- All rise.
- Hey, y'all, I'm Ms. Pat,

and I know the inside
of a courtroom.

Man, that girl is innocent!

You ain't the damn judge.

Get ready to see
real cases.

I want you out of my house.

Real drama and real money
on the line.

I gave her my kidney.

Give it back.

And I'm bringing my friends
to court as my jury.

Lock her ass up!

Y'all may have started
this mess,

but you know
I'm gonna settle it.

Ms. Pat, Ms. Pat.

You droppin' teeth.

See, that's my tooth.

You smokin' dope.

That was my asthma pump.

Y'all must have
a good time together.

- We do.
- [laughter]

All rise, because court
is back in session.

This is the only courtroom
where petty can get you paid.

All rise for Ms. Pat.

♪♪♪

MS. PAT:
Y'all can have a seat.

So, jury, I want you
to treat this case

the same way you treat

the potato salad at your
potluck at your job, okay?

- What, don't [bleep] with it?
- Throw it away?

No!
Question every damn thing.

- Oh, okay.
- Who made it? What's in it?

All that good stuff.

- This is our job.
- Right.

And I definitely wouldn't
eat potato salad here.

Bailiff,
please start bailiff-ing

before we have to
arrest Karlous.

This is the case
of Jackson versus Shaw.

ANNOUNCER:
Plaintiff Daphne Jackson

is suing her neighbor,
Chyna, for $836.80,

claiming she's owed
months of back payments

for trash removal.

She look like
she about to say,

"Your real teacher
won't be with us today."

- [laughter]
- I might.

ANNOUNCER: Defendant Chyna Shaw
says the trash ain't even hers,

but the messy buildup
caused her to get hit with

a $2,500 sanitation fee.

And now she's countersuing
for full reimbursement.

Before we get started,
I just want to let you know

this is a jury
of my peers,

so don't you get
too snappy with them, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Jackson, you want to tell me
why you're here today?

I'm here because
I moved into a two-family home.

Ms. Shaw is my neighbor.

We share the property upkeep,
which is, you know, the lawn,

front and back,
and take care of the trash.

That hasn't been done.

I have been paying
for four months of payment,

and when I come
to ask her for my money,

it's a problem.

And she has a two-year-old
that I just love,

but when I need my money,
she keeps the baby from me,

and I'm the evil
auntie now.

And it's time
I need my money.

She owes me $836.80

for lawn care
and trash removal.

- That's $836.80.
- Eighty cents?

Mm-hmm.

And you concerned about
that 80 cents?

Yes, ma'am,
because I want it all.

Okay.

All right, well, Ms. Shaw,
tell me why you're here.

What's your side
of this story?

So I'm here to countersue
for $2,500.

I was there first, right?

Everything was mine.

Took my trash out, made sure
my yard looked nice.

I made sure it was done.

Me and baby daddy.
She came in,

I told her, like, yeah,
we can split the trash can.

You can use it this week,
I can use it that week.

Within a month,
all that went downhill.

My week came,

her trash
still in the damn trash.

So I got hit with
a $2,500 sanitation fee...

Whoo!

...because the outside
of the house

looks like a "bando."

Nene, do you know
what a "bando" is?

- [laughter]
- MS. PAT: No?

Now, what is that?

It's an abandoned house
that looks nasty

and raggedy and tore up.

It's an abandoned house.

It's short for "abandoned".

Oh, abandoned?

Oh, I would never
know that one.

So, let me see the proof
and evidence.

CHYNA: That's a lot of money
taken from me.

MS. PAT:
What I want to know is,

did you agree to split
the trash in the lawn bill?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Where did it go wrong at?

When she stopped paying.

No, eh, eh, wrong.

I can't use my trash can.

It's filled to the brim.

Somebody show me this
damn trash can.

- DAPHNE: Yes, ma'am.
- [laughter]

- MS. PAT: What the--?
- Yes.

- NAVV: Oh, man.
- Yes.

That there,
come on, man.

