'Ms Pat Settles It': Chanel, Telfar, Louis Vuitton, And Friendship Gone
This week, Ms. Pat is joined by celebrity panelists Karlous Miller, Carmen Barton, Tamar Braxton, Deray Davis, TS Madison, and Ray J as she dives into more family feuds and roommate disputes. From cousins clashing over a broken TV to siblings battling over an insurance payout, there’s no shortage of drama in these civil disputes.
Special Helms vs. Spencer Helms
The Case: Special is suing her brother, Spencer, for $4,000 after he crashed her car and pocketed the insurance payout. Special argues that while Spencer cosigned the car loan, she’s the one who’s been making the payments. Spencer claims that since the car is technically in his name, he’s entitled to keep the money. Special says that when she arrived at the accident scene, neither the police nor insurance company would talk to her because Spencer’s name was on the paperwork.
The Verdict: Ms. Pat rules in favor of Special, awarding her $4,000. Despite Spencer’s cosign, the car was for Special, and pocketing the insurance money was unfair.
Teria Brown vs. Aja Ben
The Case: Teria is suing her cousin, Aja, for $399.99, claiming Aja’s son broke her TV during a girls’ night. Aja insists her son isn’t responsible, accusing Teria of using her son as an excuse to upgrade to a bigger screen. Aja recalls her son playing in Teria’s daughter’s room when the alleged damage occurred. Teria also claimed her cousin’s son decapitated some dolls, bringing the doll heads as evidence. However, Aja denies her son was involved in either incident, while Teria admits she initially offered to replace the TV but later felt Aja was exaggerating its size and cost.
The Verdict: Ms. Pat dismisses the case, ruling in favor of neither party. She suggests the family feud over a TV isn’t worth the strain and offers Aja $33.79 to replace the decapitated dolls.
Myeshia Barrett vs. Terry Golden
The Case: Myeshia is suing her former roommate, Terry, for $4,800 after discovering Terry sold her Chanel, Telfar, and Louis Vuitton bags. Terry claims she tried contacting Myeshia multiple times about her belongings, and when she received no response, she assumed they’d been abandoned and sold them to cover rent Myeshia owed. Myeshia says she was away on her honeymoon and didn’t expect her bags to be sold, especially her vintage Chanel from her grandmother, valued at $8,000 but sold for $1,000. She provided screenshots showing her bags listed for sale online.
The Verdict: Ms. Pat rules in favor of Terry, agreeing that Myeshia abandoned her property. However, she encourages both parties to consider reconciling their friendship.
With each case, Ms. Pat brings her signature humor and wisdom, dishing out justice while reminding everyone of the importance of family, friendships, and responsibility.
