>> Judge Judy: Were you ever
living with the plaintiff?
>> For about a month, yes.
>> Judge Judy: When? What month?
>> The end of July, July 31st,
I want to say, to about
August 15th or 16th.
>> Judge Judy: Well, that's two
weeks.
>> Well, it seemed about a
month.
It was probably about three
weeks.
I would say I moved out the
21st.
It was a Saturday.
>> Judge Judy: And what day did
you purchase the motorcycle?
>> Beginning of August.
It was early August.
>> August 19th was the day that
we purchased the motorcycle.
>> Judge Judy: Motorcycle. Okay.
Well, then you didn't leave on
the 15th of August.
>> I moved out before we had
purchased the motorcycle.
>> Judge Judy: Tell me why.
>> I caught her in bed with
another guy.
>> Judge Judy: Well, that's sort
of interesting.
Then why was it a gift, do you
believe?
>> Because pretty much every
time she got caught doing
something, she figured she would
pretty much buy my love.
The reason she bought the
motorcycle is because I was
taking care of my mom.
She was just getting over
cancer, and I'd quit my job,
and I didn't have a job.
I was doing personal training at
the time.
And she was like, "Come over to
my house."
She lives in Rockland.
I live in Oak Grove.
It's about a 40-mile commute,
and I was like, you know, I just
sold my car for my mom's medical
bills.
I don't have a car.
She was like -- She had got
tired of me Lyfting back and
forth to her house, so she was,
like, "I know" --
>> Judge Judy: Could you try --
Try, at age 33, to eliminate the
word "like" from your
vocabulary?
>> I apologize.
So, she would get tired of me
Lyfting to her house.
So she said, "I'll just" --
>> Judge Judy: Well, all right,
explain this to me.
On the 15th of August, according
to you, you found that she had
cheated on your relationship.
That's what you say.
I'm not taking that for the
truth of the statement, but
that's what he said.
And you left the house.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: Tell me how the
motorcycle came about.
>> She wanted me to come over,
and I said I didn't have a ride.
>> Judge Judy: So, you mean,
within a few days?
>> No, actually, that same
night.
And I was like, "I'm not coming
over.
I'm not gonna talk to you."
And then she got off work at
7:00 in the morning and she
came over to my house.
And I was like, "Leave.
I don't want to talk to you."
>> Judge Judy: So, she came to
where you were living?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Is that with your
mother?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: She drove?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So that would
have been on the 16th.
>> The next morning, yes, 'cause
I left on the 15th.
>> Judge Judy: And what happened
on the 17th?
>> I believe along the lines
was --
>> Judge Judy: Don't "believe."
I'm still trying to figure out
how the motorcycle got purchased
on the 19th.
>> Well, it was, like, a
four-day process, because she
couldn't pull out all the money
at one time, because she has an
online bank.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
I --
>> So -- But we already had
agreed to --
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no.
Come back to me.
>> I'm fine. I'm fine.
>> Judge Judy: We're on the
15th.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: You left.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Are you telling
me that you had been in
discussions with her previously
about the motorcycle?
>> Before I had even moved out.
>> Judge Judy: Before you -- Oh.
Okay, so now we have to go back.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So before you
felt she betrayed you, you had
had a discussion about the
motorcycle.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: When did those
discussions start?
>> Right after we had came back
from Vegas -- August 1st.
>> Judge Judy: Tell me about the
discussion.
>> She said, "Let's buy you a
car," and I said, "No, I don't
want to buy a car right now.
Insurance is too much.
I can't afford it."
And I said, "It'd just be
cheaper if we got a bike,
because it's $20 to fill up the
gas tank and I won't get caught
in traffic, and then I can get
to your house faster so you
won't complain about me being in
traffic, 'cause there's major
traffic for like 15 miles.
>> Judge Judy: All right, very
charitable.
Keep going.
>> And I was like, "Well,
there's no way I can afford a
bike right now, 'cause, you
know, my finances."
I was like...
>> Judge Judy: Not "like."
>> I said, "Maybe we can get an
old bike for right now just in
the meantime, 'cause I start my
job in a month, just so I can
come back and forth so I can be
with you all the time, like you
want me to be."
She was like, "Okay, that's
fine."
And I said, "I'll go on
Craigslist and look up some
prices, and I'll give you a
sheet of things that are the
cheapest."
And we were sitting at the
computer one day.
She walked in the house and
said, "Hey, this one's cheap.
It's close to the house.
Let's call the guy."
So we called the guy, and, you
know, it was a three-day process
of us getting the bike.
And I moved out on the 15th, and
then she started withdrawing
money after that for the bike.
>> Judge Judy: You mean after
you moved out?
>> Yes.
'Cause it was like -- It was her
way of getting me to come back
home.
>> Judge Judy: Who went and
picked up the bike?
>> Both of us.
>> Judge Judy: Well, evidently,
it worked.
>> No, I was not working at this
time.
>> Judge Judy: No, not
you worked -- It worked.
>> We tried.
>> Judge Judy: If you both went
and picked up the bike,
evidently, paying you off with
the bike worked.
>> It worked for the meantime,
yes.
>> Judge Judy: So you were able
to get over your bruised ego in
four days with the bike?
I'm just trying to figure it all
out.
>> Pretty much.
>> Judge Judy: Pretty
