Ungrateful for the Help

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The plaintiff says she hired the defendant to work at the hair salon she owns. She says she was initially impressed by the defendant’s work, but the defendant breached their contract, so she’s suing her. The defendant says she was an up-and-coming stylist, and says the plaintiff turned out to be a manipulative con artist. She’s countersuing for a refund and emotional distress.
This was a lesson for the young lady. Never sign contracts without fully understanding them. Ask questions. Get someone knowledgeable to look it over with you. Make sure everything is legit and agreeable. Never blindly trust in business.
Agreed!
She took advantage of her because she was young and she knew that she didn’t understand anything at that time…and judge Mathis was sooooo wrong in this case 🤬😡
@@kimkeller2983 She did. Hiding under that mentor hat like her intentions were pure.
One of best replies I've read thus far
She didn’t take advantage of her. She GAVE her clients
She should have gone to a cosmetology school. You learn everything about the business so you don't get played in the end.
Thats rite..When i was under the apprenticeship n the hair solan (Mind u for a whole year) the Owner Made me do all the work on most clients and n i was coming out with.approx. $20 a day.. And when I approach the Owner..then she would not do the paper work..and so I then had to start over with a cosmotology school..
It should be a beauty school to learn hairstyling. That young woman seems to be ungrateful to her former employer who did not have to take her on, despite of her inexperience in hairstyling.
Right. I wish her well.
Right it’s like she wanted the “easy route” AINT NO SUCH THING ! Just go to school cut the middle man!
Hope she gets an opportunity to open a hairloc training facility specifically since they're too few which allows a monopoly on students.
She got 45% of the salons clients and she didn't have to bring anything. Not a bad deal. Her problem is not understanding the contract she signed and how the process works.
i don’t even think she read the contract
She should have had an adult to explain the contract before signing it
If she felt that she was not getting what she expected, did she seek the intervention of the person who introduced her before going to court?
Exactly! People do things but don't learn contract law or how business works
correct
I don’t like the way judge Mathis handled this case. That girl can’t send off her own application because she has to prove that she completed her hours under a certified loctitian. The “mentor” literally holds the key to her being certified and I can easily see her not turning in the paperwork for her if they had a falling out. I just hate when JM goes on these tangents. Almost like he’s PMSn or something. Sending positive vibes to baby girl tho. she’s living and she’s learning and I’m wishing many blessings for her.
Yes I totally agree with you, he can be a straight asshole sometimes..! Cornball
man____this girl was a whack ass youngsta who has no clue of how business is run and is the reason we as entrepreneurs can't help these young folks these days. Just because you can do a lil hair doesn't make you entitled to more money and as far as the mailing, Just like the owner said, It would have been to her benefit to get the girl certified because they both would have made more money. As far as the way it "appears that" the judge handled the case, you have to remember that this is an edited clip. He got enough info to make the case/judgements but that footage would have run over the time. they have to make decisions on what to cut out
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Really? I'm not a stylist but in the industry. Once I passed my test to get my license it was my responsibility to send in payment to have the licensed mailed. Now this is different but the point is it's NOT always the responsibility of the owner to do everything for you to get your license there are somethings the person is responsible for on their owner.
@@letishamurphy I feel kinda sorry for the girl, she'll probably never run into someone w an offer like that. Especially providing the clients. Damn, leads are like $10/head and most will not show up.
I hate when JM cuts ppl off bc he thinks he’s summed up the situation after 2 mins of testimony. What the defendant was tryin to say was she was being mentored by somebody who DIDNT want to mentor her and it showed thru her actions. I know from firsthand experience how nasty ppl can be in situations or how uncomfortable/awkward it makes things whn dealing w someone who doesn’t really want to deal with or help u. He’s so irritating now 🙄 Always ready to try and check somebody but be dead wrong 😑
I agree! I had a bad experience with an incompetent trainer. It was a nightmare.
Agree
Yeah he's a straight asshole sometimes
He does this way too often!
Fucking facts. You ain't lying one bit he gets on my got damn nerves with that bs 😒 😤 🤦🏾♂️
Judge Mathis is such a poor listener at times. He ready had his mind made up that because she is a "mentor" that all of her intentions and practices are good. That 18 yr old young lady is going places. I wish her the best!!
Unfortunately I totally agree with you
He gets on my last nerves
Agreed
Judge is a jerk! That woman took advantage of this girl.
He is a jerk!
They're treating the defendant like a charity case but the plaintiff clearly saw her as an investment
She was a charity case bcz she came with nothing!!!! Some places you have to pay out of pocket. The Plaintiff took it out her pay or paid for it herself!!!
Clearly...on God
And just because someone helps you doesn't make you a charity case. Clearly if you doing so well why wouldn't you turn her paperwork in. Scandalous ass
@@kingman1330 She knew her business would ultimately benefit from the defendant's skills. If I help you help me then we're helping each other. That's not charity, it's business. It's not like she was willing to help her just for the hell of it
@@adashastew But after getting certified.. she doesn't have to stay with that shop!!!
I feel the defendant was misled in some ways JM didn't even look over her earnings
Exactly! He acts senile sometimes like he didn’t understand that she had documentation of her earnings for the past 5 months but she didn’t know how much the plaintiff had taken in the year and a half that she’s worked there!🤷♀️🤷♀️
Right
People act like he doesn't have the evidence and go over it before each case. He doesn't, just get it in the moment. Lol..... he knows what it says.
@@awake8794 Good point.
@@rayecham564 He might not be acting. He might be getting senile.
He was so rude to her. She held herself up well. I hope she make where she want to in life❤️
I hope too that she succeeds in life. To this end, she must not let her ambition override everything including humility which would, inter alia, enable her to know when to seek help in things which she does not understand.
