Judge Judy Season 18 Episode 169 Sex for Dental Work?; Roommate Rift
- March 10, 2014
In season 18 episode 169 of the popular courtroom TV show Judge Judy, a case is presented where a woman is suing her former roommate. The plaintiff claims that the defendant owes her rent and utility bills, as well as money for dental work that was promised in exchange for sexual favors.
The episode starts with Judge Judy introducing the case and asking the plaintiff to present her side of the story. The woman explains that she had been living with the defendant for several months and that they had agreed to split the rent and utility bills equally. However, the defendant stopped paying her share and eventually moved out without giving notice.
The plaintiff also claims that the defendant promised to pay for her dental work in exchange for sexual favors. She says that she agreed to the arrangement because she needed the dental work done and couldn't afford it otherwise. However, the defendant never followed through on her promise and the plaintiff was left with the bills.
The defendant denies the plaintiff's allegations and claims that she moved out because the plaintiff was a terrible roommate. She says that the plaintiff was messy and didn't clean up after herself, and that she also brought home a lot of questionable people. The defendant also denies ever agreeing to pay for the plaintiff's dental work in exchange for sexual favors.
Judge Judy listens to both sides of the story and then starts asking questions to uncover more details. She asks the plaintiff why she agreed to such an arrangement, and the woman explains that she was desperate to get the dental work done and that the defendant had offered to help. Judge Judy then turns to the defendant and asks why she would make such a promise, and the woman simply says that she never did.
The judge then asks the plaintiff whether she has any proof of the agreement, such as text messages or emails. The plaintiff says that she doesn't have anything in writing, but that the defendant did mention it several times in person. Judge Judy seems skeptical of this claim, pointing out that it's hard to prove something that was only said verbally.
The episode then turns to the issue of the unpaid rent and utility bills. The plaintiff presents evidence showing that the defendant was supposed to pay her share, but never did. However, the defendant claims that the plaintiff also owed her money for various expenses, and that the two of them were supposed to settle up at the end of their lease.
Judge Judy ultimately decides that the defendant did owe the plaintiff for the unpaid rent and utility bills, as well as for the promised dental work. However, she also finds that the plaintiff owed the defendant money for certain expenses, and subtracts that amount from the total she awards to the plaintiff. In the end, the defendant is ordered to pay the plaintiff a significant sum of money.
The episode ends with Judge Judy delivering one of her famous one-liners, reminding the defendant of the importance of living up to your promises. The plaintiff leaves the courtroom victorious, while the defendant looks disappointed and maybe even a little embarrassed. It's another satisfying episode of Judge Judy, filled with drama and tension as the two sides battle it out in front of the tough but fair judge.
