“Ms. Pat Settles It” is back for season two shenanigans. In case you need a refresher, Ms. Pat, a comedian and actress, was allowed to play judge. She said she took it because she liked what the check looked like. So here you have this street-smart funny woman, who is also a former drug dealer who spent time in jail, on the other side of the bench. Today, she brought her friends, Karlous Miller, Tamar Braxton, Deray Davis, Carmen Barton, Ray J, TS Madison, Carmen Barton, and White Boy Chris, to play jury. 

Ultimately, what she says goes, so here’s a summary of the three cases and lessons learned. 

Willis vs. McClaine

Marco Willis is suing his ex-friend, Hershee McClaine, claiming she sold him $3,500 of fake fashion that she claimed was discounted designer drip. Hershee swears her stuff is legit and says she’s not paying because Marco is making false accusations. 

Hershee explains that she has a personal vendor who gets discount designer clothing and supplies her with the goods for her business. The backstory is that Marco and Hershee met in college, where she used to sell clothes, and he trusted her then. Fast-forward to when Marco bought a recent haul from Hershee. He thinks she got the clothes from the swapmeet, and it does seem like he got them. For example, he bought five pairs of Jordans for $250. 

On what planet would Jordans ever be discounted enough that you could get five for $250 when one pair usually costs between $150 and $250? 

Anyway, Marco has the evidence. Karlous inspects and determines it’s fugazi. Ms. Pat also peeps that Hershee probably ran game and ruled in the plaintiff’s favor.  

The Lesson: For designer gear on a budget, go to Marshalls, Century 21, or Burlington Coat Factory. 

Sloane vs. Ware

Once again, a friendship is tested when George Sloane sues his friend, Travis Ware, for $859.87, the amount he says he’s owed for co-starring on their Instagram podcast. George said that Travis was on live, so he clicked to join, and as soon as he joined, the views went up by a couple of hundred people because he had more viewers on his account. Travis said the earnings are still in his IG account and showed he had $1,719.94, so George wants half. Travis said they never discussed money and that he feels like the money they do have needs to go back into their business before they start paying each other, which makes sense. Ms. Pat understands that you must put more money back into a business to grow, and rules in favor of Travis the defendant. 

The Lesson: No contract, no check. Discuss these things ahead of time. 

Petty vs. Redmond

This one is downright ridiculous! Carlos Petty is suing his girlfriend Nagayla Redmond for $5,000, which he says he loaned her to buy a car but was never paid back as promised, and it’s been two years. He said she has been blowing cash shopping online. But here’s the thing, they’re a couple, have been together for 17 years and have three kids. Nagayla feels she doesn’t have to repay her because the money is theirs. Does it matter, given the nature of their relationship? Mss Pat asks if Carlos sees a future with Nagayla, and he says he does, even if she doesn’t pay him back. And then there’s a plot twist. Carlos grabs Nagayla’s hand, pulls out a ring, and gets down on one knee. Nagayla says yes. It’s about time, but anyway, you’d think this was a sham lawsuit set up for the proposal, but it’s not. In the end, Ms. Pat rules in favor of Carlos. Nagayla has to pay Carlos $ 5,000 for the honeymoon. Aaaaw. 

The Lesson: Carlos ain’t getting that money back.