Judge Mathis you get a FLAG on this one... You my guy but you did Shawty DERTY...
He def was...and she was saying that she didn't have the address to send it not just putting it in the mailbox. Calm down Mathis!
I agree. I hope she reaches all of her goals and is blessed.
He wasn’t rude. He saw how ungrateful she was. What, because he doesn’t sugarcoat to sooth those whom aren’t presenting themselves and their cases, well?
The contract is pretty standard for alot of salons. I don't think the young lady is ungrateful I just think she doesn't understand how things work. They could have taken 2 more minutes to tell her how she was mistaken but she'll find out over time. She seems ambitious and I wish her well.
The term apprenticeship and internship were used to describe the beginning of her position plus she doesn’t have a license. The only thing she has any say so over is if the owners deviated from the contract. You are right she just didn’t understand.
Agreed!
She didn't comprehend the process n how a methodical order things needed to be in. She needed more guidance n she should have tried to learn the business aspect while doing hair
agree
She is ungrateful she didn't have to find one client
I like judge Mathis but not this one kinda played it one way from jump!!
He probably cheating his mentees too
@@bethehype5339 Good 1
Agreed
I agree
Agree
I could tell that the defendant had no chance at having a fair case, when Mathis at the beginning voiced his personal opinion about how the defendant made him feel negatively about internships. From that moment on everything the defendant said no matter how right or respectfully, Mathis already had his negative bias of her being ungrateful as he put it. If I was the defendant I would file an appeal in the state and base it on a biased ruling by a judge.
Agree‼️
Yea I caught that basically this young girl just started in the business, and she didn’t understand and she also got played too…!!!
And use this episode as evidence!
Really?
She will loose again, simple and plain.... thats bad advice.
She clearly is emotionally irresponsible.
She signed a contract then blame the owner of stealing?
She doesn't even know how much she earned OVERALL, like SHE said, so how can she sue for lost earnings??? ( if you are self employed you are REQUIRED to keep track of your earnings, If not don't get mad when you Audited)
Then she is upset about her certification documents not being mailed by the owner??? Everyone is RESPONSIBLE for their own MAIL, and if you are really serious YOU will mail your own documents and obtain a tracking number OR you will DROP OFF THE DOCUMENTS YOURSELF, PERIOD.
Sounds like a young sister who is new to the cosmetology industry, its time to grow up, become responsible and not blame people who are assisting you for your OWN downfalls.
@@rashad7074 thank you somebody gets it. As a business owner all that owner offered was amazing. Once they young lady gets her license and tries to become a business owner she will be thankful for what was offered to her. Especially starting out and getting her experience.
He totally favoured the plantiff from the moment he took the bench.
He does that time to time
I totally agree!
Yeah, Judge Messy can be finicky like that! The defendant is pretty, articulate, respectful and sweet
@@broadwaybiz211 Lol nah he does that A LOT. He's not one of those judges that slide their biases in on the low, he sometimes is VERY vocal and obvious of his biases.
Wow that is sad she took advantage of this young lady
This woman was a crook, the young lady was not ungrateful this is a bad call on judge Mathis, But he seems to be making quite a few bad calls lately. You can see that she was using this young lady and she took more than what she should have taken from her had she was just renting out of booth from her. I hope she don’t let judge Mathis unjust judgment stop her from continuing on her path. Consider this a brought lesson sweetheart and warn as many young Stylist as you can about her.
@ vonita parker I completely agree with you
Well said👏
I agree, he didn't take in anything she said. He drop the ball on this one.
I disagree I mean come on guys she put out her own money to get her through the door of success and she is the bad one?Totally disagree judge Mathis was right on.
@@Nahumtheditman Yes but however, she had the girls information and never mailed it off. She never Disclosed the address of the company (sister locs) to the young girl so She played her. Not sure why JM never asked the woman if she gave the woman the address so she could MAIL her INFORMATION herself... I mean that's why he went off she even said she never had the address that only she had it. So I'm sure she learned her lesson and went to cosmetology school.
When the defendant said she didn’t know who to send it to I’m assuming she meant she just had an unaddressed envelope not knowing who to mail it too and expected the plaintiff to do as she was suppose to do! Judge Mathis got real jazzy and didn’t listen to her!!
Totally agree with you
💯
It's easy google the state licensing in your area or call the number. We expect everyone to do everything for us. Come on.
@@mashan1978 May sound simple to you but obviously not to her and I’m not making excuses for her just stating my opinion..some people have common sense and some don’t.
Exactly trying to make her look stupid but I understood exactly what the girl was saying and I believe her. She thought bshe did her part according to what their agreement was and if she was wrong the mentor probably should of said something to her like hey you know u need to get your paper work mailed out right?
I believed the defendant 100% JM didn’t even want to hear her out Smh
Yeah I low key did too
Plaintiff just more intellect with her words and deliverance
Agreed
@@deborahlewis3413 More seasoned, crafty and conniving imo
He’s been an idiot lately
I agree
Judge seems like he had already picked sides
Judge seemed very bias and seemed to favor the plaintiff from the very beginning. The defendant did a very good job with her composure. Especially for being just 18. I believe everything the defendant said.
@@lisafiona2543 esp the part about the IRS. Yep she said it lol.
JM shouldn't have called that Young lady ungrateful. That's disrespectful. At least she did her part in the salon.
You don't see the ungratefulness. The lady paid out her pocket to have someone teach her something & she is complaining about it!!! That's ungrateful!!!
yep she is very ungrateful. sad too
He’s been an idiot lately
@@kingman1330 that is one way to look at it. But coming from the young lady's perspective, if someone doesn't want to teach you, it'll show in their actions. You can receive very poor guidance from someone who is *forced* to help you and that's what she explained. She wasn't ungrateful for the help, but they weren't any help at all 🤷🏿♀️
@@kingman1330 Thank you everything was given to the young lady, products, customers, a safe place to work, if she didn't like it, go pay those high fees at school and keep it moving..
