arander you say you are not responsible for that damage is that correct absolutely your honor all right tell the court how the damage happened you know I met the defendant last fall through a hookup app if you will it's basically where you go to find the love for the night and not necessarily a love of your life of your life correct all right so you're on the hookup app I am on the hook that is correct you're on and it hooked you up with Miss arander that is correct okay go ahead we go out to

dinner she was having a good time I mean we were having such a good time time we had a couple of drinks that uh towards the end of dinner your honor she was literally begging me to go back to my place all right were you begging him Miss arander Were You Begging Mr Martinez to go back to his place your honor I was begging for him to shut up so I was yeah let's get this over with cuz I could not stand one more word I thought when you're on the hookup app you trying to

find somebody you want to hook up with she looked okay on the pictures but once she once I met him and I heard what was coming out of his mouth oh my God I got this and I got that and I'm so rich and look at me I mean come on he Ain the big thing so at dinner you weren't really into Mr Martinez mm so how did you get over to his house why' you go over to his house if we get this over with I shut him up and I use his little body

maybe after the two wine you know the two glasses of wine maybe I you know it won't be so bad so like you know the two glasses of wine was good was is a lot so now we going out dates and we just we're just having sex with people for sport why not I me I don't like going to the gym and I mean this is this kind of stuff is fun okay so you want him to shut up and hook up shut up let's go to your house and then I you know I was

going to figure out way how to just you know get to bus wanted to hit it and quit it yeah it was late already what was like going to do I mean he was already there might as well just whatever use him I mean oh your honor your honor um uh while at dinner she was drinking like a fish that's I want to add that she was definitely drinking like a fish you took her there and you said she could have whatever she wanted I want to get to the place when the damages happened at

your house absolutely so you both admit that you willingly went back to Mr Martinez's house were you intimate at his house at that point your honor I decided to go ahead and ask her hey are you okay with having another glass of wine to the point your honor where she was like yeah yeah cuz I want you to shut up all right and so when we did that your honor we had all of but two seconds of a conversation before she lost all her Marbles and jumped all over me and we began to hook up

all right so you all started hooking up on the couch at your house you gave her another glass of wine even though you already observed that she was Tipsy and miss arri you do not refute this testimony so I have the two glasses of wine at the restaurant when we went to his house I barely had a sip I didn't want anymore as I said so with my Nyland I stuck them in his mouth trying to be sexy so yeah we started making out but here Mr Martinez seems to be so upset that I didn't

want to fall happens that causes the damage after she jumped all over me um because you're so sexy things got really intense things got really intense to where she dropped the glass of wine red wine mind you all of them I surely white rug you are hooking up and she's got wine in her hand or is the wine on the table where is the wine do you have a picture of the damage that it left I do your honor let me see that please so you gave her red wine she had it in her hand

that is correct and then you guys are hooking up but she's holding the wine why this is happening I don't really know whether she was holding it where she put it down I do know that she knocked it over she dropped it or she knocked it over was it on the T oh there is no table the stain of red wine didn't come out on your couch it did not your honor so when the wine spilled you just kept on hooking up absolutely I was In the Heat of the Moment coming up I feel she's

responsible for paying for that so oh now you bring it up well we brought it up at the same time did you say no when he asked you to go out again miss amender absolutely I was not interested on following up on that thing and later did each godmother know that the other one existed I thought they did I never honor I didn't even give it how would you think they did you would have to know that if you'll be in the Los Angeles area and want to bring your case to court call 18885526638 we're

back with the case of Marcus Martinez who is fighting with Sarah armeries over red wine stains there's the stain after it's over there's text messages here that is cor what happen so does do you stay overnight Miss amender absolutely not okay so the hookup happens and then you go home yes how do you talk to her about this damage to your couch so your honor after a few days you know after we hooked up um you know I said hey let me go ahead and give her a call you you know would let's go out

for dinner again and she said no now mind you your honor not that I care that she said so the next day you called her ask her out to dinner again well a few days after a few days after you you didn't call to ask her about the wine no not yet but I was leading up to it your honor I was leading up to it and you know and obviously I was trying to make you know a casual conversation I was trying to be nice say hey and then bring you want to go out

on a different day cuz you wanted to hook up again I get that so what happens so I go ahead and I invite to dinner which I was going to bring up the you know the couch incident obviously I'm a gentleman I'm not going to goad and say Hey you know but why this big setup cuz she said no she didn't want to go out again exactly no so what ends up happening your honor is now at this point I feel she's responsible for paying for that so oh now you bring it up well we

brought it up at the same time did you say no when he asked you to go out again miss amender absolutely I was not interested on following up on that thing did he text you the day after and say hey we you spilled wine on my couch look at the pictures he tried to play it but I think that because I turned him down that now he's mad at it his butt hurt and he wants me to pay for something that if if it was to be the case that when we were messing around his

butt hurts yeah yeah he I mean he's mad he his ego got hurt because I don't want to his ego is bruised clear Lord I was about to say don't say another word I don't want to hear this testimony today okay we going to leave it at that I have some evidence here to Sarah okay clearly we won't be seeing each other again but I do need you to send me the $2,700 since you stained my couch and my rug you said what do these Stains have to do with me and you say Mr Martinez

don't play dumb you spill wine everywhere and then you said Miss arander well you didn't seem to think it was a big deal then I have no memory of doing that I don't owe you blank and you also submitted to the court Mr Martinez a or a receipt from luxury flooring and carpets that is correct for $17.60 and then also from JP designs is this a whole new couch or is this yes a whole new that's that that's simply for just to repair your honor and so to repair the couch to repair the couch yes

