@@TheMariemarie16 Yeah like most things I need to exaggerate for the sake of making a point. But I understand that we men have been castrated over the last 30 years, pretty much across the world. But in the black community, it is taken to another level. Just look at this right here, you have a whole industry backing the female as she destroys everything around her. I understand whites are behind it... but this black woman has gone insane in the process.
@@gmshadowtraders Well, If black women have gone insane then anyone would be in her shoes. Let's be real, I'm speaking from years of experience and observation. There are tons of black men (not saying that they are worse than others but we do have our own specific set of issues) that do not want responsibility or to really have to be the leader. Many men want fun and games for years leaving the women with the bulk of the responsibilities. And the black family unit has been severely damaged from outside forces since African Americans have been in existence.
Did you hear her say her mother had two men and she didn't know which one was Ms. Moore's father? That was why she was so against Ms. Moore having the DD out of wedlock, so she rejected the girl and Ms. Moore didn't want her to know Erle was not Maurice's child. So sad.
Andrew Gabor Right because my mother still keeps family secrets, even when I’ve called her out on a few of them. They are very stubborn about those secrets and they refuse to talk about them or acknowledge those secrets.
This was one of the most emotional episodes I've seen. The fiance did not have to attack his mother like that because for one she was not there when this woman was raising her children. Just be there for your husband and help him through this.
She wasn't totally truthful here despite her tears. His grandma knew she was trouble because she already had 2 kids with no father back then and now a 3rd..

EXACTLY.......my husband is the my children's Dad......they have a Father who, aside from forcing them to be his drug dealer (they're 21 and 24 now) he doesnt give 2 cents about them.......the man that CHOSE 2 step up and raise them AS HIS OWN is the true hero
I agree, you cannot judge someone for their actions when they have remorse. We do the best we can and hope it turns out good. His mother's generation that is what they did, they did not tell anything that would have a negative outlook on them and their family.
Omg. The mom had me in tears. I felt the fear in her voice. She truly respected and feared her mother. I also felt the love she has for her son. I pray this family is doing well and mending 🙏🏾
Mrs. Moore was right on time. She told her husband the truth several years ago and he accepted it. The son was raised in love and he has now chosen to demand more information. Mrs. Moore is remorseful and admits to making mistakes to her husband and son and she does not owe the girlfriend anything. Nothing.
Yesssss. And I understand her time from back in the day... those old woman was nasty to there daughters. I'm 43 and I know how my great grandma and grand mother was.. Lord I felt for this lady..
Secret Encounter , the husband objected to such discussions and the mother respected his wishes and she really did not want to discuss it either. The parents did want they felt was best at the time. The grown son chose to pursue the issue. Other similarly situated grown children have also been known to count their blessings and move on with life. To each his own.
Freda, I agree with you. My biological father was never around & he didn't pay child support either. He didn't know, nor did he care whether or not we had a roof over our heads or food to eat. My real dad was my stepfather. I never considered him a "step" father....he was my DAD. He was very good to us and always introduced us as his kids. He was the best. So, I hope that this young man will see it that way too.
I was one of those kids sent away to the South and adopted by other members of our family living. This one punched me smooth in the feels. The mom raised a really good point to the fiancee that I am going to try to remember with my own kids - the times I grew up in, and all my parents grew up in, are so different from the times my kids are growing up in now. We should be respectful and mindful of those changes and how they have an effect on our decisions going forward.
I like how the judge was explaining the time difference on when back in the day was different and more difficult then today. People do need to realise there is a difference.
From the picture I really would have thought Maurice was his father. Hats off to Maurice for being a true father to Erle a father is someone who raised and thought him how to be a man whether blood or not.
My father said back in the day a judge told him "If you feed them (unrelated children) long enough, they'll start looking like you." That's what love does. Have you ever notice how couples together for a long time look like each other?
@@O2BAmachine I thought so too! It's the nose and the high forehead I think. He cannot be too upset he grew up never knowing and was loved by who he thought was his father. Who knows even if the bio dad would have even been in his life...🤷🏾♀️
@@racqueenus This goes beyond a great law school--Judge Lake has an educated heart and knows what women in society has had to deal with through the generations!
Totally agree the people are so shallow it's unreal. I my self feel the woman could have done with the biggest hug in the world . Shame on the people that love others hurt and pain
I must also add that this is definitely the most powerful and emotional episode that I have seen in paternity court and it did touch my heart. I'm from a family that believes in old-fashioned values dignity and respect and that is for most so I can relate to this situation even though I have not personally going through it. Secrets secrets secrets in the 50s.
This was the episode that made me start watching regularly. I thought the judge told the truth about the difference in time periods and the reason why the mother would not have told the whole truth sooner.
This is the first episode where I am torn. Yes, the son deserves to know his true father. The mother's fear of HER mother's rejection is so powerful- geez! I just don't know y'all! 🤷🏾♀️
Yea I feel for her .. her reason for doing it at the time she felt was for his own good. It wasn't really cuz she was covering up something she did from her husband like others. I'm torn ..I cried with her.
Aisha Moore She wasn’t fearful of her rejecting her but him! He wanted him to have a grandmother, & he had a loving man who had was willing to be there to raise him. Had the biological father popped in & out for 5 minutes & then the grandmother rejected Erle his whole life, that would have been sad.
@@HandbagDiva I don't disagree with anything you said. I have heard stories of older women who were sent away and/ or ostracized by their families if they made a "mistake". Those women lived in shame for the rest of their lives. So, in this case I see both sides. It's just sad.
That’s so sad that a grandmother would punish an innocent child just because of the mother’s actions. A lot of these old folks are disgusting with the way they treat innocent, little babies.
Thank you Judge Lake for enlightening that fiancée of the way things were. Sometimes we are wayyyyy too judgemental. His mother did what she thought was best to ensure they survived.....and I can understand and appreciate that, without taking anything from her son's desire to know.
Sac-Nicte IKR.She been holding her fiance like a baby while the mother STILL had not told the whole truth until she got to court. I agree -dont yell at my mom-but in this case, his mother is a huge liar. Why would he even know to ask her? He was a kid.
Edwin Justiniano Did we watch the same show? Because she did say that Maurice eventually knew and also agreed not to say anything. I’m not saying what she did was right, but every emotion displayed, I felt it and believed it.
Im not a very emotional person...But i could feel the TRUTH in this womans emotions....shes a powerful woman...but hurting her son is what broke her down outside of disappointing her momma.

