This is one of the first cases where I said out loud, "If you'd just shut the hell up and let her speak!" - JM likes hearing herself talk way too much. It sounded like the Plaintiff was trying to explain she gave them authorization to run the background check in September, but JM kept interrupting her. Then she let the Defendant speak without interruption and he ended up saying just that, but they didn't have her IDs to run it. They should have gotten everything they needed from the get-go and she could have known long before October that she wasn't getting the job.
Yeah that’s this judge! She expects litigants to answer her immediately, but once they start, she will interrupt them as much as she wants, but will shut anyone down that tries to interrupt her!! SMH!!
@@righttoouropinionthanks4710 yes it gets incredibly annoying. She does it a lot but this case in particular was hard to watch. I understand interrupting when they aren't actually answering her question but the Plaintiff was trying to answer. I honestly think that JM was pissed off because her lawsuit was for 10k. Not saying she would have won, but if she sued for
This happens all the time. Every job that I've had, they will extend a job offer and state that it is contingent on a background check. Once the background check comes through, you start work. This lady was looking for a cash grab and nothing more.
Thank you. These people in the comments are just ridiculous to think that she deserves to be paid. If that was the case, I would sue and so would the millions of people that get rejected from a job offer. Get the heck out of here.
I love the judge but she really kept asking her a question and then not letting her get out more than a few words and then cutting her off, she may be saying nonsense but that was obnoxious
I hate when people say this stupid comment, the judge literally asked the plaintiff time and time how she feels the defendant did something wrong and the plaintiff uses the same excuse that doesn’t even make any sense so why would the judge let her finish the sentence if shes just repeating her self and saying gibberish…
@williewarner6465 well, guess we disagree. If she already knew what she was going to say and she wasn't going to let her talk, then it's stupid to keep asking. This is how some people speak to their kids, hopefully not you though 👍🏻 Maybe I think your comment is stupid, I'm not the only one who noticed 😉 If someone thinks interrupting was not excessive in this particular case then they likely interrupt people constantly. Glad we can all have our opinions.
I had a written job offer extended, and I signed the offer. They did the background check and I went and did the drug test. All results were back and I got copies of the drug test results and the background check. 2 weeks after signing the job offer I was told they could not hire me. I was so upset I couldn't believe it. They had all of that information, I signed an offer and then for that to happen was just crushing. I did not feel it was fair but I did understand. It was due to my credit. If you are lucky enough to live in a state where they cannot withhold a job from you because of your credit, then you are lucky. I feel it's not fair that companies will not hire you with less than perfect credit. I mean I understand their position but it still is not fair. Things happen sometimes. ALso, I've heard the judge say if they have bad credit it means they don't pay their bills and this absolutely not always true. I have a low credit score because I have a lot of credit cards but I always pay my payments, never late and never miss a payment, so that statement that they don't pay their bills is false.
The Plaintiff remained poised and respectful even after the Judge repeatedly cut her off and was a bit rude. Even though the Plaintiff's case didn't have much merit, I appreciate her conduct in the courtroom.
Don't think the Defendant broke any laws, but this is definitely unprofessional practice. They should learn from this and conduct themselves better. Maybe instruct Sally to watch her rhetoric.
@@kinghutt79How is it unprofessional? Most companies go through the interview process and then do a background check before hiring. The plaintiff is a scammer.
@@oldageisdumbNo the office workers started to take her through the hiring process telling her basically she was hired. They shouldn't have brought her back to the office for a walk through until the back ground check was completed. The office staff were wrong for doing that. That was unprofessional. How is the girl a scammer? She wasn't given a chance to dispute wether the information on the back ground check was accurate or not. She applied for a job that she needed to help her pay for her debt. How is that scamming. People are living pay check to pay check. You don't know what she may have gone through to end up like that. So don't judge 🤔
@@valariehunter5389 She’s scamming by trying to get $10k from a company for an absolute BS reason. Companies do that all the time and it’s not u professional. She had absolutely NO GROUNDS to sue them and she tried to hustle $10k. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that an offer is contingent on the results of the background check. If you don’t understand that, that tells me something about your brain cells. And they have the right to not hire her for any reason, so no, she doesn’t get to dispute it. She had horrible credit, it was plain as day. Come on…you can’t really be sticking up for this scammer?
I had a friend that had a job lined up, they said he was hired but their waiting on the back ground to be completed. It took about a week and a half. They didnt like he had a misdemeanor from 5 years ago, so they recended their offer. Happens all the time. Though it sucks, the defendants didnt do anything illegal. She should have asked them what would disqualify her as an applicant. That way she would have gotten a heads up knowing whats on her credit report.
She should already know what's on her credit report. 6 collections? How can you not know this? I believe she knew, but was "hoping" it would not be an issue (to them)
She knew what was on her credit report and that should have been her first and last indicator that she DID NOT have the job. Not paying your bills will lose you a job every single time.
@@lucky1uShe didn't scam anyone. The woman applied for a job. So she has bad credit. She probably needed a better job than what she previously had. People make mistakes when they're young trying to navigate life.🤔
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the judge in such a mood with a pleasant plaintiff, I think it’s the fact that it was for 10k instead of a nominal fee for “inconvenience”.
She just never lets people finish a sentence after she's just asked them a question. I'm finding her infuriating to watch, much less to listen to these days. Now I know why her days were numbered.
The plaintiff is full of crap. She's just wasting everyone's time. She can't even pass a background check. They definitely couldn't hire her to be involved in managing an entire apartment building.
Wow the judge was extra rude to the plaintiff. Why bother asking questions, if you will just cut the litigant off mid sentence and In most of the time before she even spoke a word. 😅
@@yahira6928yes we do, because this WOMAN… was trying to cheat the system in getting 10K when she was wrong… surely that would warrant being rude to or are you slow?
This was a ridiculous lawsuit. She thought she could scare them into hiring her or getting a payout because they had the audacity to not hire her. It was her BAD credit. It was hey questionable background check.
@shandranewell2837 No they didn't 😂 They hadn't even completed the background check yet. And her being hired was CONTINGENT on the background check! Which most all employers do. If you truly believe that she was hired then I have a bridge to sell you.
Even though I completely agree with the verdict and think the plaintiff had no case, Judge Milian would NOT stop interrupting her. Take a shot of tequila for everytime Milian cut her off mid sentence and you'll have cirrhosis within the hour. Not that the plaintiff woulda saved her case by talking more but still...she could hardly get more than 7 words out at a time
Yes, because the plaintiff was not answering the simple question "What did they do wrong?" She kept saying "I feel like they should have done this..." "I feel like they should have done that...." "The background check was supposed to take less time..." Well that doesn't actually answer the question "What did they do wrong?"
I see what you mean, but in a real court the judge would have never heard the case to begin with. The fact that she knew they were going to run a credit check makes this a completely frivolous law suit. JM only heard this case for the entertainment value. This would have been a 2 second case on Judge Judy.
The company dodged a bullet not hiring her the plaintiff is more of a liability than a asset suing for 10k just for not being hired imagine if she got offended or something and retaliated as an employee yikes
And once she was living there, she could refuse to do any work and refuse to pay anything, and it would take months of headache and lots of money to legally evict her....and I'm betting she knows this very well. Just like she knows very well that six collection agencies are after her for her bad debts. They totally dodged a bullet. She's just angry because she was so close to a successful scam, and they stopped her in her tracks.
