do you live?
>> In Ontario, California.
>> Judge Judy: And you live in
Las Vegas.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: This complaint
alleges that in May of this
year, Mr. Dobbs, you drove from
California to Las Vegas, and you
were in a motel or hotel?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Is it hotel or
motel?
>> A hotel.
>> Judge Judy: What was the
purpose of that visit?
>> I had a show out there in
Vegas.
>> Judge Judy: It wasn't to
visit the plaintiff.
>> No, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Were you still in
a relationship in May?
>> Uh, yes.
>> Judge Judy: What kind of show
did you have?
>> Uh, deejay, dance, kind of
entertainment show.
>> Judge Judy: But you did let
her know you were coming to
Las Vegas.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And at some point
in May, what was it, May 16th?
>> May 14th.
>> Judge Judy: May 14th.
You came to the hotel where he
was staying.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Had he invited
you over to the --
>> We had texted with each other
the earlier part of the day.
Some of the texts turned
a little sexual.
But we agreed that I would come
to the hotel where he was.
And I went.
>> Judge Judy: To visit him.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: So there was
a prearrangement.
>> Somewhat, yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: What do you mean,
"somewhat"?
That's what I'm trying to figure
out.
>> Before he came, I had no
thoughts of going to see him,
because normally, I would get
his rooms for him when he came
to Las Vegas.
But at this time, I did have him
a room, but we got into it like
a week before.
>> Judge Judy: You got into
what?
>> We had an argument.
>> Judge Judy: That's what I'm
trying to get at.
So, you had an argument a week
before.
Was that in person or over the
phone?
>> It was basically over
text messages.
>> Judge Judy: And what was the
argument about?
>> He texted me and asked me did
I know of anywhere that he could
work while he was out here.
That he needed $1,800, and he
didn't want to ask for it.
And I told him I didn't know of
a club, and I asked him, what
did he need it for?
And he said, "I just need it,"
and he wouldn't tell me what he
needed it for.
So, I ask him again, he still
wouldn't tell me, so I said,
"Never mind."
And he got an attitude about it.
He told me he didn't need my
attitude, he just needed to know
if there was a place that he
could work while he was out
here.
>> Judge Judy: And this was all
in text messages?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: So, then he came
out, you knew he was there, and
you went to see him.
So, your relationship with him
had cooled during that week?
>> It had cooled, actually, in
January to February.
We had started cooling off
because I was getting tired of
his lies.
I had started backing away from
him because of other women.
>> Judge Judy: Fine.
So, tell me what happened on the
14th of May when you went to his
hotel.
>> Well, I pulled up.
I valet-parked.
He told me he was at the
roulette table, so I went in.
He was playing roulette, and
I stood behind him.
He turned around and saw me.
He turned around, gave me
a kiss.
I guess he had made friends with
another guy that was playing
there, so he introduced me to
the guy.
I knew he had already been
drinking all day.
But I asked him if he wanted
a drink.
He said he did.
I went to the bar, got him
a double shot of Hennessy.
[ Voice cracking ]
Got myself a --
[ Sighs ]
Got myself a drink.
I went back to the table.
He was still playing.
When I got to the table, the
cocktail waitress arrived there
the same time, so he had
two drinks.
He downed one, and he finished
playing.
We started to walk to the room.
And on the way to the room, he
drank the other one, put it
down.
There was a security guard
at the elevators.
So, he showed the key.
We went up to the room.
We get in the room, and he turns
on music.
I went over to the window and
I was looking out the window.
He asked me to pour him a drink,
'cause he had brought a big
bottle of Captain Morgan with
him from California.
And he had been drinking on it
prior to --
>> Judge Judy: You don't know
what happened prior to.
He asked you to pour him another
drink.
>> Right. And I did.
He turned some music on.
We were talking, and I started
to have a conversation about a
friend of his that had been
trying to hit on me.
In months before, I had sent him
a screen shot of what the guy
was saying.
And I thou
