Barbershop Broke

- čas přidán 25. 10. 2022
- The plaintiff says he and the defendant grew up in Memphis together, and the defendant was a high school basketball star. The plaintiff gave the defendant money to help him start his barber career, but he hasn’t paid him back, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant claims when he was in high school, his mother committed suicide, and he was the one who found her. The defendant turned to drugs and alcohol to ease the pain, and he still struggles with addiction to this day.

Judge Mathis with all due respect🙏🏾. it’s a Major difference between your mother‘s passing & Jerome
getting home, discovered his mother being deceased at her own hands.⚰️❤️🩹..
Like day and night. I'm hurting deeply just hearing about it. I can't imagine his pain.
My sentiments exactly
I don’t think he was comparing it
Totally different 😢
He always tries to downplay everyone situations. Like every isn’t the same and everyone isn’t YOU!
I don’t think it was about the money at all I think he just really want to get his friend some help the END
That's what a lot of these JM cases are about.
💯 True friends
Lol you said the end like y’all gon understand this story!! Lol i like that! And we did. Lol that’s very true i feel like that’s what judge Mathis seems to think as well you’re right honey.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I hope the defendant gets clean and improves his quality of life!
He needs to just leave Memphis
@@knightclassic1 and he needs therapy. He went through something traumatic and is probably using the drugs as a way to cope.
@@knightclassic1 That may help, but not necessarily.
Yeah especially if he never knows his father, 80% of Black Males at Memphis are Fatherless
@@knightclassic1 i think that's the first step. I hope the help that JM is providing works out for him
Prayers for the defendant 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 grief is HARD and doesn’t have an expiration date!! I couldn’t imagine finding my mother like that!! 💔
Exactly, you never really stop grieving.
Facts
Amen…. Most of Folk don’t believe that! It doesn’t has an expiration date! And… We can’t tell anyone how too GRIEVE💯
amen
One of the best comment in the history of comments❤❤
I pray the defendant gets clean. I'm sure he keeps reliving the memories of finding his mother. So tragic! My brother died in 2020 from Fentanyl and it still feels like yesterday. Grief will kill you on the inside.
so sorry that happened. I can't imagine the torture in the mind. Grief can definitely kill u. Stay strong and replay the best memories in ur mind. That's how I learned to cope a little. Blessings to u💕
@@Chosenones572 thank you so much and that means a lot. Many Blessings to you as well.
@@thesugarcase7431 thank you 💕
Yes I hope he finds God & gets professional help through this!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
The Sugar Case-Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you, family, and friends. I had cousin, if I remember correctly did drugs. He got his life together and ended up passing away to cancer.
This has brought tears to my eyes. To find his mother that way, so heart breaking. Wishing the defendant a brighter future.
My Lord..this is tragic. A mom passing versus finding your mom dead due to suicide has to be a whole different type of loss. Prayers for the defendant 🙏🙏🏻
In tears! Both are really good guys it seems! One brother wants to see the other recover and win! Yes!
This touched my heart. I was the one who found my mom’s body right before she went into cardiac arrest and passed away. It was from complications with leukemia. She was barely breathing and had blood pouring from her mouth on the bathroom floor. That image in my head was and still is traumatizing. I was 21. I started smoking weed to cope probably the first 5 months after her death and I drank heavily for a year or two. I call myself blessed because I don’t have an addictive kind of personality in that way so I was able to cold turkey everything. But I just want to hug this man so badly.. it’s been 5 years and my life feels like it’s broken into two pieces. Before and After my mom died. Praying deep prayers for him💛
Everytime JM tells the story of the mother with the deceased sons, my heart drops 😔
That's absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😢
Right heartbreaking those Memphis moms makes me think of the ones in Chicago that almost lose whole household to gun violence
That’s a tough tough one. My god
Shame on the mothers for knowing their environments are bad and still birthing children into it. Animals don’t do it so why should human mothers? I guess animals truly are better than humans.
I LOVE that these two men brought their case here and showed the world that as black men everything is not always solved with violence.❤ Thank you for showing us what the media refuses to.
This episode, everyone won. The plaintiff gets his $500 from the show appearance, defendant is going to receive the help he needs to confront his addiction, and Judge Mathis gets the word out to viewers, that touches on all the issues involved. Well done, y'all. This is definitely, a great episode to watch!
Sending my prayers to the defendant with getting his life back on track..
Jerome is blessed to have such a supportive friend. I pray he is healed from his trauma and leads a productive drug free life.
Lord I pray this man overcomes the disease of addiction and also heal from his mom’s passing. Sending him healing energy 🤎💫
I love cases like this.... This is amazing.. Prayers for the defendant...
I wish him health.. Healing and restoration.