Why would you clap? This woman loves Maurice and has seen 1st hand the horrible pain this pathetic woman has caused him. He can barely function and his mother made it all about her. The utter arrogance of her screaming at her future daughter in law, and mother of her grandchildren. She is making sure she will be excluded from them. Nothing beats being HUMBLE, especially when you are the one causing all the pain!
Why would your son ASK you who his dad is when you're married to a man that's being his dad? And you're blaming a man that wasn't his dad for not letting you tell YOUR son???!!! That makes no sense! ...Didn't you just say "STILL YO MOMMA"!!!! This is YOUR fault lady!!!
I actually give more credit to a man that loves a child that isn't his biologically than to a man that just takes for granted that the kids are his and don't treat them any way special.
That was a different time. My aunt who is 70+ just found out 5 years ago that she wasn't my grandpa's biological daughter she found out when her biological father passed away. They took secrets to he grave.
"HOLLUP EARL,IM STILL YOUR MOMMA "....Earl shut up real quick 🤣🤣 Respect on his part tho !!! Her crying about wanting her mother to love her children hurt my heart .
My story exactly. Was raised up in the times the mother was. I totally understand. And truth always comes back to bite you. The truth at that time would have been worse
It broke my heart as well. I understand her. I have a "mother" (I had to cut off a long time ago) & she didn't treat my kids the same as her sons. So I can understand if she knew her mother wasn't going to love her son, why she held on tight so she wouldn't find out. She really found a winner in Maurice, because that man took care of them & raised her son as his own & to be good as well.
PEACE@ KATHY. I AGREE BROTHER MAURICE WAS, IS, AND WILL REMAIN THE MVP PLAYER OF THE YEAR. THE FIANCE IS DISRESPECTFUL TO HIS MOTHER AND HERSELF AS WELL. WHO HERE IS A SAINT? WHERE WAS HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER?WHY DIDNT HE COME FORWARD SOONER? CRICKETS 🦗🦗. LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE! RESPECTFULLY, I SUBMIT, HE SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HIS MOTHER AND HIS STEPFATHER BECAUSE THEY DID WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR THE CHILD. IT IS RARE TO FIND A MAN WHO WOULD PROVIDE A STABLE HOME FOR CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT THEIRS. MR. MAURICE APPEARED TO BE A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR HIM AND HIS SIBLINGS AND TAUGHT HIM TO BE A RESPONSIBLE MAN AND FUTURE HUSBAND. THIS EPISODE HAD ME CRYING CONCRETE AND STONE TEARS.😭
Southern Guy so what. Is that so strange. She was caught up in a love triangle. Many of us have been there so stop judging which by the way is a sin also.
Southern Guy it’s sad how quick some people are to judge and belittle others. That’s someone mother and grandma 👵, have some respect. I hate to hear what you call your own mother. Sit down, read a book, read the Bible and get some intelligence and decency
It's just how that generation thought. My grandmother had my mother out of wedlock at 17 and was a total basket case about her girls not being promiscuous or bringing home babies. I think it's a way of acting out guilt. When my sister and cousin had kids out of wedlock, she talked about leaving her church home of 30 years because of embarrassment. I'm so glad we've evolved.
She used her own child to vent her anger at herself and her own decisions. She must've felt deep down that her own poor choices caused her daughter to walk in the same direction. A whole lot of mothers, including my own, hate their own decisions so bad that they feel the need to punish their kids so severely if they make a similar choice or even plain jealousy if their child is better than they were with the same options before them. For her mother to reject her other children shows how far down the rabbit hole the granny's feelings ran. It makes me wonder if the mother was a product of that affair and her own mama mistreated her for it. This poor lady deserved better.
Miss Payne I’m glad someone else said it. I knew I heard it right. That’s down right crazy to experience that and then turn around and act self righteous. It was not only a generational cycle of secrets but one of shame.
And she also apologise after she said she didn't owe the girl friend nothing... The girl friend was out of line PERIOD... SHE NEEDED TO KNOW HER PLACE ON THAT ISSUE.
That was a shock to her even though she knew the outcome. She had hope and faith that she was wrong and that Maurice really was the father. I don't blame her for making the decision she made. She did what was best for her family and I respect that. Family always got something to say but don't say the right thing.
They're not too many cases that affect me like this one did! I promise every time his mother cried I cried with her. As mothers we make decisions for our kids daily and hope and pray that its the right one! God bless this family🙏🏾❤
Don't let her tears blind you from the fact that she consciously had an affair and let her son go 3 decades without telling him who his REAL father was. I'm willing to bet my life if no one said a word she would've took it to her grave, and not because she cares and made the decision for her son but because she didn't want to be outed as a hoe first and foremost.
@@tau566 do we know for sure that his real father even wanted to be in his life? I don't remember them mentioning that. She wasn't covering up bc she didn't want to be judged. She said it was bc she didn't want her son to be rejected by her family. She was wrong, but not selfish.
This escalated fast,The fiancée must know her place too🙊.I sense they have a rocky relationship before now.The judge explained the situation well enough.
The mother expressed that she loved the fiancee and thinks she's good for her son. This situation is enough to cause a rift. That's why lies are never the way to go, regardless of the reasoning.
@anger & rage speaking is okay but not the way she spoke.I may be wrong about the relationship being rocky but I feel she was disrespectful to his mom.
Cynthia need to sit her behind down. Mrs Moore is stressed enough without your two cents. That was so scary. She could have hit her head when she fainted..that boy loves his momma.
I wish my son's baby mama would step to me about my boy while she ain't married to him, talking mess to me. I'd catch a case and a court date on that hag.
I really don't think she slept with a family member. I really think she would have told it. It's too much hurt in this situation. If it had been a family member I'm sure she would have told him. She know her son is really hurt, she felt that as a mother
😢❤ "I WAS CRAZY ABOUT THIS MAN, I LOVED THIS MAN, I HAD TO BE IN THIS MAN'S POCKETS SO HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME"...😢❤ THAT WAS TOUCHING AND THAT WAS CUTE AND SO SO HEARTFELT AND REAL💯❤🙏🏽
Her mother, the grandmother, is awful for rejecting the other child for the circumstances she was born and also for causing so much fear in this woman that she felt she had no choice but to keep these painful secrets.
That's literally the first thing I thought! How could a grandmother do such thing? How are you gonna mistreat and reject one of your grandchildren because of something he DIDN'T even do, nor knew about at all? Just vile! There's truly nothing more I hate than parents who love their kids conditionally. Especially when that child didn't even do anything...but simply exist.
Lord I felt this 100% living in Louisiana that's exactly how my mom and grandmothers generation was having to sneak and hide the truth just the get by but they passion in his mom's voice showed how much she loved him. Deep down she really wasn't sure but that faint when the truth came out made me jump like I was there. It may not be right in this day and age but they did the best they could from how they were raised.

