Judge Judy Season 21 Episode 7 Baby Daddy Bye Bye!; Haircutting Double-Talk?

In the seventh episode of Judge Judy's twenty-first season, titled "Baby Daddy Bye Bye!; Haircutting Double-Talk?", the no-nonsense judge presides over two cases involving family drama and deceit.

In the first case, a young woman is suing her ex-boyfriend for unpaid rent and utilities. She claims that he was supposed to contribute to their shared expenses while they lived together, but instead he spent his money on partying and drugs. The defendant argues that he did pay her some money and that she had agreed to pay for most of the bills herself.

As the case unfolds, Judge Judy quickly gets to the heart of the matter. She points out that the defendant has already been ordered to pay child support for his infant daughter with the plaintiff, but he has not been doing so. She also notes that the defendant has a history of drug abuse and has been in and out of jail. She ultimately orders him to pay the full amount owed for rent and utilities, and warns him to start being a responsible father to his child.

In the second case, a hairstylist is suing a former coworker for stealing her customers and damaging her reputation. The plaintiff claims that the defendant, who also works as a hairstylist, deliberately misled her clients into thinking that she was the better stylist and caused them to stop coming to the plaintiff's salon. The defendant denies any wrongdoing and says that the clients chose to switch to her out of their own free will.

Judge Judy delves into the details of the case and asks both parties about their practices and communication with clients. She also examines some of the text messages and social media posts presented as evidence. She ultimately decides that the defendant did engage in unfair competition and slandering of the plaintiff's business, and orders her to pay compensation.

Throughout both cases, Judge Judy provides her signature blunt commentary and tough-but-fair approach to determining the truth and delivering justice. The episodes showcases the real-life conflicts that can arise between acquaintances, coworkers, and romantic partners, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions.
