A Step In The Wrong Direction 

Omg yes! Just look at her facial expressions!

It’s called passive aggressive, a trait that can be hard to deal with.

What the heck you talk about she was actually a really good stepmother‘s she’s better mother than yours

My stepmom wouldn’t have sued me. She would have chalked it up to me being her kid. But that’s our family relationship.

Notice how they don’t call each other step mother or step daughter. It’s always “my brothers mother” and “my sons sister” sooo I think there is definitely a lot more going on between them

My parents taught me money management. Schools can barely teach language and spelling, expecting them to teach kids financial responsibility is a joke - not everything is the schools job.

Well they do teach it in college .

@@NiniFinlay whose college?

One of the most respectable defendants. Completely accountable for her actions.

Oh yes, let's find someone else to blame. It's the school's fault they don't teach money management. 🙄Never mind the fact her parents didn't even have the money for her to borrow. I'm guessing her terrible behavior with finances should be blamed on her parents.

She is. And she’s so pretty ❤️ she was raised well and very respectful. But yes you’re right she is still learning. At 21 one is not always financially responsible. It’s still a learning process. She’ll get it though. Never spend money on anything you don’t need. And don’t borrow money cause it weighs over your head. And if you keep accumulating the amount it definitely makes it harder and harder to pay it back. It’s ok if you can’t afford a trip it’s also ok if you don’t go, if you’re not financially stable and don’t have money to go don’t go. It would be a much smarter move not to go if you can’t afford it. It’s ok to not go to trips or parties or vacation you wouldn’t be the first to not go anywhere and you wouldn’t be the last. Save money, manage expenses, manage your money, if you go on trips or plan trips make sure you have your own money to take and calculate how much you plan to spend and how much you should take, but most importantly DONT SPEND YOUR BILL/RENT MONEY on it. Make sure all bills and rent is paid so that way you don’t have to worry about it later. I wish I could’ve been her friend to tell her this.

Whatever. Her stepmother is a saint and a truly loving woman to do all this for her step child. You’re blinded by her looks. She’s a irresponsible child who took advantage of her step mother’s kindness and then still had the gull to bad mouth her on national tv. Please note her step mother never bad mouthed her. She simply talked about what she owed. That woman is truly a saintly woman.

@@jonesfam9369 💯💯💯👏👏👏

@@thebalderthor4884 are we watching the same video??? Cuz she didn't say ONE negative thing about her stepmother. In fact, she said the opposite. Don't think "she's my stepmom. I'll always respect her" is "bad mouthing" her but I can see why u think that....ur the step mom. 😂 also, I'm more focused on her personality than her looks. Although, she's very beautiful.

Agree. She seems very intelligent. She continued to pay what she could $20, $50 anything. She can't give her something she doesn't have. I am 27 and take care of my son and grandmother and its hard. But also don't borrow what you cant pay.

Exactly!!

I always thought they should educate kids on credit and predatory lenders at school when they are 17 and coming up to credit application age. I was talked into a huge line of credit as soon as I was 18 and moved out on my own. I went to buy a cheap bed for cash and they convinced me to furnish my whole house at huge interest and I couldn’t afford it. It haunted me until I was 30, but it made me learn to live without credit through my 20’s. I’ve also worked with refugees who come with a clean credit score and get sold cars etc they can’t afford when they go to buy something affordable.

@@blondesense1708 maan, I am so sorry you went thru that. I on the other hand suffered and I did it to myself because I was young and didn't know. I had to bump my head to learn unfortunately. But I learned and that's all that matters lol

Melli. At 18 I bought an expensive coat I borrowed the money from my father and paid him back a £1 a week until cleared. At 19 she's classified as an adult. NO EXCUSES FOR HER IRRESPONSIBILITY.

@@blondesense1708 I screwed up my life with credit when I was in my 20's and didn't really figure it out until my mid 30's, after bankruptcy and other issues. But today's kids have the option in almost 50% of schools to take a program that teaches about credit, taxes, savings, budgeting and investing all authored by Dave Ramsey who is the financial guru in my opinion. Unfortunately that's only half of schools and it's not mandatory and equally unfortunate is that many kids will get financial advice from people like this young lady did and be told it's all right to get a loan to get out of debt. I know, I got that exact same advice from someone I thought was pretty smart 25 years ago and it only made things worse.