I appreciated how the son hushed and let his mother speak when she told him to. Shows how well he was raised and the respect he has for his mother. I can't help but think Maurice played a very large role in him being the well-mannered man he is.
Earl is disappointed, understandable so but he is not a baby 😕 and needs to man up and accept the reality .He needs to appreciate his mom,respect her choice, it's more involved than just him.he needs to treat his own children and their mother with as must love and respect as Maurice has given to his mother. He seems immature and entitled 🙄 he needs to grow up and act like a real man.
She made this about this about her and not his feelings. His feelings mean something as well! Whether or not his mother thought she was doing the right thing he deserved the right to know the truth.
They’re very real for people in their 40s - 60s too ☹️ That’s why I never take it seriously when people say things like “this generation does too much! It wasn’t like this back in the day.” It’s like, sorry dude, but it definitely was like that back then. People just kept their secrets and there was no internet, paternity shows, or readily available DNA test to show it.
MartianBlues so tru.... Where I’m from in the Caribbean the older folks always quick to say “you young girls are hoes” well guess wat auntie so were you and all your frenz!!! Secrets were their thing so chances are we may nvr know them
Man I LOVED JACKIE HIS MOTHERS HONESTY. I mean this truly is one of the best episodes that I've seen them on paternity court since I've been watching it awesome
You see the real pain, fights and exchanges that needed to be aired and the love behind all the turmoil. I loved it when they all hugged. And when mum fell, they all rushed robher rescue.
When the mom fell down i gasped out loud... Even before that, she knew what she did and even apologized for it and was in remorse i think its enough and even her son was quite emotional about it ... wowww.. the court was a good place to let it allll out and now theyy good! Thank you lord! 🙏🏼
Sounds like the Grandmother was a Narcissist who emotionally traumatized and terrorized Ms. Moore by threatening to NOT love any children born out of wedlock. The girl friend needs to step ALL THE WAY BACK!
Carlos Carter your so right I don’t care how much it affects her or her kids you never disrespect your fiancé’s mother She might be that mad because she has the same secret
Carlos Carter I disagree. You have to be put in them shoes to understand where she coming from. The past is messing with her and her kids further. His hate for his mother is effecting his relationship with his kids and his girl
The family member that asked about his father knew darn well what he was doing. It was intentional. That's how some members in your family will do you. And Lord knows there's 1+ in every family. It was that moment that I accepted Earl needed to know the truth. He had just been played by a person that's supposed to have his best interest at heart, family!!!
How was he played. He knew since he was around 9yrs old. N who said his real father would've gave him a decent life.. I can tell u from a person who didn't have their real father. I'm glad that man didn't come around until I was in my 30's. Lord knows I wouldn't been right bc he still a smh person and he hitting 70 yrs old. Also glad he live on the west coast n I'm on the east coast.
This episode made tears fall from my eyes. I was so emotional for this sweet lady. She really was remorseful. Maurice you are the best dad in the world! 😢😢 Glad they still a family after all
I see a mother who is truly remorseful, which does not take from that fact that she made a mistake 30 years ago. I understand 1st hand how hurt the son is. Momma & Maurice obviously did a good job raising him. Prayers of healing for the whole family. God Bless Maurice.
Man I feel this woman pain, she's ashamed, but also knows she did what she had to do, people do make mistakes and she is genuinely sorry. She spoke so well! I felt everything!
@@LynneJordan11 yes... Regardless of the circumstances, that is still his mother. I can appreciate how he hushed his mouth and allowed his mother to speak.
Regardless, that young man had parents who loved him and took care of him. Blood do not always mean family. Mr. Maurice was his father in every sense of the word.
@@nobodymovebutme Probably was a good reason...that was proven based on Mr. Maurice doing what he did...also on a side note if I treat you as son, act towards you like your my son...you call me father, daddy or pops or whatever, you don't call me by first name...I didn't like that ish
It is disgusting to see how the judge manipulates and agrees with the unfaithful woman. You gave him a wonderful father...no ma'am, he cheated on his son and his poor husband. If I had had my legs closed nothing would have happened. Now he cries a little and everything is forgotten, without any consequences
I hate when young people talk ignorant about a time period when they weren't even born and think they're talking wisdom referencing the 70s and 80s like it was 2019
cut it out bro....hoeing is hoeing in any time era...this wasn't a 15 year old girl going out and having a child out wedlock this woman was almost 30 and had an affair...stop trying to conflate the two
This show has me holding my breath, sitting on the edge of my seat like I’m getting results for my family..whew! Thank You Judge Lake for this show & the way you help families get the answers they need. Also I appreciate the way you actually care & how you run your courtroom! God bless!
@@Lynn_-qx8cr But then again, years can go by and it runs away from you, then there never seems to be a "right" time. As the saying goes; "Experience is the WORST teacher. It gives you the test before the lesson." I feel for Ms. Moore. I understand why she kept the secret and thought it best to leave well enough alone.
JustMez Kut10Nup I suppose that the fiancée has never done anything or never will do anything that she regrets. The world is not so much black and white as it is different shades of grey.
@@tastx3142 We all do things wr regret. But cheating on your spouse and bearing a child from the affair and keeping the secret to save your own skin is not what I'd call a 'mistake', especially with her history of being sexually irresponsible.
Ryuu Lee I don't remember hearing that the mother was married at the time and she referred to her mother as saying that she would not recognize a child out of wedlock. The man who raised the child knew that there was a possibility that it wasn't his, so the mom wasn't 'keeping secrets', they BOTH kept it from the son to prevent her mother's rejection. From the sound of it, the man raised the boy and treated him as his own. I still believe that the mom saw her mother's rejection of her daughter and didn't want another child to suffer from that despicable behavior.
@@tastx3142 she wasn't speaking on wrong or rights; but how her wrongs are affecting his house hold of being a father to his own kids and grooming himself into being a husband. Yes we all make mistakes, but she sacrificed him to keeping her own pride in check. I loved both of my parents, but no way ever would I choose the love of my mother's love over my child. And I'm from that generations.
Any secret this woman may have kept was to spare her child pain . she is excused for that reason .hopefully the child & his g.f. will figure that out someday
The mothers pain just broke my heart, she is such a strong women who truly loves her children, and did the very best she could at that time she could for them. God be with them all in their healing 🙏🙏
If a real man raised me for 29 of my 30 years, he's the man I'm gonna consider and call DAD..I won't even be out here trying to find out if he's my real father because at this point, the other man done missed 29 years..
Knowing who your biological parents are is very important emotionally, especially for medical reasons as well. Some people wanna know where they come from, avoid laying down with siblings and cousins that you may not know about. And also there may come a time down the line where you’ll need information to save you or someone in your family if an unfortunate medical issue were to come down on you and you need medical records!!!
Some people can't handle deep emotions. If I were to judge, I would say people like that are pretty shallow or else they've had an easy life and don't understand others' pain.
Whewww I’m almost in tears from this one, um 😐 upcoming daughter-in-law don’t cast stones too soon and I’m going to leave it there...Mom after this you can release that hurt you have carried, Son you can release that hurt and Prayerfully some day rebuild you two can rebuild your relationship.
Mom 100% knew the man that raised him wasn't his real dad which is why she always said " dont tell ur grandma" She just didn't want to prove her mom, who was calling her a "floozey" and " loose", was 1000% correct.
I think the mother had a bad relationship with her own mother, she's still afraid, I feel it.

