Judge Lauren LOSES IT After DNA Results!

And another thing is she had the baby and tagged the dude name in the picture where she tagged another dude. Now listen, if the baby mom, why didn’t you tag me in the picture? Well, why the picture still stayed on your Facebook? And my family had to tell me, oh, you know, she tagged another dude name in the picture. >> So, Mr. McKe, she sent you a text with the picture of the baby. Your first response was what? >> The baby look like he can be for Donald Trump. [laughter] Like really,

>> Miss Monroe, when he went out of town, did he voluntarily call you at all while he was gone? >> Not one call. >> Maybe maybe two or three times. Like >> talked about it. We worked it out. I eventually moved back in the house picking up a sexual relationship with her again. >> That’s why it’s funny cuz how can somebody tell me who I was sleeping with? Nobody in the room was in the room with me when I was sleeping with somebody. What do I have to lie for? >> Kan told us that he wanted the blood

test. The only way Kesha only denied the baby when her and when him and my daughter was arguing. >> She’s taken into court demanding over $4,000 in baby related costs, but he insists he’s already covered more than his share. He claims he bought everything she asked for and even saved the receipts as proof. He presents a Facebook message where she sent him a detailed shopping list. The list includes items ranging from a car seat to baby lotion showing how much she expected him to pay. According to him,

her demands never seem to end. asking the court to award you $496.52 for baby supplies you say the defendant, Miss Jet, demanded for a child you adamantly deny is yours. >> His biggest issue isn’t just the money, it’s trust. He says she was seeing another man during the same time she was with him. That’s where his doubts began. He felt plain. >> Can he get this? Can he get that? He said, “No, I’m not getting into evidence to show you that I have bought everything she said on this. Everything

she >> When he found out she wasn’t being faithful to him, that was the first red flag that the baby might not even be his.” He claimed she tried to keep it quiet, but the truth came out eventually. I have evidence right here. She wrote me on Facebook demanding that I buy. I said, “Okay, your honor, I have the receipt and it might be the date on.” >> Then came the social media chaos that made everything worse. After the baby was born, she posted a picture of the newborn and tagged the other man in it.

The post went viral in their friend group and everyone started talking. She later said it was an innocent mistake, claiming she tagged the wrong person by accident, but he believes it wasn’t an accident and all it was was a message. >> After she had the baby, she had told me the whole time she was pregnant, she was in a relationship. >> Your honor, I >> She said she was in a sexual relationship. That’s one. >> He’s even brought more proof to show how much he’s already helped. Among his

evidence is a $100 money order receipt that he says he sent her for baby supplies. He insists that he’s been financially supportive since day one, but she fires back saying that’s the only money she ever received from him. To her, it’s nowhere near enough to cover what she spent on the child. >> And another thing is she had the baby and tagged the dude name in the picture. Well, she tagged another dude. Now, listen, if the baby mom, why didn’t you tag me in the picture? Well, why the

picture still stayed on your Facebook and my family had to tell me, “Oh, you know, she tagged another dude name in the picture.” >> Her mother steps in to defend her daughter, trying to shift the blame back to him. She tells the court that he called during the pregnancy promising to be there for his child. She says he talked about being a family and supporting his daughter fully, but now that the baby’s here, he’s suddenly full of excuses. The mother says it’s not fair for him to back out now.

>> You tag yourself in the picture. He said, “Oh, I’m sorry. Why Why would this He said that maybe it was an accident that he mistakenly [music] tagged himself in her picture. That’s what he said.” >> The judge listens carefully, but it’s clear she’s not impressed with either side’s behavior. She points out that both of them made questionable choices along the way. She especially calls out the woman for stirring unnecessary drama online. The judge reminds her that

social media is not the place for paternity confusion. She warns that these actions only make things messier. >> Money order right here. >> He gave me money for a baby. >> Will you have that evidence, please? >> And a receipt for the money order, and that was $100. And then when she was pregnant, I went shopping. >> So, you say you gave her cash multimes, but you just have a receipt for one money order? >> Yes, ma’am. >> So, what about the other times? I I

never kept it. >> And so >> tension fills the courtroom as both sides dig in their heels. The man sits there confident, believing the truth will clear his name. The woman looks nervous, clutching her hands tightly as the judge prepares to reveal the results. The mother watches closely, hoping for a decision in her daughter’s favor. Everyone knows what’s coming next will change everything. >> And that was it. That was the end of the conversation. Did you ever have any conversation with your daughter that

would indicate maybe she was intimate with someone else and someone else could possibly be the father? >> No. The courtroom goes silent as Judge Lake holds the sealed envelope. This single piece of paper will decide who’s been telling the truth all along. It will determine whether he’s responsible for thousands more in baby expenses or completely off the hook. The man looks straight ahead waiting for the words he’s been dying to hear. The woman can barely breathe as the judge begins to

speak. >> The reason why I stopped Okay, >> Facebook tag. I got that. Okay. The Facebook tag and multiple dudes >> cuz multiple dude the the multiple dudes she got pregnant fast and the the departure I was still there and the the real departure when I stopped seeing the baby was because she had threatened me. That’s the reason why I didn’t go. The reason why I didn’t go I stopped seeing the baby is because she had threatened my life. You know what I’m saying? Whatever the results, this case has been

filled with drama, doubt, and deception. Promises were made, hearts were broken, and social media only added fuel to the fire. Now, the moment of truth will finally expose who’s been lying. One envelope will close this chapter of chaos. But for these two, the fallout is only just beginning. >> Pertaining to fourmonth-old Nolani Harvey. Mr. Harvey, you are not her father. >> Mr. McKe, you never heard from Miss Thomas again during the whole pregnancy. >> I haven’t heard from her, your honor.

>> All while she was pregnant. >> All while she was pregnant. >> So you weren’t there when the baby was born? >> No, your honor. >> This entire drama kicked off from a simple match on a dating app. Miss Thomas met Mr. for MC Key and things quickly took a turn that neither expected. What started as casual chatting turned into a real life connection that led to baby Carson. Now she’s in court try to prove he’s the father, but he’s not convinced one bit.

According to him, it was never that serious. >> He met on an online dating website and the conversation quickly jumped offline and into Mr. McKe’s bed. >> Mr. Massi insists he wasn’t looking for love, just a little fun. He says Miss Thomas took things way too seriously after only a few weeks. What he thought was casual, she thought was commitment. Their brief romance turned into confusion and chaos. He claims he never promised her a future, but she was already planning one. That’s when the

tension began. >> I wasn’t ready. Y’all, >> tell me about it, though. You know, a lot of times we’re in situations like this where there are two people on on two different pages. I hear a lot of times when women say, you know, I was to him, and then the man will say, well, I wasn’t committed to her. Or even vice versa. Sometimes, you know, the man is committed and faithful and the woman is. When she found out she was pregnant, she sent him a picture of the positive test.

His reaction was cold and distant. He simply replied, “Whatever you decide to do, let me know.” Then, without warning, he blocked her completely. No calls, no texts, nothing. He vanished for the entire pregnancy. Leaving her to face it all alone. >> I said, “Let me take a pregnancy test.” So, I took a pregnancy test. I took a picture of it and I sent it to him through text message. He was like, “What is this?” I like, “A pregnancy test?” He said, he was like, “Oh, okay. So,

whatever you decide to do, just let me know.” But she called me and she was like 3 months pregnant. I knew I got a phone call. I was at work. I told her I called her back, but I end up blocking her number. >> But Miss Thomas fires back, saying that’s just his way of avoiding responsibility. She insists she was faithful and that the baby could only be his. She explains that her seven other children all have darker skin tones because their fathers were black. In her mind, the baby’s latter complexion is

the biggest clue that Mr. NC Key is the real father. She stands firm in her story. >> Key, you never heard from Miss Thomas again during the whole pregnancy. I haven’t heard from her, your honor. >> All while she was pregnant. >> All while she was pregnant. >> So, you weren’t there when the baby was born? >> No, y’all. >> When baby Carson was born, Mr. Sei didn’t show up at the hospital. He claims he didn’t even know when the baby arrived. His reason, he wasn’t sure if

the child was his. The doubts only grew stronger when he saw the baby’s photo. According to him, Carson’s skin tone and features didn’t match his at all. He even made a crude joke saying the baby looked like Donald Trump. >> So, Mr. McKe, she sent you a text with the picture of the baby. Your first response was what? >> The baby look like he can be for Donald Trump. [laughter] >> Like really? >> The courtroom tension rises as his family takes sides. His mother believes

