I noticed that. He was in the audience, but wasn't going to otherwise get involved. He looked like he was feeling like pneumonia might need to come on quick if the judge asked him anything.
I love that the daughter said right is right and wrong is wrong. It’s terrible to go against a family member and it does destroy relationships but just because somebody’s your family member you don’t give them a free pass to screw other people over for the first time in my life. I actually lost a job because I did exactly the right thing and I had no clue I would lose my job for defending somebody’s honor and integrity, but I don’t feel badly about it. What’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong I wish more people had principles and please people do not ever ever ever cosign anything for anyone.
I know the feeling; I blame that Jesus character. It's crazy that the more your try to be 'good the more life pucks you, while scum get a breezy life phuckin anyone and everyone over... I'll never understand but I am glad to get phuck if its for the good and I can't phuck people over to get ahead, not even in my dreams. sad that there are people that are so heartless
everyone up there was shady as well as the mom . i feel like they all conspired to total the vehicle so that the insurance would pay for it because they probably decided they no longer wanted to make anymore payments on the vehicle . and of course the son who actually totaled the vehicle was not there for fear of possibly being cross examined by the judge and found guilty of insurance fraud .
She said " The car was never in my possession" 2 minutes later "I used the car for about a month, a month and a half" Also I think the daughter got kicked because she took his side. Mooching Mama is foul
This woman's antics, even five minutes into the episode, even before she's opened her mouth, are the epitome of "The woman doth protest too much." She is SO guilty.
The whole idea of a credit score is basically a social score. Sometimes people fall on hard times. I get that we need to be careful who we lend money too but it’s crazy. And credit scores were originally supposed to help people not get denied for nefarious reasons but it’s crazy at this point.
@thenatural5268 incorrect. They pay the judgement and a $250 appearance fee. There's plenty of people that have been on the show and that have talked about it. We aren't talking Judge Wapner back in the day, we're talking current times.
Not if he wasn’t the primary insured on the policy. He was co-signer on a loan, doesn’t mean he was on the insurance as a driver. If it wasn’t REGISTERED to him he’s probably fine.
I'm SO relieved the judge went with her gut! The defendant is a no good, piece of trash. First, to be so shameless as to ask your son's friend (who's just beginning to adult) to cosign or sign for a car loan, then screw up his credit by missing payments, and in the end go to court and blatantly lie about it is despicable! To top it all off, the judgment wouldn't even come out of her pocket, so for her to stick to her story was just plain disgusting. The judge should have asked the pathetic defendant what she believed his motive for suing her was if the truth was as she stated it. I truly despise people like her, always looking for a handout and never take accountability for anything.
I'm pausing this at the 1:09 mark to say....just by the intro and all her facial expressions it already looks like she is a person that would do something crooked and take advantage of people.
Janice Evangelista's BS, over-the-top, overly dramatic reactions are ridiculous. She seems like an extremely unhappy person. So glad the plaintiff got his well-earned money back.
That poor guy, she's such a lousy person. Thank goodness he had gap insurance that was a smart idea hopefully he has learned a smart lesson never ever put your name out for anyone. Wow I just noticed how far the boyfriend is sitting away from her 😂😂
You can tell the defendant was lying! Yikes. And the judge didn’t make her look bad, the defendant made herself look bad. I feel bad for all those kids involved. The plaintiff is so lucky and so is the defendant he didn’t have to sue her for more! This could have ended up way worse than it did.
The defendant is a liar. She basically said in one sentence that she only drove the car for a month or month and a half. Then in the next sentence said she never had access to the car.
Mom should be proud, but I'm sure she's too selfish to be happy with her daughter for doing the right thing. She'll hold it over daughter's head for the rest of her life.
My best friend cosigned for a truck, and as soon as i could put it in my name, i did. I would never have screwed her over. That is a character flaw. We have been best friends for 54 years .
The son is hiding behind his mother's skirt. He is likely unemployed bum and so can not make any payments and since he did not sign anything he skips making payments. He makes his mommy go to court. Sad! If the son is capable of working then make him work and save up money with which to buy a decent vehicle. Simple. Now the plaintiff realizes he is an idiot and was taken advantage of by the mom's loser son.
Comprehension isn't your forte, huh? The daughter sided against her. She was kicked out of the home for siding against her. The son was afraid to be kicked out as well, so he chose not to testify at all. The mother went from saying, "The car was never in my possession" then two minutes later is was, "I used the car for about a month, a month and a half". The lady was lying.
Defendant said she never used the car and wasn't aware of any of it and then she said she used the car for about a month and a half and paid the plaintiff for it.
