]

He definitely sexually harassed her. And it sounds like he was a jerk in other ways too, as a boss. I can’t believe that he got away with laughing and smiling when accused of harassment and evidence being shown. Anyone who would react that way when facing a judge does not care about offending his employee or creeping her out. The fact that he brought his daughter to court with him when he knew he was being accused of sexual harassment shows just how little he cares about anyone else’s feelings. He has no shame and doesn’t even understand that he should be embarrassed. I hope the plaintiff reports the sexual harassment to whichever department in her state handles that. I think she could win in a lawsuit that just focuses on that. She needs to get some help with representing herself though. She is timid and doesn’t describe things very well. She needs to look for an organization that helps people with sexual harassment complaints. Even if she doesn’t win her case or if the statute of limitations has passed at least his actions would be on the record. It could possibly help a future victim of his.

[@AmysExquisiteGifts]

Judge should understand that all women aren't as strong to speak out as she or I and that when you are alone in a low traffic office with a man it can be intimidating even if he is a tiny douche bag

[@rosiev20]

The judge clearly forgot what it’s like being a normal employee. This happens far too often. And there are employers that go on power trips to make themselves feel better. If I told my boss to pick something up they would look at me crazy.

Facts

[@amo665]

How, how did she not find him guilty of sexual harassment? His answers literally prove his guilt, and she ruled against her?

[@charamoore9983]

She should have gotten some kind of compensation, she was agreeing the whole time that this man was a creep. I'm not sure what happened here

[@nemanjalukic2422]

I think it was tough to prove sexual harassment, but she should have been awarded at minimum the 2 weeks as there was a lot of proof for hostile working environment. Probably should have given her something for punitive damages as well.

[@teairathomas663]

She should have won her sexual harassment part of the case… He definitely a creep and crossed several lines…Not everyone is in a predicament to stop working

[@lynndominic1967]

I feel she selected the wrong show to go to, she should have gone to JJ she will put him in his right place. I don’t understand JM asking for specific situations where defendant’s demeanor was vulgar and his smirk makes me feel uncomfortable and I am just watching this smh.

[@lindaallen4067]

Would love to see how JJ would have handled it. I think she would at least wiped that smirk off his creepy face!

Anyone else super surprised she didn't get SOMETHING for the sexual harassment? He wrote inappropriate comments IN HIS WRITTEN TESTIMONY for court! 🤦🏻‍♀️ God only knows what he said in a small office!

[@rachelly00]

Really amazed that this judge is essentially rolling her eyes at this woman's claims. This is so sad. I have been treated similarly at work when I was a teenager/young adult and it's heartbreaking to see her treated like she is crazy or delusional.

[@darryldickson4360]

Thank God for Judge Judy 😁

[@CassieAdams-o8f]

I hope she can present her case to EEOC...The defendant is one creepy old man...

[@Plum_doll]

That was sexual harassment, and be proved it in his own answer! She was absolutely entitled to that. He was hostile and ignorant towards her on top of being inappropriate in a sexual manner. He should be paying! I disagree with this ruling

[@kaitoi138]

Why nothing for sexual harassment?

[@cedarsays]

Have to agree with the commenters pointing out that it’s not always easy or even feasible to up and leave a job, even if it’s making you miserable. I don’t believe that her staying is proof that she was never entitled to commissions or that his gross behavior wasn’t gross enough to rise to the level of harassment.

[@jenniferponsart6454]

I think the plaintiff was in an abusive relationship with her ex which set her up for the harassment by the defendant. He knew exactly what he was doing and had no remorse for what he did or said until JM rammed him for his answer to the complaint.

[@kristinascott5071]

Yes, it is sexual harassment. You are 💯 correct. They have you watch videos and tell you unwanted contact is sexual harassment. Yet nothing happens. 🙄🙄🙄

[@rennyray11]

It DEFINITELY rised to the legal standard of sexual harassment!!!

Should of gave her money for true sexual harassment! He even said he was harassing her! Now he will think his actions are justified and will continue doing it to other female workers!

Taking the pics of her secretly crosses the line. I find people at work can get too friendly. That's where work husband or work wife came from.

[@galegibbs5946]

I'm convinced that she was harassed. On the other hand, I also feel that she was over paid. Therefore the judge's verdict was fair.

[@harluquis1229]

This was poor judgement from the judge. Not everyone is blessed enough to be able to up and leave from a job. The defendant wasn't being sexist..he's a pervert and WAS sexually harassing this woman, and the daughter should be ashamed of herself as well.

[@TheSingingGardener]

The guys is obviously a huge creep and the outdoor audience as well as the defendants daughter are all example of why woman do not say anything about being sexually harassed

If you are being harassed at work there are hidden cameras you can buy on eBay that you can purchase to help prove your case.

So, in one sentence, he said he issued her a check every Friday. However, two minutes later, he said it was direct deposited. Also, the things he did, and said to her totally qualify as sexual harassment.
