Speaker 5 (10:01):
And you'll make her breakfast in bed.
You know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
All rise.
It is now time for Am I theJerk Court the Honorable Janine
Ford presides.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
You got your robe and wig ready?
Yes, I do.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, janine, here's the story.
This person wants to know am Ithe jerk here?
My entire family is calling meselfish and greedy for doing
this.
This all came to a headyesterday, but here's some
backstory.
My mom decided to use my sharedaccount she has her own card,
but it's my name on the accountwith her to buy over five
thousand dollars in products foravon because she believes it's
(10:42):
gonna change her life.
Oh, I have, uh, and for thelongest time I've given her
access to my account becausesometimes I help with bills and
what have you.
But I have been saving moneybecause my dog needs a liver
shunt, surgery, scans andrecovery meds, and she took it
upon herself to take the moneyand won't give it back.
My entire family is calling mecrazy for prioritizing my dog
(11:08):
over my mom, and this came to ahead when I called the police
about it and they said it's acivil issue.
But my family hates me.
Now my little brother said I'ma huge jerk.
This person wants to know am Ithe jerk for pressing charges
against my mom for stealingmoney from my dog surgery fund
for Avon products?
(11:29):
What say you?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
I think this is such a dumb all the way around so
stupid.
What say you?
I think this is such a dumb allthe way around so stupid.
First of all, he's he's, youknow.
I mean he's back backpedalingnow and he's a little bit of a
jerk and a little bit of not,but the whole point is is why he
had her in his account and avonproducts or a dog, you know,
and I want to know the otherkids, the whole dysfunctional
(11:51):
family thing here.
Are they giving mom that muchmoney for Avon products?
I just think the whole thing isa mess.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It is a mess.
I don't think he's a jerk, butI don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
But he's stupid to let it in the first place.
But now that he's blindsided heshouldn't have had her in.
He can help her out without herhaving access to his account.
That's the big thing.
You can help mom out all thetime.
You know forwarding like itwithin an account.
You can forward like your kids,you can forward some money into
their accounts, but you don'thave to have them have main
access to your account.
So it's kind of his fault thatthat all happened.
(12:25):
But he's not the jerk fortrying to pull it back and he
needs to get her off his account.
That is dumb.
And the other siblings need tohelp mom and and or help him
with his dog, because avonproducts or a dog surgery, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know avon, oh my gosh but he shouldn't have
called the cops and pressedcharges against his mom.
Should he have that?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
that might have been a little far, but we don't know
how this has been going along.
You know what I mean.
And if he's looking at his dogand his dog's gonna die without
this surgery and he's not sureyou know what I mean, right?
So I don't know.
It just sounds like a realmessy family and he shouldn't
have set it up that way.
But I don't think he's the jerk.
You know the court case and allthat.
Maybe he didn't have to go thatfar.
But maybe his family is justthat weird.
(13:06):
And why aren't his siblingshelping out with the surgery now
?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
All right.
Well, let's see what some ofour Facebook Live jurors are
saying.
Liz is saying it's not dog overmom, it's Avon over the dog,
and she says not.
Aren't saying, oh, mom is kindof being selfish with Avon.
This is a mess.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
We're going to go ahead and help with the dog
surgery something, and thenlet's take mom off the account.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, all right, all rise.
Janine has ruled.
You are not the jerk forpressing charges against your
mom for stealing money from yourdog surgery fund for her Avon
habit.
Avon, oh my gosh.
Yeah, janine, thanks for havingfun with us this morning.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
All rise.
It is now time for Am I theJerk Court the Honorable Janine
Ford presides.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
You got your robe and wig ready?
Yes, I do.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, janine, here's the story.
This person wants to know am Ithe jerk here?
My entire family is calling meselfish and greedy for doing
this.
This all came to a headyesterday, but here's some
backstory.
My mom decided to use my sharedaccount she has her own card,
but it's my name on the accountwith her to buy over five
thousand dollars in products foravon because she believes it's
(10:42):
gonna change her life.
Oh, I have, uh, and for thelongest time I've given her
access to my account becausesometimes I help with bills and
what have you.
But I have been saving moneybecause my dog needs a liver
shunt, surgery, scans andrecovery meds, and she took it
upon herself to take the moneyand won't give it back.
My entire family is calling mecrazy for prioritizing my dog
(11:08):
over my mom, and this came to ahead when I called the police
about it and they said it's acivil issue.
But my family hates me.
Now my little brother said I'ma huge jerk.
This person wants to know am Ithe jerk for pressing charges
against my mom for stealingmoney from my dog surgery fund
for Avon products?
(11:29):
What say you?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
I think this is such a dumb all the way around so
stupid.
What say you?
I think this is such a dumb allthe way around so stupid.
First of all, he's he's, youknow.
I mean he's back backpedalingnow and he's a little bit of a
jerk and a little bit of not,but the whole point is is why he
had her in his account and avonproducts or a dog, you know,
and I want to know the otherkids, the whole dysfunctional
(11:51):
family thing here.
Are they giving mom that muchmoney for Avon products?
I just think the whole thing isa mess.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It is a mess.
I don't think he's a jerk, butI don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
But he's stupid to let it in the first place.
But now that he's blindsided heshouldn't have had her in.
He can help her out without herhaving access to his account.
That's the big thing.
You can help mom out all thetime.
You know forwarding like itwithin an account.
You can forward like your kids,you can forward some money into
their accounts, but you don'thave to have them have main
access to your account.
So it's kind of his fault thatthat all happened.
(12:25):
But he's not the jerk fortrying to pull it back and he
needs to get her off his account.
That is dumb.
And the other siblings need tohelp mom and and or help him
with his dog, because avonproducts or a dog surgery, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know avon, oh my gosh but he shouldn't have
called the cops and pressedcharges against his mom.
Should he have that?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
that might have been a little far, but we don't know
how this has been going along.
You know what I mean.
And if he's looking at his dogand his dog's gonna die without
this surgery and he's not sureyou know what I mean, right?
So I don't know.
It just sounds like a realmessy family and he shouldn't
have set it up that way.
But I don't think he's the jerk.
You know the court case and allthat.
Maybe he didn't have to go thatfar.
But maybe his family is justthat weird.
(13:06):
And why aren't his siblingshelping out with the surgery now
?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
All right.
Well, let's see what some ofour Facebook Live jurors are
saying.
Liz is saying it's not dog overmom, it's Avon over the dog,
and she says not.
Aren't saying, oh, mom is kindof being selfish with Avon.
This is a mess.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
We're going to go ahead and help with the dog
surgery something, and thenlet's take mom off the account.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, all right, all rise.
Janine has ruled.
You are not the jerk forpressing charges against your
mom for stealing money from yourdog surgery fund for her Avon
habit.
Avon, oh my gosh.