Carson looks just like her son and says the resemblance is obvious, but his aunt isn’t having it. She told Miss Thomas to go find the real daddy. This family feud has made things even missier. >> 12. You think she might be me? >> You feel like because she has more than one child that she potentially was entertaining a lot of different men. So, it’s not just you. She was sleep. Is that what you’re trying to say? >> One month. >> OH, NOW I GET WHAT you say. Okay. Could

you just talk? >> And if that’s not chaotic enough, Mr. McKe’s personal life is already tangled. He has one daughter and two more babies on the way with two different women who happen to be sisters. The audience gass as the details unfold. It’s clear that his love life is just as complicated as the paternity case itself. The judge can barely keep up. >> I I meet you April the 1st and April the 20. We getting it in. It don’t take long. >> It’s because you she had sex with you so

quickly that you felt like, well, maybe this is the type of person or type of woman who’s also having sex with other people. >> Well, but when we first date, >> Miss Thomas shakes her head as he tries to defend himself. She says he’s just using his other relationships as an excuse to run away from this one. She claims she never wanted drama, just honesty. All she wants is for him to acknowledge his child. But his smirk suggests he’s still not convinced. He believes there’s more to the story than

she’s letting on. You feel like there’s a resemblance? >> My mama say it can be mine, but my auntie say she need to find a dad of that baby. >> Okay. So, even in your own family, the response has been >> right. >> It’s hard. >> It’s off. >> Carson’s 8 months old. So, you’ve been doing this all this time. >> Yes, ma’am. >> Finally, the moment everyone’s waiting for arrives. The judge holds the envelope containing the DNA results. The

courtroom is silent as the truth is about to be revealed. Everyone braces for the verdict that could end all the arguments. She looks hopeful. He looks nervous. The atmosphere is thick with anticipation. >> So, do you have any other kids, Mr. McKe? >> I have a daughter. I have two more on the way. >> Right. >> With your spouse or your girlfriend? >> Girlfriend. >> So, the children were playing. >> So, you have you have twins on the way? >> No, not twin, but two different women.

>> But just when it seems over, Miss Thomas shocks everyone. After the results are read, she blurts out that the real father isn’t Mr. NC at all. The courtroom gasps as she admits it’s actually her ex, the man she dated before she ever met him. The judge’s jaw drops and the audience erupts. What started as a simple paternity case ends in pure chaos. >> It has been determined by this court. Mr. McKe, you are not the father. >> Are you serious? We sit down. We have the discussion. I asked her point blank,

“Am I the father of the child? Who the baby daddy?” >> She looked at me and said, >> “Honest, >> you’re not the father.” Real talk. This whole storm began when Mr. Matlock took a short trip out of town to visit his son for just a week. When he returned home, everything had changed. His girlfriend, Miss Monroe, had moved her ex-boyfriend into their house. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The woman he trusted was suddenly living with another man. That moment shattered everything

between them. >> Mr. Matlock. >> Yes, ma’am. >> You say that a few years back you were suddenly called away on family business. >> She knew I was back and forth from Fort Smith Aville cuz I have a son down in that area back in ‘ 07. and I was down there for a week. >> No. >> Miss Monroe insists she’s not the villain here. She says Mr. Matlock went completely silent for weeks and ignored all her calls. Believing he had abandoned her, she claims she decided to

move on with her life. In her mind, their relationship was already over. But Mr. Matlock says that’s just another one of her lies. He says he never disappeared and that she’s twisting the story to cover her betrayal. >> Wonder where they are if they’re not calling you if you have no contact with them. So, of course, yes, I did call him. Then he never answered my calls and this went on for a whole month. >> What number you call? phone calls from Miss Monroe and not answering.

>> No, your honor, I wasn’t. I would talk to her when I called her, but I don’t I don’t feel like when I’m spending time with my son, I should have to drop spend the time with my son. >> According to him, despite her cheating, he still took her back. He says he forgave her because he truly loved her and wanted to make things work. But just when things started to calm down, she hit him with shocking news she was pregnant. The twist. At first, she told him flat out that the baby wasn’t his.

Then months later, she changed her mind and claimed he was the father after all. >> Ms. Monroe when he went out of town. Did he voluntarily call you at all while he was gone? >> Not one call. >> Maybe maybe two or three times like >> talked about it. We worked it out. I eventually moved back in the house picking up a sexual relationship with her again. >> That’s when everything got even messier. Mr. Matlock missed the first court hearing and by default, the court named

him the father. Since then, he’s been paying $360 every single month in child support. For four long years, he’s been sending money for a child he believes isn’t his. He says it’s unfair and that he’s been trapped in a lie that never should have started. >> We sit down, we have the discussion. I asked her point blank, “Am I the father of the child?” Who the baby daddy? She looked at me and said, “You’re not the father.” Real talk. >> Those payments have taken a heavy toll

on his life. He says the stress destroyed his marriage to another woman and drained in financially. To keep up with the bills, he had to take on a second job. Every paycheck feels like a punishment for something he didn’t do. The emotional and financial burden has pushed him to his breaking point. >> Bas reply back. Next thing I got was I got served with paper saying I missed my date and I was a father by default. I have evidence to prove that. Your honor, >> so you didn’t show you weren’t there.

>> Oh, that work >> by default. >> I am the father. >> You were determined to be the father. >> I’ve established now you’re paying child support in the amount of $360 a month. >> Adding to the chaos, his mother-in-law dropped a major revelation. She says she saw Ms. Monroe’s other man driving her car around town. According to her, that same man was proudly telling people he was the real father of the child. The rumor spread fast and everyone started

questioning who the baby really belongs to. Mr. Matlock says that only confirmed what he already suspected. >> When my wife found out that they had taken child support out for a baby that I didn’t know was mine or not. >> She didn’t worry about her own business. >> We we got into it. She was mad. Like I get into it. So I basically tell her I got into a situation. I don’t want to be with you no more. If you gonna be mad over this, let’s just end it right now before it gets too far and we got to

actually spend some real money to >> Now the case has reached its final moment. Both sides stand in court filled with tension and resentment. Ms. Monroe insists the DNA test will prove her right. While Mr. Matlock says he’s ready to finally clear his name. Years of drama, betrayal, and pain all come down to one test. The courtroom is silent as the truth prepares to come out. >> First of all, my mama, my sisters, my brothers, none of us, none of my family care about. Okay. If the baby was his,

when I tried to uh go see the little girl on a Sunday, she supposed to brought the little girl to see me and she text me out the blue and was like, “Uh, well, she’s not here. I supposed to went to the little girl’s birthday party, but I live in a whole different town.” You dig what I’m saying? >> Judge Lake holds the envelope containing the long-awaited results. Everyone watches closely, waiting to hear who’s been telling the truth. If Mr. Matlock has proven not to be the father, his

nightmare might finally end. But if he is, the payments will continue and his world will collapse even further. The judge opens the envelope and the truth is about to explode. Mr. >> When it comes to 5year-old Kenya Monroe, Mr. Matlock, the wait is over. You are not. >> I knew it. Go find your baby daddy. >> In the beginning, me and Deshawn, like we weren’t really like serious when we had our first son. I did cheat on him in the beginning. >> Mitchell has reached his breaking point.

He’s standing in court today demanding DNA tests for both of his sons because he can’t handle the lies anymore. He says his wife, Miss Dalton, has turned his world upside down. After everything she’s done, he still ended up being the one caring for their two boys. He’s exhausted, heartbroken, and desperate for answers. >> Determine if you are the father of your aranged wife’s two children, 2-year-old Deshaawn Jr. and one-year-old Bishop. >> Despite his doubts, Mr. Mitchell has

been nothing but responsible. He’s had full custody of both boys for years, raising them on his own. He wakes him up, feeds him, and takes him to school all while wondering if they’re even his biological children. He says he didn’t walk away because the kids didn’t deserve to suffer. That’s what makes this situation sting even more. >> You currently have custody of the two boys, so the stakes of today’s results couldn’t be higher. >> Yes, >> Miss Dalton walks into court acting like

she’s the victim. She claims she was forced out of their home and had nowhere to go. But Mr. Mitchell says that’s a total lie. She left him for another man. He says she told him straight up to take the kids and raise them himself. To him, that was the ultimate betrayal. She walked out like their family meant nothing. >> What what she did is she left with another man. She just came home one day, your honor, and just said, you know, here go your kids. Um, take the kids. And just and just walked out.