It ain't over because you're still here. There is still a purpose for your life..
Take it one day at a time 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen!
Amen🙏🏾
Love this case, He spoke like a true friend to him... I wish they can do updates to check on him in the future to see how he conquered his addiction and trauma!!!!
The plaintiffs story about the $20 was irrelevant and further proved JM point. He knew his friend wasn't going to pay him back. Don't lend what you can't afford to lose...
I thought he was going to say he got paid back for that 20, which is why he felt comfortable loaning more. I was so wrong 😂
@@tjneverdefeated4394 I was so lost!!😂🤣😅
@@mrshappilymarried1 me too, and I was so disappointed when he finally arrived to the no place he was going 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣
You aint lying...i had to learn that the hard way.
Right I thought he was gone say he got paid or even got it back doubled because they were already tall and short when it was loaned lol so what was the point
Awww this brought me to tears! This is how you help your fellow brother.
I love this guy and how he is there for his friend
True friend!
This why I love Judge Mathis . This is more than just a court show . I can’t imagine the trauma that young man had to go through.
Judge Mathis always encourages these young men to get into the skilled trades which is good. he should also start encouraging or even open a school himself for counseling and mental health because nobody really is able to get these men and boys to open up and learn how to mature emotionally and cope with life like other black men
I second this so hard, nothing but real truth. This would be a beacon in many black communities, if we even had an establishment just for focusing on our causes.
He's only one person and he's doing what he can with his busy schedule
you should too
@@TopherGrant I do
You could open a school also, I would like to do that in the future too
I cried listening to his story, I found my son dead and the pain and trauma from that moment stays with you
I can't imagine. So sorry. Pray that God will ease your pain.
God bless you. Praying for your peace and continued strength
@@melyndaduh3501 Thank you so much ❤️
@@opheliagoode3149 Thank you very much❤️
❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤
Witness the aftermath of my mother suicide would also turn me into a drug attack.
Judge Mathis mother dying and actually finding your mom with her brains blown out (assumption )are two different things. The boy didn’t have a support system at the time. I know how that feels not to have support. Judge Mathis rode him hard about that. I went low at one point in my life as well when I was younger but now I am older and doing great! People can change . Thank you Jesus.
@@queen4u281 amen
@@queen4u281 Tough love to build him up. People are to sensitive to things when that doesn't work sensitivity gets you played n no results!!!?
I pray he's better...this was traumatizing and he masked the pain up to an addiction...double traumatizing. 😔
Jerome seems like a really good dude! Praying for him!
Take care of yourselves first and foremost men. This defendant clearly loss his way in life but I hope he's able to get back on his feet to better his life. I cannot imagine losing a parent in the manner that he did .
That's the downfall of modern day society. One thing about men, they will and DO put themselves and their wants first and foremost. Above family, before their children, before "God". And that's why each generation is getting weaker and losing.
And it's *lost, "clearly LOST his way in life", but I guess you are just another man putting himself first, even before education.
Excuses excuses.
@@lareinanueva girl shut up let’s see that happen to you and see where you end up it’s easy to judge when you never been in that situation
@@lareinanueva how can u say that. Grief is handled differently. I lost my way when my mother passed but I knew I had to move on but it's still hard.
@@TopherGrant ur name is grant that’s why you so salty 😭😭
Judge “I know the game” Mathis
Facts
😆😆
Shit is mad annoying lol
😂😂😂 I needed that laugh, thanks
Man... An awesome friend. He really cares about the defendant's well being. I hope the young man can truly turn his life around for the better🙏🏾
"All 6 stay with me" because 2 of the moms are unfit or that's the best way to avoid child support?
Where's the timestamp when all that was said? BTW, paying child support is a lot cheaper than raising children full-time and easier.
@@sereneamani1713 There’s NO time stamp for that 🙄
@@sereneamani1713 paying child support is a fixed amount. A person can be cheap AF raising a kid in house.
@@Mo-yd8xc my brother bm was that way. Collect child support stand in a line for free clothing for children, pick out brand name clothing then maybe sell them for more money. Would do all that but wouldn't hold a steady job because she wasn't gonna let a boss tell her what to do.
@@jennevamadison3803 the baby mama label is embarrassing
JM HELLA FUNNY HE SAID “YA MAMA CAME AND CLOSED THE CURTAINS”😂🤣😂🤣😂 👌🏾💪🏾💯💯
A pair of clippers, consistency and determination can take your very far in this life. Even from ground zero. Trust.🤟
I would never want my Sons to go through what this man has gone through. Glad I seen this video …..
I pray that you’re doing ok!!! ❤
@@valpooh7532 ❤️
Judge Mathis talked so much I forgot what the case was about
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He talks so much because he's got trying to give a life lesson in 30,40 minutes to some of these people that come in their true stories
He means well.