My Guess is that she was running from a dog she had tied in her last apartment, why was she so quick to give it up before her new job & apartment were in place ?
It's hard to believe how stupid the 'average man on the street' answers are when questioned by Harvey. Until you have a total meeting of the minds, their is no work agreement. If you aren't covered by a union contract or a signed business contract, you can be let go at any time for any or no reason in every state because you are an 'at will' employee.
that was evident when 👩🏻⚖️ @6:58 “I like you to tell me EXACTLY what was on the background check…..” The look on the plaintiff’s face = priceless. Kudos to the defendant because you can tell he was only gonna summarize without embarrassing the plaintiff and you can even hear it in his nervous voice when he said “uhh exactly, is that ok??” 👩🏻⚖️ gave zero F’s and was definitely calling the plaintiff out 😂💀
Where did you get the impression that she was evicted?? She said that she told the place that she was living at, that she would be out of there on the first. The same day she was supposed to move into this new apartment for this job but she found out the night before that she wasn't approved. Obviously, the place that she was currently renting, already found a new tenant by then. So she lost the apartment she had because they can't let her stay with the new tenants coming in. I guess one could argue that she may have been in the process of being evicted while she was trying to get this job with a new apartment and the dates just happened to have lined up coincidentally. But, there's no actual evidence to make that claim, other than a hypothetical theory that it's technically possible. Obviously, she could be lying about her situation but again, there's no proof to the contrary. Also, the explanation that she gave does make sense logically. So if I'm missing something here, please let me know.
They do that to get straight fax which she wasn’t answering. Plus they have to interrupt multiple times to find out where the lies are cause. Would you believe that people lie when they’re in court?😮
What are you babbling about??? The plaintiff had a terrible background check that disqualified her from the position. Instead of wasting the courts time she should pay her bills and stop being a cry baby victim looking for free money.
@@richarddawson5836 she does interupt the litigants A LOT! But in this case, the plaintiff's case is outragous! I 100% agree with you on that! But the judge has an annoying habit of not letting litigants finish their sentence 😅
its a tactic used to make you frustrated, usually most people will sigh loud and roll thier eyes, and throw a fit, and say its not fair... but its more psychological to see how you compose yourself
America has a 400 year bill they have yet to pay to Black people. Its time for them to write that check. Your response is digusting. You don't know her situation. Mighty odd that they tell her she had the job before the background check came back. You need to weigh your words because you never know what tomorrow may bring.
The corporate job that I accepted, gave me my offer letter first and then did my background check so it is very possible that they would extend an offer and you accept, and they disqualify you based off of your background check in references
One thing that I'll say about this case is perhaps if a tenancy is involved, they should give more time between the background check and hire/move-in date. Moving out of one place requires notice and having a move-in date that quickly for a job that's not fully secured is probably not a great idea. They have a legal notice requirement for their tenants, so they should encourage their staff to follow that as well
Oh, Judge Milan! Can she answer the questions you're asking??? I wonder if she ever watches these and realizes how snippy and rude she's being by asking multiple questions and then continually interrupting her... I love Judge Milan, but this was a lot!
@@Savvy-v8z Are you out of your mind that women never shuts up...she does more talking than the plaintiff and the defendant combined...... she is literally arguing their case for them and being the judge

Almost all businesses do this, basically a "Yeah, we love you, we just have to do a couple of more things for this to be finalized but everything looks like it should be good to go, just keep an eye out for a phone call once the background check comes in." In this case, she wasn't an employee. She didn't have any reason to believe that she was truly an employee.
the plaintiff actually has a point… they shouldn’t have been showing her a unit, picking out paint colors & telling her to come get keys before the background check comes back. for example, no job is gonna tell you to come take your badge your picture & pick up keys BEFORE the background checks comes back. in this case, the plaintiff has point not a $10,000 point but i get where she’s coming from.
Be professional: Promise NOTHING until all T's are crossed & all I's are dotted. Plaintiff is a very intelligent, well spoken lady who knows something could work against her re her credit background.
Sometimes it shows she is a lawyer and not a true judge. She likes to talk too much herself, instead of letting other explain. She gave the woman not enough room to explain as everytime she cut her off. Very rude.
I understand your point. The issue is as a litigant, especially the plaintiff, the judge gives you to explain why you are here and why the defendant is wrong. What actually happens is, the litigants want to counter and offer new information after the judge has given them the chance to explain the issue. She cuts them off because otherwise she would be there all day.
At about 10:25 ish til the end the Judge asked about 100 questions and never took a breath to allow the lady to answer at all. She is rude AF. The one time a litigant would've been right to say she didn't let me talk and they didn't 🙄
I’m so happy that Judge Milian explained that she researches the law in cases before hand, because people in the comments and a lot times litigants are arm chair attorneys.
So you actually need her to explain that to you? Obviously - she is an attorney and a former practicing judge and has a law degree. Although laws vary from state to state, the law degree is not specifically tailored for each state. But the concepts are similar. The specifics, such as in this case, are easily researched by any reasonably competent attorney. So of course any TV court show is going to have a “judge” that actually understands the law. And of course all litigants are “arm chair attorneys”. This is Small Claims Court, where no attorneys are required. That means that litigants are almost always representing themselves (attorneys are not required but are allowed). Therefore most are arm chair attorneys.
I love Judge Milian and she's usually logical and fair how she judges but this wasn't a good look for her. It seems like she was taking it personally and I didn't like that.
@@robbiecopeland9039ok maybe the amount was excessive but if you can't or won't realize the point of why she sued is like wow, is all I can really say. I see EXACTLY why she did what she did.
@@robbiecopeland9039 EXACTLY. the lady is insane to think they wouldn't check her background, it's so EASY these days to check on people's backgrounds.
I don't think the Plaintiff understood that she wasn't hired or wasn't an employee so the CA law that she cited didn't apply to her. It was a dirty deal though that the woman that took her through the apartment made it sound like she did in fact already have the job. Maybe in the future they should do the background check FIRST.
The office should have a paper trail, checklist and preapproval process written out because we all know Sally and Susie running that mouth full of incorrect information 😂😂😂
I think she was given the right information from the start and he kept moving the goalpost to put someone he wanted in the job, why else would he not bring one of them in to back him up?

Freelance work, horrible credit, zero signed lease nor employment offer, but they owe you $10,000? I wonder how many other failed lawsuit attempts she’s had! AND she already knew her background! Why the surprise??
She seems really inexperienced. Even in my early twenties I was aware that background checks are outsourced and the time frame is estimated. And if you haven't signed any paperwork, you're not hired, nor do you have a lease. She seems really nice so I feel bad for her.
That's uh bit ofa "reach"....they used tha credit check asa way 2 disqualify her. Tha background check didn't show felonies, or violent crimes. That should've been tha sh1t 2 disqualify her....not poor phukkn credit.
@@greggpoppabich9281she was going to be HANDLING TENANTS MONEY and was going to be a potential TENANT herself, of course credit mattered. It typically does.
JM needed to take a chill pill on this one. Why would you ask the plaintiff the same dang questions if you won’t allow her to speak? Is she the acting judge or counsel to the defendant?
