The plaintiff is a home health aide and worked for the defendant. She claims the defendant treated her more like a servant, so she’s suing for unpaid wages. The defendant thinks the plaintiff is suing for more than she owes.
Yes indeed, she has the patience of Job! That woman is old and cantankerous for no reason. She should beg the plaintiff to return. Her next care giver may be a thief, abusive, etc.
She was an educator. Educators are used to telling others what to do, especially if she taught for 30-40 years. It’s not an excuse to be mean, but the defendant is definitely having a hard time with accepting that she needs to let go and let others help her now.
Even if her kids live in another state if you havent even spoke with your mothers health care worker on the phone that shows you her kids don't mess with her
Just because you're old doesn't give you the green light and the ok to do whatever you please. This is when your children should step in to take care of you if they care about your wellbeing. The defendant shouldn't be driving at all.
My mom will be 72 next month and getting to the point where she shouldn't be driving (as much). But any time we try to have this conversation with her, she raises holy hell. No one can reason with her...my dad, my grandma, my aunts (her mom and sisters), my sisters, me...she just makes excuses and gets downright combative. So I just bought my son a car for his senior year so he won't have to ask (her) for rides. I'll be getting my daughter a car next year for the same reason.
Being old is no excuse to be nasty. And it’s the mean ones that are always demanding respect and feeling disrespected when they are the ones that are disrespectful. Ms. Willa is mean and I believe she treated the plaintiff like she was beneath her. The plaintiff should’ve went ahead to law school like she started. She will never get paid enough to deal with this kind of mess.
The defendant lost a good, respectable HHA. She felt superior and treated the plaintiff with inferiority. Kudos to you for taking her to court. Trust she meets her real match. I say no more.
@@user-xe9lq1dg6iThey are from that generation where educators were highly respected in the Black Community. They were held in the same regard as lawyers, doctors, etc. so they “comported” themselves as such.
I agree with you. When they brought up her children, their response was everything. If you are responsible for taking care of my mother, I would have met you. I don't think that she has a good relationship with her kids.
So because you're old you can be rude and put others life at risk? Got it. But glad he actually let the plaintiff win cause I sure did think that she was gonna lose 😅
@@leelew.1462it was reverse psychology. I’d say the defendant fell for it but even if JM hadn’t said that I’m convinced she’d have given the same “I’m grown” speech.
@@rosalindmize3919 Right. Sometimes they were rude when they were young. This is from an old woman (not as old as the defendant, but I have relatives her age and older and they ARE something else and they kinda always were.)
She's lucky she got this nice woman because a lot of CNAs do not care and will rob you blind. It happened to my uncle, stole his money and left him to die.
Judge Mathis shouldn't have joked with the Defendant about driving at age of 83,she should realize that elderly drivers are dangerous. Eventhough the defendant said, she hadn't ever had an accident, their reactions are not as acute. Their driving judgment ISNT always correct The defendant should let the caregiver, drive het,then if the defendant, wants to drive on her own,do it by herself.
Just because you're old doesn't mean you can be nasty and expect someone to care for you when you clearly can't care for yourself. But hey what do I know?!
The defendant has no business driving. Her children would need to intervene based on her caregiver’s observations! We had to take the keys from our 89 year old Father. It wasn’t easy! But we had to do it! It was for his safety and everyone else ! When your parents began to age, the roles are reversed! You have to be prepared to take the responsibility. Prayers for the plaintiff and the defendant! 🙏🏽
I commend the plaintiff. She’s on point with her case and just because the defendant is mean as all get out she still stood her ground, respectfully as well as professionally!
Now Judge Mathis. You know that the Defendant's Kids can't say anything to her. She's part of what's toxic about older People. The Plaintiff remained classy and sweet. I bet, that she's great at her Profession. The Defendant thinks that being "Disrespectful", is having your own mind. And standing up for yourself, I've seen this too many times. And I Love older people as well. I actually prefer them, over people in my age range.