>> Doesn’t stop there. Mr. Mitchell says his suspicions go all the way back to the start of their relationship. He learned that she was sleeping with another man right around the time their first son was conceived. When he confronted her about it, she denied everything. She even tried to convince him the man who kept calling her phone was her cousin, but he wasn’t buying it. beginning. Me and Deshan, like we weren’t really like serious when we had our first son. Um, I did cheat on him in

the beginning. >> Eventually, the truth came out in the worst way possible. Mr. Mitchell says the other man called and admitted everything. He confessed that he and Miss Dalton had been intimate without protection and that she could very well be pregnant. That moment shattered Mr. Mitchell’s trust completely. He says it felt like his whole world fell apart, but still, he stayed. >> I happened to end up finding out once we was over my sister’s house, you know, some guy calls her phone, your honor. So

when the guy calls her phone, I’m like, you know, who is that? It’s her cousin. That’s what she says. It’s my cousin. You know, so when I said, “Okay.” >> After hearing that, Mr. Mitchell chose to do the right thing. He still signed the first son’s birth certificate because he wanted to believe her. He says he was clinging to hope, convincing himself she wouldn’t lie about something so serious. But deep down, doubt never left his mind. Every time he looked at

his son, the question haunted him. >> Ask her to call him back. Once she calls him back, he talking about they’ve been having sex and [clears throat] and and he ain’t been using he ain’t been using condoms and she might be pregnant. This this what he’s saying. >> There was never a time. >> Then came the second heartbreak. Mr. Mitchell says the cheating didn’t stop and only got worse. He claims Miss Dalton was involved with three or four different men over the years. To make

matters worse, he found out she hooked up with a co-orker right before their second son was born. That’s when he knew things would never be the same again. >> He was born. >> Yes, he did. >> Yes, your honor. I did. >> You did? >> Yes. I I wanted to believe her, y’all. I really did. >> He was there the whole pregnancy and the whole night in every room and everything. >> Was he expressing doubt to you? >> No, he was not. And that’s why it came

to me that he even >> When confronting, Miss Daltton admits she did sleep with the coworker, but instead of taking responsibility, she blames it on their relationship being rocky. She says she felt lonely and unappreciated. Mr. Mitchell shakes his head in disbelief, saying that’s no excuse for betrayal. He says he was working hard every day to provide for the family she tore apart. >> Mr. Mitchell, what is this doubt based on? >> Your honor, it’s the the cheating that she’s constantly been doing. Your honor,

it it’s been three maybe four guys that she didn’t cheat cheated on me with. Probably three since we’ve been married. >> And then after Deshawn was born, you all obviously stayed together because not long after you have another child, >> tense as the truth hangs in the air. Mr. Mitchell’s face shows a mix of anger and sadness. While Miss Dalton looks down, avoiding eye contact. Everyone knows the DNA results will either bring closure or more pain. After years of confusion,

everything will finally be revealed. But no matter what, he says he’ll always love those. So, yes, I did cheat with the guy and I’m not saying that I didn’t. >> Your honor, I came home one day, your honor. Guy is sitting on my couch. >> On your couch? >> And she didn’t made dinner or lunch, whatever you want to call it, for this guy. >> Judge Lake holds two envelopes that carry the answers he’s been waiting for. The results will determine whether Mr. Mitchell is truly the father or just the

man who stepped up when no one else did. If he’s proven right, his heartbreak will finally make sense. But if he’s wrong, the pain will cut even deeper. One way or another, the truth is about to come out. It has been determined by this court. Mr. Mitchell, you are Bishop’s father. [applause] Know >> that’s why it’s funny cuz how can somebody tell me who I was sleeping with? Nobody in the room was in the room with me when I was sleeping with somebody. What do I have to lie with?

>> Kean told us that he wanted the blood test. The only way Keshan only denied the baby when her and when him and my daughter was arguing. This emotional case begins with Miss Hooker, who has come to court hoping to prove that her late ex-boyfriend, Keshan, is the father of her baby girl, Ka. But standing on the other side is Keshan’s mother, Miss Baker, who strongly believes that baby isn’t her granddaughter. What was once a love story has turned into a bitter courtroom battle. Both women claim to

know the truth about Keshan’s final words, and now only a DNA test can. >> Miss Hooker, you are here with your mother because you say the defendant’s son, Mr. Abraham fathered your 10-month-old daughter, Kaya. You say that Miss Baker and her family’s denial of this child has caused you pain, and you are here for an apology and to prove her son is the father. The tension between the families has been building for months. Rumors have been flying, making the situation even uglier. One of

the harshest came from Keshan’s own sister, who cruy said baby Ka was too fat to be her brother’s child. That comment tore Miss Fuker apart. She says the family’s rejection has been unbearable, especially while raising the baby alone. >> It’s not Miss Baker who denies Kenaya. It’s her family who makes my daughter feel some type of way. It’s not Miss Baker. She was too fat to be his baby. She fat like them. And it it’s just a whole bunch of stuff never from Miss

Baker. It’s always family who always have something to say about my grandbaby. >> Miss Baker insists she’s not being cruel. She’s being honest. She claims her son personally told her that Miss Hooker wasn’t faithful. According to her, Kessan said he wasn’t the only man who had been with her. Those words planted deep doubts in the entire family. Now, Miss Baker says she’s simply standing by what her son believed before he passed away. >> But then when we finally found out for

sure, he told me. He said he wasn’t the only boy that had messed with Denia. >> Okay. >> It gets worse when more details come out. Allegedly, another man told Keshan that he had also been involved with Miss Hooker while Keshan was out of town. The timing couldn’t have been where Skeeshan reportedly found out about it on a Sunday and tragically died that same Friday. The family says he passed away heartbroken and confused, unsure whether Ka was truly his child >> on a Sunday and he died that Friday.

>> I’m so very sorry. >> He just told me to promise him that we was going to get a test done because of what the other young man said. And >> Miss Hooker fights back with tears in her eyes. She says she was always faithful and that Keshan only questioned her out of anger during arguments. She insists they loved each other deeply and had plans for a future together. According to her, the idea that she cheated is nothing but gossip meant to tear her down. She says all she wants is

for her baby to have her father’s name. >> Cuz that’s why it’s funny cuz how can somebody tell me who I was sleeping with? Nobody in the room was in the room with me when I was sleeping with somebody. What do I have to lie with? >> Kan told us that he wanted the blood test. The only way Keshan only denied the baby when her and when him and my daughter was arguing. >> The family’s grief and anger have made things even more complicated. Keshan’s sister admits she can’t even look at

baby Ka because it’s too painful. She says every time she sees the baby, she’s reminded that her brother is gone forever. The courtroom grows tense as both women cry, each clinging to their version of the truth. The pain in that room is undeniable to for me personally to look at the baby because it’s just a reminder that my brother’s not here. So it’s not about her and her feeling. When she does come around, it is a sense of sadness for me. So it’s not that somebody looking at her crazy dealing

with >> comes the most shocking revelation. and baby Kaia’s name was completely left out of Keshan’s obituary. Miss Hooker calls it a cruel act of disrespect to her daughter. She says her baby deserves to be recognized as part of Keshan’s legacy. But Miss Baker defends the decision, saying they didn’t have proof that Ka was his child at the time of the funeral. >> I came here cuz this is what I promised my baby and it’s going to be done. >> And the truth is, Miss Baker, and and

you’re right, right? >> You’re right, >> Judge. My daughter really feels some type of way of it’s not that she feels some type of way. It’s like she more hurt. >> In a surprising moment, Miss Baker softens. She says that if the DNA test proves the baby is indeed her granddaughter, she will personally make things right. She promises to go back to the funeral home and have Keshan’s obituary reprinted with Kaia’s name included. She says her son deserves to

be remembered accurately and so does his child if she’s truly his. >> A set of obituaries made so when this baby grow up and she read her dad’s obituary, there’s her name. [applause] >> The courtroom falls silent as the judge prepares to read the results. Everyone’s eyes are fixed on the envelope that holds the truth. Miss Hooker prays for recognition while Miss Baker braces herself for whatever comes next. If the test proves Keshin is the father, this baby will finally be welcomed into the

family. But if not, Miss Hooker may walk away heartbroken once again. >> The percentage of relatedness between Miss Baker, Mr. [music] Abraham, and Keniah Abraham is 0%. And this this is why right >> this case kicks off in pure chaos. Miss Nesbbit insists Mr. Henderson is the father but he fires back saying that one line set off a wildfire of drama in the courtroom. You could practically feel the tension rise. Everyone knew this was about to get ugly fast. >> Mr. Henderson, you claim your case is

simple. You say Miss Nesbbit cheated on you with her neighbor during the window of conception and he is Zian’s biologic father. >> Yes, your honor. >> Apparently, Mr. Henderson went behind Miss Nesbbit’s back and signed the birth certificate. She told him not to, but he did it anyway like some undercover agent on a mission. Now he’s standing in court confused about why he’s legally tied to this baby. Talk about a self-made problem. >> You know that’s your child. You’ve been

knowing from the beginning. You signed the birth certificate. You know the baby yours? >> Yes, I did because >> he did what? I went downstairs to go get my birth certificate and his name was on there. I told him not to put his name on there because I had doubts from the beginning, but he snuck anyways and signed his name on it. >> Judge Lake couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She looked him straight in the eye and said, “You signed that makes you the father.” But Mr. Henderson tried to

backpedal, saying it was just a maybe signature. Sorry, sir. There’s no trial version of parenthood here. >> When you sign a birth certificate at a hospital, you are acknowledging paternity legally. [music] So, when you signed your name, you said, “I’m the father. I’m responsible. I’m going to take care of this child.” >> Yes, YOUR HONOR. >> SO, WHY are you not taking care of the child and only bought some diapers? >> That’s when Miss Nesbet dropped another

bomb. She shouted, “The baby could belong to the neighbor.” The courtroom went silent for a second before gasps filled the air. Mr. Henderson’s face said it all, pure shock and disbelief. But oh, it was only the beginning because she kept coming to me like, “This not your baby, Lon.” Like, I came in the house one night drunk because I came in late. But I come in, she get she get the argument. Oh, she’s not yours. That’s why she’s not your baby. She could be Mr. Brown.

