So the judge basically just called a litigant a prostitute today.
Odd case. Started out like a million others, a short pudgy white woman suing her ex, a tall thin black man, for she-says-they're-loans and he-says-they're-gifts. $3,000, a little at a time, every few weeks, over a 3 year period.
Turns out she had a regular boyfriend and the defendant was her "side guy". But he was cool with it! The judge even called him a gigolo and he smiled. So rather than loans, he figured the money she gave him was more for 'services rendered' that anything else.
She had a recording of him admitting he owed her the money, but the way he answered on tape and the circumstances surrounding the call, he was at a funeral, led the judge to discount the evidence. Then she basically said, if this is how you want to live your life, with a boyfriend and some sex on the side, you have to expect to pay for it in some way, then the judge shrugged and said, "it's the world's oldest profession."
The audience reaction was priceless. A collective OHNOSHEDIDN'T!! Amazing.
But the clincher was during the exit interviews. When pressed for why it happened, the woman said she was "young and stupid". Doug then asked the guy, how could you take all that money and never give any back? He replied, I gave her back other things. If you know what I mean. Too funny. What I heard was, "The little whore loved the BBC!" LOL!
I could never go on this show. Or any show. I don't even like for mundane inconsequential details of my life to be made public, much less mortifying stuff like this.