Judge is shutting it down because the concept of suing for ten grand for something like this is absurd. If it was a few grand to cover legit damages because they misled her then that may have been a different story. She wasn’t an employee. This was a waste of time.
When they did that to you did they admit that they were abusing their employees and paying them so severely low that it was laughable actually not even laughable it was pretty pathetic
They did a credit score check for a job (that’s not a teller or armed guard for Wells Fargo, etc)?!?! I’m my state that’s all you can check it for is one of those jobs… And screw them, you made out..
The plaintiff is a scam artist. She knew, she wasn't going to pass a background check. The "defendant" is extremely lucky. If the plaintiff has caused, this many problems (not being hired). Can you imagine the amount of Bull S*"*, she would've pulled ,if they would've hired her and allowed her to move into the apartment ? She would've become a nightmare.
I felt the Judge was rude to her, she was well spoken and respectful, I think there is a case for one month rent because she already gave notice to the place she was living in.
She jumped the gun, you never let go of a place if you don't have another one lined up. It's a shame, I'm sure she was excited, but she jumped the gun.
There is NO case for 1 month rent because SHE gave her consent to a background check. Further, it was SHE who "assumed" she would get the job, NOT them. They have NO duty to her at all because she was NOT an employee of theirs. Hence, they have ZERO responsibility toward her
She needs to get a job and pay the defendant and the court for a frivolous lawsuit! No personal accountability or self-awareness of any kind of Plaintiff! SMH
The absolute gall of this woman. Instead of being embarrassed in apologetic that her past caught up to her. With the background check, she is outraged that they Don't want her, It feels entitled to a windfall profit.
No it doesn’t. She felt that she was misled. They had what they needed at the initial interview. She did a second interview before coming in to see the apartment.
@@akimat418 As judge Judy would say, her feelings are irrelevant… the man clearly told her that her hiring was Contingent upon a clean background check, and if she thought that somehow her history was going to magically disappear, she was wrong.
@@akimat418she could have had a third and fourth interview but I guess she hasn't had enough jobs to know that if they're not happy with the background check they're not going to officially extend an offer.
Wether it was a money grab or not you still want to be heard. You would feel the same way if someone basically said you were hired and started walking you through the intake process.🤔
This actually annoyed me.. judge being super rude, asking these rhetorical questions that she clearly knew the answer to just to interrupt her, and the plaintiff low key blew her life up for this Job opportunity that I’m convinced they made her think she had
This is the first time I’ve disagreed with the judge. They said she was hired. She was under the impression that they already received the background report BEFORE saying she was hired.
Saying you're hired and extending an offer are 2 very different things. If you don't believe so, I would advise you to not do anything before the company that says "you're hired" extends you a written offer, not verbally.!
@@marysanders3380you’re correct however, the position she was applying for requires a credit check with good standing. Would you hire a CFO with 2 bankruptcy filings for to run the finances for your business? I think not. Well, you could be you would be a fool.
@@metorphoric You can spin the narrative all you want. If the background check was that important based on the job; that should have been discussed foremost in the interview process. No you hired or showing no apartments directly after an interview. The only problem the plaintiff had was it wasn't in writing that the job was hers. If it was in writing, it would have been a slam dunk for the Plaintiff. But my point is Judge Milan mind was already made up before any testimony. Even the judge said she read the case before presiding over it. Judge Milan can't stand Black people taking advantage of the system more than any other race. That's the point I'm making!🙄
I’ve had two government employers that did background checks. It both cases, on the first day of the job I was fingerprinted and signed an authorization for the background check. It was made clear that my continued employment was contingent on passing the background checks. If this employer made any mistakes it was not making it clear to the applicant that passing the check was a requirement of the job.
What you are talking about is incredibly different than this People’s Court case. Government background checks are way more intense than a standard credit check.
@@synnove1046 Understood. Still, the point applies that the employer needs to make it clear that the position is contingent on passing the background check.
What makes her a scammer? She simply doesn’t understand that her offer was contingent on a background check and it doesn’t matter that they waited until the last minute.
The plaintiff is most definitely a different kind of SPECIAL. Although I love Judge Milan, she has a bad habit of asking questions, then interrupting the litigant after the litigant begins to answer.
The problem is that good practice is running a background check before an offer of employment is made to an applicant. The anticipation of a job would have made her stop searching for a job. While she was reaching suing for $10k, it is ridiculous. Seeing she did not get a letter. JM speaking over litigants can be very disturbing.
Their mistake: every time they spoke with her about the position they should have REPEATABLY reminded her that hiring is based on passing the background check. They also should have put it writing on EVERY document application she filled out when applying for the job and have her sign it. I think they "assumed" the background check was just a formality (she presents herself well) and that there would be no problem. However, 6 COLLECTIONS speaks VOLUMES
The judge is very rude in the sense that she will not allow the plaintiff to make her case, present testimony, or even allow the plaintiff to complete a sentence while she is speaking.
The judge needs to be empathic- she forgets people go through life. She should have allowed her to say what happened to her that allowed her credit to go unpaid
It's also irrelevant. Being a Black gay man, I've been unemployed for years, and post coronavirus/pandemic, I cannot find a job; and I go on interviews, and I'm never hired. So now I'm doing gigs/freelance/event staff food/catering work at conventions and festivals etc.), and I'll be honest, my background isn't squeaky clean no, but that's my past, and this is now. I'm a hard worker, but I face discrimination on interviews/background checks etc. Unfair. Background checks are supposed to really double check the person isn't using a false identity. That's it. But it seems they are 99 percent of the time, used to unfairly judge people on occurrences in peoples past which are nobody's business unless it's some high profile CIA job. Not to work at a call center, supermarket, restaurant or hotel, or in this case a leasing manager job etc. (whether stuff on the background check, were warranted or warranted, or a parking ticket they never knew they had etc. or if what comes up on the background check is that persons fault or not). Hence why a lot of people with haphazard backgrounds work under the table and/or are self contractors. I feel for Plaintiff. If she just went for an interview and "We'll call you", and background check pulled up her past, and they declined her job offer, okay. But clearly they basically on-boarded her onto the team, and did this Smh. I feel if she sued for a smaller amount (hell no not 10k like 500 bucks for inconvenience, and if she had proof Sandy and Sally/his employees treated her like that) she could have won this case.
What? “JJ” is on a different show. It seems obvious to me that judges on TV court shows do NOT read in depth about their cases. I’m not accusing them of any wrong-doing I’m just saying it does not seem like any more than a normal once-over. I notice them miss things often. But even if a judge reads every single document very closely, and does great research, how do you think that research guarantees that they’ll discover “false information?” They can’t read minds nor do they have superpowers. Litigants have to bring evidence and/or witnesses in order to prove or dis-prove any information that they provide.
Some people have no shame like the plaintiff. Do you think coming on tv and showing you can’t pay your bills and are happy to sue unjustly is going to help You find your next job. 😂😂😂. Have some shame.
I don’t know how old this young lady is but I hope that she learned a valuable lesson. Until an employer gives an offer in writing, you do not have the job which means do not give your current job notice that you’re leaving, do not relocate, don’t think you have the job, don’t do anything!! Forget state laws. It’s common sense. lastly, JM was so annoying in this case with the amount of times she asked the plaintiff a question and did not allow her to answer 🙄
This episode got everyone thinking the company was LUCKY not to hire this lawsuit fishing scammer. She is UNEMPLOYABLE and good to expose hee on national TV and on the internet. I'm sure she will have worse credit today than when they did a background check on her then.