>> Did you say that? >> Yes. >> Things took an even darker turn when she accused him of sleeping with his own cousin. He tried to downplay it, saying that was before you. Like that somehow made it less messy. Judge Lake had to remind them both that family reunions aren’t supposed to end like that. >> He had sex with his cousin and I felt very vulnerable about it. >> Yes, I did. But that was before her. She She already knew about that. >> You know, I received the inbox telling

me she said that she had sex with my little black car and they had it back. >> Then came the plot twist. Miss Nesbbit got into a heated argument with Mr. Henderson and turned to the neighbor for comfort. That comfort came in the form of a massage. But that massage turned into a full-blown situation real quick. Two weeks later, boom, baby news. >> Well, me and Mr. Henderson, we got into an argument and it led in my apartment hallway and Mr. Brown scene. So, he came to my door, he comforted me and it led

off to him coming in, giving me a massage and led off to me. Yes. One night and two weeks later, I end up pregnant and I told Mr. Henderson. >> She also say I had slept with Mr. Brown. >> Yes, your honor. >> Oh, she did. >> She told me she used a condom, your honor. >> The neighbor, Mr. Brown, didn’t deny it either. He came clean saying, “Yeah, it happened once.” But the crazy part, he said they texted under fake name. She went by Nancy. The whole courtroom was

stunned. It was like watching a live soap opera unfold. I >> I I had first met her. She had moved to my apartment, been a couple doors down. I used to always flirt with her to blink her eye at her. You know what I’m saying? Cuz she was a cute girl, you know? But >> But you did have a sexual encounter with her. >> Yeah. One time. >> Mr. Brown tried to defend himself, saying they used protection, but then added, “Maybe it broke.” Moments later, he claimed she told him the baby wasn’t

his. Judge Lake just stared at him like, “Sir, please get your story straight.” No one knew what to believe anymore. >> Only had sex the one time. >> Just that one night on her birthday when her and >> the protection broke. >> I don’t remember protection broke. I was busting a little bit, but I don’t remember no protection broke. You know what I’m saying? Reminds you, I just came near the comforter that one night cuz he them two had got into it. So, I

had went down there comforter one night, gave her a little massage places and you know what happened after that. >> Uh, >> at that point, everyone was talking over each other, shouting about texts, lies, and even old Facebook posts. The drama was spinning out of control. You could see Judge Lake struggling to keep the courtroom from turning into total chaos. She had her work cut out for her. >> And then when they get into it, you know what I’m saying? She write little things

on Facebook. You know what I’m saying? And then when I hit her up, as soon as I get on the phone with her, I still put something on Facebook and it be about me. >> Finally, after all the shouting and accusations, it came down to one thing, the DNA test result. The entire courtroom went silent, waiting for the truth to come out. No more rumors, no more excuses, just cold, hard science ready to expose who the real father is. It has been determined by this court. [music] Mr. Brown, you are not her

father. >> Mr. Rasm claimed that the only reason she denied he was the father was out of spite, not honesty. Every other weekend, he’d drive 160 m just to spend time with his daughter. You could see the exhaustion in his eyes, the toll of those long drives. He said every mile was worth it just to see her smile. That kind of devotion doesn’t come from hate. >> Reason Miss Miller is denying your Zale’s father is because she hates you. You say you’ve been there for your

daughter her entire life and you’re here today to prove you are Zale’s father. You’re not Zal’s father. >> He pulled out receipts to prove he never stopped supporting her. Even after paying court fees, he still bought her clothes and little gifts. What broke me was when he said she always wore the same shirt during their visits. That single image said more than any argument could. It painted the picture of a father who never gave up. I have my child support payment payments right

here, plus an additional $3 fee, plus an additional $60 annual fee just to pay my child support, plus that $3 with every check, plus another $60 every year to this to the state. >> And that’s not very much to get what she needs. >> Ms. Miller admitted she had been with another man around the time the child was conceived. Her words shifted the energy in the room instantly. She said Raasmuson couldn’t be the father because he was living in another state. The tension between them was heavy, like

years of pain packed into a few seconds. No one dared to breathe too loud. She was conceived in March of 2011. He wasn’t even in the same state. He was in Vegas at that time. In March, I wasn’t even with him. I was with somebody else. >> When he got the call that Ms. Miller was in labor, he didn’t hesitate. He clocked out of work, grabbed his keys, and hit the road through a snowstorm. He said he drove faster than he ever had in his life. Somehow, he made it before anyone else arrived at the hospital. That story

alone told you how much he cared. >> At my job as a cashier, I got a phone call and I answered it. They said she was going into labor. I went home quickly, changed my clothes, and I drove about 45 miles in Wisconsin in December, mind you. So, it was about a foot of snow on the ground. I I made it to that hospital in less than 35 minutes. I beat her to the hospital. He later pulled out an old photo of himself as a toddler and held it beside Sally’s. He pointed at their chin, then their dimples, saying,

“Soft, we’re the same.” The courtroom grew still for a moment. I found myself hoping others could see that resemblance, too. It was impossible not to. >> Believe it or not, when I was 3 years old, I had blonde hair. And you say you see a distinct similarity. >> Yes, I do. >> Do you see it, Miss Miller? You don’t. >> I don’t. >> You feel like Zeely looks like the other gentleman you were intimate with. >> When the judge began reading the DNA

results, the silence was definite. Every word felt like it hung in the air longer than it should have. Rasmuson’s eyes were fixed on her lips, desperate for an answer. You could tell this was the moment his entire world revolved around. Everyone in the room could feel his heartbeat. >> Has been determined by this court. Mr. Rasmus, [music] you are not the father. [screaming] Miss Miller. >> Then came the tears, not loud or dramatic, just real. He said his daughter was the reason behind

everything he did. His voice shook, but his meaning was steady. Watching his hands tremble as he wiped his eyes made it impossible to look away. It was pure unfiltered love mixed with heartbreak. >> I am so sorry. I know this hurt you. >> Thank you, your honor. I don’t know what I’m going to do. She’s my whole my whole world. Everything I do is for her. I She was the reason I went to work every day. >> I know you have a bond with her. I feel like my whole world is in ruins now.

>> Judge Lake turned to Ms. Miller and spoke with calm authority. She reminded her that Zali deserved to grow up knowing the truth about who she is. That kind of truth can shape a child’s whole future. Her words weren’t harsh, just on it. But somehow they hit deeper than anyone expect. >> Your child deserves to know who her father is, whether or not that man wants to be in her life physically present and participate. He does have a legal obligation. She’ll one day ask, “Where

is my father?” Miss Mcbirth rose from her seat with fury written all over her face. Her words came sharp and fast, cutting through the air like broken glass. She called the child’s mother every name she could think of. Trash, liar, troublemaker. The room went silent, heavy with tension. You can almost feel the heat of her anger. >> Is trouble. She is trouble with a capital T. She, as a matter of fact, I call her the three T’s. Trash, trouble, and trifling. That’s what she is. The

little boy looks [music] nothing like my son any or any member of my family at all. Can I show it? Can I? >> Absolutely, ma’am. What did you bring? >> Then she pulled a photograph from her purse and held it up like it was proof in a trial. Her voice trembled as she shouted that the baby was too light-skinned to be her grandchild. The way she said it made the whole courtroom freeze. The photo showed her son and the baby side by side. A picture that told its own story. >> A photo of your son and the child in

question. And you say the child looks nothing like your son. >> That baby white as snow. There’s no way that can be my grandchild or my son’s baby. [music] He has no features like none of us. She kept shouting, saying she was done with women dropping off babies like male deliveries. The rage in her voice carried years of bitterness. Her face was red. >> I’m sick of all these little hookers trying to say my son is a daddy. I’m sick of it. I get babies dropped off here, dropped off there. I’m sick of it.