Real comment!
I wish there were more men like that!!!
Agreed
Judge Lake is so right, back then everything was secret. Nowadays everyone tells their business
Andrew Gabor Right because my mother still keeps family secrets, even when I’ve called her out on a few of them. They are very stubborn about those secrets and they refuse to talk about them or acknowledge those secrets.
It was 93 come on blck women can do no wrong. Fell down to make it all about her.
And 90% of it is lies. Black families love gossip. What a shame.
And that generation has failed the following generation.
So true. The future daughter n law would have been considered a loose woman.
This was one of the most emotional episodes I've seen. The fiance did not have to attack his mother like that because for one she was not there when this woman was raising her children. Just be there for your husband and help him through this.
She wasn't totally truthful here despite her tears. His grandma knew she was trouble because she already had 2 kids with no father back then and now a 3rd..

I will never judge a woman who has genuine remorse over a dirty secret. Thank you mr maurice.

Why not? You see all the pain her secret is not only causing him but its pouring into his own family's lives as well.
Don't worry. I'll do it for you.
I agree, you cannot judge someone for their actions when they have remorse. We do the best we can and hope it turns out good. His mother's generation that is what they did, they did not tell anything that would have a negative outlook on them and their family.
And hers was so truly genuine! My heart ached for her .

@@justshady people make mistakes dont be so holier then tho,that's why she kept it a secret for so long.
fortnite GAMER no, women make mistakes and men pay for them.
When Ms. Moore said to Ms.Walker “I accept being wrong! I can accept it from my son but I don’t owe you NOTHING!”
PERIODDDDD!!!!!!!! I FELT THAT!
Exactly
*Tina* felt it all in my soul
Mrs. Moore was right on time. She told her husband the truth several years ago and he accepted it. The son was raised in love and he has now chosen to demand more information. Mrs. Moore is remorseful and admits to making mistakes to her husband and son and she does not owe the girlfriend anything. Nothing.
Yesssss. And I understand her time from back in the day... those old woman was nasty to there daughters. I'm 43 and I know how my great grandma and grand mother was.. Lord I felt for this lady..
Secret Encounter , the husband objected to such discussions and the mother respected his wishes and she really did not want to discuss it either. The parents did want they felt was best at the time. The grown son chose to pursue the issue. Other similarly situated grown children have also been known to count their blessings and move on with life. To each his own.
I hope he is thankful to have had a man that loved him even though he wasn't his biological dad. That's a blessing
Freda, I agree with you.
My biological father was never around & he didn't pay child support either. He didn't know, nor did he care whether or not we had a roof over our heads or food to eat. My real dad was my stepfather. I never considered him a "step" father....he was my DAD. He was very good to us and always introduced us as his kids. He was the best.
So, I hope that this young man will see it that way too.
That other man was robbed! She’s a liar, a thief, and rotten.

This is the first time a mom has been on the show that I really feel like they showed up for their child.
This show had me crying 😢! It’s crazy because the son looks like Maurice to me!
He definitely looked like the picture.
I agree.. i just knew he was going to be his father.
The son isn’t as handsome as Maurice but I could have sworn they had the same nose. I was routing for them.
IKR
Gen Laylor -Onyebueke I thought the same!
I was one of those kids sent away to the South and adopted by other members of our family living. This one punched me smooth in the feels. The mom raised a really good point to the fiancee that I am going to try to remember with my own kids - the times I grew up in, and all my parents grew up in, are so different from the times my kids are growing up in now. We should be respectful and mindful of those changes and how they have an effect on our decisions going forward.
Stay strong mumma 🫂
He went STRAIGHT to his mother, because that's a sons natural instinct and reflex. Not even a wife, can change that.
Right Jamar!!!! Fiiance tried to change that by pulling him up and AWAY from Mom when she fainted.
he should have done same not to bring his mam a to court , I woud never dare stand in court against my parents .
and she pulling him from helping her
No woman will ever replace a loving mother

I know that's right!
Amen mama don't owe her sht.
Thank you!
Exactly!
I like how the judge was explaining the time difference on when back in the day was different and more difficult then today. People do need to realise there is a difference.
On the real the judge had to check that real quick cause the fiance got way outta line.
The older generation kept so many secrets

From the picture I really would have thought Maurice was his father. Hats off to Maurice for being a true father to Erle a father is someone who raised and thought him how to be a man whether blood or not.
My father said back in the day a judge told him "If you feed them (unrelated children) long enough, they'll start looking like you." That's what love does. Have you ever notice how couples together for a long time look like each other?