KARLOUS: The more I look at
the pictures.

NENE:
It's some [indistinct].

It's a carton
of chocolate milk.

- It's a--
- We don't drink dairy.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

We don't eat cereal.

Your baby daddy
eat them, then.

- We don't eat cereal.
- [laughter]

Hold up, hold up.
Is the baby daddy here?

MS. PAT:
Sir, please stand up.

Do you eat
Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

- [laughing] Yes.
- Oh.

[laughter]

Case solved, case solved.

I'm sorry.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

MS. PAT:
What I want to know,

if she set up
the trash service

and she was there
before you,

how the hell are you paying
the bill all by yourself?

She couldn't pay it
because she doesn't work.

I'm a home-based hairstylist,
I'm good at it.

I don't got no clients
because the outside

of the house
look like this.

So, all right, just take the
money out of it for one second.

Let's talk about
the relationship.

Let me just say this--
family ain't always

what you're born into,

and it look like y'all
have become a family.

- Mm-hmm.
- And y'all literally have

torn a family damn near apart
over a trash bill.

I'm gonna ask my jury.

Come on, y'all,
help me out here.

Well, first of all,
y'all are three grown people.

To be going back and forth
about some trivial stuff

- like this is petty.
- Okay.

But still,
with that overflow,

y'all could be neater
with that.

That's just, come on.

Y'all nasty.

So I've come to
my final decision,

and I'm gonna settle this
once and for all.

I'm gonna rule in favor of...

...neither one of y'all.

- Aww.
- [applause]

But I do have
something for you.

Calimar.

Y'all live
in this two-family home.

Mm-hmm.

But why a two-family
is sharing one

- curby-curby is insane.
- It is.

So I decided to buy you
a trash can.

[applause]

DAPHNE: Thank you.

Give it to the baby daddy,
he can take it.

Boy, they gonna use
the hell out of you.

And this one
is much bigger.

HUSBAND:
I'm grateful.

You know,
I really hope y'all

put this relationship
back together.

- [trash can bumps]
- [laughter]

- I settled it.
- WOMEN: Thank you.

- Bye.
- [applause]

Thank you.

- My feet hurt, come on.
- Ooh, Lord.

Y'all ever had any beef
with your neighbors?

- No.
- Nene don't have

no damn neighbors, she own
the whole neighborhood.

[laughter]

So you couldn't pay $20

to go to your
girlfriend's birthday party?

I ain't know
if I was her boyfriend.

[laughter]

That's not right, Ms. Pat!

I would like to countersue him
for $124,000.02.

- What?
- Here we go.

A scroll?

What the hell is this?
A Declaration of Appendixes?

Ain't nobody read all this.

How y'all doing, jury?

I feel good as you look,
Ms. Pat.

Oh, well,
you feel good, then.

[laughter]

Let's do it, bailiff.

This is the case
of Zellers versus Norman.

Please enter the courtroom.

ANNOUNCER:
Plaintiff Sharonda Zellers

is suing her ex-boyfriend
Kleon for $1200,

claiming he promised
to cop the expense

for her birthday celebration.

But he ended up ditching
the party and the bill.

Defendant Kleon Norman says
he doesn't owe Sharonda squat.

He didn't promise
to pay for anything.

Plus, they weren't
even official.

No label, no cash.

- All right, Ms. Sharonda?
- Yes.

Do you want to tell me
why you're here today?

So, Ms. Pat,
I'm here bringing

my ex-boyfriend,
Kleon to court,

because he owed me
$1200 for not paying

for my birthday party
section last year,

and I want my money.

What made you think
he was gonna

pay for your birthday party
section last year?

He said he was
gonna do it.

So, what did he do?

Nothing, because he didn't
even call me.

Yo!

Kleon, what's your side
of the story?

I never told her I was gonna
pay for no section.

I attempted to go,
but they told me $20 to park,

so, I just kept on moving.

So, you couldn't pay
$20 to go

to your girlfriend's
birthday party?

I ain't know
I was her boyfriend.