But stop. >> Her hands shaking, but her pain was clear. She said she was tired of girls claiming her son is their baby’s father. It was heartbreaking to watch, even through the noise. >> That baby is not my son. >> Here’s the thing that she does. Sorry. That’s a lie. That’s a lie. >> Well, she’s a liar because you just had a wild fight that got shut down by the police station last week. That sweet. >> Hello. >> The judge quietly placed another photo

on the screen. One of the father kissing the baby on the cheek. For a split second, it softened the tension, but Ms. Mech Birth’s reaction came fast and harsh. She turned away saying the image made her sick. It was like she couldn’t let herself see love where she wanted denial. >> Like your son is kissing the baby. It makes you want to throw up. >> THROW UP. FOR YOUR SON TO BE KISSING AN innocent child >> because it’s not his. >> It doesn’t matter really if he’s showing

THE CHILD LOVE. >> NOT HIS. >> If your brother is sleeping with her and not using protection, couldn’t he possibly be Elijah’s father? >> You know, >> Mr. Hughes, the accused father, finally spoke. He said the baby had called other men daddy before, his voice cracking as he said it. You could see the doubt written across his face. It wasn’t anger, it was confusion and fear. That moment said more than any shouting ever could. to Hughes. Have you ever heard Elijah call somebody else?

>> A few times. Uh she was with just like the last guy she was with. I heard him call him daddy. He’s nowhere near my complexion. He looks dirty for real. >> Tell the truth. Tell the truth. >> When the judge began to speak, the room quieted down again. Her tone was calm but carried undeniable weight. She said there would come a day when that child would ask why his family didn’t want him. That sentence hung in the air like a warning no one could ignore. >> Attaining to 2-year-old Elijah Jackson

and whether Mr. Hughes [music] is the father. Mr. Hugh, you are Elijah’s father. [cheering] [screaming] >> She told them plainly that they’d regret this day for the rest of their lives. The truth, she said, always finds its way back, especially to children who grow up with question. I felt my throat tighten just hearing it. The whole courtroom seemed to sink under the weight of that truth. It was more than a verdict. It was a lesson. >> It’s Mr. accuses son and everything

you’re saying right now. Believe me, you will regret. >> I hope I do. >> No, no, no. I hope I do. >> You will. >> Never have. >> You will. >> Alicia’s world stopped when she heard the shocking truth. The man she called dad her whole life might not actually be her father. Her mother, Diana, admitted she had been with more than one man around the time Alicia was conceived. The words hit like a thunderclap. You could see the color drain from Alicia’s

face. No one could blame her for freezing in disbelief. Miss Ferguson, you’ve brought your mother to court today because you were recently shocked to learn that Ken Ferguson, who raised you your entire life, may not be your biological father. Tears rolled down Alicia’s cheeks as she described growing up feeling invisible. She said her mother only cared about her and her sister when it was convenient. When Diana had no one else, that’s when she suddenly became mom. The pain behind Alicia’s voice made everyone quiet. It

was clear this wound had been open for years. My mom goes through crazy moments and acts like her family never is there for her. Acts like [music] her two daughters are never the only ones that just want her attention and to talk to her and be there for her. So, she was treating us like crap. >> When Alicia confronted her mother about always avoiding the truth, Diana snapped. She stood up abruptly, shaking her head and stormed out of the courtroom. Her daughter’s cries for her to stay echoed in the silence that

followed. Watching her walk away felt like watching a heartbreak in real time. It was unbearable. Do you understand why I think he could not be my father knowing that I don’t even know who my own dad is? Okay, there. Let’s put that out there. >> I understand. >> You know what? >> She’s about to do >> But Miss Manel, don’t >> No. See, this is what you do. You always walk away. You never can talk. >> Shut up. >> Alicia then confessed something she’d

never told anyone. She cheated in every relationship she’d ever had. She said she learned that from her mother, believing love meant lies, secrets, and betrayal. Her honesty hung heavy in the air. You could tell she wasn’t proud, but she wanted to stop the cycle. That moment was raw and real. >> I thought cheating was okay. I cheated on every person I was with until today. And the person I’m with today can’t stand my mom. She thinks I’m going to Yes, I am [music] gay, by the way. I

came out to my mom. That’s the only thing she accepted me with. >> And she did support you. >> That’s the only thing she’s ever supported me. >> Ken finally spoke up, his voice low and steady. He said he’d always carried doubts about being Alicia’s father. He remembered seeing unfamiliar cars outside their house and hearing whispers about Diana’s affairs. Every word carried a quiet kind of heartbreak. You could hear years of pain in the pauses between his sentences.

>> Within like 2 weeks, my sister started calling me saying, “Hey, there’s cars [music] down at the house like every other day. Could be a guy or two guys and a lot of guys before she got pregnant, why we live together. Fresh me to know that she cheated on me.” >> When Diana finally came back into the room, there was no sign of remorse. Her face was cold, her tone sharper than before. She told Alicia that their relationship was beyond repair. The whole room tensed up at those words. It

was a mother refusing to face the damage she caught. >> I’m not a perfect mom. I never tried to be. I never, you know, I did what I could do. >> But I love you and I never once regretted having you. >> So, but that’s all that I came here for was for you to find out. >> Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for the DNA results. You could feel every heartbeat in that room as the envelope was open. The truth was seconds away from changing all their lives. Even

the judge paused before reading the results out loud. The silence was deafening. >> Mr. Ferguson, you are her father. [applause] >> After revealing the truth, the judge turned to Diana with compassion but firmness. She said Diana walked away because she couldn’t bear to face the consequences of her own action. Then she looked at Alicia and urged her not to close her heart completely. Her final words were, “Powerful forgiveness doesn’t erase pain, but it opens the door for healing.” She keeps walking out

those doors because she doesn’t want to face the truth. Because facing the truth means she has owned and recognized not just what she’s done to herself, but what she’s done to [music] you. I don’t want you to give up on your mom just yet. Maybe you can begin to forgive her for those mistakes she’s made. And I’m hoping she’ll begin to forgive herself. >> Miss Hooker stood trembling but strong, saying she was done worrying about what people whispered about her baby. She

felt like every glance came with judgment, like she was being marked by shame. She didn’t deserve. Her words cracked, but her spirit didn’t. You could feel her pain filling the room. It was impossible not to. >> How have you been affected by Miss Baker’s doubts about Kaya’s paternity? >> I’m just sad sometimes. I try to deal with it now. Like, I really don’t care no more. That’s how I feel. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care who felt nothing about my baby. I don’t care.

>> It just seemed like everybody else looking upside my head like I’m an animal or something. Every time I’m sitting down doing something, they looking at me like I’m just outcast of the group. She look like me. So, why is a problem? That’s why I say I don’t care about nothing. Her mother rose next, fierce and protective. She said the real wounds didn’t come from strangers. They came from family who turned their backs. Every word she spoke carried years of disappointment and anger. The silence

afterward was heavy, like everyone was holding their breath. It was the kind of truth that stings to hear. >> It’s not that she don’t care. Her feelings been hurt so she hold the guard up. It’s not Miss Baker who denies Kaya. It’s her family who makes my daughter she was too fat to be his baby. She fat like them. man to say about my grandbaby. My daughter feelings have been hurt. It’s always talk about her like she just tramped and I’m like enough. >> Then Miss Baker, the other woman

involved, spoke through tears. She revealed that her son Kissian had been killed just days after the baby’s birth. The shock hit everyone at once. You could practically feel the sorrow ripple through the courtroom. It was one of those moments that made time stand still. >> May I ask what happened to Keshan? >> He was shot on a Sunday and he died that Friday. >> I’m so very sorry. He just told me to promise him that. >> Through her pain, Miss Baker made a promise that broke everyone’s heart a

little more. If the DNA proved the baby was Kessie’s, she vowed to add the child’s name to his obituary. Her voice shook, but her conviction never wavered. That vow felt sacred, like a final piece of closure she desperately needed. >> I have already told them if it comes back saying Kaya belongs to Khan, I’m going directly back to the funeral home and get a set of obituaries made. So when this baby grow up and she read her dad’s obituary, there’s her name. [applause] >> When the judge began to read the DNA

results, the room went completely silent. You could hear the paper crinkle as she opened the envelope. Every eye was fixed on her face, waiting for the words that would change everything. The tension was almost unbearable. Even the judge seemed to take a deeper breath before speaking. >> It has been determined by this court. The percentage of relatedness between Miss Baker, Mr. Abraham and Kinayiah Abraham is 0%. And this this is why right here, Miss Baker. >> The truth hit like a thunderclap. Miss