That girl was better off going on judge Judy show i bet she would have looked over everything. Judge Mathis be going off how he feels at the moment
He's been a bear lately..cutting ppl off mid sentence when ppl are explaining..and his sarcasm is getting worse too.
I agree.
Truth! He’s not fair in many of these cases.
Facts
I believe the defendant would've won her case had she explained herself better and if the judge wasn't so dismissive. I hope she doesn't let that bad experience screw up her character.
No she would not have ! Her first mistake is counting someone else money 🤦🏽♀️. A salon has what?? Overhead the biggest being rent! Next utilities, advertisements and products this girl paid for NOTHING. She comparing booth rent where you are responsible for everything all you get is a space to use. Why in the world would she give her a stamped envelope if the she was mailing it for her? She was ungrateful and failed to plan or ask enough questions to fully understand. The fact that she went and got a $600 a month car note at 18 tells me her parents didn’t teach her financial literacy
I think she explained herself well , Judge Mathis twist everything she said around while the con artist salon owner stand there grinning knowing how easily she just con the great judge Mathis.
She couldn't fully explain herself because Mathis kept cutting her off. When she referred him to page 6 regarding her wages he didn't even take the time to look so his mind was made up. She didn't stand a chance.
JM shut up and LISTEN!!! Good God he is FRUSTRATING when he won’t listen!!!
Greg is so bias smh ….. Damn I hate how the defendant was treated …. I knew she wasn’t lying about the taxes ….. someone told me the same trick ….. I hate how we can’t support one another this young girl was definitely taken advantage of !!!!
Lmaooo @ Greg because that's who be up there some days..not JM
@@user-fb6ti9hi9r exactly!!!
Imm 100 with ur you.the defendant explain it well..ive been n that positio ..n i beleive the Owner told her that..JM DOES NOT HAVE COSMOLOGY KNOWLEDGE ON HOW APPRENTICESHIP WORK..THE OWNER TOOK ADVANGE OF THE DEFENDED
Mathis has been an idiot lately
@@melmel3703 Yes, the man (JM) is getting old, I mean hell can he see with them damn glasses up on his face like that. The defended was done wrong, and the judge was not trying to hear it! Just sad...like so many times lately, I was about to turn the show off! smh
Come on judge. She’s an 18 yr old young woman trying to do something with herself. Yes, She’s naive! He went hard on her and made it seem like she’s ungrateful and a liar. When indeed, She was taken advantage of. Smh the judge is so biased!!!
She really was taken advantage of and JM knows he's wrong for his judgment. U know the young lady wasn't lying I mean she was very respectful and courteous in the courtroom and to me that says a lot especially coming from a person of her age who just got railroaded!
Judge did her dirty
She seems ungrateful to me.... How did take advantage of her, she got what is in the contract she signed, period. She got an opportunity and misused it by being greedy with an attitude.....
all this ungrateful negativity Lucky80 against JM. This defendant went hard on herself, smearing her mentor blaming her mentor cheating her mentor . Judge on the podium looking down at how dirty defendant is
No, actually JM had to let her know the laws and the real world. Moving forward clients, vendors etc are NOT going to go light, easy breezy on her
I hate when he makes emotional or rash decisions like this. He didn’t hear her out cause he didn’t like her stance
Yep!
It was clear that not only did she NOT know how much money was made, it was even more obvious that she wouldn't be able to determine what is 55% of ANY money. He should have asked her, "If you did $1000 worth of work, how much would you get, not counting tips." I guarantee you she would have no idea. His decision was "emotional or rash" (like 99% of the black women comments on this thread, including yours), he clearly saw that you couldn't reason with this girl and that she was ungrateful and unappreciative.
Judge Mathis stepped all over the defendant smh
once he makes up his mind you can't say anything to him. he already has decided who wins, they don't even need proof at that point
and wrongfully so....
I think your all need to watch it again!!!!
@@kingman1330 Explain
Hope he sees these comments on this case 🤦🏿🤷🏾♂️🙏🏿
JM be clowning, that young lady did not say “nude”. That was a flagrant foul
Exactly.. I was in a whole other room and heard that she said "NEW" 😒🙄
Yea that shit ain’t cute
Oh lord it sexual harrassment right. Go continue supporting WNBA and U.S women's soccer for equal pay and leave a simple misunderstanding along.
He always trying to make weird jokes that don't land. Or it might be old age and hearing, but I will say no matter how old, he gonna keep a tight Florida Evans Afro.
Dang people can joke without someone getting offending. The joke was funny . Stop trying to find fault with everything someone says , it’s getting ridiculous. Make your own jokes and laugh and stop watching Judge Mathis
Ruling was rather bias. It seems like a preconceive perspective! Not every mentee is ungrateful and something seem out of sort about this case.
I really hate that he bashes ppl instead of educating
She was ungrateful.
@@tantaylor6403 please explain how you find the defendant ungrateful.
@@stephiewelsh8210 Hey Stephie! She was ungrateful because of the following:
1: The young lady came in on commission and did Not have to worry about trying to get clients on her own- which would have marketing expenses for the young lady .
2: The young lady came in and didn't have to purchase products in order to do the salon clients' hair- which would have been an expense to the young lady.
3: The young lady's Sisterlocks 4 Day Training, which is at least $1495- was also paid by the Salon Owner- which would have been an expense to the young lady.
4: The young lady received FREE TRAINING from the salon owner's designee- which people charge for mentoring programs.