@@victorofrias what's up?
I was thinking that to myself as well
thought I was the only one who peeped the girl laughing while she was crying 😡😡🤬🤬
This is the most powerful episode I've ever seen.
I must also add that this is definitely the most powerful and emotional episode that I have seen in paternity court and it did touch my heart. I'm from a family that believes in old-fashioned values dignity and respect and that is for most so I can relate to this situation even though I have not personally going through it. Secrets secrets secrets in the 50s.
Yes I’m crying now
Lawd! My eyeballs are sweating hard and heavy watching this episode
Completely agree
This was the episode that made me start watching regularly. I thought the judge told the truth about the difference in time periods and the reason why the mother would not have told the whole truth sooner.
This is the first episode where I am torn. Yes, the son deserves to know his true father. The mother's fear of HER mother's rejection is so powerful- geez! I just don't know y'all! 🤷🏾♀️
Yea I feel for her .. her reason for doing it at the time she felt was for his own good. It wasn't really cuz she was covering up something she did from her husband like others. I'm torn ..I cried with her.
Aisha Moore She wasn’t fearful of her rejecting her but him! He wanted him to have a grandmother, & he had a loving man who had was willing to be there to raise him. Had the biological father popped in & out for 5 minutes & then the grandmother rejected Erle his whole life, that would have been sad.
@@HandbagDiva I don't disagree with anything you said. I have heard stories of older women who were sent away and/ or ostracized by their families if they made a "mistake". Those women lived in shame for the rest of their lives. So, in this case I see both sides. It's just sad.
Hopefully we can change that mentality.
That’s so sad that a grandmother would punish an innocent child just because of the mother’s actions.
A lot of these old folks are disgusting with the way they treat innocent, little babies.
Thank you Judge Lake for enlightening that fiancée of the way things were. Sometimes we are wayyyyy too judgemental. His mother did what she thought was best to ensure they survived.....and I can understand and appreciate that, without taking anything from her son's desire to know.
Accountability.. Back then she should've known better. She had him at 27 like she said, so her mother had a reason to be tough..
Jerome there comforting that poor woman, he's the best man in the world
I have a crush on Jerome!
Poor woman?? Lol

Sac-Nicte IKR.She been holding her fiance like a baby while the mother STILL had not told the whole truth until she got to court. I agree -dont yell at my mom-but in this case, his mother is a huge liar. Why would he even know to ask her? He was a kid.
The first episode that had me in tears. I felt every bit of what mom was saying 😭😭
Yes
She is a damm liar tgat used maurice to raise another men baby using him for his money
Me too
Edwin Justiniano Did we watch the same show? Because she did say that Maurice eventually knew and also agreed not to say anything. I’m not saying what she did was right, but every emotion displayed, I felt it and believed it.
"I don't owe you anything" Love you miss Jacqueline Moore.
She sho don't, not nothing. That girl has 2 kids and he ain't married her yet. ....
She doesn't owe her anything peroidt

Im not a very emotional person...But i could feel the TRUTH in this womans emotions....shes a powerful woman...but hurting her son is what broke her down outside of disappointing her momma.
My heart broke when I heard the emotional testimony from the mother about why she made that decision.
With all her crocodile tears and dropping herself on the ground. She is as fake as the day is long.
I'm so proud of the mother, especially when she went off on the fiance. I literally clapped!

He can barely function and his mother made it all about her.
The utter arrogance of her screaming at her future daughter in law, and mother of her grandchildren. She is making sure she will be excluded from them.
Nothing beats being HUMBLE, especially when you are the one causing all the pain!
OMG this was the best paternity court EVER!!!!! I cried the entire time! My heart aches for that mom!

@Sandra Parsons, which episode would you say is "the best? 🙂
Why would your son ASK you who his dad is when you're married to a man that's being his dad? And you're blaming a man that wasn't his dad for not letting you tell YOUR son???!!! That makes no sense! ...Didn't you just say "STILL YO MOMMA"!!!! This is YOUR fault lady!!!
Biology isn’t everything. Earl wouldn’t be the man he is today without Maurice. Both men can stand with their heads held high.
I actually give more credit to a man that loves a child that isn't his biologically than to a man that just takes for granted that the kids are his and don't treat them any way special.

That was a different time. My aunt who is 70+ just found out 5 years ago that she wasn't my grandpa's biological daughter she found out when her biological father passed away. They took secrets to he grave.