Hooker screamed overwhelmed, then bolted from the courtroom. Her sobs echoed down the hallway, raw and haunting. No one dared move for a moment. That sound full of love, loss, and disbelief lingered long after she was gone. >> Cuz you know you slept somebody else. >> Miss Hooker, come here. >> MISS [laughter] NO NO NO. >> HEY, GO IN THERE. GO IN THERE. GO IN THERE. YOU DO. I DON’T CARE CUZ YOU [laughter] >> MR. Patterson’s heart is in pieces today. For four years, he’s believed

little Demarcus Jr. was his own flesh and blood. But now, his ex, Miss Knight, claims another man might be the real father. She insists she never lied. According to her, she told him from the very start that there was only a 50/50 chance the child was his. Still, that doesn’t make this betrayal any easier to face. >> Mr. Patterson, you opened your case today to prove that you, fouryear-old Demarcus Patterson Jr.’s ‘s biological father. >> It all began when Miss Knight ended

things with Mr. Patterson after catching him cheating. Hurt and angry, she quickly moved on to another man named Mr. Sigler. But things didn’t stay that simple for long. Before anyone could process what was happening, she found herself back in Patterson’s arms while still seeing Sigler on the side. It’s like a love triangle that spiraled completely out of control. >> I let Demarcus know when I got pregnant that there was a possibility that I could be pregnant by someone else. >> Despite the confusion, Mr. Patterson

says he never doubted the baby was his. He was right there in the hospital cutting the umbilical cord and crying tears of joy. The moment he held Demarcus Jr., he says every fear vanished. He truly believed fate had given him a second chance to be a better man and father. For him, that little boy was everything. >> Marcus ended up cheating on me within the time we were together, and I ended up leaving with Larius, the alleged father. Basically, we didn’t work out at all. >> Miss Knight, however, paints a very

different picture. She says Patterson is twisting the truth that he was the one who refused a DNA test from day one. According to her, he insisted on naming the baby after himself to lock in that emotional bond. She claimed she warned him about the situation, but he chose to ignore reality. Now, all those buried secrets are coming to light in the court. >> I found out I was pregnant. I called Demarcus and let Demarcus know it’s a I’m pregnant right now, and it’s a possibility that it’s Learius’s baby or

your baby. Demarcus told me, “Come home.” >> To make matters even stranger, the families are tangled together in the most awkward way possible. Mr. Sigler’s mother is actually Miss Knight’s godmother. Because of that connection, both families have been helping raise Demarcus Jr. together. On the surface, it looked like a big loving unit butt behind closed doors. Everyone knew the truth could destroy it all. >> I’ve been there since birth, you [music] know, since he came out the womb. Since

he entered this world, when the doctor first, you know, held him up and finally gave him to my witness him just completely quit crying and looked me dead in my >> Then comes the real bombshell. Mr. Sigler is in court, too. Calm but firm, he says he’s the one who told Miss Knight she was pregnant. He even drove her to the clinic to confirm it. Hearing a hits Patterson like a ton of bricks, it’s a reminder that he might have been living in someone else’s story all along. Why give in to the name and name

this child after him knowing that there’s a possibility? >> I was in love with him. We were together all the time. He demanded it that that’s what he want. He denied the DNA test. So, I’m like, you know what? >> The emotional weight in the courtroom is heavy. Both men clearly love the little boy, and neither wants to let him go. Demarcus Jr. knows them both as daddy, and that’s what makes this so heartbreak. No matter what the DNA test says, one man is about to lose the most

important role in his life. >> And so, you said Miss Sigler is your godmother, >> right? So, the other possible father is your god brother? >> Judge Lake listens carefully, knowing how delicate this situation is. Every word from the witnesses adds another layer of pain and confusion. The judge holds an envelope containing the truth one that will end years of uncertainty. But opening it will also shatter someone’s dream of fatherhood forever. >> Demarcus Jr.’s biological father.

>> Yes, ma’am. In the midst of me and Kaitlin having dealings or intimacy, I I was the one who told her she was pregnant. And when I told her she was pregnant, she say, “Well, if you feel like that, take me to the clinic.” >> Miss Knight looks nervous as the moment approaches. She wipes away tears, insisting she never meant to hurt anyone. Patterson sits stonefaced, his heart pounding in his chest. Across the room, Sigler leans forward, ready for answers he’s been waiting years to hear.

He could hear a pin drop as the judge prepares to reveal the results. >> And so, in the last four years, has Mr. Patterson been there for Demarcus? >> He’s been there. >> He has. Demarcus Jr. called Mr. Patterson daddy. >> Yeah. This is the moment that will decide everything. Will this strange blended family somehow stay together? Will it all collapse in heartbreak? No matter what’s inside that envelope, one thing is certain. Little Demarcus Jr. life will never be the same again. The

truth may finally set them free, but it’s bound to break at least one man’s heart in the process. >> Has been determined by this court. The biological father is Mr. Sigler. >> Correct. >> Who jumped out the window? >> She did. >> I was trying to get free from him. >> But see, but see the whole thing. She leave the house every time. It’s always when a private call come or it’s after 3:00 a.m. That’s the only time he able to get away from his wife. So called

>> what? >> That’s it. This relationship is beyond repair. Pure chaos from start to finish. Motto is in court today, desperate to prove that her ex, Mr. Andrews, is the father of her baby. But he’s not buying it. He swears she’s been unfaithful the entire time they were together. What started as a passionate romance has now turned into a bitter courtroom showdown filled with lies, secrets, and accusations. After 8 years off and on with the defendant, the two of you called it quits just 3 months ago

because he denies your one-year-old daughter, Amarella. Now you want to prove to him that he is her biological father. >> Motto, however, flips the script completely. She insists he’s the one who can’t be trusted. According to her, while they were still living together, Mr. Andrews got another woman pregnant. 9 months into our relationship, she says he had another female expecting his child. Her voice shakes with frustration. Tired of being painted as the villain when she believes he’s no

saint himself. >> 9 months into our relationship, pregnantated another female. Why he was living with me, I moved to Kansas and got away from him. We then started our relationship back. I had planned on having another child with him. >> But Andrew says he has every reason to doubt her loyalty. One day, curiosity got the best of him and he snipped through her phone. What he found made his blood boil a threat of explicit text messages from another man. He says that was the moment everything changed. He

claims those messages were proof enough that she was living a double life. >> You saw sexual text messages from another man. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> Explain. >> Same the same person who I serious text message from is the same guy who she was having an affair with all alone from the whole get-go. So when I seen that text message, my whole thought process was >> The story doesn’t stop there. It actually gets even more dramatic. Andrews recalls a night when Motto got a

private phone call around 3:00 a.m. Moments later, he says she jumped out the window and disappeared into the night. The courtroom gasps at the image of such a bizarre escape. When asked why, Manu insists she had no choice but to run. >> Correct. >> Who jumped out the window? >> She did. >> Trying to get free from him. >> See, but the whole thing she house every time is always when the private car come or was at 3:00 a.m. That’s the only time he able to get away from his wife. So

called >> what? >> That’s it. >> Her version of events paints Andrews as controlling. She says that on that night he barricaded the front door, trapping her inside. I just needed to get out and calm down. She says he wouldn’t let me leave. According to her, that late night window jump wasn’t about another man. It was about getting away from his anger and finding peace. Still, it’s a story that sounds too wild to believe. >> Get that you all were in a bad place in

your relationship. What does trust have to do with playing Wonder Woman and jumping out the window? >> I couldn’t I couldn’t walk out my front door cuz he was barricading my front door. >> Andre says he’s got even more evidence against her. One day while cleaning her car, he claimed he found a stash of unused condoms hidden in the glove compartment. To him, that was the final straw. “What were those for?” he asked her, but says she could never give a straight answer. In his mind,

[clears throat] it was undeniable proof that something shady was going on behind his back. >> Found a condom. >> I was using protection and it ain’t >> but she know I’m the one who take my daughter to daycare every morning. I don’t want to get the drugs, take daycare every morning. Little dirty people could take the condom and throw it away. >> The betrayal, he says, goes even deeper. Andrews claims Motto admitted there could be two other possible fathers. She

told me that herself multiple times. He insists. Motto immediately fires back saying that’s a complete lie. She argues that she only agreed with his accusations out of exhaustion, hoping he’d finally stop attacking your character. >> Cover times. >> Number four. Four months ago, Miss Hail told me about other potential fathers. >> Correct. >> Really? >> And out of spite, she go to run in her mouth and when she get mad, she’ll tell him herself. >> Full of that.

