it, but he didn't.
>> Judge Judy: Why would you
think he would handle it,
Miss Rodgers?
>> Because that's what I was
brought up that men do.
If this is your friend, he
shouldn't be coming at the
person that you're -- you're
dating.
So, I thought he would be --
>> Judge Judy: He should know --
You thought he should know about
it, that his friend --
>> Right, and I thought, you
know, this supposedly is his
friend, so you would do
something about it.
But he turned it back on me.
So, we were talking about it, so
he said, "I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna call this," and he
called him a -- the [bleep]
I don't want to say it here.
He called him [bleep]
"I'm gonna call him right now."
He has an iPhone, so he
FaceTimed him.
The guy answered, so he -- he
preceded to tell him what I had
told him about, he liked me, and
that it wasn't all about money.
And the guy cut him off and he
said, "I tell you what, I do,
but you guys keep me out of
what's going on between you."
And he repeated himself and
said it again.
"Keep me out of what's going on
between you.
I'm going to delete her as my
friend on Facebook, and I'm
going to delete her number out
of my phone."
He said, "Keep me out of your
[bleep] business," and he hung
up on him.
When he hung up, that's when he
changed.
He said that, "I don't care what
he say.
You're my [bleep] and I'm your
[bleep]"
And I said, "I'm nobody's
[bleep]
Don't call me that."
And he said that, "I'm your
[bleep] and you're my [bleep]"
And I said, "Cute, but I don't
like either of those words."
I got up, because I was sitting
on the bed, furthest from the
window.
I started to walk over to him by
the window.
And before I got there, he
grabbed me.
>> Judge Judy: Why were you
going over there?
>> I was going over to the
window.
He had the window open.
I was just walking over to the
window.
But before I got there, he was
standing there and he grabbed
me.
And when he grabbed me, he threw
me to his left, and I -- There
was a desk -- dresser/TV stand
there.
And I managed to catch myself
like this, and I'm standing
there like, "What just
happened?"
And I'm asking him, "Why did you
do that?
What's wrong with you?"
And I turned, and he was pretty
much on me, so I pushed him in
the chest backwards.
He grabbed me again, and he
threw me to his left again.
This time, I missed the desk,
and I hit the wall.
His suitcase was sitting on the
luggage rack right there.
I have pictures of the suitcase.
And I hit the wall in between
the suitcase and the desk.
When I hit that, I fell over on
the suitcase and the luggage
rack.
We all fell to the floor.
>> Judge Judy: Who all fell to
the floor?
>> The -- I'm sorry.
The suitcase, the luggage rack,
and myself.
And I managed to roll over in
a sitting position, and I'm
sitting there thinking, "Wow.
What just happened?
Why did he do this?"
>> Judge Judy: So what did you
do next?
He did it because -- If I
believe you, he did it because
you've just told me that he had
been drinking before you
arrived.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: You went and got
him a double shot.
He ordered another double shot,
which he consumed.
He asked for another drink when
you got into the room.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: So, you're not
dealing with someone who is
rational, and not dealing with
someone who's rational, you're
telling them that a friend of
his has put a hit on you, and
you think that he should deal
with it in his otherwise altered
state.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: [ Laughs ]
That doesn't permit anybody to
put their hands on you, but that
would be poor judgment.
>> Yes. It would be.
>> Judge Judy: Right.
And it was.
I assume that you've told me
honestly that you had one drink.
>> I had one -- half of one
drink.
My drink was still pretty full.
>> Judge Judy: That you --
There.
So, you had a clear mind and
you're dealing with a guy who's
got a fuzzy mind.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: If I believe you.
He's going to tell me his own
version of the story, which I
haven't gotten to you, 'cause
he's been quiet.
Okay, make a long story short,
then based upon what I heard,
you called the police.
>> Well --
>> Judge Judy: Did you call the
police or call security?
>> I called the police the first
time.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, so --
>> Once I got up, because he --
When I got up off the floor, he
was walking by to go to the
bathroom.
And he grabbed me again and
slung me over on the bed.
So, I said, "If -- He's really
gonna hurt me if I continue to
let him do this."
So, I went over and I grabbed my
phone, and I didn't know --
>> Judge Judy: And he went to
the bathroom?
>> He went in the bathroom.
>> Judge Judy: Why didn't you
leave?
>> Your Honor, I don't know.
I-I honestly --
>> Judge Judy: I'm just curious.
>> I honestly couldn't tell you.
I thought this was somebody that
I loved, somebody that I knew.
I couldn't understand why he was
doing it.
I can't tell you why I didn't
leave at that moment.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, fin