Exactly. She's 21. She will learn from this, I'm sure. Many people make financial mistakes at that age.

@@Dymsx86 Exactly!!!

Totally agree; been there, done that myself when I was that age.

@@jcchristopher1417 right! A lot of us made bad choices as teens!!

Thank you. Yes she should pay, but she is young and making mistakes like everyone else

Parents should teach us then.

".... this amazing girl"? Did I miss the part where she cured cancer?

​@@IDONTLIKETHATSHIT😂 sounds like you're confused with what makes a amazing doctor/scientist

@@sparrowhawk5673 Sounds like you're confused with the English language.

@@IDONTLIKETHATSHIT if your definition of a daughter is to cure cancer. Then I feel sorry for any kids you have. For them to ever be considered amazing in your eyes 🙄

She is not amazing. She uses people and she does not have integrity.

I just want the defendant to hold her head up high, shoulders back and good posture. She's beautiful and honestly seemed so sweet and respectful. Something has her down on herself. Sad.

Ironic how nobody gives kudos to the one who brought her to court considering the amount of money and leniency she offered her. Instead the defendant only shows resentment

@@sparrowhawk5673 when did she show resentment? she clearly said they had no bad blood and she agreed when the judge said she wasn't an evil stepmother. the stepmother wasn't bitter about the situation why are you?

Excuse after excuse. Get a f/t job!

​@@sparrowhawk5673- Agreed. She doesn't like the plaintiff until she needs to use her. The plaintiff was sooo nice & lenient to the defendant, but she just used her and losed her! Then she doesn't care enough to TRY to pay her back before a very high interest starts accruing. ALL she had to do was get a F/T job. That's it!!! And people say she's a good kid who tried??!! Hah! She didn't try at all. Then she (very nicely) assaults her in court!

Well to be fair, even biological parents tend to treat their children according to the way they feel about the other parent. Once a divorce/ break up happens, most men want to forget about or shun the kids they made with the ex and start all over again. The defendant is not her biological child so her feelings are completely normal.

@@Childfree334 I don't doubt that she doesn't care for her, but I hate that she pretended to like her because she was married to her father. The faking upsets me personally.

@@cynthiavaldez7127 Yes! I liked everything about the defendant EXCEPT this. It was too obvious that she was lying about how she felt about the step-mom, only confirmed when the step-mom revealed the defendant texted her "I will never speak to you again."

Sunday Davis “Most men’? I hope that’s an exaggeration. That’s like me saying that most divorced women poison the kids’ minds about their father and/or keep the ex away from their kids. Btw, Sunday is a great first name, if it really is. Is there a story behind it?

@@TenMoogles right I think she was just putting on show. Cause we know how this goes... you don’t want to look bad in front of the judge. Plus don’t air out too much family drama. She got free family trips that the stepmom isn’t asking for back. Plus I’m sure she needs her money. Idk how many other kids she has but that’s a lot of money to spend on any kid and not be tuition for school or something of value. It’s for debt... so this is a lesson for her too.

My ex friends who married ask there family for money never pay them back then when thing happens to them that always run to them 🤣🤣 that even scam me for 20 forget about it I lost them for 20like sonny said on the movie a Bronx tale

What is crazy is the amount of people who continued to help them.

YALL NEED TO STOP BEING STUPID, THEY WON'T GET WHAT YALL DON'T GIVE

Unfortunately there are users in this world who are strangers and family users. I also had the same problem lost 20 dollars but that’s all they got from me. Love them still and I’m glad I only lost 20 dollars from the mistake I made. That’s first and last time I gave them money. Now they moocher off other family members and friends financially as well. Her ex best friend has filed a lawsuit against them recently so miss moocher is gonna learn a lesson on the price you pay when you rip off people.

👀 No ma'am. My cousin lent his best friend $1500 and then after his mom passed away, he still was trying to manipulate money from him. We stepped in and cut that off. He made my cousin feel so guilty for not helping him he was about to take the funeral donations and give it to him. Now his ex friend is living in a 5 bedroom house with his new girlfriend after winning $100,000in the lottery. Never seen a dime from him.