The defendant is high af right now
like a kite😂😂😂😂
@@SpoddyProduction And that's funny
😂😂😂
@@SpoddyProduction 🪁 😅😅
That is sad. Slow death. My cousin is gone because he couldn't leave heroin alone. Not funny at all in this context.
Clapping for six Kids three baby mama and just getting married without mentioning the importance of family planning and disease prevention was a missed opportunity - especially when he admitted he was selling plates for income
😂 The bar is set so low I swear
Right 😂😂😂😂
Definitely
I mean, good you take care of them, but you still got 6 kids by three women...
@@scottrogue946 extremely low
Even though my brother had been drug free for years, I still just got his credit card bill and paid it off directly. He did not ask me to pay the whole bill and I don’t remember if he even asked me for anything- maybe he dry begged. I just remember saying give me your bill. I knew it would take him forever to pay it off, so I just took care of it. It was not a loan, it was a gift to my big brother.
You are Good People. God is good. Thank you!
You’re a good brother
I never loan money to anyone-family or friends. I will gift money if I feel they need it and I am able. That way I don't ever get mad with them or go crazy because they don't pay me back.
Oh no Jerome!!! How devastating it must have been for you to experience what you did. I can’t even imagine. Praying for your continued strength😢 🙏🏾🙏🏾. You can make it honey.
The ending encouragement almost made me 😢 that was sincere that’s how you try to uplift your BROTHAAAA‼️‼️‼️🫡🫡🫡🫡
I had high hopes for the plaintiff when he said he had a wife and 6 kids. Than he said 3 baby mommas 😂
Right🤣🤣
At least he is married
He clearly stated they all live with him. Judgmental much🙄
@@daniegirl5393 Life is not perfect and things may not always go the way you want. I was glad to hear that the plaintiff at least say all six children were with him and he is being responsibly involved in their lives. ⚖
Chile, the bar is in hell. I guess we are supposed to give him ass pats for him being reckless with his sexual organ and then finally getting married lol. These are the men the women run to.
I would love an update on his progress!
JM ain’t have to cook him like that 😂😂😂😂
Shit was funny as hell
Sometimes I don’t like how the judges talks to people about their lived experience. Him finding his mother dead from suicide is beyond devastating. Just don’t know if I would’ve even been still alive my damn self. I’m praying for him really praying for this man.
I hope he gets the help he needs for the sake of his wife and kids. The plaintiff wants his money back. But wants him to get help for himself. Glad they hugged at the end.
I couldn't finish watching this. I feel the hurt in every word coming out of this man's mouth. I pray he finds the peace he deserves. This man is living in misery. Ugh. God bless him.
🙏🏾
Grief
Depression
Despair
Trauma
Regret
Can make or break you.
Praying he can overcome his obstacles and heal his inner self 🙏🏽
That dude full of mess. I'm sure if u ask any of those baby mommas they have a whole different story for the judge. They be on here trying impress the judge. Let's get to the case.
What if he telling the truth
Even the cameraman 🎥 was caught up in the moment🥺♥️
Praying for healing for the lady who had her 5 children killed. That's enough to destroy anyone but I pray she finds the strength to try to live well
Not gone lie I hate the jokes judge Mathis was making about Jerome you can tell he felt so humiliated but he was trying to be respectful
People don't realize how quickly your life can switch. Sad he got addicted to drugs, prayers to him and just how his life has been hard, it can switch to a better life. God can do the unbelievable and blessings to him.
It heartbreaking to see one of your friends fall to drugs regardless of the situation!!!! Dude has 6 kids.. her shouldn't be lending nobody anything!!!! Concentrate on your family!!!!
That one brought me to tears!! I pray that he will get his life back on track!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That suit is clean! 😊
My heart goes out for the defendant. I hate that he wasn't provided mental health resources, especially from those who presented him with college and military connections... Mental health is wealth.
Plaintiff looks like he’s country Wayne’s big brother 😂
😂😂😂😂
Amen to the strong Brother/Father. Good luck. Bravo Sir!!!
Young man I pray God gives you the will power to excel
Whew! That baby going through it! To find his mom like this eats away at him. I hope he gets the counseling he needs
Hello and good day to you ladies and gentlemen watching this video of the Judge Mathis Show which is taped in downtown Chicago Illinois 😉.
Sounds like the old announcers who used to say "taped in beautiful downtown Burbank" LOL
@@sereneamani1713 😂😂😂 I remember those days
Big S/O to the plaintiff. He's a blessing for the plaintiff. 🙌🏾
The plaintiff is handsome and articulate and I wish him and his family the best of success.
