Tosh vs. Tosha (11-28)

Tosha and Tosha are neighbors in Memphis, and we can safely say not too 'neighborly' as they don't really get along. Both women wore terrible 'weaves', and Tosha the defendant had a nice mustache going on (does she realize there's been a little something called HD TV, not to mention BIG SCREEN TVs for the past decade or so?).

There was a squabble over whether Tosha Mustache's dog jumped a pretty hgh chain link fence and approached Tosha the plaintiff while she was changing the water in her truck. According to the water woman, she yanked her 1 year old, threw her behind her, and twisted her ankle....and now is suing. She got very emotional and started to cry, but Judge Judy didn't remind her that 'this wasn't an audition and I already have the job'. Hmmmmm.

She did say one of the defendant's daughters did come to her rescue and brought the dog back to their yard. She didn't know which daughter it was until Tosha Mustache started naming her six daughters...Taieka, Taiesha, etc. All T names with different vowels, but none were named Tinkerbelle because I'd remember.

FINALLY, they hit upon a name like 'Tasheema' They mentioned the name a few times, and Tosha Mustache said that was her 13 year old daughter who was in school - and offered her cell phone number. Judge Judy moved on it right away...

Here's where it got a little interesting:

The child - who was in school - answered this strange number on her cell phone right away. JJ asks "Is this Sasheema?" got a quick 'Yes' and then Judge Judy said "Hi Sasheema, this is Judge Judy and I have a few questions about what happened with the dog on September 19..." to which the 13 year old apparently didn't correct her on her name, and knew exactly what JJ was referring to as she answered all questions quickly and efficiently. A 13 year old girl in a class room.

Did I believe this phone call for one minute? NEVER. It was very un-natural and didn't make sense.

Did JJ maybe get a letter from the girl explaining what happened, or did she talk to her at some other time? Possibly. But this phone call - like most of her other calls - was pure 'Baloney!'

BTW, Tosha Mustache won the case. Let's hope she got her 'appearance' money and invested in a good electrolysis.

I came on here to say that that mustache was ridiculous as was her wig. I'm all for self confidence but, no, get rid of the 'stache.

The defendant said they daughter that was being called was at home, I believe. But also, didn't Mrs. Mustache first say she had 4 children, 3 daughters and 1 son, then later said she had 6 children??? I erased it before I could rewatch!

[–] maggiebret 8 years ago

I erased it too but I remember her saying Tatiana, Jaleah and Jeffrey were home. Why I remember those names is beyond me. I don't know if any of those she named was the daughter with her or the one called.

[–] jingles173 8 years ago

Yes yes she did say 4 even held up 4 fingers then changed to 6. Also she said all my kids drive when the plaintiff said it was the one that drive the white car BUT the moustache said she's 13 and that was b4 saying they all drive! Wtf

[–] pvd295 8 years ago

That's the new math they've been teaching students for the past 20 years, I guess. Tosha Mustache must have gone to school in the 90s. Put up four fingers and assume the other person will add 2.

She could have at least shaved it down to a stubble since, as JJ always says "10 million people will see it". If that was my mom I wouldn't want to appear on there with her looking like that. Maybe that's why Taquesha, Takeshi, Tineka, T'naynay, Talisia and Tupac all stayed home.

No, she said she had 4 daughters that drive. Then later she said she had 6 daughters. She had a son, and two non-driving daughters age 13 and 15. So 7 children in all. It almost sounds like one of those math-word problems we used to get in grade school.

My date last night was awful. And then he wouldn't even spend the night.

Lmao I was wondering if someone was going to point out her moustache omg

I can't believe judy called a 13 year old girl lol

[–] Gubbio 8 years ago

Tosha the defendant had a nice mustache going on.....

Glad you clarified that. I wasn't sure what I was seeing. 

To your other point, I don't believe ANY of Judy's phone calls are real.

In the first place, she ALWAYS immediately get the party she wishes to speak to, and they ALWAYS have the info she wants. It all takes 2 minutes.

Life doesn't work that way. Getting through to the right party for a business call takes an Act of Congress, what with menus, wait times, and being directed to the wrong party.

(I hate the phone!)

Not to mention how snippy I've seen Judy act with these people over the phone. I have seen her say things like "Pay attention to me. You're going to answer JUST my question. Do we understand each other?" Even if I had a real dog in a fight and I knew my mom was in court over something and a judge called me, I doubt those people over the phone would let JJ say that without just hanging up on her.

Do all of you seriously believe there's no editing on this show? They aren't going to have us watch her dial the number, wait while someone goes to find the person, wait for the person to get to the phone, etc. No. We watch her dial and then they cut to when the correct person is on the phone and ready.

