As a legal reality show, Judge Judy explores real life disputes between people seeking justice. Season 23 episode 83 titled "Kicked Back Home to Saudi Arabia?!; Wake Up! You're a Squatter!" follows this same format. In this episode, we meet two parties with different complaints that require the intervention of a legal expert.
In the first case, a young man from Saudi Arabia rents a room in the United States from a woman named Karima. According to him, she kicked him out of the room in the middle of the night without warning and refused to return his deposited money. But Karima argues that the man was a liar and she had every right to kick him out of her house. She alleges that the young man smashed her vanity mirror and stole valuables from her house. Judge Judy listens to both sides of the story and tries to find out the truth about what really happened. She scrutinizes the evidence presented, including photos taken by Karima, and tries to figure out who is telling the truth. Will the charming young man from Saudi Arabia walk home with his money and reputation intact, or will Karima prove her case?
In the second case, Judge Judy hears the story of a woman named Nancy, who claims that a former friend of hers named Cynthia has been living in her house without permission for months. Nancy notes that she took Cynthia in when she was homeless, but things took a turn for the worse when Cynthia began to refuse to leave. Nancy now wants her out but Cynthia is refusing to leave, claiming that she has nowhere else to go. Cynthia contends that she has a verbal agreement with Nancy allowing her to stay in the house, while Nancy argues that they never discussed a long-term living arrangement. Both parties present their case to Judge Judy, who considers the evidence and attempts to determine whether Cynthia is a squatter or a tenant.