5: The Salon Owner offered to mail off the Sisterlocks Certification application package- which was the sole responsibility of the young lady- And yet, the young lady's pkg was incomplete.
6: The young lady knew ahe had signed a contract and still seemed dumbfounded when Judge Mathis upheld the written contract.
The Salon Owner was Not Obligated to do the following:
1: Hire her
2: Train her
3: pay for her Sisterlocks training coursework
4: offer to mail the paperwork for her
5: explain how or where to mail the paperwork
6: assist her in her certification process
7: teach her anything about the sisterlocks process
See... these self-entitled brats don't know the first thing about gratitude.
Did she ever once say thank you? Nope. She felt like when she received the training that someone else paid for, she was entitled to the same money as the salon owner... & I have experienced ppl like this in my salon. Furthermore, with the ungrateful attitude that the young lady has, she will only go so far.
@@tantaylor6403 agree with all this, not sure why so many people in the comments doe see this. Hell I know stylist that get less commission than her in salons
The Defendant speaks really well for her to be so young
I absolutely agree, plus she is absolutely gorgeous too. I hope she follows her dreams and has a wonderful life.
@@dunkinjunkie5868 she is so gorgeous. Probably just needs to mature a little more
@@azuredelcielo9151 I absolutely agree
Once the Plaintiff said she was the owner Judge Mathis wasn't hearing anything the Defendant said I felt bad 4 her 😞
He didn’t rule fairly.
Right! He immediately to the other lady side. Treated the younger lady as if she wasn’t as good as the older lady smh it’s ok tho because God gonna bless that young Queen the older lady took advantage of her because she was young and didn’t know the game smh
@@dmnagbe39 He ruled based on a signed contract. How is that not fair?
I didn’t feel sorry for her. She should have did research before signing anything
No when he heard I helped my community.... 😂😂😂
That girl got played , he not even hearing the cases out lately...
I agree but here’s the thing- If the young lady gathered the paperwork and put it into an envelope. She should’ve just mailed them herself, and followed up with her mentor. At some point, she should’ve just sent the paperwork again.
he’s let this persona he’s trying to give it get to his head, a lot of his cases he’s just been rude and over talking everyone
ALWAYS read the contract, and ask questions if you don't understand.
True
I 100% disagree with his ruling. I believe the plaintiff is lying on her taxes and everything else and that's really when he got irritated with her.
That's because she was trying to get her locked up when the lady helped her somewhat
The mentor never denied that the mentee gave her documents. She said everything wasn't there. Meaning she admitted to recieving her materials. The mentee didn't know she didn't have everything. But instead of asking if the mentor returned her paperwork or told to fullfill missing requirements, mathis just accused the mentee like she was ungrateful.
Even if the mentor isnt responsible for getting her certified, why did the mentor take her paperwork and not return it?
The mentee looked like she was screwed over.
!!!!!
I believe everything the young lady was saying .... Same times Judge be trying to hard to prove a point
This though! I agree 100% you better say that Gonzales! 😎
This right here
She was screwed
I truly believe the testimony of the defendant. I think the plaintiff is a liar and took advantage of this young lady After all, she is only 18. I love JM, but this plaintiff played him. All she had to say was she like to help up and coming young people and give back to the community, and look a certain type of way. She was attractive and she made that statement.. She looked intelligent and acted professional. He let all of that blind him and his judgement. If he had listened, he would have heard heard her say, all the young lady's stuff was not in order. Isn't that what she is there for. Why didn't she kick it back to her and said, this is not done. This is part of what she is promising; If she really mentored and cared and tried to help, that would be her job. Now that you have done everything needed to do, let's make sure your paperwork is in order before sending. When I got my MDA, my trainer made sure all my paperwork was in order before submitting. All the technical stuff was done. Judge Mathis's mind was made up before the defendant spoke. This young lady made that plaintiff heifer money and probably took more than she should have. When she inquired, she didn't like that, and she fired her. Something JM didn't even address. I heard her say it; and the plaintiff just laughed. But above all, JM should have watched the watched the plaintiff's body language. She was guarded. First she had her arms crossed and the rest of the time she had them in her pocket, and rocking from side to side.... That speaks volumes....Maybe those earrings hanging on her shoulder distracted him....I feel he got this one wrong. I pray this young lady becomes successful......and people question this salon before going to it....
Agreed!
He’s a Narcissist
YES!
The plaintiff said “I have envelopes and stamps” 10:17 ….. why would she have that if she wasn’t the one who was to mail the paperwork 🤔. The defendant put too much trust in the plaintiff he admittedly states ‘she works for her stylist’, apparently not.
Exactly
I think the plaintiff meant she had provided the envelopes and stamps for them to use to mail, but it was the defendant's responsibility to mail it off.
@@dionned.6176 I hope that’s not what she meant as that doesn’t make sense considering the plaintiff was the one who had the paperwork to mail. Plus the defendant said she didn’t have the address so if the plaintiff had said ‘I gave her paperwork back and the address’ that would’ve made sense.
It's a business. Who doesn't have envelopes and stamps? I have a business at home and I give out stamps. You're on your own sending your own mail.
@@mashan1978 hair salons don’t give out envelopes & stamps nor do they collect random documents from people to go with the envelopes & stamps 😂😂😂 unless I guess they fall in the “mentor” category like the plaintiff self proclaims
Why didn’t the judge look at her earnings, even if it wasn’t the entire period of her working there, if she took over the amount just once wouldn’t it still be breach of contract?