Nope. My daughter asked me to cosign for her I said no. I helped her out financially so she wouldnt go hungry or homeless. I said you have to pay me back,she agreed. Shes paid me back a whole 40 so far. She owes me alot more.
Honestly, I can't even finish watching this case, it really pisses me off how old farts take advantage of young hard working people. SMH. She should be ashamed of herself.
0:44 She was glaring at him so hard, her bowling bag of a purse almost pulled her over😂. I can tell by her entrance, this is going to be a case where she claims the Plaintiff is completely in the wrong and lying(but it turns out she's the one not being truthful). Edit to add: Knew it, according to her the Plaintiff completely made up everything about the car being hers. He could have just as easily sued his friend, makes no sense that he would accuse the wrong person of owning the car. She's pretty shameful.
I too think the defendant owed the money..... no one comes in and sues you best friends mother, for the plaintiff wants the one who wronged him to be responsible..... she is the bald faced liar.
I dont know. JM confused me..on other cases she MUST have evidence to rule. Judges aren't supposed to go by their own feelings, they are supposed to go on evidence.
No don't cosign. If an accident, you are not even involved, yhey can go after you. They get tickets on that car, They will come after you, your car, your money.
The Judge needs to kept certain things and comments to herself and pay / move along through the cases before instead spending extra time grilling one or both side/ sides.
She looks like she would take advantage of a kids credit
She looks like a drunk to me, her body language said it all.
Meth, too.@@helenemillar5175
When the daughter said if her brother got involved he would be kicked out as well, mom nodded implying yes. How sad.
@helenemillar5175, yes! And a liar
😂😂😂😂😂
The judges' instincts are on point!
He was lucky he had gap insurance and that mother is an ungrateful so and so.😢
Hell, even the boyfriend didn't wanna stand next to her
Boyfriend looks. Mad
I noticed that. He was in the audience, but wasn't going to otherwise get involved. He looked like he was feeling like pneumonia might need to come on quick if the judge asked him anything.
Yeah I noticed that 😂
When he said, "A mooching Mama," she whipped her head around!😂
She was an idiot. Glad she lost
Right me too, because I didn’t know if they could hear that I thought that was just for us when he. be reading the hell out them 😅
I love that the daughter said right is right and wrong is wrong.

What’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong I wish more people had principles and please people do not ever ever ever cosign anything for anyone.
My mom co-signed for me years ago and I’m glad she did! Now I don’t need co-signers. Definitely need to be really careful!
I know the feeling; I blame that Jesus character. It's crazy that the more your try to be 'good the more life pucks you, while scum get a breezy life phuckin anyone and everyone over... I'll never understand but I am glad to get phuck if its for the good and I can't phuck people over to get ahead, not even in my dreams. sad that there are people that are so heartless
I agree but losing a job you'd lose period. I'm not jeopardizing my career for anyone
I think mom asked her son to ask his friend!! Mom and son are ratched!!
Wretched……
If you can crap on people you love, you're not worth much
Agreed.
You would actually crap on people you're using
Right! I get there are people that only care about family (not great but not horrible) but to do it family UGH
ew what a terrible mother. and she's a terrible liar too
The defendant looks like she is high as a kite.
That was my first thought ! Junkie
Yep
lol I said the same thing!
everyone up there was shady as well as the mom . i feel like they all conspired to total the vehicle so that the insurance would pay for it because they probably decided they no longer wanted to make anymore payments on the vehicle . and of course the son who actually totaled the vehicle was not there for fear of possibly being cross examined by the judge and found guilty of insurance fraud .
For real.....
Mom looks like she's lived a rough life.
Yes, very, VERY rough life!
Alcoholic
Not as rough as the people she stiffs.
Full of bad choices
For real .....
“The judge made me look like a bad mother” - lady who threw her daughter out
She said " The car was never in my possession" 2 minutes later "I used the car for about a month, a month and a half"
Also I think the daughter got kicked because she took his side.
Mooching Mama is foul
Yeah, I noticed that. She admitted using it for at least a month, which kind of contradicts her story that it was all for the son.
Yeah her daughter has more integrity than the Mom
This woman's antics, even five minutes into the episode, even before she's opened her mouth, are the epitome of "The woman doth protest too much." She is SO guilty.
People don’t understand the importance of protecting their credit.
The whole idea of a credit score is basically a social score. Sometimes people fall on hard times. I get that we need to be careful who we lend money too but it’s crazy. And credit scores were originally supposed to help people not get denied for nefarious reasons but it’s crazy at this point.
I learned that the HARD way ....
Why on earth did this go to court? She should have just paid him, instead it went to court n her own daughter testified against her..Damn
The peoples court paid it
The show actually pays out the ruling. No one is out of pocket anything.