She needed to see a medic after that.
Even with mistakes made, families can heal and love each other.
"HOLLUP EARL,IM STILL YOUR MOMMA "....Earl shut up real quick 🤣🤣 Respect on his part tho !!! Her crying about wanting her mother to love her children hurt my heart .
My story exactly. Was raised up in the times the mother was. I totally understand. And truth always comes back to bite you. The truth at that time would have been worse
Me too
It broke my heart as well. I understand her. I have a "mother" (I had to cut off a long time ago) & she didn't treat my kids the same as her sons. So I can understand if she knew her mother wasn't going to love her son, why she held on tight so she wouldn't find out. She really found a winner in Maurice, because that man took care of them & raised her son as his own & to be good as well.
I feel for him and him only. His mother should never have lied to him about his biological father.
Facts
A massive high 5 for stepping up to the plate and being a exceptional example of what a good man is to Maurice
True
PEACE@ KATHY. I AGREE BROTHER MAURICE WAS, IS, AND WILL REMAIN THE MVP PLAYER OF THE YEAR. THE FIANCE IS DISRESPECTFUL TO HIS MOTHER AND HERSELF AS WELL. WHO HERE IS A SAINT? WHERE WAS HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER?WHY DIDNT HE COME FORWARD SOONER? CRICKETS 🦗🦗. LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE! RESPECTFULLY, I SUBMIT, HE SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HIS MOTHER AND HIS STEPFATHER BECAUSE THEY DID WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR THE CHILD. IT IS RARE TO FIND A MAN WHO WOULD PROVIDE A STABLE HOME FOR CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT THEIRS. MR. MAURICE APPEARED TO BE A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR HIM AND HIS SIBLINGS AND TAUGHT HIM TO BE A RESPONSIBLE MAN AND FUTURE HUSBAND. THIS EPISODE HAD ME CRYING CONCRETE AND STONE TEARS.😭
Southern Guy so what. Is that so strange. She was caught up in a love triangle. Many of us have been there so stop judging which by the way is a sin also.
AMEN!
Southern Guy it’s sad how quick some people are to judge and belittle others. That’s someone mother and grandma 👵, have some respect. I hate to hear what you call your own mother. Sit down, read a book, read the Bible and get some intelligence and decency

I feel that
@@TriciaWilson You feel what?? Are you saying don't do either? Just asking...
That’s what the mom on the show said. I guess she’s saying don’t date both men.
Oh...🤔
People don't understand life back in those days. I feel for the mother because she truly loved her son. Hard decisions she had to make.
Her mother had a lot of nerve making her feel this way when she went thru the same foolishness. Sad outcome but glad everyone is good.
It's just how that generation thought. My grandmother had my mother out of wedlock at 17 and was a total basket case about her girls not being promiscuous or bringing home babies. I think it's a way of acting out guilt. When my sister and cousin had kids out of wedlock, she talked about leaving her church home of 30 years because of embarrassment. I'm so glad we've evolved.
She used her own child to vent her anger at herself and her own decisions. She must've felt deep down that her own poor choices caused her daughter to walk in the same direction. A whole lot of mothers, including my own, hate their own decisions so bad that they feel the need to punish their kids so severely if they make a similar choice or even plain jealousy if their child is better than they were with the same options before them. For her mother to reject her other children shows how far down the rabbit hole the granny's feelings ran. It makes me wonder if the mother was a product of that affair and her own mama mistreated her for it. This poor lady deserved better.
Preach! Goes to show you the depth of a child's love for her mother.
Miss Payne I’m glad someone else said it. I knew I heard it right. That’s down right crazy to experience that and then turn around and act self righteous. It was not only a generational cycle of secrets but one of shame.

That's class and grace
And she also apologise after she said she didn't owe the girl friend nothing... The girl friend was out of line PERIOD... SHE NEEDED TO KNOW HER PLACE ON THAT ISSUE.
Riiiiight 🤣🤣🤣
She reminds me of my mother.
That was a shock to her even though she knew the outcome. She had hope and faith that she was wrong and that Maurice really was the father. I don't blame her for making the decision she made. She did what was best for her family and I respect that. Family always got something to say but don't say the right thing.
I went to school with Earl, he is such a nice guy. It hurt my heart to see his story. Glad he got some results and relief.
Do you know if they ever tried to find the other man that his mom was with at the time??
This is a good one mom got me crying
She tried to protect her kids
Same!
Me to 😢
Yes hon I am crying like it just happened to me lol
They're not too many cases that affect me like this one did! I promise every time his mother cried I cried with her. As mothers we make decisions for our kids daily and hope and pray that its the right one! God bless this family🙏🏾❤
Amen!
Amen!
Don't let her tears blind you from the fact that she consciously had an affair and let her son go 3 decades without telling him who his REAL father was. I'm willing to bet my life if no one said a word she would've took it to her grave, and not because she cares and made the decision for her son but because she didn't want to be outed as a hoe first and foremost.
@@tau566 , She shared all of that.
@@tau566 do we know for sure that his real father even wanted to be in his life? I don't remember them mentioning that. She wasn't covering up bc she didn't want to be judged. She said it was bc she didn't want her son to be rejected by her family. She was wrong, but not selfish.
This escalated fast,The fiancée must know her place too🙊.I sense they have a rocky relationship before now.The judge explained the situation well enough.
The mother expressed that she loved the fiancee and thinks she's good for her son. This situation is enough to cause a rift. That's why lies are never the way to go, regardless of the reasoning.
BOOM!
jjjj yes but don’t talk to my mother crazy. I’m glad mama told her and then they both came back to respectability. But yes mama told that lady right
@anger & rage speaking is okay but not the way she spoke.I may be wrong about the relationship being rocky but I feel she was disrespectful to his mom.
@anger & rage I get it and respect your opinion.that up was just mine
The way he immediatly got to his mother after she fell to the floor ... this was so heart touching
Cynthia need to sit her behind down. Mrs Moore is stressed enough without your two cents. That was so scary. She could have hit her head when she fainted..that boy loves his momma.
Donna Adams I agree. Giving advice on what a real woman does....you have a family and stated you are his fiancé. Girl bye.
You saw how she tried to pull him off?! Kmt!
I know! I screamed! I wasn’t expecting that too happen. So sad. I hope he finds his biological dad!

I’m crying
I’m crying 😭 🤣🤣
The man in the picture looks exactly like him, I'm so confused.
I agree. I thought they had to be related as they looked so similar. They have the same nose.
Maybe his mom had a "type" so she may have dated men with similar features.
I was thinking the same thing dawg.
I really don't think she slept with a family member. I really think she would have told it. It's too much hurt in this situation. If it had been a family member I'm sure she would have told him. She know her son is really hurt, she felt that as a mother
I was saying the same thing.. identical!!!
😢❤ "I WAS CRAZY ABOUT THIS MAN, I LOVED THIS MAN, I HAD TO BE IN THIS MAN'S POCKETS SO HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME"...😢❤ THAT WAS TOUCHING AND THAT WAS CUTE AND SO SO HEARTFELT AND REAL💯❤🙏🏽
Whoa.... Her pain is so real and so deep! My heart is heavy for her.
His mother don’t own his fiancée nothing. Smh she the fiancé job is to be HIS support. She needs to get him to get him together
Her mother, the grandmother, is awful for rejecting the other child for the circumstances she was born and also for causing so much fear in this woman that she felt she had no choice but to keep these painful secrets.
That's literally the first thing I thought! How could a grandmother do such thing? How are you gonna mistreat and reject one of your grandchildren because of something he DIDN'T even do, nor knew about at all? Just vile! There's truly nothing more I hate than parents who love their kids conditionally. Especially when that child didn't even do anything...but simply exist.
The girlfriend needs to calm down!

