>> Judge Judy: Tell me what
terrible thing she did to you.
>> Announcer: Mad at mom over
gender-reveal party pictures.
>> It was just supposed to be
private.
She put it as her cover photo on
Facebook.
>> Announcer: But the judge has
seen it all before.
>> Judge Judy: It's showing that
you're crying.
What was so upsetting about it?
>> It's a meme.
I don't know if you're aware of
what that is, but...
>> Judge Judy: The only meme
that I've seen is the one of me.
>> Announcer: "Judge Judy."
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Savoeun, this
is your daughter.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: This is her
boyfriend.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: They're having a
baby.
>> They are.
>> Judge Judy: Yay!
[ Laughter ]
And they're excited about having
a baby.
Do you work?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Do you work?
>> Not anymore, no.
>> Judge Judy: Do you have other
children?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: So, this is your
first.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did you ever
think about marriage?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And now you're
gonna think about that more
seriously.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Perfect.
Several months ago, they have
a dog.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And they let the
dog out in the backyard and the
dog ate something and it got
very sick.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: What kind of a
dog is it, so I know?
>> She's a German
shepherd/Labrador mix.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
The dog got sick, went to the
vet.
You had no money to pay for the
vet.
Your mom said, "Okay, I'll lend
you the money," and she lent you
the money to pay for the dog's
care.
According to you, "Well, it
wasn't really a loan, but we
didn't want her controlling us,
so we paid her back anyway."
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: And you paid her
back a good portion of the vet
bill.
How much is left?
>> $395.
>> Judge Judy: And the original
vet bill was how much?
>> $1,500 and some change.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, so, you
made substantial payments.
that's what your mother is suing
for.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: She's suing for
the balance of this loan, $395.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: And everybody was
happy.
And then you had what is this
new custom that I'm finding out
about.
It's called a baby-reveal party.
[ Laughter ]
>> Yeah. Gender reveal.
>> Judge Judy: Something that
they didn't do -- Is it like a
baby shower, or is it in
addition to a baby shower?
>> No, it's kind of like, you
know, like, friends, family.
We all gather, and in some way,
sometimes it's -- In our case,
we did a burn-out with tires.
>> Judge Judy: Whatever.
You show everybody what the --
>> Yeah, it's like a reveal of
the color, whether it's a boy or
girl and -- yeah.
>> Judge Judy: So, it's a big
party.
You could have coupled it with a
wedding.
We could have had a marriage.
[ Laughter ]
Now, in addition to this
gender-reveal party, do you also
have a baby shower?
>> We are planning one for early
April, yeah.
>> Judge Judy: [ Chuckles ]
So, we have a gender-reveal
[laughing] party, and we have a
baby shower, no wedding.
>> Byrd: Everything but a
wedding.
[ Laughter ]
>> Judge Judy: All right.
And at the baby-reveal party,
you got annoyed with your
mother.
>> It wasn't until after.
>> Judge Judy: By the way, who
paid for the baby-reveal party?
>> We did.
>> Judge Judy: And you got a lot
of gifts for the baby, and your
mom volunteered to take the
gifts and store them for you.
>> They weren't gifts.
We bought them.
After the gender-reveal party,
we we went to, you know, a local
store, and we bought everything.
>> Judge Judy: And she stored it
for you, at your request.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: That's your
counterclaim.
You want your baby stuff back.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: So, it's very
easy.
You owe the balance of $395 for
the vet bill.
That's an easy.
You paid most of it.
You owe her the rest.
You got annoyed with her.
Who cares?
You still owe her the $395.
That takes care of your lawsuit.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Now I'm gonna get
to -- what did your mother do
that you thought was so terrible
at the gender-reveal party that
you stopped paying her back, you
cut her off, you were very angry
with her?
Tell me what terrible thing she
did to you.
>> So, on the day of the gender
reveal, there was, you know,
multiple videos and pictures and
things taken.
We have a group of friends that
we chat amongst through
Facebook.
Well, they had, you know, made
some pictures and stuff, you
know, just for laughs that was
kind of just supposed to be
kept, you know...
>> Between us.
>> ...private, not for, you
know, all of Facebook to see.
And I had shared one of them
with my mom, and she put it as
her cover photo on Facebook.
When I asked her to take it
down, she --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
What was wrong with it?
>> It was embarrassing.
I have the photo.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to
see it.
>> Okay.
So, the whole thing with that
was --
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
Just a second.
>> Sorry.
>> Judge Judy: "I'm not crying,
you're crying."
Were these --
>> It's a meme.
I don't know if you're aware of
what that is, but...
>> Judge Judy: Well, the only
meme that I've seen is the one
of me.
[ Laughter ]
They're pretty funny.
>> Well, yeah, that's...
>> Judge Judy: So, I don't
understand.
It's showing that you're crying.
What was so upsetting about it?
>> It was a bit embarrassing to
have it --
>> Judge Judy: Why?
>> Because we chose not to post
that.
We did post about it, you know,
about the reveal, and we posted
a video and stuff, but it was
just kind of, you know --
>> Just between friends.
>> It was something that we
wanted to be private.
That was one of the things that
we chose to keep --
>> Judge Judy: To keep with your
friends.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: So, what'd you
show it to your mother for?
>> Just, you know, to kind of
share the love.
>> And it's her mother, and, you
know, she wants to share those
moments with her mother, you
know, 'cause at that time --