Correct
He’s been an idiot lately
Okay just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything because that was a bit weird
so months after the show i heard it was rigged on her end , she sent him letter prior to this episode which i had no knowledge of & it made him bias before i already showed up
@DiamondHeart - He didn't look over the earnings because he had already made his decision 2 minutes after hearing the case. :(
Reading is fundamental, young people (and older people). How is it she signed a contract agreeing to pay the shop owner 55%; then turns around and says, “Oh no, I thought I was getting 55%?! That’s too much to have to pay you!” ? .....Also, it’s best to live within your means. As an apprentice, just starting out, perhaps a lower car note would have been preferable; and she wouldn’t have felt so much (financial) pressure - considering she SIGNED A CONTRACT agreeing to relinquish 55% of her earnings. Smh. She agreed to it, I mean, d@#m!
And then she complained the shop owner was too controlling; then turns around and relies on the shop owner to be solely responsible for mailing-off her own darn paperwork. She could have googled it and researched it to find out where to send it and did it herself. That’s what I would have done. .....Lesson learned young lady. Smh
You are Mvp for this comment!!!🥰🏆 ppl are really blaming the Plaintiff who went far & beyond!! Thank you so much for this comment!!!😪💞
Nooo i think u are being a little too harsh. If u were the mother of an 18 yr old u wouldn't won't any one to take advantage of your daughter like that. She was clueless to the business she just didn't know and i dont fault the young lady for that.
@@carolinapantherfan4330 she want to be an adult she has to learn & play by the rules!!! The lady explain everything clearly & why it was done! It sad you dont even understand! First of all its business & nothing personal!!!
My assumption is at 18 how would she possibly get a lower car note with hardly any credit history. Do you know how credit works?
So being young and wanting to better yourself means someone should take advantage. Im sorry if your calling yourself a mentor do your job. JM misruled on this one
55% is very great deal. The salon brings the clients, trains you, pays rent, pays gas, pays lights, pays marketing, publicity, insurance, pays for supplies, even provides envelopes and stamps. Some of you in comments obviously don't know the business.
We know a crook when we see one & the plaintiff is a crook. Shame on her, i hope the IRS investigates her.
I agree. I'm tired of seeing the excuse that "She's young". If she's so young, then she should have someone helping her. I sometimes made poor decisions growing up as well. It's part of growing up. She signed a contract. Had she have read the contract, she would have understood what was expected of her. Young people don't want to read, and they certainly don't want to be held accountable for their own decisions. It's always someone elses fault.
It's a great deal for the owner that's why she does it, not to help them it's to help herself. Without them how much money would she make on her own? No we're near as much. Apprenticeship is working for free for connections, experience,which employers rather do than paying more people.

Exactly, the young lady admitted that she was green, naive and inexperienced to the procedural process of obtaining her license in locs so why badger her. She was taken advantage of by her mentor and the judge.
💯
And so called friends do it over and over it is called two faced.
I wish this young lady the best. I'm from stl and I would definitely give her chance as a client. Jm can be mean sometimes 😔
I'm here watching from STL toooo sooo would be in the young lady's chair❤️❤️
55% to the house, sounds fishy to me. I believe the plaintiff was taking advantage of the defendant. the part that sealed it for me was when the plaintiff said the defendant got to keep "all of her tips".
Standard commission is 45%, plaintiff charged 55%, probably because of the work she put in with regards to training. Defendant received training and signed a contract without the terms she actually wanted written down. Internship feels very exploitative in general regardless of industry. Part of professional psych and medical training is that trainees provide expert level evaluation and written reports, receiving what would be considered a poverty wage for a year of training, it's far from ideal, but we get full time training and consultation on our work so that one day we can charge hundreds of dollars for expert level services.
Correct.

Why doesn’t he ask the lady what happened to her paperwork? I think they misused the term “mentee”, like it meant this girl was dependent on her mentorship to make money. They depended on each other! Some of that 55% went in the owner’s pocket. They acted like the owner did all that she did without any benefit to herself. I used to love judge Mathis and a really look up to him, but he’s been disappointing lately.
I was wondering why he didn't ask her where or what happened to her paperwork too.
The owner Doesn’t sound unreasonable. She sounds like she is running a business. All you have to do is work on the head. Dont have to hustle up clients or market yourself. Don’t even have to buy your own supplies. That’s pretty good. The aggravation alone is worth the premium. Plus you got talent but no clients so you needed her like she needed you. I thinks she took this woman’s offer for help with the license like it was no longer her responsibility to license herself. Licensing info is public information. She could have looked it up at any time on her phone. Good luck to her though.
55% is highway robbery. I worked for a prestigious salon all through high school as a receptionist and the owner took 45%. With all the same benefits she's offering. This was a regular salon. Locs are a lot of work. Those girls deserve more than 45% of what they're bringing in. In my most humble opinion.
@@aprilpinkelton4385 Then the defendant should have worked someplace else. It’s not the plaintiff’s fault the defendant did not understand the math on the contract. She continued to work there for over a year. The minute she realized the percentage was not in her favor she could have quit.
@@stefaniem2872 I didn't say it was anyone's fault. I just said 55% "in my opinion" is highway robbery. I would bet she only has young newbies come to work there. Also, she most likely has a revolving door. Bc, anyone worth their salt wouldn't hand over more than half of their hard earnings.
Judge Mathis was drinking this day almost made me say F Judge Mathis.
me too
You need to watch it again & leave your emotions out of it! It business & contracts the young lady wasn't mature enough for!!!
@@kingman1330 I can read write and comprehend well I don’t need to watch it again like I’ve been doing for the past 15 years watching Judge Mathis like I said he’s must be drinking because this is not his Character
@@kingman1330 True! She should had learn as much as she could not only do hair the business aspect n other job duties. Second the owner didn't guide her properly, she was worried about her 55 percent. She will learn it's a doggy dog world out here.