The judge asked questions but she does not allow the plaintiffs to answer the questions she needs to know when to shut up so she can listen what happened
So, why would they tell her to come in November 1 to pick up the keys if the background check wasn't completed? I do believe that they told her she was hired.
I am assuming she was told contingent upon the background check, you can pick up your keys on xxx date. I would have liked to know if a written job offer as provider. Should have clear language regarding the terms of employment.
She pretty much filed a fake lawsuit to get 10k. If that were the case, everyone would file a lawsuit and just to get free money of however much they want😂🤷
I work in HR and I loved this case! Agree with the ruling. I’ve had background checks come back a day before the contingent start date so it does happen that you may have very little time to work with but in those cases, I would call the potential hire and let them know is they their start date will be delayed. The plaintiff had a loose reading of the FCRA. Great case!
That is what I'm thinking... why did they not push the start date back since they were waiting on the background. Like always... communication is key. But this young lady could have called as well on the status of the background of the company wasn't communicating before she gave notice to her apartment
Agreed what made this one "messy" was the apartment/living space, which adds an unpleasant wrinkle. But I agree, I recall times where BGCs didn't come back until AFTER a person has started and they get that "tap" on the shoulder 🤔 to un-ass a cubicle.😮

@@paultin3302 She was fully aware they were doing a background check. Shes a grown ass women, she should know when they ask to do one, the job is contingent on it.

JM saw through. Those who dont understand "why she was interupting" dont understand law. The plantiff is also overconfident and snide. JM saw it. The plantiff should have done nothing until CONTRACTS were signed and she was moved in. never count on anything until it happens. The Plantiff jumped the gun.
Then don’t ask a question. Yes the girl was absolutely in the wrong but in that case, only talk to the defendant. Why ask the girl a question then before she can even open her mouth ask 4 more questions then never let her answer any? This was excessive regardless of the fact that the woman should have never brought her case. It’s her job to ask questions and at least hear a word or two of the answer and I could count 6 times she asked separate questions before the plaintiff was able to open her mouth to answer any. Excessive.
This happened all the time at a car rental agency I worked out. Potential employees would come in all the time, do well in the interview and state they had a clean driving record. Thirty minutes later here comes the State driving report and there would be like ten DUI's, driving without a license, etc. and they couldn't be hired. Then they'd be all mad like, "That was last year. I've only had two speeding tickets this year since January and other than that I've got a clean record". Some people!
I been saying that Judge Malin is racist for decades. When I saw how Judge Malin looked at the Plaintiff from the beginning; I knew Judge Malin already had her mind made up. That's why the Judge was asking questions & cutting the the plaintiff off before the Plaintiff could respond. I've been watching People's Court since it's debut.
I'm sorry but Judge Milian pissed me off on this one she did not have to act hateful to the plaintiff that woman was hurt she didn't get that job and instead of Judge encouraging her she stumped her down further. I know how it feels because I been unemployed for 3 years now and i have a good background, but no one will give me a chance. After I prayed about it I stopped looking for jobs permanently and now God blesses me with money every day and I don't have to work or have doors slammed in my face on purpose anymore. What others won't give you God WILL! I'm happy and living a good life now and I hope that lady found a great job after this or was blessed with money unexpectedly.
The defendant is the type of litigant who usually wins in cases. They first listen and wait for the other side to plea their case without interruption (which so many people do whether their right or wrong). This way it allows them to know what’s being said wrongly and what is correct. Then when it’s their turn, they have a clear counter (with evidence) to prove their case which he did by taking her statements and showing what he did to disprove what she said. This is a case and point @11:50 when he shows proof to counter the plaintiff’s FCRA (Federal Trade Commission statement which is part of why she’s asking for $5K). In my opinion, he seems like a fair employer and even stated that she had a good interview but changed his mind once her background check showed many issues. She was applying for a position that kept other people’s affairs in order yet she couldn’t keep her own in order. I think his actions were justified which is why he’s in the position he’s in for hiring others….
I know someone who was hired before the drug test. When the drug test came back positive they were fired. Employers need to wait until drug tests and background checks are completed BEFORE offering or hiring people for a position.
Plaintiff didn’t have a legal case but the judge drove me crazy with her incessant interruptions on this one
I get annoyed as well, she always interrupts the plaintiffs and defendants in every case. She needs to bite her tongue. That's arbitration for you.
She does that so often smh
This is one of the first cases where I said out loud, "If you'd just shut the hell up and let her speak!" - JM likes hearing herself talk way too much. It sounded like the Plaintiff was trying to explain she gave them authorization to run the background check in September, but JM kept interrupting her. Then she let the Defendant speak without interruption and he ended up saying just that, but they didn't have her IDs to run it. They should have gotten everything they needed from the get-go and she could have known long before October that she wasn't getting the job.
Yeah that’s this judge! She expects litigants to answer her immediately, but once they start, she will interrupt them as much as she wants, but will shut anyone down that tries to interrupt her!! SMH!!
@@righttoouropinionthanks4710 yes it gets incredibly annoying. She does it a lot but this case in particular was hard to watch. I understand interrupting when they aren't actually answering her question but the Plaintiff was trying to answer. I honestly think that JM was pissed off because her lawsuit was for 10k. Not saying she would have won, but if she sued for
This happens all the time. Every job that I've had, they will extend a job offer and state that it is contingent on a background check. Once the background check comes through, you start work.
This lady was looking for a cash grab and nothing more.
Thank you. These people in the comments are just ridiculous to think that she deserves to be paid. If that was the case, I would sue and so would the millions of people that get rejected from a job offer. Get the heck out of here.
👩🏻⚖️: “Did you have a job?”
Defendant: “freelance” = NO JOB
@@akairiyahiko2602I’m surprised she didn’t sue the credit companies that are trying to collect on her 😂
Yup! I've even started jobs contingent upon my drug test results. If your background is suspect, you know you're on borrowed time Lol
The plaintiff was never hired. This lawsuit was completely ridiculous.
I feel like I'm not hired until i get my first paycheck 😂
ikr
Asf😂😂😂
So if you don’t get that paycheck you’ll just consider the prior week or two to be volunteer work??
@synnove1046 yes I've worked too many temp jobs in my past
Lol
I love the judge but she really kept asking her a question and then not letting her get out more than a few words and then cutting her off, she may be saying nonsense but that was obnoxious
She does that when she already knows the answer or the answer she’s come to.. and I’m like then WHY ASK
U took the words right out of my mouth. I love Milian too but sheesh!. She couldn't finish one sentence. On the other hand 10k for this is ridiculous
Facts! That was very obnoxious.
I hate when people say this stupid comment, the judge literally asked the plaintiff time and time how she feels the defendant did something wrong and the plaintiff uses the same excuse that doesn’t even make any sense so why would the judge let her finish the sentence if shes just repeating her self and saying gibberish…
@williewarner6465 well, guess we disagree. If she already knew what she was going to say and she wasn't going to let her talk, then it's stupid to keep asking. This is how some people speak to their kids, hopefully not you though 👍🏻 Maybe I think your comment is stupid, I'm not the only one who noticed 😉 If someone thinks interrupting was not excessive in this particular case then they likely interrupt people constantly. Glad we can all have our opinions.
