me what you were doing at her
house on October 6th?
>> I had went to peacefully try
to resolve in getting my
television back.
My sister had gone off to
college, and I had wanted to
give her that TV to use during
college.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, but you
didn't see the TV there.
>> I didn't see it there.
I tried to peacefully resolve --
>> Judge Judy: Well, how do you
want to peacefully resolve it?
How do you peacefully resolve
it?
You know I'm not believing you,
right?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: You know I'm not
believing you.
>> Sure.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So you got to the house.
When, immediately preceding
October 6th, had you gone to the
defendant's house before?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: No.
You mean October 6th was the
first day you were ever at her
new apartment?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Is that right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
How did you get her address?
>> A mutual friend of ours had
provided it.
>> You stalked me.
>> Judge Judy: Now, let me go
back a second to this other
nonsense that you're suing her
for which is gas money.
>> Sure.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, now tell me
when you believe she owes you
money for what trip?
When did you go on a trip that
she owes you gas money for?
>> We had went to a --
>> Judge Judy: Date.
Day and date.
>> We had went on a trip in June
of 2016 to a festival in
Michigan.
>> Judge Judy: June 2016.
Okay. And who drove?
>> I did.
>> Judge Judy: So you picked her
up.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did she go into
the house?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Let's get back to
the phone.
October 6, 2016, you went to her
house to, according to you,
resolve the issue of the TV,
which you didn't see in the
house, and?
>> It went very, very badly.
>> Judge Judy: Well, no.
I want you to tell me what
happened.
You went in there and you said
to her, she said to you.
Did you call first before you
went over?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: So you went over
unannounced.
What time?
>> It would've been at 4:00 p.m.
>> It was later than that.
>> Judge Judy: What time?
>> I think it was like 5:36.
I was just getting off of work.
>> Judge Judy: Okay. Keep going.
>> So I had gone in.
She had let me into the
apartment in which a fight
escalated.
She had --
>> Judge Judy: No, I want you to
tell me what you said to her and
what she said to you.
She was coming home from work.
>> I said, once again from the
text messages that I sent her,
it had been a really long time.
All I would like is for my TV
back.
I would like to be done with
this friendship and to call it
quits after that.
She didn't like that fact, so
then it escalated into a
scuffling match where she
actually physically dragged me
out of the apartment.
>> Judge Judy: Are you telling
me that at that time she didn't
say to you, "I don't have your
TV"?
>> Yes, that's what she told me.
I didn't see it in her
apartment.
>> Judge Judy: And you said to
her?
Just a second.
Don't make it up!
She said to you, "I don't have
your TV.
Look around my apartment.
I don't have your TV anymore."
And what did you say to her?
>> It just basically -- I just
started announcing that I was
really upset with the fact that
she would be this spiteful
towards me when I was being
helpful.
>> Judge Judy: What were you
being helpful about?
>> Helpful by letting her use my
TV, transporting her to the --
>> Judge Judy: No, you gave her
the TV a year before.
You changed your mind.
>> I didn't give her the TV.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Yes, you did.
>> No, I didn't.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, so you come
in, you see there's no TV.
She says, "I don't have your TV
anymore."
What else were you fighting
about, Ms. Rodriguez?
>> It was just that specifically
how spiteful that she was in
this entire relationship when
I -- friendship -- friendship --
>> Relationship.
>> Friendship.
Oh, heck --
>> Judge Judy: Don't. Don't.
>> I don't swing that way.
>> Oh, my God.
>> Not my type.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
>> Excuse me.
>> Judge Judy: Listen, shh.
>> Sorry.
>> I had recited that she had
been very spiteful that --
>> Judge Judy: I heard she had
been very spiteful, okay, and
she told you to get out.
"I don't have your TV."
>> And then it started turning
into a shoving match.
>> Judge Judy: Well, how did
that come about?
She told you, "Get out.
I don't have your TV."
You had to leave.
>> No, she kept throwing very,
very -- a lot of slurs at me.
She kept pushing me and shoving
me and then eventually it just
got into a scuffling match where
she basically dragged me
outside.
She went back into the
apartment, came out with my
phone, threw it, hit the
pavement, shut the door.
>> Judge Judy: Did she tell you
to leave her home?
>> No.
>> [ Laughs ]
>> Judge Judy: You mean she was
pushing you out the door, not
telling you to get out?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Rodriguez,
I don't believe you.
I don't think I'm ever gonna
figure out exactly what this
case is about, and, quite
frankly, I don't care.
I'm not wasting another second
worth of time over a
five-year-old television set
that you gave her as a gift.
We're done.
Your case is dismissed.
>> Byrd: Parties are excused.
You may step out.
>> Things change and you move
on.
>> She had been bothering me for
a long time.
She had an alcoholic problem.
I just really needed this to be
over.
>> I used to be, but I got off
of that bandwagon, and now I'm
sober.
>> It was a dark time.
She was a different person then.
>> You know, good riddance.
I have a nice life, and you move
on.
>> I just want her t