Yes I heard that.

I loved that part 😂

Yea I was like ummmm??? 🤣 she’s sweet though lol

Sum I would say cuz I get nervous

She probably went when she was young so she doesnt really count it. Thats how I answer for lego land, like technically I went but I dont remember

Oh she did say variety of excuses, just none that were acceptable. I had a lot of debt at the time, I only have a part-time job...

No. Telling someone who pays for your hair, nails and makeup isn't an excuse. Pointing out that you are paying the rent and helping your own mother out financially. Isn't and excuse. Also, think about it! She was 19 when she made a mistake on her taxes. She went to her stepmother for help. Any grown adult would know to contact the IRS directly to get that mistake fixed. She was STILL AND CHILD. That is what started this whole debt problem in the first place. But her stepmother decided to just pay it off instead of teaching her how to fix the mistakes with the IRS. Notice how the stepmother is separated from her father and she didn't even bring her youngest son but someone else? No, the child was trying her best and the stepmother made situations worse full well knowing that she was clearly causing the child MORE debts!!

@@wvrjlno she did not have excuses these were REASONINGS on why she couldn’t pay. Y’all are so quick to call something an excuse but if she PHYSICALLY couldn’t pay it and provide a reason why thats legit then it’s not an excuse. It’s not like she wanted the loan to be a gift she completely understood she owes her, she just needs time, the judge would literally asked her “oh why couldn’t u pay” and she told her 😂

Actually, she made about 5 excuses.

But she was honest about that with her tho...🤷‍♂️

Yep! Exactly it👏🏾 Trying to “keep up with the Jones’s “ all the whole don’t even have the money 🤦🏾‍♀️

I think the defendant is really acting sweet n silly to gain sympathy. She really is devious if you listen carefully.

@@sasziy375 BINGO, she knows how to play it

@@sasziy375 It's funny to me that when the defendant is pretty & polite & soft-spoken, all the commenters are like "Aw, she's just young, she just made a mistake, she's still learning, blah blah blah" If she was ugly, all those comments would be completely different. :) Yours is one of the very few here that didn't assume what her true character is like based on her appearance.

That $8000 bal wasn't the defendants.

This is the kind of stuff that can happen with good credit and a high income. Instead of getting your starter credit card that has a 3 to $500 limit with good credit and the right amount of income you can get a credit card with thousands of dollars in credit available to you IMMEDIATELY. That kind of spending power is just too much for some people. You heard the defendant say they were putting vacations on that credit card.

Yea, I wasn't feeling her vibes either. And yes, I'd sue him before I sue his babies! 😂😂

Yeah, I wasn't feeling how the plaintiff added way more interest than the defendant earned on that card and claimed she was owed that amount. I really hope it was an honest mistake and not her trying to get more out of the defendant.

How do you know the ex husband is lame? Maybe the ex wife is impossible to make happy? I've met people that if they do you even a very small favor for you it isn't because they're nice or caring, it's because they wanna feel superior or have leg up on you. Make you feel endentured to them even though you paid them back.

shes no child.

@@marilynwillett804 she’s also barely an adult when she was loaned all that money. No one (unless they have help) is stable at that age. And she clearly wasn’t.

I don’t believe in loaning kids money. If you have the money to spare just give it to them. What’s with this loan nonsense? If your neighbor need car work then make it a loan…not your kids or parents.

THIS!!! Like she’s barely starting her adult life. Yes everyone make financial mistakes but if the adults in their life are willing to help it should be because they Have the means to help, not no I’m gonna stretch myself to help you.

@@marilynwillett804 that’s just dumb. She was a child when the “loan” began. 19. Freshly out of high school. In my eyes, you’re still a kid till your insurance rates no longer see you as a child. AKA 25. PERIOD.

How she shady??? She help that girl multiple times her own mother dont even help

What about what she did makes her shady? It's been over 2 years since she helped this girl out. If course she's upset that she hasn't been paid back and is feeling slighted after doing so much to help her. I think giving her so much time to make payments was more than fair. I think they both seem like nice ladies and I hope they can work things out because the step daughter clearly needs some one stable in her life. If her other family members had been more helpful to her she might not have ever ended up in this situation in the first place.