and to repair the carpet that red wine when did you get it repaired how many days after the date when when it got spilled I would say about 3 days and then uh after you asked her out on another date and she said no right so all right I've heard enough Mr Martinez this is what happened you went on the hookup app and y'all hooked up it was not something Miss arander wanted to do again she obviously didn't enjoy it and so when you asked her out again she said no and so therefore if she

would have said yes you probably weren't going to bring up the carpet because you were going to get what you wanted you did nothing to remedy the problem to say save your own rug or save your own sofa instead you finished up having a hookup with Miss armeries still waited more days didn't tell her anything about it asked her out again when you got declined then decided oh and by the way you owe me for my rug and you owe me for for my carpet that is creepy your honor absolutely in my defense you know

it took three days because I travel a lot I'm I'm a business owner you're honor so you just stay in there went away let say you big L women I've heard enough I've heard enough I've heard enough because guess what you there you have no defense when you invite people over it is reasonable to assume that something can happen and something spills on your furniture on your carpet somewhere that's reasonable you're not telling me that she got mad at you and took the bottle of wine and crashed it down on the floor on purpose or

did something malicious or negligent that she should be responsible in some way for this wine you have not proven that today the only thing you've proven is you asked her out again she said no then you brought up the wine and that's being a creep your honor she's clearly at the end of the day at the end of the day the next time and this is a lesson I had to learn light Furniture light carpet light color wine you let the wine sit in there for so long it probably damaged these pieces of furniture and

the floor in ways it did not have to if you would have just done something to remedy it in this Court's opinion you did not do what you were supposed to do it's not miss Armand's fault judgment for the defendant court is adjourned all right judge lake has ruled in favor of the defendant the plaintiff's case is dismissed you got too much M you go buy another one and good luck cuz now every woman is going to know how pathetic you are one brain cell man or every woman hands think that would be enough Follow

Me Oh Lord coming up Miss lton says she thought she was your daughter's only godmother but she says your daughter has another godmother as well is that true so is this about the money or is about no this is about you answering the question I just asked you're watching we the people with judge Lauren Lake Carol lton claims she gave her friend money for her daughter because she thought she was the child's only godmother Mona sad says there's no reason her daughter can't have two godmothers so she's keeping the cash good day everyone this is

the case of lton versus sad miss lton you are suing Miss sad for $1,350 for summer camp fees you say you paid under false pretense is that correct yes and missad you say you don't owe the plaint of anything and she's being unreasonable absolutely AR all right take me back to how this all started I had received an email from Mona asking for The Godfather Greg and for myself to pay half of her daughter's summer astronaut Camp so you're her daughter's godmother yes all right and how long have you all known each other we've known

each other for about 10 years all right so you've been friends or are you family members we're friends continue I found out about 6 months ago that supposedly she has another godmother and I feel like I've been lied to I feel betrayed and hurt because I had no idea about this other woman being your godmother as I've been the one paying for everything I have receipts invoices of everything I've wait a minute now you a godmother you not the mama why are you paying for everything well she had lost her job at one point so

I was giving her money for that so miss sad I want to ask you this pleas ma'am Miss lton says she thought she was your daughter's only godmother but she says your daughter has another godmother as well is that true so is this about the money or is about no this is about you answering the question I just asked coming up giving and giving and giving you can told me that you don't have to take me to court and and and put us in that situation well she lied from the start you're watching we the

people with judge Lauren Lake we're back with a dispute between Carol lton and her former friend Mona sad over too many godmothers are you in relationship with one Godmother and then your child also has another godmother she always had two all right so she always has two yes did each godmother know that the other one existed I thought they did I mean I never even I didn't even give it how would you think they did you would have to know that well well she met her in the baby shower and she asked her why wouldn't

she consult the babyer threw for her when I found out she was pregnant she was Choice nobody asked you to still interrupting but but you were not made aware that she was a godmother no all right so missad I want to understand from you how much did the other godmother contribute to your daughter's upbringing she buys her stuff she takes her out you know they go places she takes her to Disneyland I mean she is a mother to her so I I mean again I'm a little bit confused because well that's what I do no

no no is there a rule that says she can't have two godmothers there's not a rule my son has four godmothers thank you honor here we go four but I'm also a believer that godmothers don't raise children none of his godmothers fund anything about his life activities nor are they ever expected to so this is where I'm at with this why is it after all the things you've done all of these years why Sue over this 1350 what is that about it's just gotten to the point that I think she needs to step up as

a mother and be there for her kid and be able to financially support her after losing my job I cut her off because everything I was shocked I was honestly hurt and I love her like she's my own child you're still but it's now to the point am tired of giving and giving and giving you can have told me that you don't have to take me to court and and and put us in that situation well she lied from the start judge lakes's verdict When We the People returns you're watching we the people with judge

Lauren Lake you do feel taken advantage of and to be very clear if I was in your position I would feel taken advantage of but I also would never cut all those checks however miss lton when you give a gift right which is basically what this is I don't think she had you giving these things under false pretenses because the pretense was you're her godmother can you do this and you know what it's up to you to set boundaries and just say no I can't because ultimately Miss sad didn't go to astronaut Camp my goddaughter

did yes your goddaughter stop talking miss when I'm actually making a point that benefits you it's over and done with the baby went to the camp you spent way too much money up to this date where from here on out missad and her husband takes care of their own child and you be the Godmother and if she ever comes to you and needs something that's a private relationship you have with the child I hope you all work this out as friends because ultimately you are the child's godmother even if you're one of two she expects

you to be a part of her Village and don't let this silly disagreement ruin that okay judgement for the defendant court is adjourned all right judge lake has ruled in favor of the defendant the plaintiff's case is dismissed told me the truth from the start I N would have been a problem I didn't lie to you if you just listen to me we could have worked it out families don't go to court families talk and work things out I was tired of talking and not getting an answer [Music] [Music] this has been a production of