They only pay them a fee for appearance, they don’t pay the whole lawsuit if it’s over the appearance fee
@thenatural5268 incorrect. They pay the judgement and a $250 appearance fee. There's plenty of people that have been on the show and that have talked about it. We aren't talking Judge Wapner back in the day, we're talking current times.
@@Jermz1979 and plenty of people are wrong
Despicable defendant.
This guy got off lucky. However his insurance premiums will go up. She is a bad mother and a liar! And has no shame.
Not if he wasn’t the primary insured on the policy. He was co-signer on a loan, doesn’t mean he was on the insurance as a driver. If it wasn’t REGISTERED to him he’s probably fine.
Happy New Year everyone! From Sydney Australia 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Her body language just screams. I'm lying.
The defendant is a bold faced liar. Fair judgement
I'm SO relieved the judge went with her gut! The defendant is a no good, piece of trash. First, to be so shameless as to ask your son's friend (who's just beginning to adult) to cosign or sign for a car loan, then screw up his credit by missing payments, and in the end go to court and blatantly lie about it is despicable!

Mom is a bad liar
If her daughter was lying there’s no way she would have that reaction to losing this case. She’s happy for him for winning? 😂
Exactly! And near tears
I would never ever buy a car for someone else and that’s basically what the plaintiff did 😢
That “mother” is no mother!!!
I'm pausing this at the 1:09 mark to say....just by the intro and all her facial expressions it already looks like she is a person that would do something crooked and take advantage of people.
Janice Evangelista's BS, over-the-top, overly dramatic reactions are ridiculous. She seems like an extremely unhappy person. So glad the plaintiff got his well-earned money back.
"She's accused of being a mooching mama" 😂
Apparently all of you people have nothing better to do then sit at home bad mouthing someone who YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
@judyelmer2257 Dude chill. It’s a court show.
Is that you the defendant? 😂🤣😅🤣
@toluani7690, must be 😅
Uh, we know from the testimony....@@judyelmer2257
When the daughter said that her brother could be kicked out for getting involved and going against his mom, and the mom nodded.
6:15 The guys face behind the defendant. 😂😂😂pick up your jar sir and close your mouth. 😅
Chile
😂😂😂 I had to go back and see for myself!!
That poor guy, she's such a lousy person. Thank goodness he had gap insurance that was a smart idea hopefully he has learned a smart lesson never ever put your name out for anyone. Wow I just noticed how far the boyfriend is sitting away from her 😂😂
The defendant looks high, IMO. Despicable.
You can tell the defendant was lying! Yikes. And the judge didn’t make her look bad, the defendant made herself look bad. I feel bad for all those kids involved. The plaintiff is so lucky and so is the defendant he didn’t have to sue her for more! This could have ended up way worse than it did.
The defendant is a liar. She basically said in one sentence that she only drove the car for a month or month and a half. Then in the next sentence said she never had access to the car.
The mother is despicable
Mom raised daughter rite, wrong is wrong, right is right. 10 years from now mom should be proud of her doing the right thing
Best statement. No one is perfect. But, if your kids stand up for what is right, you’ve instilled values.
Mom should be proud, but I'm sure she's too selfish to be happy with her daughter for doing the right thing. She'll hold it over daughter's head for the rest of her life.
This mother should be ashamed of herself. What a piece of work
Imagine being such a mess of a person that you have to take charity from a younger person and then lie about it.
The defendant felt salty about that intro
Ikr?🤣 She must not watch TPC. That one wasn’t bad at all compared to many!
I love Judge Marilyn!!!!!🎉❤
There's something off with this lady out of $18,000 she should be glad to pay $2,000.
My best friend cosigned for a truck, and as soon as i could put it in my name, i did. I would never have screwed her over. That is a character flaw. We have been best friends for 54 years .
My brother in law helped me get a car before I had credit. In the meantime, I built up his credit and my own so well, that he helped me again.❤
Don't still be friends, you'll wind up buried in the desert.
@flashrobbie, for real! No way he stuck around with that family
Good ruling, I’m glad the judge ruled against the defendant
7:15 nasty work for the mom not to deny the son being his lover.
lol, the defendants face “mooching mom” 😂😅
The son is hiding behind his mother's skirt. He is likely unemployed bum and so can not make any payments and since he did not sign anything he skips making payments.
He makes his mommy go to court. Sad!
If the son is capable of working then make him work and save up money with which to buy a decent vehicle. Simple.
Now the plaintiff realizes he is an idiot and was taken advantage of by the mom's loser son.
Comprehension isn't your forte, huh? The daughter sided against her. She was kicked out of the home for siding against her. The son was afraid to be kicked out as well, so he chose not to testify at all. The mother went from saying, "The car was never in my possession" then two minutes later is was, "I used the car for about a month, a month and a half". The lady was lying.