Oh, you mean like paying her back before she starts accruing almost 25% interest per year?!!! 1) I personally would NOT loan money I didn't have to loan. 2) She gave her more & more time to pay it back, and she didn't even TRY. It's the stepdaughter that has two sides. Appears sweet and cute, but is not. ALL this lazy girl has to do is get a F/T job!!!!!!

I agree with you. I think the stepmom is…difficult. 🥴

Huh? Both parties were civil. However, I don't think the Stepmom has an evil bone in her body. All she ever did was try to help, but now she needs to be complete because this situation was riding out far too long.

Omg yes you can definitely see her darkness.

@@raflim Nor do you know the ''backstory''. I am going by what I saw. She is a liar. What liars do is lie, therefore they have no honor. Liars have no credibility, remember that next time a liar takes advantage of you. You have been warned.

That's not what she meant. She was referring to patching things up with the Defendant. She already stated that she and the girl's father were divorcing. There would be no reason for the two of them to make up if they were about to go their separate ways. Her youngest son is also the son of her husband, making him a blood relative of the Defendant. Because of that, they will continue to be peripherally a part of each other's worlds. It was just really poorly worded...

Get u...im in the same situation lol

morally and legally the wife comes first. marriage comes before blood according to the bible.

Probably just describing it like that for the show

@@marilynwillett804 Well....a lot if the Bible is made up so......

Yep - both about helping the bio mom financially AND paying rent. Later, the defendant said she gave half of every paycheck to her mother. So sad, especially at that age.

so now that you did it , tell mom to make a budget.

That actually says a lot about her, that she was willing to borrow against her credit in order to help this young lady out of a jam.

@@VoltairesRevenge true but she expected the money back from someone who was clearly not financially responsible. She could’ve found other ways to help her or lent a smaller amount

Mean, evil, step-mother... are you KIDDING? This women takes on a child that is not hers. Takes her on expensive trips, adds her to phone plan, gets her a nice phone. She takes on the girls debt as her own, with no gain for herself, but just to try and help this girl out. That doesn't seem like a mean, evil step-mother. I've seen 'mean, evil, step-mothers' & they are NOTHING like this women. I've seen women that won't have anything to do with a child that isn't their own blood. Real mean, evil bitches, who hurt children, scar children, not just physically but mentally & emotionally as well. I've had to testify against women who have broken the literal spirit of a child, all because they didn't want them to be apart of their fathers life. These women basically abuse these poor children, (there are plenty of men 'step-dads' that do the same thing) just because the child is not theirs. I've had to listen to these poor children tell their story of physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse... & sadly, some of these children commit suicide. This women is far from evil. She actually seems like a very genuine, caring, & good hearted women. She is far from evil or mean. I will always take a stance against child abuse, & help any child who is being abused. I applaud the step-mother for being such a kind person, taking on the responsibility of being a wonderful step-parent, & including this beautiful young lady (she truly is a gorgeous girl... & shes got such a beautiful color, as well). Bless all who read this, & may you all live a full, amazing & most meaningful life.

"no excuses"?? She owed the woman money for over 2 years.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I was in the same position as the plaintiff, but I was very responsible. TBH I would look raggedy to pay my debts.

For me is her attitude. It's clear that something is going on

She was already paying rent an other bills she could of at least give her a break

I think it has something to do with her age and the fact that she was giving her a pass until she got the divorce. When you owe, you owe...but she recognized her hardships until she wasn't with the dad...now she doesn't even talk to her?

@@BurningMarz she gave her two years to pay it back!

What? The individual avoided her for 2 years essentially causing the interest rate to start accumulating and putting her credit score at risk. While that individual who got a second chance to get themselves out of debt just avoided the responsibility. There's two adults in the situation there was not one Stop making excuses for adults...

Yea that evil stepmother should have just paid everything. Even the interest

How is she evil? She helped this girl more than her mother did

Idk.... Everything isn't always as it seems. E.g. if the stepmom is so evil why did she go to her for money ? N if the stepdaughter is so sweet, why would she text her saying she never wants to speak to her in life? Is it a case of being 2faced? I feel the sd is intelligent enough to know that this judge ain't playing so 'play nice' 🤔
