Throwing Punches at a Pageant

The plaintiff runs a pageant, and the defendant was a contestant. The plaintiff says the defendant was upset about an ad the defendant wanted to put in the program book but never made it in. They got into an altercation, and the plaintiff is suing for emotional distress and the cost of a car key. The defendant is countersuing for a refund on the ad, a retainer fee, and defamation. #JudgeMathis #RealityTV #Court

how you lie to the judge when he's holding the evidence in BOTH hands?? LOL

[@audrelordhammercy612]

I’ve competed in this system in a different state and was put through horrible trauma. And I won my state title. I could tell the young lady was telling the truth.

[@Missyjjm]

It’s the defendant for me 👏🏽👏🏽 beautiful and held her composure

[@preciousgemstylez1768]

Erika came highlighter ready baby.

[@igotit416]

I'm so glad judge didn't just make a judgment off of the fight and cleared his head after seeing the pics

[@junem.3568]

The defendant did the "leg-work" and WON!

[@CALord-tc7ww]

Even when clearly losing your case if you have evidence you have a chance.

[@cindysammy2513]

She could have waited until Monday. She was upset about losing.

[@TheSolitary1]

Exactly

[@Dee-qo7gh]

She messed up when she danced around the last question. He asked her 4 times. Then it became obvious she knew she did something rong.

[@k.denise7053]

Plaintiff messed up about those keys.....it was all over from then on....JM was suspicious

[@aacrobatt1705]

Blatant or confused you have to give accurate information and when your the plantiff your the burden of proof.

[@juliethomas-begay1742]

The defendant was so caught by JM... Lol She couldn't have really thought they would take her side just because the calm voice she's using..

[@courtneyr1856]

You mean the plaintiff?

[@juliethomas-begay1742]

@@courtneyr1856 Oh no, i meant the plaintiff in the 1st half of the case and by sheer luck towards the end JM got short tempered and gave the defendant her judgment cuz she said the wrong thing.. Interesting and entertaining fr🤣

[@maemae1155]

I knew something was shady & phony about the plaintiff as soon as home girl started speaking from the VERY BEGINNING lol. She really thought she had this win in the bag but once the defendant started to bring out the “facts” & Judge Mathis started with his questions that’s when she started talking in circles 😂 I’m so happy Judge Mathis eventually was able to see right through her lies though & I also applaud the defendant for staying calm & collect in the beginning so she could just be able to make her case in the end by exposing the plaintiff’s lies! I know the plaintiff is highly upset that she even decided to bring this case to court & on national television at that 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 Once Judge Mathis catches you in 1 lie, you lose all of your credibility with him 💯 #YOURCASEISDISMISSED 😌

[@aacrobatt1705]

Well the plantiff sued for a key which she lied about -dismissed and the emotional distress she said was the abuse her niece was receiving so she became irrelevant very quickly the defendant became the plantiff and the defendant became the plantiff

[@lillianwilliams5510]

I believe Erica. that ad probably cost her winning. Most of these private pageants are won by who brings in the most money. Were there other contestants, whose ads didn't get in the program, I dare say,Erica's was the only one . That program should have been proofread before bring published. I have seen very similar situations in other pageants or contests. The money is still the main issue!!! Why do these young ladies wear these extremely tight skirts or pants. Thank you Judge Mathis. I agree with you,on this one!!!

[@mssugamoma]

What does a skirt or pants have to do with this case? Make it make sense hater!

[@juantubey]

@@mssugamoma She had to chip that in. Couldn’t help herself. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Lyric-sd5tb]

@@juantubey Right! She looked nice in her outfit.

[@vintagejai]

They’re not even tight, they’re fitted, if you don’t feel comfortable wearing clothes that show your shape that’s fine but let them live. You’re complaining like they got some hoochie clothes on, they look good and professional.

[@Danny-mg1hu]

@@mssugamoma in another case, Judge Mathis called out the two women for wearing revealing clothing....trying to entice the judge.

[@sheilahumphrey-morris1588]

The plaintiff showed her real character. Judge Mathis wasn’t having none of it. Now she has lost her integrity.

[@fwb1012]

Erika looks fabulous ❤️❤️❤️ Well damn, that went sideways?

[@Bbyb00gangsta]

The plaintiff was winning in the beginning should've played jm like that HE SHAMED HER LMFAO

[@brookelynnkeele6841]

You have beautiful skin 😊☮ Not on subject but just to let you know! Have a blessed day

I feel like he always sides with the older person at first but then when the truth is revealed he’s very fair

[@niecy678]

He better get the one kenya did correctly lol. You know sis don’t play

[@JS_my_opinion]

I've never heard of the plaintiff and I live here, was born here, partially raised here. Not throwing shade but she ain't well known as she's claiming here in Columbus, OH, 🤷🏾‍♀️ js. HOWEVER, she will be remembered after viewing this case!

[@NellieKAdaba]

🤔👍🏾

[@faithwins6214]

Okkk, never heard of this mess and Im 40 yrs old. We have family business and history, so I wouldve heard about this!

[@fattydjbynum]

Tbh this happened to me and I was in Mrs Illinois America pageant first time I’ve ever experienced racism

[@DorisPayne348]

This is my favorite episode! I watch it frequently. That defendant ought to go to law school 😌

[@ashbryles8091]

"I'm not them!" 😭😭🤣🤣 Perrriiiooooddddd!

[@NycBeauty]

She was most likely ENVIOUS of the lovely lady.

[@OutSpoken75]

I’m so happy the defendant won 🥇

[@isiahwarner3087]

Damn, it got so bad at the end with the plaintiff"s web of lies that they had the plaintiff being interviewed in a broom closet!! Judge Mathis don't play with that ish and wanted to remind the plaintiff who's running things. The plaintiff was literally in an adult time out!! 😅🤣😂

[@dwyaneohmar9418]

Flatout!! Good win for the Defendant! And not for nothing, It was definitely Shade from the get go from the Plaintiff. Because why wasn’t her ad Placed to begin with . It’s giving Jealousy. And That is why The defendant felt like she had to ask for her money at that very moment & wouldn’t get her money if she had to wait because it was probably a lot of things going on that led her to believe the character of the Plaintiff was dishonest and spiteful.