Judge made the right choice, just based on moms demeanor shes lying
She is such a liar and deserves to lose and yes a bad person
The defendant is like, "Stand in line suckers!!!" I have a feeling she's got lots of judgments against her. Haha
Defendant said she never used the car and wasn't aware of any of it and then she said she used the car for about a month and a half and paid the plaintiff for it.
Shady defendant!
She’s on some substance
Mom's boyfriend not even coming into the courtroom spoke volumes, I'm a bit shocked that JM didn't bring that up.
That defendant is trifling
The car being totaled and having gap insurance was a blessing for him. He can get his money and move on by his life
Interesting how sometimes litigation resolved by a judge is all they need to go back to normal
I've been watching The People's Court for decades and this is one of the most bizarre cases ever.
Good verdict 👏🏽
So glad the plaintiff won! Well done Judge!
Terrible woman
I bet she has a gambling or druug problem
Promissory letter. Have the parties involved sign a clear contract.
I can't believe he won without any proof. He basically bought the car himself and let them borrow it.
The defendant is lying through her eye teeth. Definitely looks like drugs or alcohol are affecting her.
Hi Alyssa first time I knew the ppl on the show 😂
Wow!!!! Spill the 🫖
Associate with better people. Everyone here is a loon.
the famous quote--fell onto hard times,
The shaking of the head and the attitude of the defendant is ridiculous.
“I’m happy for him” why would you be happy if he wasn’t owed this money by you. It’s very strange.
She felt that “mooching mama”.
Drunkie🥴🥴
Here we go again 😮😮😮
Stay I'm your lane 💯 Mom shame on you....
One with book sense but no common sense. Typical.
On feel? Without a stich of evidence?? 🤔
The Plaintiff has a young Keanu Reeves looks and vibe.. ..
7:39 is a face of true realization…..
If I'm not guilty I'm not shaking the other persons hand lol .. she knew she owed the $$$
So what happened to the car and who has to pay off the rest of the $18,000 loan?
Nope. My daughter asked me to cosign for her I said no. I helped her out financially so she wouldnt go hungry or homeless. I said you have to pay me back,she agreed. Shes paid me back a whole 40 so far. She owes me alot more.
Honestly, I can't even finish watching this case, it really pisses me off how old farts take advantage of young hard working people. SMH. She should be ashamed of herself.
The guy acted pretty stupidly, though. As the judge pointed out to him.
A feel?! So any of us could be a judge. Got it.
She wasn’t even mad or outraged at the end. I believe the plaintiff
I'm seasick after watching the defendant's movements
No young man puts that much on the line in loans to GIVE a car AWAY! He'd be riding in the thing himself!
That mom was lying big time.
0:44 She was glaring at him so hard, her bowling bag of a purse almost pulled her over😂. I can tell by her entrance, this is going to be a case where she claims the Plaintiff is completely in the wrong and lying(but it turns out she's the one not being truthful). Edit to add: Knew it, according to her the Plaintiff completely made up everything about the car being hers. He could have just as easily sued his friend, makes no sense that he would accuse the wrong person of owning the car. She's pretty shameful.
Yeah, you threw her out because she was going to testify against you.
I too think the defendant owed the money..... no one comes in and sues you best friends mother, for the plaintiff wants the one who wronged him to be responsible..... she is the bald faced liar.
I dont know. JM confused me..on other cases she MUST have evidence to rule. Judges aren't supposed to go by their own feelings, they are supposed to go on evidence.
In a civil case, you weigh it. In this case, I agreed. It was more likely yes than no.
SUING IS ONE THING, but, GETTING THE MONEY, GOOD LUCK !
The show pays.
Real nice mother
NOT! 😂
ughhhh, what a gross woman, to just outright lie. Happy the judge ruled the way she did even with zero evidence
Never co-signed.
This parent should have had her act together by now. What’s wrong with her?
No don't cosign. If an accident, you are not even involved, yhey can go after you. They get tickets on that car, They will come after you, your car, your money.
She absolutely IS a bad mother and a liar😂😂😂
People's Court is the only Court where you don't need any evidence of any paperwork paper trail or anything like that
It’s not a criminal case and even in a criminal case a judge can overrule a ruling. Civil is just more likely than not in either direction
That mother is a liar..
The Judge needs to kept certain things and comments to herself and pay / move along through the cases before instead spending extra time grilling one or both side/ sides.
@kevinhill24, seriously that part get on my nerves.
She's definitely a bad mother she's definitely a liar
She prob got kicked out for agreeing to go to court against mother