@@beb5407 %10 was for her supplies & plus she got her customers too!!! She is an ungrateful child!!!
Kayla Davis you represented yourself good and you should have won this case!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nah, the ruling was just. Working in someone else's salon, using the salons clients, the owner's paying stylists to train her. She's not paying for rent, supplies, utilities or anything else. Sounds like a young, entitled ingrate.
The defendant has a hard time explaining herself.
Yes she does
Why? Bcz she doesn't know what she is talking about!!!
@@kingman1330 I agree, she got all the help someone starting could need and more but she was questioning everything the plaintiff did to help her be successful
@@kayshawnsimmons6822 exactly!!! She is pitiful!!!
@Liz Tentton Yes.. she is pitiful!!! It sad that some ppl on here taking her side!!!
Judge Mathis more of a comedian than justice of the peace and can be obnoxious at times.
Yep I agree
I believe the defendant 100%
Sameeeeeeee......
Me too!
The defendant really held herself together. The plaintiff said she is a mentor and boom he's sold.
The young lady did a great job keeping her composure also. Judge was being so freaking rude man. I know I would’ve lose cause I would’ve cursed that man out.
JM handled this case horribly. I notice sometime he gets a vibe & he's off to the races in the wrong direction.He plainly MISHANDLED the young lady & the case. He also was very RUDE! WA
He had no reason to be so loud and aggressive with her,she was respectful and didn't raise her voice at all. One day he's gonna mess with the wrong one that will make him feel small & the person will not use one cuss word.
Judge mathis is a clown 🤡 for how he handled that young lady
nah defendant clowned herself. JM just helped her put on her clown face so everyone could see her act a as.
That older woman definitely took advantage of the girls naivety and JM is annoying as hell sometimes; he made up his mind in the first 5 minutes of the case😑🙄
Now I don't want to watch it. Ty for the heads up😂
The older woman took avantage of the girl's NAIVETE. You are welcome.
@@onege4460 I HOPE SHE KNOWS SHE WILL REAP WHAT SHE SOWED.
Judge Mathis been tripping lately you know that girl young she tried her best to explain herself
FR FR HE STRAIGHT PISSED ME OFF WIT THIS ONE NO LIE HE WOULD NOT LET HER EXPLAIN NUTHN 🤦♀️😤🤬
Mathis was wrong in this case and based his decision on prejudice towards the defendant from the start. I hope the defendant is smart enough to file an appeal in her state on the basis of a biased ruling on the part of the Judge, and use this video as evidence.
He always preaching about mentoring young folks but he let his feelings get the best of him. He was flat out wrong...
@@thealphaandomega9348 Lol, that's a joke. If she wasn't smart enough to go over her own contract (which implicated her) and contact her state licensing board for assistance with how to be certified, she certainly wouldn't be smart enough to file an appeal.
JM continues to prove over and over how unfair and bias he can be. He needs to retire from this show. I think he was disrespectful toward the defendant.
Agree
Agreed at this point hes old bitter tired and archaic
He didn’t like how the defendant unnecessarily brought up IRS to get her in trouble. Plus she did come off as ungrateful. 18 yo think everyone owes them something
@@colton1016 and your bias is showing right now.
Agreed!
JM I’m calling you out on this you didn’t even allow the defendant to really explain herself
He's too busy "putting on a show" instead of listening , providing guidance and instructions and applying explanation of the law.
Thats because he's arrogant!! He madeit personal and didn't listen to the young lady as he showed partiality to the greedy instructor.
@@ashleyaugust-jones7336 HE IS A TOTALLY ARROGANT DUDE!
I skipped over the parts when judge Mathis is completely being rude and condescending to the young lady. He’s so hot headed and rude. I think he does that for rating for the show!
Judge G. Mathis is experiencing a burnout. He needs to take a step back from the bench for awhile....once his mind is made up nothing else matters...😒
Exactly‼️
Great judges don't ever waver they are decisive..JM a great judge. Hes where he belongs
Yeah its official I can't watch judge mathis anymore so bias is sad. This lady robbed her and used her because she was young and didn't fully understand smh karma for her. The defendant will be very successful I believe it a bright future is ahead for her.
thank you so much i appreciate it 💙 definitely a big learning milestone for me
Girrrlll Fr he was really nasty to this girl.. that’s some bs how he did this young lady.. she tried to be something and that nasty behind plaintiff did her wrong
She came there with no training, nothing but talent and the owner paid out of pocket for her supplies and her own time to train her. Pretty ungrateful of the girl.
This case was trash. lol He screwed that defendant over. I already knew the plaintiff won the second he started talking about taxes, electricity, etc. lol He looked so impressed, I knew the case was over then. He acts a certain way when he already made up his mind.
He goes off of emotions and not facts. He also has a problem of not completely listening to what people say. He jumps on people misspeaking and stumbling on their words.
The defendant never had a chance in this case. She would have won on the People's Court and Judge Judy.
It's who's the best looking and impressive one Mathis looking at.. their both standard.. talk about sex and the case would be longer. and he would be confused....
I strongly disagree with the judge. The plaintiff took full advantage of this young lady that's why she had openings at her shop
She is a good kid. She isn’t ungrateful. And I believe the lady did tell her she can cheat on her taxes.
Of course she did
No. I’m disgusted by his behavior with this ruling. Seems like this was a matter of miscommunication but he didn’t need to handle that young woman like that.
Let me explain how salons work. You must 1st be CERTIFIED to work in a salon, so without the apprenticeship the young lady would not have been able to work on clients.
Where I live, weekly booth rent starts off at $200 - this is due regardless if you have clients or not.
The owner fed her clients to help her get the hours to get certified, while still paying her - the young lady is missing the point.