She's so well informed about laws, but she agreed to leave her old place before signing a new lease? How does that make sense????!
She was getting evicted 😂😂😂
I live in California and I have never assumed I had a job until it was in writing with a start date.
I had a written job offer extended, and I signed the offer. They did the background check and I went and did the drug test. All results were back and I got copies of the drug test results and the background check. 2 weeks after signing the job offer I was told they could not hire me. I was so upset I couldn't believe it. They had all of that information, I signed an offer and then for that to happen was just crushing. I did not feel it was fair but I did understand. It was due to my credit. If you are lucky enough to live in a state where they cannot withhold a job from you because of your credit, then you are lucky. I feel it's not fair that companies will not hire you with less than perfect credit. I mean I understand their position but it still is not fair. Things happen sometimes. ALso, I've heard the judge say if they have bad credit it means they don't pay their bills and this absolutely not always true. I have a low credit score because I have a lot of credit cards but I always pay my payments, never late and never miss a payment, so that statement that they don't pay their bills is false.
They could always back out of it… or could close down/ bankrupt!
Exactly!🤦🏾♀️
That was risky to give up her place without an official offer in writing. I would’ve told them that I’ll accept the job but move in next month.
You think someone with bad credit was paying her rent on time or another non payment would hurt her already bad credit?
@jjman533 I was talking about her having a place to live, not her credit. But yeah, I do know people with bad credit who pay their rent on time.
In california you give 30 days or more notice... so either she lied or she was kicked out already.
Damn she got on my nerves
@@jjman533my credit isn't good thanks to medical bills but I've NEVER been late on my rent. Not once.
The Plaintiff remained poised and respectful even after the Judge repeatedly cut her off and was a bit rude. Even though the Plaintiff's case didn't have much merit, I appreciate her conduct in the courtroom.
Don't think the Defendant broke any laws, but this is definitely unprofessional practice. They should learn from this and conduct themselves better. Maybe instruct Sally to watch her rhetoric.
@@kinghutt79How is it unprofessional? Most companies go through the interview process and then do a background check before hiring. The plaintiff is a scammer.
Nice picture.
@@oldageisdumbNo the office workers started to take her through the hiring process telling her basically she was hired. They shouldn't have brought her back to the office for a walk through until the back ground check was completed. The office staff were wrong for doing that. That was unprofessional. How is the girl a scammer? She wasn't given a chance to dispute wether the information on the back ground check was accurate or not. She applied for a job that she needed to help her pay for her debt. How is that scamming. People are living pay check to pay check. You don't know what she may have gone through to end up like that. So don't judge 🤔
@@valariehunter5389 She’s scamming by trying to get $10k from a company for an absolute BS reason. Companies do that all the time and it’s not u professional. She had absolutely NO GROUNDS to sue them and she tried to hustle $10k. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that an offer is contingent on the results of the background check. If you don’t understand that, that tells me something about your brain cells. And they have the right to not hire her for any reason, so no, she doesn’t get to dispute it. She had horrible credit, it was plain as day. Come on…you can’t really be sticking up for this scammer?
I had a friend that had a job lined up, they said he was hired but their waiting on the back ground to be completed. It took about a week and a half. They didnt like he had a misdemeanor from 5 years ago, so they recended their offer. Happens all the time. Though it sucks, the defendants didnt do anything illegal. She should have asked them what would disqualify her as an applicant. That way she would have gotten a heads up knowing whats on her credit report.
You are correct, but better practice is completing the background check before an employer notifies the applicant of an offer of Employment
She should already know what's on her credit report. 6 collections? How can you not know this? I believe she knew, but was "hoping" it would not be an issue (to them)
She's such a scammer, those people are so lucky she didn't get in.
She knew what was on her credit report and that should have been her first and last indicator that she DID NOT have the job. Not paying your bills will lose you a job every single time.
@@lucky1uShe didn't scam anyone. The woman applied for a job. So she has bad credit. She probably needed a better job than what she previously had. People make mistakes when they're young trying to navigate life.🤔
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the judge in such a mood with a pleasant plaintiff, I think it’s the fact that it was for 10k instead of a nominal fee for “inconvenience”.
And it’s a disgraceful bogus ass lawsuit
She just never lets people finish a sentence after she's just asked them a question. I'm finding her infuriating to watch, much less to listen to these days. Now I know why her days were numbered.
@@SamuelGSherman She knew she would fail her background check.
The plaintiff is full of crap. She's just wasting everyone's time. She can't even pass a background check. They definitely couldn't hire her to be involved in managing an entire apartment building.
Pleasant? It was all a facade. You could see right through it at the end.
She never signed anything saying she was hired how do they owe her anything?
Wow the judge was extra rude to the plaintiff. Why bother asking questions, if you will just cut the litigant off mid sentence and In most of the time before she even spoke a word. 😅
Cause the plaintiff is a money hungry rat wasting her time
She is a racist.
We know why she was rude🤨
@@yahira6928yes we do, because this WOMAN… was trying to cheat the system in getting 10K when she was wrong… surely that would warrant being rude to or are you slow?

This was a ridiculous lawsuit. She thought she could scare them into hiring her or getting a payout because they had the audacity to not hire her. It was her BAD credit. It was hey questionable background check.
She is the true privileged.
Exactly. She was ridiculous.
@@shandranewell2837 The point is that they never hired her.
@@saramichele7366 YES THEY DID...
@shandranewell2837 No they didn't 😂 They hadn't even completed the background check yet. And her being hired was CONTINGENT on the background check! Which most all employers do. If you truly believe that she was hired then I have a bridge to sell you.
Even though I completely agree with the verdict and think the plaintiff had no case, Judge Milian would NOT stop interrupting her. Take a shot of tequila for everytime Milian cut her off mid sentence and you'll have cirrhosis within the hour. Not that the plaintiff woulda saved her case by talking more but still...she could hardly get more than 7 words out at a time
Yes, because the plaintiff was not answering the simple question "What did they do wrong?" She kept saying "I feel like they should have done this..." "I feel like they should have done that...." "The background check was supposed to take less time..." Well that doesn't actually answer the question "What did they do wrong?"
I see what you mean, but in a real court the judge would have never heard the case to begin with. The fact that she knew they were going to run a credit check makes this a completely frivolous law suit. JM only heard this case for the entertainment value. This would have been a 2 second case on Judge Judy.
The judge Judy show is also for entertainment so a 2 minute case wouldn't be very entertaining.@@allbullaside7778
Exactly!! She always asks a question and then cut people off!!
Crazy!!
She is horrible!! So sad!!!
The company dodged a bullet not hiring her the plaintiff is more of a liability than a asset suing for 10k just for not being hired imagine if she got offended or something and retaliated as an employee yikes
Right!
And once she was living there, she could refuse to do any work and refuse to pay anything, and it would take months of headache and lots of money to legally evict her....and I'm betting she knows this very well. Just like she knows very well that six collection agencies are after her for her bad debts.
They totally dodged a bullet. She's just angry because she was so close to a successful scam, and they stopped her in her tracks.
@@JamieM470 Exactly!
My Guess is that she was running from a dog she had tied in her last apartment, why was she so quick to give it up before her new job & apartment were in place ?
Wow good point 👉
Omg she is being so obnoxious today! Let the woman speak.
