Michigan Woman Is Suing Man For $10,000 For Failing To Show Up For A Date Claiming He Deliberately And Intentionally Hurt Her
A Michigan woman is trying to sue a man for $10,000 for standing her up and the judge hearing her case got into a wild shouting when she accused him of insulting her intelligence.
The Woman identified as QaShontae Short, is suing Richard Jordan in Flint, Michigan for intentional infliction of emotional distress in the court of Judge Herman Marable Jr, according to TMZ.
The suit was filed back in 2020 and Short claims Jordan ‘did not show and left on her mother’s birthday and her mom had just passed away,’ claiming he had intentionally and deliberately hurt her by doing so.
During video posted online of the hearing, Jordan, who appears to be at home, says that he’s being sued for $10,000 because of a bad date and says little else. Short appears to be taking the Zoom conference hearing at an airport.
“To be honest with you sir, I thought this was just gonna be thrown out,” Jordan deadpans to the judge. “We had a date, one date, and nothing else after that, and now I’m being sued for $10,000. I think this is a waste of your time.”
In the now viral video, Short and Judge Marable fiercely argue over whether or not standing someone up for a date is a criminal offence, with the judge eventually ripping off his large shield mask to yell at at Short as she triest to shout over him.
Short claims that Jordan perjured himself based on her claim that he lied about going on the date with her, while Marable angrily declares that Short cannot determine that.
Unsatisfied, Short asks about transferring the case to circuit court and repeatedly asks ‘Are we done here?’ angering Marable regarding her misunderstanding of the law.
Eventually, Judge Marable orders the claim be moved to a circuit court, after Short had both been muted and jumped off the Zoom call.
Jordan can do little but shake his head, but his head in his hands and look baffled.
Short has a history of filing silly lawsuits, including several in 2020 against the Flint Police Department for $300million and AT&T that have both since been dismissed.
Short now must pay all fees and expenses for the transfer within 56 days or the case will not only not be heard by the circuit court, it will be dismissed.