Thank you for explaining this. Many ppl commenting don’t seem to understand that this young lady would have never been hired in most salons. Also, I don’t understand why she didn’t mail off her own paperwork. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for her and I know she’ll do well in the future.
@ Boss Ladies
Exactly, and have to provide their own product and personal supplies! I felt like the defendant could’ve worked another job on days off and after hours to supplement her income. My sister is a stylist and it took her years to build up her clientele. Your regulars are your bread and butter!
You must live in a small city, in Chicago you can get a booth for $50 a week on a decent street with traffic
Damn $200 is alot of money for booth rental
Big Facts!!!
He wasn’t hearing nothing the defendant had to say, she actually had a winning case geessh!! He was off his rocks this day
In some cases judge Mathis can be obnoxious this was one.i do believe the defendent was being taken advantage of. just because the plaintiff looked good and sounds good doesn't mean she was a trustworthy instructor. I hope this young lady is able to live her passion
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this
Its obvious that she was ungrateful. Case was ruled properly. Problem is she doesn't understand business, cost, profit margin etc.
@@JayLawson i agree
She didn't have a "winning" case at all. She's young and it was her own naivete and lack of analyzing her iron-clad contract that she didn't understand what was going on.
I don’t agree with Judge Mathis on this one! He only jumped at the plaintiff bc she said she “mentors.” How are you mentoring when you’re taking advantage of a person. I pray the defendant is prosperous in her business and doesn’t look back at the plantiff ever again
Naw the young lady got a sweet deal!!! Would have killed for that after cosmetology school. Probably would have stuck with it.
I feel sad for this young lady. I wish her the very best in everything.
What everyone seems to forget is the plaintiff has the overhead of the building rent, electricity, heat, etc. All of that costs money.
The plaintiff is taking a portion to pay for the overhead…..sounds completely logical to me. She actually made it very easy for the defendant to ramp up her own business.
Agreed. The only thing the defendant had to supply was labor. Clients even supplied.
I believe the plaintiff used the defendant and took advantage of her, like alot of them do.....that girl is ready to move forward...this is a damn shame....I am glad she told on this lady regarding her taxes...The plantiff is lying about a lot of sh*t and I am surprised that Judge Mathis didn't see that...but if one more person bring her to court, then he will make a greater decision
As soon as the plaintiff said she was a "mentor", the judge made up his mind about how the ruling would go. Why would the plaintiff have "clips and envelopes" if she wasn't the one to send off the information? Why didn't she refute being accused of tax evasion? Why would the plaintiff let the defendant keep all of her tips? The defendant was naive, true enough. She admitted that. But the plaintiff is a conman who took advantage of the girl because she wasn't certified.
The plaintiff didn’t take advantage of anyone. She signed the contract and knew exactly what she was supposed to do.
@@forrestja Ok. So answer the questions I previously asked.
@@tatianadaniel3569 because she doesn’t have to entertain ridiculous accusations. The tips were not part of the 45% contract deal. Just the wages just like most businesses.
@@forrestja I asked you to answer the question(S) I previously asked.
how did plaintiff con her?? everything was written in the contract..what tf you talkin bout
SISTER LOCKS take more than an HOUR 😂😂😂 "FACTS"
What kind of car is she driving for $595 per month? That's a lot wooo
She young her credit may not be established or she could have ghost credit
I am over 40 and established. I have a heart attack when the car note is over $300. People need to live within their means.
Bad credit means higher interest rates. Her credit is probably jacked. She’s only 18, so she probably didn’t have an extensive credit history
That's what I wanna know
I can only assume people with comments about her car payment clearly don’t understand anything about credit or the fact that she was 18. What credit history would she have established exactly for lower interest 🙃
After reading many of these comments it's obvious that many watched this and became emotionally attached to the plight of the young defendant. However, the judge based his decision on the LAW. The bottom line is the plaintiff's WRITTEN CONTRACT had more credibility than the defendant's FEELINGS.
Unfortunately, the defendant needed guidance from a parent or other trustworthy mentor. I hope she learned from this experience.
yes. I definitely did , i raised myself so all of that i had to learn so it wouldn’t happen again
@@kaydesland After she didn't send it in, was it too late to ask for the address or what happened when you got back from a trip? I do believe that she led you to believe things would be taken care of, but in court if there is no evidence you won't win...I think if you text her or emailed her, you could've won some money...You seem intelligent so you will do well in life.
This Woman took advantage of this young lady ability to read through contracts. Young people need guidance and classes on these things. It wasnt her fault. that lady was taking majority of her money and was expecting her to survive, that is terrible.
I don’t like how the plaintiff had her hands in her pocket the whole entire time. Judge Judy would have given her grief about that!
WHAT are people talking about..The defendant is the ungrateful one. She's now starting out and just has to turn up at a salon and has ALL THE EQUIPMENT PRODUCTS AND CLIENTS. She has the gall to be complaining about what she has to pay and can't send her own documents certified?? She had it great and she'll soon find out
I think BOTH of these 2 are shady but the defendant started rattling off what she owes. $700+ rent and over $500 car note at 18? This is the problem with the youth these days, they don't want to start out at the bottom and work their way up. They want top dollar before ever knowing how to do the damn job. THEN, when/if they get top $$ they spend even more. LEAVE minimum wage alone and make these fools learn the hard way, don't spend more than you can afford. If all you can afford at the time is a hooptie then that's what you drive until you earn a higher paying wage.
I actually think her car note is that high cause of bad credit score. My college roommate paid that for Ford Focus. At the time I had a newer Toyota Corolla for 350
Yep.... and keep your credit good. You pay a lot less for things when you have good credit. One thing I learned the hard way.