You are more than entitled to your opinion, but I believe Judy's phone calls are ALL STAGED.

[–] pvd295 8 years ago

It would be very noticeable if they 'cut' and 'edited' this segment. None of that went on - the camera stayed on her the whole time.

YES, her phone calls are staged for 'dramatic' effect, no doubt. Just like when she calls rental companies (furniture, cars), and other businesses and they just happen to have all the info at their fingertips and WILLING to give it to her. My God, I have a hard enough time getting personal financial info on myself (passwords, SS#, account #) - never mind on a complete stranger.

Please.

I was going to point out the same thing, but I didn't have the strength!

Let people believe what ever they want to believe -- and let them think they're right. 

I totally agree with you, but this one was so obvious that nothing was spliced together. It really makes you wonder what some people think they are watching.

People seem to have preconceived notions about such things as editing and laugh tracks. They don't pay close attention, so there's no reasoning with them. Their minds are made up.

Their reality is making things fit their preconceived notions. 

[–] mcolby-125-523976 8 years ago

I don't remember on this particular case but usually they show the litigants while she's one the phone. So it would be very easy to edit it. If it's anything like the people's court she probably has someone else do the actual calling and she may or may not speak to them and then they film the phone scene around what info her staff got.

[–] Bookmanmovielover 8 years ago

I felt the same about the phone call too, pvd.

Not only was I totally appalled by the mustache this woman decided to grace national television on, but I was also appalled by JJ's decision to rule in her favor. Seriously?! Because you don't think a Rottweiler can jump a fence. Did she ever even see picture of the dog? All of the sudden Judy's suppose to be able to tell the limited hank time of an animal that can travel up to 30 to 40 miles per hour, that it can't jump a fence. And that fence didn't look all that high too me. Why didn't Judge Judy just ask to see a picture of the fence caved in? The plaintiff was telling her that the dog clear ran through the fence on it's way out. Well, if she had a picture of the fence busted through, that would have proven her case. I don't know why JJ didn't ask for a picture of that.

[–] jingles173 8 years ago

That mustache was disgusting I can't believe no one said something to her I mean she has 4 daughters wait 6 daughters or 9 or 2 whatever lol

[–] mcolby-125-523976 8 years ago

Right! We have seen much larger fences that dogs have gone over on that show. JJ said she used the car next to it to determine how tall the fence was, and so did I. It came up to the doors which would make the fence only about waist high on a normal person. Even a small dog could jump that if they were determined enough.

[–] DarlaKDavis 8 years ago

More appalling than the mustache was the fact that a mother who fears her one year old child is about to be attacked by a dog would grab that child by the arm and fling her anywhere. It seems to me the natural thing to do would be to drop the water jug, clutch your child to your body and run for the house!

Your wife's a Bigfoot, isn't she, Gus? Your wife is a Bigfoot, isn't she? That's why the b****'s moustache is so mother****in' thick... 'cause you shaved the b**** down and taught her to speak. I know a mother****in' Bigfoot when I see one! Don't bring a Bigfoot into my home, Gus! With my children? The b**** can't talk! She can't walk a flight of steps! She's not trained well, Gus! She can not walk steps! I'll bet she climbs the *beep* outta trees, though, don't she, Gus? Doesn't she? DOESN'T SHE? But you got to not bring her around here - *beep* her! And your mother****in' children? They're Bigfeet, too. They're half-Bigfoot, Gus, 'cause the mother****ers is 6 years old and have Afros 17 inches long. They're little hairy mother****ers, just like their mother. Look at the mother****ers! You know how I found out they was Bigfoot - when I realized your wife was a Bigfoot when I took your kids fishing last week. I put the mother****ers in the boat, Gus, and I took the worm and I put it on the hooks. And they both sat there, and they put their poles down in the mother****in' boat, and slammed their faces in the water for 2 minutes! And I think, "What the *beep* are these kids doin'?" Then they start moving their heads like this and the mother****ers come up with fish! I jumped back and said, "Can you believe this mother****in' *beep* Then the kid took the fish out his mouth and looked at his brother and said, "Goonie-Goo-Goo." What the *beep* is going on here? Normal kids don't do s*** like that, Gus. But I'm gonna tell you something, mother****er. You can take your mother****in' hairy fat-ass wife moustache b**** out the *beep* you can go upstairs and get the mother****in' dog and scoop up the s*** and take Eddie and get these motha****in' long Angela Davis afro-wearin' mother****in' kids of yours and put them in the mother****ing "Goonie-Goo-Goo"-mobile and get the *beep* out! And if my wife don't like that, she can get the *beep* out, too!