@@dezmitchell5329 exactly
I appreciated how the son hushed and let his mother speak when she told him to. Shows how well he was raised and the respect he has for his mother. I can't help but think Maurice played a very large role in him being the well-mannered man he is.
Earl is disappointed, understandable so but he is not a baby 😕 and needs to man up and accept the reality .He needs to appreciate his mom,respect her choice, it's more involved than just him.he needs to treat his own children and their mother with as must love and respect as Maurice has given to his mother. He seems immature and entitled 🙄 he needs to grow up and act like a real man.
She made this about this about her and not his feelings. His feelings mean something as well! Whether or not his mother thought she was doing the right thing he deserved the right to know the truth.

It’s like, sorry dude, but it definitely was like that back then.
People just kept their secrets and there was no internet, paternity shows, or readily available DNA test to show it.

Man I LOVED JACKIE HIS MOTHERS HONESTY. I mean this truly is one of the best episodes that I've seen them on paternity court since I've been watching it awesome
This is how its supposed to be
You see the real pain, fights and exchanges that needed to be aired and the love behind all the turmoil. I loved it when they all hugged. And when mum fell, they all rushed robher rescue.
I skipped over his mother being yelled at. I know one thing: I WILL NEVER DISRESPECT MY GUY’S MOTHER UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
Im with you. I broke up with soomeone because i never wanted to disrespect her
Love her to this day
I didn't like it at all. The man will forgive and forget what the mother did but may never forget what this lady has said in disrespecting his mother.
Yeah she was doing too much.
Yes I agree with you. You are a good person based on your statement. I love it.
I agree in this situation but if you disrespect me I’m going to stand up for myself
When the mom fell down i gasped out loud... Even before that, she knew what she did and even apologized for it and was in remorse i think its enough and even her son was quite emotional about it ... wowww.. the court was a good place to let it allll out and now theyy good! Thank you lord! 🙏🏼
Despite the mother cheating secrets she loved ,protected & gave her son the best she could , I love her😘😘😘
Times were drastically different than they are now. I understand the mother's plight.
She was 27 years old and stepped out on her relationship and had a child. It was wrong then and it's wrong now. Times were not that different then.

Sounds like the Grandmother was a Narcissist who emotionally traumatized and terrorized Ms. Moore by threatening to NOT love any children born out of wedlock. The girl friend needs to step ALL THE WAY BACK!
I felt mama pain. She was wrong but she did what she had to do. Its 2019 an folks still lying about who the father with the mother knowing.