@@Shewins23 but who has bad credit at 18?
How do you think she’s living above her means when everything is higher for a teenager newly establishing herself. Do you know how credit works at all?
@@ChatiseE some people parents mess up their credit before their child even knows what their credit score is. It is very possible for your parents to put shit in your name.
She's 18 years old Judge Mathis. This is probably her first lawsuit, first job, first life experience. She doesn't understand. You don't teach anymore. You acted like she was in her 40s and should have known what she was getting into. Reading these comments, your fans are highly disappointed in you and your judgements
Omg!! I used to watch every Judge Mathis case but he don’t be giving fair rulings as of late. Like once he gets some bullshit in his head, the litigant doesn’t stand a chance of changing his mind.
I been thinking the same thing. Its like he think being emotional will get him views when in fact its doing the opposite. I like the old JM cause he been tripping lately. I thought it was just me.
JM has been trippin lately smh...he was not fair at all. The plaintiff definitely took advantage of the defendant.
The owner said she works for her stylist so it seems her stylist should have gotten her license!
She was n intern not a stylist
@@beb5407 An intern for sistah locs only, she was already a stylist.
If she paid the $1550
Why did she sign something she did not read carefully 🥴
I couldn’t DISAGREE MORE with judge Mathis on this case……that lady took advantage of that girl because she was young and naive…but she seems to be talented and hopefully she gets to where she’s trying to go and become very successful!
When I got a professional license in my state, I couldn't send it myself. My instructor had to send it to the state herself after I complied everything requested. Some things only the instructor had access to. I believe the defendant.
Was reading through the comments and I Pray also she doesn’t get discouraged but continue to follow her dream! It’s some shady ppl out her and really surprised JM DIDN’T Catch this One here!
You think the Plaintiff was shady after all she did for this young lady? You may need to watch it again!!!!
Judge Mathis, that was totally unfair
The plantiff should have never taken her
Paperwork if she wasn't going to mail them off for her!!!! Unfair Justice
They're both beautiful black women.
The defendant is so beautiful and I love her hair. I wish her well and and believe as long as she stay focus and learn the business she will go far
Judge made the right call on this one. The defendant was being very ungrateful and displayed a sense of entitlement. In this case both of the women benefited from each other as is expected. Helping someone else doesnt mean neglecting your responsibilities. The defendant had zero experience in a professional environment and got over a yrs worth during that apprenticeship. That in itself is priceless. As far as the clerical aspect of recieving a license, regardless of whose responsibility it was to mail off the paperwork, let it be a lesson in life and business for the defendant to always be proactive in dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's and dont leave her future any anyone elses hands i.e. the envelope.
The judge didnt like the fact that the girl mentioned tax evasion and other illegal things irrelevant to the case that could get the plaintiff in trouble beyond the case. She is willing to mess up that womans entire life because she feels like she shouldve mailed out some forms for her? Forget about all of the blessings she gave her for over a yr (the topic of the lawsuit being one) and just off the strength of her being a young black woman not because theres any blood relation or long history between the two or anything like that. That says alot about the defendants character and the judge wasnt with it. In his opinion when someone displays certain character flaws its very hard to trust their interpretation of an event due to that character flaw. That is why he has litigants give background in the beginning of each case. Its not just to be messy lol
The judges dismissive and aggressive tactics are a bit much and I disagree with him alot but he was pretty easy on this girl and it was well deserved in my opinion.
I think he got it wrong with this one because her mentioning the taxes while it’s not relevant to the case at hand, in every case he presides over he listens to facts that aren’t relevant because it leans toward the person’s credibility so why wouldn’t it matter in this case in the woman was evading paying her taxes why would you believe she’s honest in any other situation?! Also she mentioned how she had the envelopes so that must mean she accepted from the girl so if it didn’t get mailed off who’s fault is it at that point? It seems very plausible that if she took this girl under her wing to show her the ropes, that she would also tell her that she’ll help her get her things right and help her get certified and in many instances that could very well include telling her to do x y and z and I’ll send it off but as with many of Judge Mathis’ cases he comes out the gate bias to one side. Even if the judgement was going to turn out the same way he ignored a lot of things that would have had him ruling the other way had this case been another one.
You are spot on. I think a lot of the other comments are missing the point. Let this be a life lesson for her.
I don’t think Judge Mathis was fair on this. He was so tough on the defendant as if he didn’t believe her.
JUDGE MATHIS GETS ON MY NERVES SOMETIMES..IT MAY B TIME FOR HIM TO RETIRE...HIS PATIENCE GETTING SHORTER AND SHORTER
Nope the judge was exactly correct this young woman has people in her ear telling her she's being used and she needs to be getting all that money.. .NO! that's what an apprenticeship is for, you are learning all the behind the scenes skills that in the long run will get you more clients get you more business and help you not only do hair but actually become a real business woman... Everybody knows somebody that can do hair not everybody is a successful salon owner....she should've sucked it up and finish her apprenticeship
I’m u.yes ,xxx a
I've just about had it with JM and Doyle. JM don't let people explain their case, anyone can fumble over words and Doyle always making comments. He need to shut up, and stay in his lane which is being a bailiff
Judge Mathis sometimes jumps to conclusions, from there is a wrap. No point of even explaining your case because he's really not listening. lol
595 car note???? what the hell she driving?
I thought the same thing, but given her level of intellect, I think she may have been also adding the insurance.
I was thinking the same but it could be that she has a very high interest rate.
@@tommyfire3 you're critizing someone with that spelling. Intelict?
The average selling price for new cars 37000 if you finance for 72 months at 5% interest that's about $600 per month. To give you a idea of what that is in terms of cars that's a loaded Honda Accord or a base Honda Pilot