She's good at semantics 😂 cause when she was talking to Doug it sure sounded like she was being evicted from where she was currently living 😂
She was TOTALLY being evicted from where she was living. She’s a scammer.
It's hard to believe how stupid the 'average man on the street' answers are when questioned by Harvey. Until you have a total meeting of the minds, their is no work agreement. If you aren't covered by a union contract or a signed business contract, you can be let go at any time for any or no reason in every state because you are an 'at will' employee.
lol yeh. The look on the audience’s faces while she was telling the story was telling 🙄
that was evident when 👩🏻⚖️ @6:58 “I like you to tell me EXACTLY what was on the background check…..” The look on the plaintiff’s face = priceless. Kudos to the defendant because you can tell he was only gonna summarize without embarrassing the plaintiff and you can even hear it in his nervous voice when he said “uhh exactly, is that ok??” 👩🏻⚖️ gave zero F’s and was definitely calling the plaintiff out 😂💀
Where did you get the impression that she was evicted?? She said that she told the place that she was living at, that she would be out of there on the first. The same day she was supposed to move into this new apartment for this job but she found out the night before that she wasn't approved. Obviously, the place that she was currently renting, already found a new tenant by then. So she lost the apartment she had because they can't let her stay with the new tenants coming in. I guess one could argue that she may have been in the process of being evicted while she was trying to get this job with a new apartment and the dates just happened to have lined up coincidentally. But, there's no actual evidence to make that claim, other than a hypothetical theory that it's technically possible. Obviously, she could be lying about her situation but again, there's no proof to the contrary. Also, the explanation that she gave does make sense logically. So if I'm missing something here, please let me know.
Nothing is solidified until it’s in WRITING ✍🏼
The entire case I’m yelling “ DAMN LET HER TALK!” The judge would not let her answer her questions!!
Big Facts
She almost always does that... same with Judge Judy, who continues to say shhhhhh, wait a second, shoosh, shhh, shh 😅
They do that to get straight fax which she wasn’t answering. Plus they have to interrupt multiple times to find out where the lies are cause. Would you believe that people lie when they’re in court?😮
What are you babbling about??? The plaintiff had a terrible background check that disqualified her from the position. Instead of wasting the courts time she should pay her bills and stop being a cry baby victim looking for free money.

@@smoothlyabrasive9805how do you know she’s a foreigner?
America has a 400 year bill they have yet to pay to Black people. Its time for them to write that check. Your response is digusting. You don't know her situation. Mighty odd that they tell her she had the job before the background check came back. You need to weigh your words because you never know what tomorrow may bring.
The corporate job that I accepted, gave me my offer letter first and then did my background check so it is very possible that they would extend an offer and you accept, and they disqualify you based off of your background check in references
One thing that I'll say about this case is perhaps if a tenancy is involved, they should give more time between the background check and hire/move-in date. Moving out of one place requires notice and having a move-in date that quickly for a job that's not fully secured is probably not a great idea. They have a legal notice requirement for their tenants, so they should encourage their staff to follow that as well
Oh, Judge Milan! Can she answer the questions you're asking??? I wonder if she ever watches these and realizes how snippy and rude she's being by asking multiple questions and then continually interrupting her... I love Judge Milan, but this was a lot!

She had Ntn in writing, just word of you’re hired…..like why plan to move and you have no contract??
Almost all businesses do this, basically a "Yeah, we love you, we just have to do a couple of more things for this to be finalized but everything looks like it should be good to go, just keep an eye out for a phone call once the background check comes in."
In this case, she wasn't an employee. She didn't have any reason to believe that she was truly an employee.
the plaintiff actually has a point… they shouldn’t have been showing her a unit, picking out paint colors & telling her to come get keys before the background check comes back. for example, no job is gonna tell you to come take your badge your picture & pick up keys BEFORE the background checks comes back. in this case, the plaintiff has point not a $10,000 point but i get where she’s coming from.
Agreed, they knew they misled her which is why they conferenced called her

Plaintiff is a very intelligent, well spoken lady who knows something could work against her re her credit background.
Sometimes it shows she is a lawyer and not a true judge. She likes to talk too much herself, instead of letting other explain. She gave the woman not enough room to explain as everytime she cut her off. Very rude.
I understand your point. The issue is as a litigant, especially the plaintiff, the judge gives you to explain why you are here and why the defendant is wrong. What actually happens is, the litigants want to counter and offer new information after the judge has given them the chance to explain the issue. She cuts them off because otherwise she would be there all day.
Lol ever try to get your point across to a Latina? Not happening
Very rude
Yep. Sometimes it's hard to watch her. Talks too much.
She was a judge in Miami before People’s Court.
At about 10:25 ish til the end the Judge asked about 100 questions and never took a breath to allow the lady to answer at all. She is rude AF. The one time a litigant would've been right to say she didn't let me talk and they didn't 🙄
I’m so happy that Judge Milian explained that she researches the law in cases before hand, because people in the comments and a lot times litigants are arm chair attorneys.
She has the education but is literally doing what we are doing. 🙃
Aren't we all arm chair attorneys. Sometimes the judge misses. And sometimes they're biased.🥴
@@craZbeauTfulAre you kidding?!
So you actually need her to explain that to you? Obviously - she is an attorney and a former practicing judge and has a law degree. Although laws vary from state to state, the law degree is not specifically tailored for each state. But the concepts are similar. The specifics, such as in this case, are easily researched by any reasonably competent attorney. So of course any TV court show is going to have a “judge” that actually understands the law. And of course all litigants are “arm chair attorneys”. This is Small Claims Court, where no attorneys are required. That means that litigants are almost always representing themselves (attorneys are not required but are allowed). Therefore most are arm chair attorneys.
The judge AGGRAVATED me so much!!!!!! The way she was acting, you would’ve thought she was the one being sued 🙄
Because the lawsuit was dumb from the beginning. She wasn’t an employee yet, and someone with terrible credit is looking for $10,000

@@robbiecopeland9039 EXACTLY. the lady is insane to think they wouldn't check her background, it's so EASY these days to check on people's backgrounds.
I don't think the Plaintiff understood that she wasn't hired or wasn't an employee so the CA law that she cited didn't apply to her. It was a dirty deal though that the woman that took her through the apartment made it sound like she did in fact already have the job. Maybe in the future they should do the background check FIRST.
Alternatively, the woman could have just kept looking for another job instead of wasting time suing people.
They aren’t going to run a background check on potential employees that they don’t like
Right. Many people don't understand that. It's not her fault. It was dirty either way.
They wanted to hire her and were preparing for if they did hire her. They didn't know her credit was so bad because she never disclosed that.
The office should have a paper trail, checklist and preapproval process written out because we all know Sally and Susie running that mouth full of incorrect information 😂😂😂

JM needed to take a chill pill on this one. Why would you ask the plaintiff the same dang questions if you won’t allow her to speak? Is she the acting judge or counsel to the defendant?
Judge is shutting it down because the concept of suing for ten grand for something like this is absurd. If it was a few grand to cover legit damages because they misled her then that may have been a different story. She wasn’t an employee. This was a waste of time.
I got denied so many jobs bc of bad credit when I was in my 20s. Forever 21 told me no bc of my credit score 😂 I was floored. Now my score of 751!!!!