When he asked her profession, I called it. Teacher. Because she reminds me of the direction my 72 year old mom is headed. They say doctors make the worst patients. Well teachers make the worst listeners 🥴🥴🥴. My dad is still around, so he'll take her to his jobs sometimes or drive her around to distract her from her getting behind the wheel and driving. But the fussing he has to put up with, cuz my mom is getting MEAN...whew! God bless his patience. But if you outright tell my mom she doesn't need to be driving, get ready for a verbal assault. They're mentally competent enough to function, so you can't tell them ANYTHING. We've put a location tracker on her phone, though...smh...but telling her kids ain't gonna do anything because she's not going to listen to them, either! I really hope that my dad is still vibrant once I get the last of my kids off to college in 2025. I want to buy him his dream car as a thank you for all he endures...ESPECIALLY now with my mom.
I don’t think JM pressured issue of her driving at 83 because for what? Y’all see that this old lady isn’t going to listen to anyone. I think he was just trying to keep the case from escalating by joking and being patient. Even when he joked with her, she snapped her head. Smh. There’s no reasoning with her.
I think the plaintiff is so pretty! Some people got a smile that will light up the room right along with their eyes 😊 Blessings to her and hers and to you all reading this. 😊🙏🏼
This is conflict of personality. The defendant has domineering attitude, it transpires when speaking. And the plaintiff looks like she respects her job and she should be doing it right. And she does all her best to avoid confrontation. Good for her.
I KNOW HOW SHE FEELS!!! It takes a special kind of heart to cater to the elderly, the abused, the sickly, and the homeless. So it is offensive, when you are being treated badly. We are simply trying to help you.
I’m glad the Plaintiff handled this situation the way she did. I believe the defendant did everything the plaintiff said she did. She wanted an on call servant and maid. She didn’t want to get help bc she’s grown and can take care of herself
I know quite a few people who are Home Health Aides. The clients so think they have a maid. Some of them are approved for assistance but wants the aid to to everything while their big grown children sit back and watch
Very wise elderly women, God bless her she set in her ways, she reminds me of my mother very strong minded. The Home health aid has a beautiful soul and a great deal of patience. Both wonderful people, glad the plaintiff was paid the defendant herself said she did a good job🙏.
I’m so grateful my grandmothers were so gentle to me and others. They were both ultra feminine, classy, educated home owners. I even had the opportunity to see them upset and they still didn’t lose their pose and regality! This defendant has a lot of masculine energy, she reminds me of my granny’s younger sister. My great aunt is very educated but very mean! She tries to be gentle with me like her sister was, but she has a very mean spirit. It scares me to be old and mean to people on the last leg of my life
Her 83 year old mean self. My grandma was so sweet all the way to 90 yo. 😮so sad … she could have had a sweet worker till the end of her life. If she caught what JM was saying “smoke all you want” means you on your way out of here 😮
That lady mean as heck! And ran everyone off, my granny the same way! Ran us all off and now sitting at home with nobody to take care of her! Won’t even let a health aide take care of her and our hands are tied because the doctors keep saying she’s in her right mind .. but she’s not and she’s over there just wasting away
The way she did her voice was like those tv shows where everybody tells their side of the story and portray the other person as exaggeratedly mean. LOL
Ms. Willard reminds me of that little girl that was going off on her daycare provider saying " Listen linda, I can't wait to get away from you and these kiiids!" Lol They look & sound alike, have the same mannerisms and attitude.
The Defendant is an angry, cantankerous woman. It's no wonder her children are not her Caregivers.The Plaintiff is a beautiful, patient, and lovely woman.
Ms. Willard seems amazing. Blessings to her! She navigates tough situations extremely well. She would be a great person to have on your team and she deserves respect!