>> Despite the tension, Andrew didn’t completely walk away. He was there when the baby was born. He even cut the umbilical cord, trying to believe the child was his. But deep down, he admits he couldn’t silence the doubts. Every time he looked at the baby, a voice in the back of his head whispered, “What if she’s lying?” That uncertainty has haunted him ever since. >> No honor. This is what I said, and I’m going to let you know what happened. He was stating saying, “This person and

this person is her daddy.” I said, “Okay.” >> Then she was having either way. So, I just agreed with him cuz that’s what he wanted to hear. So, I said, “Okay, I’m done arguing with you.” You okay then? >> You think I would? So you >> But it turns out Andrews isn’t as innocent as he claims. Motto drops her own bombshell in court. She says he’s been hiding three other children from previous relationships. He’s got kids he doesn’t even talk about. She tells Judge

Lake. If true, that would mean he’s been keeping massive secrets of his own while accusing her of dishonesty. >> Another female pregnant in the same town that we’re living in. I’m about to give birth a month later. He was there. Got to see this first child born. Out of whatever six or seven children that he does have, this is the first child that he got to see born. So that was very special for him, me as well, having him there. >> Judge Lake listens patiently as both sides hurl accusations and emotional

confession. The tension between them is thick enough to cut with a knife. Every claim is met with denial. Every memory twisted into a different version of the truth. The courtroom feels less like a legal hearing and more like a battle of broken hearts. >> He has two other children out three other children outside of the relationship >> during our relationship. >> No, my >> What kind of mess is this? >> She’s lying. She’s lying. You going to get the side eye now.

>> Now everything rests in one small envelope. Judge Lake holds the DNA results that will decide it all. Will Model finally clear her name and prove that Andrew is a father? Or will this explosive relationship end with yet another painful betrayal? One thing’s for sure. When the truth comes out, someone’s entire world is about to crumble. >> Determined by this court, Mr. Andrews, you are the father. [applause] >> That’s when I should have known that. But at some point you found out

>> two weeks later. But you continue I did. By then I felt like I was stuck. I was young and I felt like I was stuck. >> This case kicks off with Miss Phillips dragging her ex Mr. Gibbs to court. She’s demanding more than $1,000 in baby expenses for their daughter Jordan. According to her, he’s refused to offer a dime of support since the child was born. She insists she’s carried the entire financial burden alone. But Mr. Gibb says he has solid reasons for keeping his wallet closed. Miss

Phillips, you are suing your ex-boyfriend for $1,000 in child care expenses you claim he has ignored since denying that he is the father of your twomonth-old daughter, Jordan, whom he refuses to meet. >> From his side, he believes Miss Phillips can’t be trusted. He claims she’s been involved with multiple men and never met the standards he expected in a partner. Their relationship, he says, was full of drama, arguments, and mistrust. He even recalls a moment after a spiritual convention when he told her to pack up

and leave. To him, that’s when things truly fell apart. You claim that Miss Phillips did not live up to your standards and has a long history of sexual promiscuity. You believe you are not father of her baby and therefore say owe her nothing. >> As Phillips, however, has a completely different story. She says Mr. Gibbs wasn’t some innocent victim. He was playing his own games the entire time. She admits that she did cheat on him once, but insists it was out of hurt, not desire. After learning he had been

unfaithful, too, she says she wanted him to feel the same pain she did. It was revenge, not love. I think it started for me when, you know, he went to this convention, a spiritual convention, and he came home that night. He was just like, “You got to go. I just must stop you. You’re in a relationship. He’s the one for me.” That’s how I felt. >> The courtroom gets even tenser when Mr. Gibbs’ sister, Orian, steps forward to testify. Orian says something about Miss Phillips’s pregnancy always seemed

suspicious. She recalls how Philip suddenly disappeared for 2 weeks and went to another state while she was expecting. “Who does that when they’re pregnant?” she asks the court. It left the family wondering what she was hiding. >> That’s when I should have known that that point. You found out two weeks later, but you continue. >> Yes, I did because I by then I felt like I was stuck. I was young and I felt like I was stuck. >> As Phillips doesn’t deny leaving town,

but says her reasons were misunderstood. She explains she was overwhelmed, exhausted, mentally drained from the constant fighting with Mr. Gibbs. According to her, the trip wasn’t about another man. It was about escaping his negativity. I just needed space. She tells Judge Lake. I wanted peace for me and my baby. >> Okay. Well, first of all, it’s just too much between the both of them back and forth. This has been going on for a year. And when my brother first told me that she was pregnant and that she did

have a child, I thought it was strange that she left and went to Tampa cuz I felt like, okay, well, if it is his baby, you’re not just keeping it away from him, but you’re keeping away from the rest of his family, too. >> Her mother later takes the stand to defend her daughter’s character. She tells the court that Miss Phillips isn’t a bad woman, just one who made a few mistakes while trying to navigate a toxic relationship. She also points out that Mr. Gibbs isn’t exactly a saint

either. He’s not perfect, she says bluntly, so he shouldn’t act like he is. >> Can’t do it no more, your honor. All this drama he would take. I was pregnant. I was trying to be pregnant. Stressing you out. >> Yeah. Trying to be stressed out. I was not trying to be stressed about him. And he know why. Cuz he first came off denying it. Then we get argument after argument. >> Meanwhile, Miss Phillips doubles down on her frustration. She tells the judge that Mr. Gibbs hasn’t contributed a

single scent toward their child’s upbringing. From diapers to doctor visits, she claims she’s handled it all alone. He calls me a liar, she says. But where was he when our baby needed formula? Her voice cracks under the weight of exhaustion and anger >> saying, “Oh, I can’t take it no more.” But look, look what we’ve been going through for the past four, three years of chaos. >> And I was pregnant. >> So he going to get pregnant. But then now you take off, right? When right when

things are getting >> to go to Florida. And what did you think? >> I thought it was strange because I mean pregnant by someone and I wouldn’t have wanted that person to step up and even if I’m not I’m having problems with that, I’m going to think about my child. >> Mr. Gibbs just crosses his arms saying he won’t pay until he knows for sure Jordan is his biological daughter. He feels like he’s being used, trapped in a situation he didn’t create. I’m not

paying for another man’s child, he argues. His tone makes it clear that his pride is just as wounded as his trust. But Judge Lake reminds him that facts, not feelings, will decide the outcome. >> I wouldn’t just leave while I’m pregnant. Cuz that’s just not natural. >> The baby comes first, and my baby’s health is important to me. If I’m stressed out, of course, I mean, it’s anything that can happen when you pregnant. If you got a child, you know, then when you pregnant, you can’t be

stressed. >> And finally, the moment everyone’s been waiting for arrives. Judge Lake holds the envelope containing the DNA results that could end all speculation. If the test proves Mr. Gibbs is the father, he’ll owe over $1,000 and much more in future support. But if he’s not, he’ll walk out with his reputation restored. Either way, this courtroom is about to explode with emotion once the truth is revealed. >> This court has determined that you are her father. [applause]

>> So, after he didn’t show up with the leasing office, >> I left. >> And how soon after you were intimate with Mr. Sensible did you go down to see your ex? >> It was soon. It was soon. So, you’re admitting to that? Is that evidence you have for me? Jerome, will you pass? >> This story begins with Mr. Sensible, a man who’s already endured more than most. He survived being shot twice. Now, all he wants is one simple answer. Is Ms. Brown’s baby truly hit? But what

should have been a clear question is turned into a tangled web of accusations and lies. The courtroom is tense and everyone seems to have a different version of the truth. >> Mononttoya, you and your son, Mr. [music] since claim you’ve been lied to by the defendant about the paternity of her child on numerous occasions. >> Yes, your honor. >> But she says he’s just a total mama’s boy. >> Miss Brown, on the other hand, isn’t holding back. She says Mr. Sensible was

never truly a partner, just a mama’s boy who let his mother control everything. According to her, his mom even sabotaged their relationship. She says things fell apart when he refused to sign the lease for the apartment they were supposed to share. How can you build a family with someone who won’t even commit to a home? She added. I didn’t know that Gregory was such a mother’s boy and that I was be dealing with his mother. How am I a mother’s boy? >> I would be dealing with his mother. I

didn’t lay with her. I laid with him. He was We had a conversation and he had said that he was ready to So, I had found a apartment. I had a apartment that was ready for us to sign the paperwork. >> Mr. Sensible fires right back saying their relationship was never as serious as she claims. He says while they were together, she was still chatting with her ex behind his back. To him, that was a deal breakaker. How could I take her seriously when she was still entertaining another man? He tells the

court. He insists he was never sure if he was the only one in her life. >> The relationship she was still talking to her, you feel me? Her and her ex, you feel me? So like what? What was I supposed to do? >> You know the honest to God truth [music] that you told me you was ready to settle down. >> Then Miss Brown admits something shocking. Just a week after they split up, she traveled to another state and reunited with her ex. That ex is now the second possible father of her child. She

