Ms. Massara,
this is your father,
and this young man you've known
for a very long time,
according to the complaint.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Sometime within
the last year or so,
the defendant married,
had a child, I assume with you.
Then, according to your
complaint, sometime this year,
Mr. Rainbolt
was having second thoughts about
his commitment to his marriage,
and you, very
foolishly, took up with him.
>> It was October of last year.
>> Judge Judy: October
of last year.
And at that time, he was living
in a different apartment.
You were not living together.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Is that correct?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy:
But recently separated within
a relatively short time.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: A month or so.
And you knew that.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: You knew that.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
But, according to what I read,
you, again, very foolishly,
started to buy things
for this apartment
that he was now living in,
became more involved
with his situation with
an intent of moving in with him.
He became sort of a fixture
in your home, Mr. Massara?
>> Mm-hmm.
Yes.
>> Judge Judy: I assume,
as a parent, you were happy
that your daughter was happy,
not very thrilled about the...
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: ...complication
of the relationship.
Let me get to your part
of the lawsuit first,
which is total nonsense.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: While
Mr. Rainbolt
was dating your daughter
and coming
to your home frequently...
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: ...he tried
to fix a washing machine.
>> Dryer.
>> Judge Judy: I assume you were
at home when that happened,
and he didn't fix that
electronic piece of equipment.
According to you,
he made it worse.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: So you want
to be compensated for that.
And after he didn't fix that
piece of electrical equipment,
he also tried to fix a grill.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: Were you home
when he tried to fix the grill?
>> I was not home for that.
>> Judge Judy:
Was your daughter home
when he tried to fix the grill?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Yes.
I mean, whether she said,
"Please try to fix the grill,"
she didn't
stop him from fixing the grill.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: No.
And you say he also didn't do
a good job of fixing the grill,
and that has to be replaced.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: So you want
to be compensated
for those two things.
Is that right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: All right.
That's dismissed.
Sit down because
it's a ridiculous lawsuit.
Let's get to your part
of the lawsuit.
When Mr. Rainbolt decided
to go back to his wife,
and you hadn't been getting
along anyway,
you had purchased
some things for his apartment.
What had she purchased,
Mr. Rainbolt,
for your apartment?
>> She purchased, like,
a filing cabinet...
>> Judge Judy: A filing cabinet?
>> ...a bunch of...
>> Judge Judy: Let's go.
>> ...a bunch of items
from IKEA.
>> Judge Judy: No, no.
Filing cabinet.
>> A filing cabinet, a shelf...
>> Judge Judy: Shelf.
>> ...some, like, home
organization
random storage items...
>> Judge Judy: Mm-hmm.
>> ...and then just some small
home furnishings.
>> Judge Judy: What kind of
small home furnishings?
>> Like, a picture frame.
>> Judge Judy:
What else did you purchase,
Ms. Massara?
>> So it was not purchased
for to be...
>> Judge Judy: Just...
I have a filing cabinet,
a shelf, some home
organizing stuff
that you would get at, you know,
a Staples store.
>> Target.
>> Judge Judy: Is that what
you're talking about?
And a picture frame.
What else did you purchase
for the house
we're talking about here?
>> I had multiple items
of clothing there.
I had, like,
utensils for school,
so also, like, stationery stuff.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
about your clothes.
Get your clothing.
>> And then there was shelving,
more shelving
than he had mentioned.
>> Judge Judy: He said shelving.
Okay.
Now was shelving the kind
of shelving
that you attach to the wall?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So that you can't get back
because
he's not taking it off the wall
because that
will leave holes in the wall.
You put it...It became affixed
to the property.
>> When I had left, though,
it was still in the package,
and when I had the police
escorted me, it was on the wall.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
When you left when,
it was still in the package?
>> It was the beginning of
January, like, a week
prior to me having the police
escort me over,
and when we got in there it was
spray-painted on the wall.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Now it's on the wall.
What else?
>> There was articles
of my clothing.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
about your clothing.
If you had articles of clothing,
the police would have helped you
get those articles of clothing.
>> He...
>> Judge Judy: Let's go.
Filing cabinet.
>> ...also spray-painted
and put under his desk.
>> Judge Judy: You want
the filing cabinet back?
>> Well, I would like it back
how I bought it,
not spray-painted.
But...
>> Judge Judy: I'm sorry.
It was painted because
you planned
on moving there together.
>> Your Honor, may I?
>> Judge Judy: It wasn't
spray-painted maliciously.
It was spray-painted consistent
with the decor of the apartment.
>> It was brought in
as just to get it out of my car.
We never lived together,
never had plans
to live together.
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Massara,
you don't have a lawsuit.
>> Okay.
So he had claimed...
When the police had escorted me,
he had claimed that he had
purchased all of the items,
and I have all the receipts
for them.