I pray for these black men and their friendship. 😩 and the fact he didn’t get mad about his friend wanting help for him. Depression is real and it can last a whole lifetime.
I really hope he got his life on track!!!
Unfortunately, I saw an arrest report from July of this year. BUT there is still hope.
@@sereneamani1713Yes, grief and overcoming addiction is a process…I am praying for him to choose healing and get back on track. 🙏🏾
PREACH On SIR!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR DECADES!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, INFORMATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!! WOW, Judge Mathis, what you taught this Young Warrior about loaning Money was So IMPORTANT!! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!! WE LOVE YOU SIR!!!
I most definitely concur👊🏿 He is a Blessing to US ALL! Gotta love him💜
Sorry for your lost and praying for you 🙏❤️
Hope the defendant is able to get clean and stay on the path to success
Come on Judge 🙄 let them start their case.
No I like to hear the back story
Judge always got a story that's 15 mins long the whole time he telling it he fixing the paperwork in front of him he get to shaking his head moving all round. After all that u be tired just give us the verdict!
I wish both of these men the best!
I pray that the defendant get the help he need, they seem like 2 pretty decent guys
Judge got me crying lol
Grief is awful. I pray he gets the help he needs.
He get in and on my nerves trying to prove the game knowledge
Me too Kent! Everybody is different 💯.
😂 right can barely get it out
Y’all complaining about Judge Mathis and how he handles his courtroom is funny to me.
Agreed. Some acts like this is the first time they have seen his show
They be cutting up on judge Mathis 😂
Right! Just don't watch.
This judge is one great judge bro... He gives life a whole new meaning
I think JM is turning into Judge Joe Brown
Judge Joe Brown actually has some sensible things to say when he's sober and off the bench these days
Lmaooooooo
Stop praising fish for swimming (black father's).. Not thanking a black man for being in their own kids lives.. That's what they are SUPPOSE 2 DO!!
They should be praised when it’s at least ONE black man that’s there for their children. So many aren’t because no one takes the time to teach them then commend them for doing so!! Black women should equally uplift black men and black women when positives are being made. Thats what’s wrong in the black community now.
Judge Mathis what you said about your life really touched me. I have a similar story and I feel the same way you feel when you made the statement about how the church people treated you and your mom. People can say some of the most hurtful things.
My boy mike 😂😂 crazy to see you on here but you really came here as you and nothing less. Respect
You ain't gonna continue insulting the game > Judge Mathis. I love the ending to both of these guys
The defendant looks high right now. Please get this brotha some help.
God bless the defendant and may God place the right people in this man's path with positive white light!! It is not over yet God has taken worse and made them better and he is no different!! God is still in control of this world and the people in it!! Much love and blessings to that young man!!♥️♥️🙏🙏
I pray this man gets the help he needs 🙏🏿
Judge Mathis gots ta smoke weed because he ramble on like me when I’m high 😂
All the best to the defendant.
Inspiring words of wisdom and compassion
I just want to say to the announcer …. Jerome said he was 22 when his mom passed. I’m thinking he was not in high school if that was the case. Let’s get these introduction stories straight lol
U won’t feel the pain or understand it unless if ur from memphis.
Are you from Memphis? Have you visited other cities lately? Please answer.
@@sereneamani1713
I’m from Middle East.. but i grew up in memphis.
The Honorable Judge Mathis was being interrogated at the jump start! What a great man because he obliged!
God bless both these men 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm here My Beloved Favorite Judge ***ASHAY ***
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee how he spoke very high of them REGARDLESS of the fact he was still suing him it’s definitely not the about the money he wanted to GET THAT MAN HELP!!!❤❤❤
Prayers and I’m Sending the Defendant POSITIVE ENERGY‼️
Grief is theeee hardest,it’s not EASY AT ALL‼️🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
I was 7 years old the first time that I saved my father from committing suicide. I was seventeen years old the last time that I stopped trying.
We need an update on Jerome’s sobriety !!
I hope he's getting child support from the mothers. For the kids that live with him and his wife. It's morally the right thing to do
Fathers should take care of their children I am not clapping for him he is suppose to he shouldn't get child support
The plaintiff is legally entitled to child support if he has primary physical custody.
@@pattiamoh1136 he shouldn’t get child support but women can… sound like FOOL
@@pattiamoh1136 MOTHERS & FATHERS should take care of their children. The custodial parent is entitled to child support. It's the law!
@@chi_0647 As my mama used to say "a pure dang fool".
Prayers to the defendant. Bless his heart ❤️ I pray he beats his addiction.
Grief is hard how many of us knows someone who was on top straight to the bottom when that lost happened..Wish him the very best
Thank you, JM for ur deep compassion.