[laughter]

Now, how long
did you date him?

Over a year.

Okay, you dated him
over a year?

Yes.
Ms. Pat, I had keys.

What?

I never gave a girl keys.

I gave her a garage door
opener before.

He don't trust anybody.

That don't mean nothing.

CARMEN: So, you're just
giving keys out

to chicks
that you date?

You gotta lock my door.

I don't want to leave
my door unlocked.

CARMEN:
Yeah, but you gave her keys.

- Ah!
- You better rob his ass.

This is what
I'm talking about.

Was this exclusive?

Yeah, we even
had a threesome, so...

What?

Hey! Oh, my-- what?
A threesome?

- We never did that.
- [laughter]

Did you ever call him
from the club and say,

- "Baby, where you at?"
- Yeah, we was texting.

Can I please see
the text message?

Let Nene and Deray
reenact that.

Welcome to Negro
Readers Theater.

What you wearing, my baby?
LOL.

NENE: I'm wearing that red
that you like, baby.

DERAY:
Send me pictures.

CARMEN: Bam.

Come on, Nene!
Come on, Nene!

NENE: You coming?

DERAY: I'm not coming.

You can come over after,
though.

NENE: Why not?

SHARONDA:
Straight up like that.

That's not right, Ms. Pat,
that's not right.

So, let me back up
a little bit.

So, did you ever talk
to Kleon about

having this party and what you
wanted for your birthday

was a section
at the club?

Because I'm gonna tell you,

with that uncle sweater
he got on,

I don't think he was gonna
pay for no section.

SHARONDA: Ms. Pat,
we talked about it.

That was the first
conversation.

What did he say?

"I'm coming to the party
and I'm gonna

help you pay
for the section."

I'ma help you.

But that's no money amount,
so "I'ma help you"

could be
the whole thing.

Or I'ma just help you
drink the bottles.

I just said "help."

[laughter]

And it was
an older dude there

who probably
paid for it anyway.

Sounds a little
jealous to me.

You saying it was already paid
for or she just trying to...

Trying to get extra money.

I got a video that
I'm paying the waitress.

We could play that.
Can we play that in court?

Yes.

DERAY:
That's you flexing.

Look, you posted it,
because you was flexing.

Is that you dancing, too?

CARMEN:
Oh, you dancing.

DERAY: You dancing
like you paying it?

Because I'm in the moment,
it's my birthday,

I'm having fun.

There's an older
bald-headed dude in the back

who gave her that money,
I'm telling you.

He don't know that.

Yes or no, did some man
give you money that night?

That don't have
nothing to do with what

we're talking about
right now.

MS. PAT:
You are under oath.

I don't even know
who you're talking about.

You know what?
Let me say this to you.

It's her birthday.

And for you not to show up,
that had to hurt her.

And I understand that

you didn't want to
pay for the section.

Whether it's $1200 or not,

even if you showed up
with that ugly-ass sweater on

she would have understood
if you didn't have it.

- Mm-hmm.
- Do you still like her?

- That's my baby.
- Okay.

Have you tried
to make it up to her?

I brought her something
to the courtroom.

Oh, you did?

It's the small things
that matters.

- NAVV: Kleon!
- Whoo!

[applause]

She'll be back
tonight, Kleon!

So is this
your apology, Kleon?

Yeah, it's a happy birthday
again, Sharonda.

CARMEN:
Happy birthday again.

DERAY: Bald-head guy gonna
jump out the cake.

CARMEN: Tell us how this
makes you feel.

You got tears in your eyes.

- No, not really.
- NENE: Yes, you do.

- That was sweet.
- SHARONDA: I'm appreciative.

It's the small things.

You up.

All right, I'm gonna go
to my jurors.

Tell me what you think, baby.

He should have been there
and he should have paid.

I would want my man
to come in and flex

and let all my
girlfriends know,

we got it, we up,
we up, we up.

You didn't even have
a good excuse.

You could have at least
got yourself locked up

and then you was
in jail, you know?