When they did that to you did they admit that they were abusing their employees and paying them so severely low that it was laughable actually not even laughable it was pretty pathetic
They did a credit score check for a job (that’s not a teller or armed guard for Wells Fargo, etc)?!?! I’m my state that’s all you can check it for is one of those jobs… And screw them, you made out..
The plaintiff is a scam artist. She knew, she wasn't going to pass a background check. The "defendant" is extremely lucky. If the plaintiff has caused, this many problems (not being hired). Can you imagine the amount of Bull S*"*, she would've pulled ,if they would've hired her and allowed her to move into the apartment ? She would've become a nightmare.
Talks well but is a grifter.
I felt the Judge was rude to her, she was well spoken and respectful, I think there is a case for one month rent because she already gave notice to the place she was living in.
She jumped the gun, you never let go of a place if you don't have another one lined up. It's a shame, I'm sure she was excited, but she jumped the gun.
It’s not his fault she jumped the gun and made a bad choice
There is NO case for 1 month rent because SHE gave her consent to a background check. Further, it was SHE who "assumed" she would get the job, NOT them. They have NO duty to her at all because she was NOT an employee of theirs. Hence, they have ZERO responsibility toward her
Milian can't STAND educated, well spoken Black people. Shes racist af...AND she's aging very badly😂😂😂😂😂
She needs to get a job and pay the defendant and the court for a frivolous lawsuit! No personal accountability or self-awareness of any kind of Plaintiff! SMH
The absolute gall of this woman. Instead of being embarrassed in apologetic that her past caught up to her. With the background check, she is outraged that they Don't want her, It feels entitled to a windfall profit.
No it doesn’t. She felt that she was misled. They had what they needed at the initial interview. She did a second interview before coming in to see the apartment.

This is the first time I’ve disagreed with the judge. They said she was hired. She was under the impression that they already received the background report BEFORE saying she was hired.
Saying you're hired and extending an offer are 2 very different things. If you don't believe so, I would advise you to not do anything before the company that says "you're hired" extends you a written offer, not verbally.!

If it was in writing, it would have been a slam dunk for the Plaintiff. But my point is Judge Milan mind was already made up before any testimony. Even the judge said she read the case before presiding over it. Judge Milan can't stand Black people taking advantage of the system more than any other race. That's the point I'm making!🙄
I’ve had two government employers that did background checks. It both cases, on the first day of the job I was fingerprinted and signed an authorization for the background check. It was made clear that my continued employment was contingent on passing the background checks. If this employer made any mistakes it was not making it clear to the applicant that passing the check was a requirement of the job.
What you are talking about is incredibly different than this People’s Court case. Government background checks are way more intense than a standard credit check.
@@synnove1046 Understood. Still, the point applies that the employer needs to make it clear that the position is contingent on passing the background check.
Pretty sure Sally and Sandy didn't even come close to emphasizing that point.
Without even seeing the video ... I'm thinking she's a scammer😂😂😂
She is a scammer
What makes her a scammer? She simply doesn’t understand that her offer was contingent on a background check and it doesn’t matter that they waited until the last minute.
@@fitnessfocusedshe knew a background check was happening. What did she think it was for?
So all you saw was the plantiffs skin color and you decided she MUST be a scammer?
Gotcha
@@forgetmeknotts3044 Your assuming that's dangerous.
The plaintiff is most definitely a different kind of SPECIAL.
Although I love Judge Milan, she has a bad habit of asking questions, then interrupting the litigant after the litigant begins to answer.
They dodged a bullet not hiring this lady! Imagine the lawsuit she would have thought up if they would have hired her. Money grab
The problem is that good practice is running a background check before an offer of employment is made to an applicant. The anticipation of a job would have made her stop searching for a job. While she was reaching suing for $10k, it is ridiculous. Seeing she did not get a letter. JM speaking over litigants can be very disturbing.
Their mistake: every time they spoke with her about the position they should have REPEATABLY reminded her that hiring is based on passing the background check. They also should have put it writing on EVERY document application she filled out when applying for the job and have her sign it. I think they "assumed" the background check was just a formality (she presents herself well) and that there would be no problem. However, 6 COLLECTIONS speaks VOLUMES
Yes. Repeatedly, reminding her. From the start 😮
Why won't the judge allow this woman to speak? She asks questions and never let's her respond and keeps talking over her.
The plantiff is delusional. JM tried different ways to get her to see it.
The judge is very rude in the sense that she will not allow the plaintiff to make her case, present testimony, or even allow the plaintiff to complete a sentence while she is speaking.
I wouldnt trust her either taking rent payments and having collections and bad credit
I just think she's a con artist. I really do.
very privileged
@@MikeNelli-uq2wlit’s not privileged, it’s smart.
@@BeccasaurousRex270 I know y u think she's smart
@@BeccasaurousRex270y am I the only one you had something to comment at
The judge needs to be empathic- she forgets people go through life. She should have allowed her to say what happened to her that allowed her credit to go unpaid
It's also irrelevant. Being a Black gay man, I've been unemployed for years, and post coronavirus/pandemic, I cannot find a job; and I go on interviews, and I'm never hired. So now I'm doing gigs/freelance/event staff food/catering work at conventions and festivals etc.), and I'll be honest, my background isn't squeaky clean no, but that's my past, and this is now. I'm a hard worker, but I face discrimination on interviews/background checks etc. Unfair. Background checks are supposed to really double check the person isn't using a false identity. That's it. But it seems they are 99 percent of the time, used to unfairly judge people on occurrences in peoples past which are nobody's business unless it's some high profile CIA job. Not to work at a call center, supermarket, restaurant or hotel, or in this case a leasing manager job etc. (whether stuff on the background check, were warranted or warranted, or a parking ticket they never knew they had etc. or if what comes up on the background check is that persons fault or not). Hence why a lot of people with haphazard backgrounds work under the table and/or are self contractors. I feel for Plaintiff. If she just went for an interview and "We'll call you", and background check pulled up her past, and they declined her job offer, okay. But clearly they basically on-boarded her onto the team, and did this Smh. I feel if she sued for a smaller amount (hell no not 10k like 500 bucks for inconvenience, and if she had proof Sandy and Sally/his employees treated her like that) she could have won this case.
The judge seems so irritated with the plaintiff I would have read the room ten minutes ago and just walked away
I’m glad she and JJ read about the cases in depth and even research so that they know when there’s false information.
What?
“JJ” is on a different show.
It seems obvious to me that judges on TV court shows do NOT read in depth about their cases. I’m not accusing them of any wrong-doing I’m just saying it does not seem like any more than a normal once-over. I notice them miss things often.
But even if a judge reads every single document very closely, and does great research, how do you think that research guarantees that they’ll discover “false information?” They can’t read minds nor do they have superpowers. Litigants have to bring evidence and/or witnesses in order to prove or dis-prove any information that they provide.
damn i don’t disagree with her decision but JM did not let the plaintiff speak at ALL
I saw it coming . .... Judgement for the defendant!
Agree! Have never seen JM interrupt soooooo much!
People are too entitled in this Country
EVERY professional job offer is "subject to" verification of credentials and a background check!
Some people have no shame like the plaintiff. Do you think coming on tv and showing you can’t pay your bills and are happy to sue unjustly is going to help
You find your next job. 😂😂😂. Have some shame.