insists it wasn’t planned, just something that happened during an emotional time. Still, it leaves a big question hanging. Who really fathered baby Mallayia? >> So, after he didn’t show up with the leasing office and how soon after you were intimate with Mr. Sensible did you go down to see your ex? >> It was soon. >> So, you’re admitting to that? Is that evidence you have for me? Jerome, will you pass that? >> The plot thickens when Mr. Sensible’s mother takes the stand. She says she

caught Ms. Brown lying about how she went to visit that ex. Ms. Brown told everyone she took a plane, but grandma found out she actually drove there. if she’ll lie about that. The grandmother says, “What else is she hiding?” Her voice trembles as she talks about her son’s pain. >> But even looking at this calendar, it lets me know that she even lied about something else because I was told she took a plane to Oklahoma and then when she got off the plane, she was throwing up, I guess, experiencing morning

sickness. Now, here we go. You drove. >> Greg knew. >> You told me. I don’t know what you told Greg or what he >> I never told you that I took a plane to Oklahoma. >> Then comes the wildest twist of all. The couple already took a home DNA test before coming to court, and the results said Mr. Sensible was not the father. Everyone thought the mystery was solved, but that piece didn’t last long. Miss Brown now admits that she tapered with the test results herself. >> The timeline of lies is week one. I

purchased the DNA test to which she agreed to take 8 weeks. 2 months for her to send it in. And the whole two months she said, “I sent it. I sent it. I sent it.” Finally, she sends it in the DNA sample. Week 11, the results came in. I got an email in the middle of the night. >> And what did the results say? >> That there was zero probability of paternity. She confesses she swapped the DNA samp. Instead of using her baby’s real swab, she used one from one of her other children. Her excuse, she says she

was scared and didn’t want to deal with his family’s judgment. The revelation shocks the entire courtroom. Even Judge Lake pauses, visibly stunned that someone would go that far. >> I get told by my son that she said she lied and that she swapped one of her other kids on purpose so that he wouldn’t be the father. >> Wait a minute, Miss Brown. Did you say this? >> I said that out of us being upset. >> So once again, >> him talking crazy >> once again husting me out and

>> Mr. Sensible’s mother is heartbroken. She says this chaos has ripped her family apart and destroyed her faith in people. My son’s been through enough. She says tearfully. He doesn’t deserve more pain. After surviving two shootings, she says all he’s ever wanted was peace and now even that’s being stolen from him by lies and deceit. At the end of the day, my son got shot once. He got shot again after these results. That’s week 14. Maybe by week 19, he was shot again and almost died.

So here we are. We have a a still a child up in the air and that’s what brings us here to paternity court. >> Do you hope she’s your grandchild? >> I don’t know. >> Miss Brown though insists she’s not the villain here. She claims his mother is bind meddling from the very start, spreading rumors and trying to control everything. She’s been lying on me for years. Ms. Brown says that woman doesn’t want her son to take responsibility. She just wants to blame me for everything.

The tension between the two women is thick and unrelenting. And >> this is my son. I can lose him at any given time. He’s been shot twice. Who’s to say the third time isn’t going to be it? My son almost died when he was 2 weeks old. So, if she wants to consider him a mama’s boy, that’s with him getting shot. >> And caught in the middle of it all is baby Malia. The grandmother says she sees her own reflection in that child’s face, convinced it’s her granddaughter.

She’s already bought baby clothes, toys, and dreamed of family photos. Now, that dream might crumble depending on what’s inside that envelope. Everyone in the room can feel the emotional weight. >> Why are you so emotional, Miss Montoy? What are you feeling? I don’t know. I don’t know what to feel. I just want the truth to come out. >> Like, and another reason is because the baby looked like it got it favors me. So, I’m just thinking like, why I can’t be in my child’s life if that’s my

child? Like, it looked like me. >> Judge Lake holds the envelope that contains the truth, the DNA results that will end all the guessing. Will this man who survived bullets finally get the piece he’s been searching for? Or will this courtroom reveal one more painful betrayal? The answer is seconds away. And whatever it says, no one’s life will be the same after this. has been determined by this court. Mr. Sensible, you are not her father. >> And get her name what it’s supposed to

be, Ava. Just Miller. And that meant so much to my son. And that’s why I know it because I lost a daughter and her name was AA. She was [snorts] 15. That was they was very close. So that’s where her name come from. >> This emotional case begins with Ms. Kyle who has come to court to prove that her late boyfriend James is the biological father of her baby girl, Ava. Across from her sits Miss Light, James’ mother, who is still grieving the loss of her son, but demands clarity. She says she

loved Ava like her own grandchild, but needs proof before accepting her completely. The courtroom is filled with tension, pain, and unanswered questions. >> Miss Kyles, you have opened your case to prove to the defendant that her deceased son, James, is your 14-month-old daughter, Ava’s biological father. >> Miss Lighten’s sister had serious doubts before he passed away. According to her, James once told her that another man picked up Miss Kyle’s phone and boldly claimed to be Ava’s father. That moment

stuck with her and made her question everything. Now, she just wants the truth so she can properly honor her son’s memory. For her, this isn’t about drama. It’s about closure. >> Is light. You say Miss Kyle’s a pathological liar. And you claim that as much as you would love for a piece of your son to be here, you don’t trust baby Ava belongs to him. >> Miss Kyle firmly denies ever being unfaithful. She says the idea that someone else could be Ava’s father is absurd. According to her, the couple’s

arguments were about typical relationship struggles, never about cheating. She says James always believed Ava was his child, even through their roughest times. She insists he never once doubted her loyalty. >> And so, Miss Kyles, did another man answer the phone? >> That never happened. Me and James never had any fights or argument about any females, any males. I was hormonal. >> Then comes a shocking revelation that stuns the entire courtroom. Miss Kyle admits that after giving birth, she

briefly gave baby Aba to a family member to care for. That relative temporarily renamed the child Skyler. She says she regretted it immediately and soon reclaimed her baby, changing her name back to Ava, the name she and James had lovingly chosen together. >> When do you let him know that the baby’s here? >> I decided to give Ava away to a family member and she named Ava Skyler. >> Miss Light listens in disbelief, unable to hide her emotions. For her, the name Ava carries deep sentimental value

because James adored his little girl. The grandmother recalls how her son even tattooed the name Ava on his face as a permanent symbol of love. He wanted the world to know she was his, she says, tears forming in her eyes. He was so proud of that baby. >> She took her back to Chicago. A week later, I wanted my baby back. She didn’t want to give her to me, so I had to call my mother to get her back. She got her immediately. My mom went to go get her. My mom dropped Ava off to Miss Lighthouse where James was staying at.

The story only grows more heartbreaking from there. Miss Lodge shares that James was devoted to raising Ava and spent every moment he could with her. On the day he was tragically killed, he had baby Ava right there in the car with him. The thought of her son’s final moments holding his child haunts her every day. She was his joy, the grandmother says softly. >> Because my son had tatted on his face, Ava Jashe. My son would have told me something. My son would have got the baby’s name changed if he had known.

>> Then the case takes another twist involving Ava’s paperwork. Miss Lat says she discovered through text messages that the baby’s legal name is still listed as Skylar on her birth certificate. Even worse, the document doesn’t include James’s last name. For the grandmother, that’s more than just a technical issue. It feels like her son’s memory is being erased from his daughter’s life. >> He was raised she was with her daddy. Y’all was in Illinois at this point. She

was with her father when he passed away. She was in a car. >> Miss Kyle explains that she never had a chance to fix the paperwork properly. Between grief, financial stress, and caring for an infant, she says things got overwhelming. She insists that it wasn’t intentional and that she wants Ava to carry James’s legacy proudly. I would never erase him, she says, her voice breaking. He loved us both too much for that. >> You didn’t have to tell me this, but my grandbaby name is not Ava Jashe. Her

name is Skyler Angel. And that’s how I found out a couple of weeks ago. Oh, my son’s obituary and everything is Ava Jashe Miller. >> Miss Light tells the court she simply wants the truth. If Ava is truly her granddaughter, she plans to legally change her name to Ava Jash Miller, a name with deep family meaning. I just want to give her the name my son chose. She said for her, it’s not about ownership. It’s about keeping her son’s spirit alive through the next generation.

>> And get her name what it’s supposed to be, Ava Jay Miller. And that meant so much to my son. And that’s why I know it because I lost a daughter and her name was AA. She was 15. That was they was very close. So that’s where her name come from. Jud. Finally, Judge Lake opens the envelope that holds the DNA results. The entire courtroom falls silent, everyone bracing for the truth. Will this grieving grandmother get the confirmation she’s been praying for? Or will she face even more loss? The answer

inside that envelope will not only determine AA’s parentage, but also the future of two families forever bound by love, pain, and one unforgettable tragedy. >> The percentage of relatedness between Ms. Light and Skyler Ava is 99%. You are.