So, I'm gonna settle this
once and for all.

I'm ruling in favor of...

- ...the plaintiff.
- [applause]

Sharonda, I'm giving you
something called a girl tax.

Kleon, you are ordered
to pay Sharonda $1200.

And the reason why
I'm making you pay her $1200,

that's an asshole tax
for you.

What you did was
lowdown and dirty.

You're too old to be
playing these games

with such
a beautiful woman.

- Dang.
- I just settled it.

Get out of my courtroom.

- CARMEN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [applause]

She like that toxicity,
because he toxic,

that's why you like him.

MS. PAT: I wouldn't put up
with that crap.

I would beat him up.

[laughter]

All right, bailiff,
next case.

Do you have proof
of what she asking you?

MAN: Yes, I do.

KARLOUS:
Money owed.

Gas $31.20.

$75 for car maintenance.

You charged this boy
$1.67 to drop him off

at the Hertz rental car?

He literally getting charged

every time he move
or breathe in this house.

MS. PAT:
How y'all doing jury?

- CARMEN: Amazing.
- JASMIN: Hanging in there.

Ha-ha!

I cannot-- I need to switch
seats next time.

I can't deal with
this shit.

Bailiff, please start
bailiff-ing.

This is the case
of Brown versus Brown.

Oh, these better not be
my cousins.

ANNOUNCER: Plaintiff Chase Brown
is suing his mom,

who is also his landlord,
for $2400 because he said

she is overcharging him
for rent.

It's taking a toll,
and he's starting to unravel.

Defendant Courtney Brown
says she doesn't owe him

any money and that
what he pays barely

covers his portion
of the billS.

She is also countersuing Chase
for $124,000.02,

and has brought
a mountain of evidence.

...nothing but the truth,
so help you, God?

- COURTNEY: Yes.
- CHASE: Yes.

Chase, tell me why
you're here today.

I'm here to sue my mother,
Courtney Brown,

for $2400
due to rent overcharge.

Started off at $25 a week
and now it's $300 a week.

I'm only 20 years old
and I'm a college student.

I cannot afford $300 a week.

Hmm. Well, let me hear
your side of the story.

- Your Highness...
- [laughter]

...first of all, I don't even
think he got the amount right.

How much you charging?

$210 a week.

- He just said it was $300.
- He's lying.

He's a liar.
And he lied under oath.

Throw him in jail,
immediately.

What was your
original agreement

with you and your mom,
Chase?

Back in 2021, she was like,

okay, you can't just
live here for free, right?

- COURTNEY: True.
-Got to pay $25 at least a week.

But when I saw this year
that it went up to $300

every single week, I was like,
okay, I can't afford that,

it's draining me
financially.

She has my information.

She'll just go in my bank
account and take it out.

MS. PAT: You take it out of
his bank account?

He won't give it to me
if I don't.

Where you work at?

I'm a door dasher.

Okay, and are you in
school full-time?

Yes. I'm in school
to be a therapist.

I have a psychology major.

Why are you charging him
so much rent?

The reason why
I was charging him

was for the bills
that he accrued

because all the bills
in the house went up.

The mortgage went up,
electricity went up.

And he has a high car note
and high car insurance.

What kind of car you have?

He got a Toyota Camry.

What year is your car?

2020.

Well, how is a car note high?
It's a 2020.

- That's what I'm saying.
- It's $500.

That's about right.

Plus, it's around $300
for his car insurance.

Oh, and Ms. Pat, I would also
like to counter-sue him

for $124,000.02.

What?

And, and I have evidence
right here in my briefcase.

- Bailiff, give me that.
- Here we go.

- Here you go.
- [laughter]

A scroll?

Is this a Declaration
of Appendixes?

[laughter]

Defamation of character,
$50,000.

Busted my body up after giving
birth to him, $30,000.

COURTNEY: Amen!

I want my body back.
I want my body back.

Credit card interest,
$5,000.

My Delta SkyMiles, $5,000.