I don’t know how old this young lady is but I hope that she learned a valuable lesson. Until an employer gives an offer in writing, you do not have the job which means do not give your current job notice that you’re leaving, do not relocate, don’t think you have the job, don’t do anything!! Forget state laws. It’s common sense. lastly, JM was so annoying in this case with the amount of times she asked the plaintiff a question and did not allow her to answer 🙄
A case where the plaintiff's decisions in the past comes back to bite.
This episode got everyone thinking the company was LUCKY not to hire this lawsuit fishing scammer. She is UNEMPLOYABLE and good to expose hee on national TV and on the internet. I'm sure she will have worse credit today than when they did a background check on her then.
Plaintiff is looking for free money. Flapping gums! JM was out of patience with this ridiculous lawsuit.
The judge asked questions but she does not allow the plaintiffs to answer the questions she needs to know when to shut up so she can listen what happened
Hopefully you understand that the judge reads all about the case beforehand. Most of the theatrics we see here are because it's a TV show.
I knew she wasn’t gonna get anything. Asking ten grand from judge Milian 🤣?! Are you crazy?
This was a joke of a trial. Why even bother asking a question if you won’t let the party involved answer?? Such a travesty.
So, why would they tell her to come in November 1 to pick up the keys if the background check wasn't completed? I do believe that they told her she was hired.
Even if they had, she did not deserve$ 10.000😢!
I am assuming she was told contingent upon the background check, you can pick up your keys on xxx date.
I would have liked to know if a written job offer as provider. Should have clear language regarding the terms of employment.
if she was hired where is the contract?
@@nameundefinedname5307 verbal offers are also legally binding. Harder to prove in court however.
She pretty much filed a fake lawsuit to get 10k. If that were the case, everyone would file a lawsuit and just to get free money of however much they want😂🤷
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 girl bye with your bad credit
Smdh 🤦🏽♀️
Girl by with your long forehead lots of people have bad credit !!!
I work in HR and I loved this case! Agree with the ruling. I’ve had background checks come back a day before the contingent start date so it does happen that you may have very little time to work with but in those cases, I would call the potential hire and let them know is they their start date will be delayed.
The plaintiff had a loose reading of the FCRA. Great case!
That is what I'm thinking... why did they not push the start date back since they were waiting on the background. Like always... communication is key. But this young lady could have called as well on the status of the background of the company wasn't communicating before she gave notice to her apartment
Agreed what made this one "messy" was the apartment/living space, which adds an unpleasant wrinkle.
But I agree, I recall times where BGCs didn't come back until AFTER a person has started and they get that "tap" on the shoulder 🤔 to un-ass a cubicle.😮
No $10,000 for you!!! 😂😂
This was exhausting 🙄 They dodged a bullet with this one 😂
Yeah, that's how I feel. She probably would have sued them for something else if they did hire her.
The defendants didn’t give her notice, they lied to her also they were not professional and should have done all checks before that date.
You don’t make any sense. Do you know how many people get rejected from a job offer in the United States?! Too many to count. That’s just how it is. Get over it and keep applying elsewhere.
She wasn't hired to get fired. You don't need to give someone you haven't hired notice that you aren't hiring them lol
@@akairiyahiko2602 Yes but companies know they need to be more honest so you won’t have such problems, it’s their job to be clear and stop leading people on.
@@Bluespirit12345 Yes but again she moved all her life around this job so they did lead her on, also why not explain as “professionals “ when they first saw her what was required and done the checks straight away, they waisted her time and left her on the street without accommodating her, that’s where they were wrong, and if people don’t stand up against these companies they get away with it.
@@paultin3302 She was fully aware they were doing a background check. Shes a grown ass women, she should know when they ask to do one, the job is contingent on it. She left herself on the street, leaving an apartment for a job she did not have. Any working person knows a job is never officially yours until you've done all your hr, background, direct deposite, ect. Not their fault she assumed the job was in the bag and it wasn't
JM saw through. Those who dont understand "why she was interupting" dont understand law.
The plantiff is also overconfident and snide. JM saw it.
The plantiff should have done nothing until CONTRACTS were signed and she was moved in. never count on anything until it happens. The Plantiff jumped the gun.
Then don’t ask a question. Yes the girl was absolutely in the wrong but in that case, only talk to the defendant. Why ask the girl a question then before she can even open her mouth ask 4 more questions then never let her answer any? This was excessive regardless of the fact that the woman should have never brought her case. It’s her job to ask questions and at least hear a word or two of the answer and I could count 6 times she asked separate questions before the plaintiff was able to open her mouth to answer any. Excessive.
This happened all the time at a car rental agency I worked out. Potential employees would come in all the time, do well in the interview and state they had a clean driving record. Thirty minutes later here comes the State driving report and there would be like ten DUI's, driving without a license, etc. and they couldn't be hired. Then they'd be all mad like, "That was last year. I've only had two speeding tickets this year since January and other than that I've got a clean record". Some people!
Mama used to say "Don't count all your eggs before they hatch!" She should have waited until the background check was completed.
Clearly the judge did not like this woman. She was being really rude.
They gotta stop with these dumb lawsuits. JM very frustrated on wasting her time
She has say in which cases they take
This woman didn’t even sign I-9 papers and tax papers.
I been saying that Judge Malin is racist for decades. When I saw how Judge Malin looked at the Plaintiff from the beginning; I knew Judge Malin already had her mind made up. That's why the Judge was asking questions & cutting the the plaintiff off before the Plaintiff could respond. I've been watching People's Court since it's debut.
Judge yelling at the plaintiff not really necessary. And maybe she should have had Sally there as some sort of witness for her....
I'm sorry but Judge Milian pissed me off on this one she did not have to act hateful to the plaintiff that woman was hurt she didn't get that job and instead of Judge encouraging her she stumped her down further. I know how it feels because I been unemployed for 3 years now and i have a good background, but no one will give me a chance. After I prayed about it I stopped looking for jobs permanently and now God blesses me with money every day and I don't have to work or have doors slammed in my face on purpose anymore. What others won't give you God WILL! I'm happy and living a good life now and I hope that lady found a great job after this or was blessed with money unexpectedly.
The defendant is the type of litigant who usually wins in cases. They first listen and wait for the other side to plea their case without interruption (which so many people do whether their right or wrong). This way it allows them to know what’s being said wrongly and what is correct. Then when it’s their turn, they have a clear counter (with evidence) to prove their case which he did by taking her statements and showing what he did to disprove what she said. This is a case and point @11:50 when he shows proof to counter the plaintiff’s FCRA (Federal Trade Commission statement which is part of why she’s asking for $5K). In my opinion, he seems like a fair employer and even stated that she had a good interview but changed his mind once her background check showed many issues. She was applying for a position that kept other people’s affairs in order yet she couldn’t keep her own in order. I think his actions were justified which is why he’s in the position he’s in for hiring others….
I GARUNTEE - she ALWAYS thinks she is the victim in everything-
What a leap in logic.
@@allisoncastle sure…..
I know someone who was hired before the drug test. When the drug test came back positive they were fired. Employers need to wait until drug tests and background checks are completed BEFORE offering or hiring people for a position.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's even more funny after watching it.
Uh what.
Knows damn well thats not how that law works
Judge Judy would say, "I don't care how you feel."
😂uncross your arms.....😂😂