First time a episode got me crying. I’m hurting for them.
This made me cry. This family loves FIERCELY. Nothing but respect to them.
The family member that asked about his father knew darn well what he was doing. It was intentional. That's how some members in your family will do you. And Lord knows there's 1+ in every family. It was that moment that I accepted Earl needed to know the truth. He had just been played by a person that's supposed to have his best interest at heart, family!!!
How was he played. He knew since he was around 9yrs old. N who said his real father would've gave him a decent life.. I can tell u from a person who didn't have their real father. I'm glad that man didn't come around until I was in my 30's. Lord knows I wouldn't been right bc he still a smh person and he hitting 70 yrs old. Also glad he live on the west coast n I'm on the east coast.
So true. I have heard rumors about one of my family members. The thing is I never asked, they just wanna tell you.
Never4saken 1 yes it was
Yep!
I'm glad that the family member did that whether intentionally or not. Earl needed to know and that IS in his best interest.
This episode made tears fall from my eyes. I was so emotional for this sweet lady. She really was remorseful. Maurice you are the best dad in the world! 😢😢 Glad they still a family after all
I see a mother who is truly remorseful, which does not take from that fact that she made a mistake 30 years ago. I understand 1st hand how hurt the son is. Momma & Maurice obviously did a good job raising him. Prayers of healing for the whole family.
God Bless Maurice.
She said TWO. Get a hearing aid.
Man I feel this woman pain, she's ashamed, but also knows she did what she had to do, people do make mistakes and she is genuinely sorry. She spoke so well! I felt everything!
Hold up Erle, hold up Erle cause I'm still yo momma 😂..... That made my day!
Yep. And he put his head down and hushed right up to let mama speak.
He knew better than to talk over his mama ❤️
He didn't come close to interrupting her again.
He didn't talk over her again,but he sure keep saying "yo honor"😂
@@LynneJordan11 yes... Regardless of the circumstances, that is still his mother. I can appreciate how he hushed his mouth and allowed his mother to speak.
I know what miss Moore did was wrong, but I felt her pain, I think she was really hurt.
Me too sis💔
@@anneanne5199 right 😔
One of the few times I was on the mama side. The pain was REAL. I was teary eyed!
Right. Real mothers live with things in order to protect what that child dont, wont and cant understand. This time this mother gets a Pass!💖💖💖
🤮🤮
Regardless, that young man had parents who loved him and took care of him. Blood do not always mean family. Mr. Maurice was his father in every sense of the word.
But we dont know the real dad.. Why are we not concerned about him missing out on having a son??
@@nobodymovebutme Probably was a good reason...that was proven based on Mr. Maurice doing what he did...also on a side note if I treat you as son, act towards you like your my son...you call me father, daddy or pops or whatever, you don't call me by first name...I didn't like that ish
Applause 👏 to 👑 him!!
That's one great loving Mom. She did the best she could, for her children.
It is disgusting to see how the judge manipulates and agrees with the unfaithful woman. You gave him a wonderful father...no ma'am, he cheated on his son and his poor husband. If I had had my legs closed nothing would have happened. Now he cries a little and everything is forgotten, without any consequences
I wanna clip a lil bit off the bangs on Ms. Moore’s wig. This 👌🏽much.
Lol just a lil bit will definitely do🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Andrea-Imani Weah when she fell out and got back up, they were just right.
@coop can cook ....you a fool girl!!! I laughed so hard at your comment!!!! Whew!
🤣🤣🤣
I hate when young people talk ignorant about a time period when they weren't even born and think they're talking wisdom referencing the 70s and 80s like it was 2019
Black Lit. Black Hist. Exactly, future daughter in law needs to shut her mouth. I’m glad mama got her together
cut it out bro....hoeing is hoeing in any time era...this wasn't a 15 year old girl going out and having a child out wedlock this woman was almost 30 and had an affair...stop trying to conflate the two
K D exactly!!
Lol she had the affair in 93 it's not no 70s. The mother was talking about her sacrifices like she is the victom smh
Right
The way this lady hit the ground though 🤦🏾♀️ glad she didn’t hurt her self
😆 sweet of u to say
Mamas bit dramatic! So who's his Pappy?
I Ciya Boo , a married guy
Gosh I'm happy she didn't get hurt
That's that holy ghost faint, where are the ushers with the white sheet?
This show has me holding my breath, sitting on the edge of my seat like I’m getting results for my family..whew! Thank You Judge Lake for this show & the way you help families get the answers they need. Also I appreciate the way you actually care & how you run your courtroom! God bless!
Do you usually tell your children of your affairs? I guess only if they are a product of it.
True.
Or being honest with your children helps them be honest with you show them what you teach them
Sometimes telling children the truth too early can have a negative effect on them.
@@Lynn_-qx8cr But then again, years can go by and it runs away from you, then there never seems to be a "right" time. As the saying goes; "Experience is the WORST teacher. It gives you the test before the lesson." I feel for Ms. Moore. I understand why she kept the secret and thought it best to leave well enough alone.
And being honest about the major things can prevent ppl from getting hurt
The fiancee need to stop judging his mother so harshly. The pain and guilt is all over her entire being. I feel bad for everyone in this situation.
JustMez Kut10Nup
I suppose that the fiancée has never done anything or never will do anything that she regrets. The world is not so much black and white as it is different shades of grey.
@@tastx3142 We all do things wr regret. But cheating on your spouse and bearing a child from the affair and keeping the secret to save your own skin is not what I'd call a 'mistake', especially with her history of being sexually irresponsible.
Ryuu Lee
I don't remember hearing that the mother was married at the time and she referred to her mother as saying that she would not recognize a child out of wedlock. The man who raised the child knew that there was a possibility that it wasn't his, so the mom wasn't 'keeping secrets', they BOTH kept it from the son to prevent her mother's rejection. From the sound of it, the man raised the boy and treated him as his own. I still believe that the mom saw her mother's rejection of her daughter and didn't want another child to suffer from that despicable behavior.
@@tastx3142 she's got two children outside of marriage, she's nobody to judge other women
@@tastx3142 she wasn't speaking on wrong or rights; but how her wrongs are affecting his house hold of being a father to his own kids and grooming himself into being a husband. Yes we all make mistakes, but she sacrificed him to keeping her own pride in check. I loved both of my parents, but no way ever would I choose the love of my mother's love over my child. And I'm from that generations.
It's never too late to love your kid. Despite the secret, I respect you Ma'am.
Any secret this woman may have kept was to spare her child pain . she is excused for that reason .hopefully the child & his g.f. will figure that out someday
Negative! She’s sick. Women always allowing women to bring deception
The mothers pain just broke my heart, she is such a strong women who truly loves her children, and did the very best she could at that time she could for them. God be with them all in their healing 🙏🙏
If a real man raised me for 29 of my 30 years, he's the man I'm gonna consider and call DAD..I won't even be out here trying to find out if he's my real father because at this point, the other man done missed 29 years..
Nurse_Ultron amen
Its not always about that. Its about what sicknesses run in the genaration for your Children.
@@onyedikachukwuma2062 Exactly! You would want to know where you come from.
Knowing who your biological parents are is very important emotionally, especially for medical reasons as well. Some people wanna know where they come from, avoid laying down with siblings and cousins that you may not know about. And also there may come a time down the line where you’ll need information to save you or someone in your family if an unfortunate medical issue were to come down on you and you need medical records!!!
That's easier said then done. Everyone DESERVES to know where they came from.
Thank you Mr. Maurice for loving this family. I appreciate you for being a real man!!!
That fear of disappointing your parents is a real true feeling... it's just sad that her son is now finally hearing this truth but I get it
I agree with you
Erle is such a respectful young man. Maurice.... thank you sir!
When the mom closes her eyes and whispers "oh god" as Jerome escorts the son in, you know it's gonna be a good one. And I'm here for it Fam! 😂
Prayers
She said he hadn't spoken to her for two months, since he had his "rant." So, I guess she didn't know what he might do.
@@Jibbie49 True.
Why are people laughing in the audience while she pouring out her heart.
That's what I need to know
those 2 behind the mother. i didnt like it either
Right... Had I been there sitting next to them I would've checked both of them they would've put all three of us OUT, believe me...😉
I think they was looking at the side by side picture saying that the father and son didn't look alike.
Some people can't handle deep emotions. If I were to judge, I would say people like that are pretty shallow or else they've had an easy life and don't understand others' pain.
Whewww I’m almost in tears from this one, um 😐 upcoming daughter-in-law don’t cast stones too soon and I’m going to leave it there...Mom after this you can release that hurt you have carried, Son you can release that hurt and Prayerfully some day rebuild you two can rebuild your relationship.
Agreed
Say that again for the ones in the back that didnt hear you!! LOUDLY PLEASE!!💖💖💖
Mom 100% knew the man that raised him wasn't his real dad which is why she always said " dont tell ur grandma" She just didn't want to prove her mom, who was calling her a "floozey" and " loose", was 1000% correct.