Personal assistance,
$5,000.

Unpaid living expense,
$3,530.

AMEX reimbursement, $750.

I ain't about to read
all this.

Do you have proof
of what she asking you?

- Yes, I do.
- Okay, let me have it.

Can Carmen read this?

"Good morning,
my handsome king.

"I hope you slept well and have
a wonderful, blessed day

and accomplish all your goals
and are successful."

Wow, I don't need
to read nothing else.

A loving
and supportive mother.

This is a gift
from God right here.

Look at the message
under it.

Please look at
the message under it.

SAFAREE: Money owed.

Gas, $31.20.

$75 for car maintenance.

Chick-fil-A, $7.33.

KARLOUS: He getting charged
for everything.

You charge this boy $1.67

to drop him off
at the Hertz rental car?

He literally
getting charged

every time he move
or breathe in this house.

He is being selfish
and ungrateful and don't

understand how good
he has it.

You better respect me
up in this courtroom.

Don't make me
come over there,

because that bailiff
can't save your ass.

[laughter]

ANNOUNCER:
Chase Brown is suing his mom,

Courtney Brown, for $2400,

he says she's
overcharged him in rent.

Courtney says
he's an ungrateful son

and is countersuing
for $124,000.02 for, well,

just about everything.

Ms. Pat's done
kidding around

with this kid
versus mom dispute.

Chase, did you ever
ask your mother,

why does she keep
going up on your rent?

I try to,
every single time I do,

"You owe me, you owe me,"

That's why.

And then
the conversation's over.

Is that what you say
to him?

He does owe me.

You got to pay me back.

You have to pay me back.

Do you need
the money from him?

Yes, if I didn't need it,
I wouldn't ask for it.

I have lupus,
I'm on disability,

and I have
a set income every month.

Well, let me go
to the jury.

Now, if he was 42,
you'd be doing everything right.

Well, he's 22.

Give him
a little bit more time.

KARLOUS: You do
got to understand that

your son is going to have to go
into the world one day,

and you don't want him
to develop

a bitterness or a hatred.

[applause]

So I've come to
my final decision,

and I'm going to settle this
once and for all.

I'm ruling in favor of...

...the defendant, Courtney.

You don't owe Chase
anything.

But listen, listen.

I'm going to be, from
one mother to the next.

Just like Karlous said,
the boy can't even breathe.

- You're killing this boy.
- He is killing me.

I always make sure
his stuff is taken care of...

- But listen to me.
- ...before mine is.

Can you shut the hell up?

Courtney, give him a little
slack and let him stay there.

He's in school.

He's a--
Listen to me.

He's a Black man in school,

and he's the first
Black man

that walked
in this courtroom

that's not trying
to be a [bleep] rapper.

And I'm serious.

And I'm asking you, from one
Black mama to the other.

Stop beating on him
before he give up

because we're running
out of Black men.

- I'm sorry.
- I've been there.

I see myself in you.

And somebody had to pull me
to the side and say that.

I thought I was teaching him
how to be responsible.

No, it's not, because we're
the only race of people

that try to teach our kids

by throwing them
out of the door.

COURTNEY: I didn't realize
I was doing that.

I don't want him to feel
bitter towards me.

I want him to know
that I am his safe space.

- Pull back off your baby.
- I will.

And I'm telling you,
once he become this doctor

or whatever he's going
to school to be,

I truly believe
he's gonna look out for you.

- Am I right, Chase?
- Yes.

Don't you disappoint me.

So, the countersuit,
though.

I threw that shit
so far out of here.

[laughter]

- Okay.
- Ain't no countersuit.

Okay, okay.

Can I see y'all hug?

- You're an amazing mother.
- I love you, baby.

- I love you, too.
- I love you.

Now, that settles it.

Get y'all ass
out of my courtroom.

- Love y'all.
- Thank you.

Yo, what was in
the garbage bag?

Receipts. Receipts.

Stop.
Twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk.

CARMEN:

Hold up,