Im not quite sure if it's HIS age or what but JM just goes on and on and talks WAY too much and goes overboard with the "having fun" with people during MOST of his cases...I truly hate that I can't watch him like I used to simply because of that😢🤦🏾♀️
I believe every word that the plaintiff said. I wasn’t a care taker but I tried to care for my elderly neighbor. Who I’d known since a child and coincidentally moved next door to her as an adult. . I quickly realized why her family didn’t come around. She was old a pain in the butt. Always complaining, smart mouth, bossy, rude, talk to me any kind of way, just I remembered as a kid
Our society is really plauged with some serious ageism. People leave jobs all their time due to an imperfect relationship with their employer. The plantiff leaving her job has nothing do with defendants age.
I wish the Plaintiff could of got a lot more money. She had to wait to get paid. And plus care providers don't get paid enough for all they have to do and deal with. Thats a hard Job.... Good Job Home Team ❤❤❤❤
It is very obvious that the defendant probably does not need any assistance from her children, but there's absolutely no way my mother would have been in court without me sitting behind her just for support.
@@urluvizmyluv1999 well, I didn't sense that from her. But we don't know these people, so I'm definitely not going to judge in that manner... Especially by being an elderly lady. The elderly people that came before us went through so much, it's understandable that they have some resentment and possibly a little bit of hatefulness in them. I am grateful for their Journey
When she started working for me, she did nice work. I take care of myself, I am grown. Yeah defendant definitely a piece of work. That statement alone!
I agree with respecting our elders, BUT, because you are an elder, and have " paid your dues", does NOT give you the right to be disrespectful, mean and nasty.
I have to disagree judge. I've seen plenty of nurses that do this type of work for the money and not because they like to serve the elderly. Maybe he hasn't seen the videos of nurses abusing the elderly.
I love my elders, but let's be trutfhful... older people can be cantankerous, crotchety, churlish, and surly. I mean downright cruel, but still somewhat loving... esp when they're highly independent. You can be old yourself, but if youre 10-20yrs younger than them, they see you as a child, and you can't tell them nothing... 😆 You can hang it up... But again, truthfully... once they hit about 80, they've earned that right, and they literally mean no harm, they can't harm you, other than their sharp tongue. I like Ms Willa, I'd love to just sit back, listen about her experiences, and her life journey. Those are the best documentaries. ❤
@@evonza4858 i was blessed to have in my village, elders born in the 1890s, and afterwards, who really taught me... most our fokes born before 1940 are dying off, with it, alot of great pearls, nuggets, and gems... how do I miss'm... she kinda reminds me of Mother Jefferson, just a wee bit 😆
@@davoiceofreason7 l agree 🥰but at least she's honest and the younger lady reminds me of some younger people who think they could get over on older people but she picked the wrong woke Sista🤭❤️🖤💚🥰
Damn she a mean old lady smh. My mother's a hha and I've heard of plenty of elders like her. Like ma'am your age doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful
JM needs to stop it......83 is a blessing but don't give u the right to do whatever it's still limitations especially in traffic n treating ppl right.....I know exactly how the worker feel I've been in Healthcare for 13 years
I just like to give a special shout-out to the elderly people that are kind. I don't know this senior citizens situation totally. I do know for a fact there are senior citizens that's when I feel that they are above the law and they don't feel the need to talk down to people. I can pray when I get older that I get better with time as far as trying to be positive. Whatever the case I'm glad that they were able to work it out.
I don't agree. Just because you're 83 doesn't give her the right to endanger her passengers and act rude. I'm 60. I was taught to respect elders but these new old heads test your patience. If she's that independent to drive, she can take care of herself. Her kids would put her in a home. This plaintiff was kind and patient, education doesn't give you the right to talk down to people.
Problem is most care givers treat the elderly like children. Aunts and uncles treat my grandma like a child and catch hell for it, my pops treat her like she still has authority and is treated much differently
If defendant doesn’t drive responsibly, she needs to stop driving for the safety of other drivers and their family. Shame on you judge for promoting this. She may not have had an accident, but there is always a first one.
Ms. Willard was a mess in court so I can only imagine the hell she gave the plaintiff when working for her. I love how Judge Mathis has a way with people. He was able to speak in a language that Ms. Williard could receive criticism. How about that look on Doyle face when Judge said the defendant could drive his car...lol.
