A Troubling Claim of Pregnancy
Alejandro Gonzalez, 19, brought a case against Ms. Bay, also 19.
He claimed Ms. Bay lied about being pregnant with his child.
This alleged deception led to significant emotional distress and financial costs for Alejandro and his parents.
Ms. Bay's mother was present in court, standing with her daughter.
Alejandro's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rivello, also stood with him.
The Beginning of the Relationship
Alejandro and Ms. Bay met in February 2018.
They both worked at Walmart.
Their relationship was not a traditional dating one.
They had an intimate encounter in the middle of February 2018.
Ms. Bay later claimed they had sex again after she found out she was pregnant.
The Pregnancy Announcement
Ms. Bay took a pregnancy test on March 25th.
She informed Alejandro about her pregnancy around the end of April.
Alejandro's parents questioned the couple about birth control.
Both young people stated their parents had discussed birth control with them.
Judge Judy asked them what kind of "stupid" they were.
Alejandro stated he took full responsibility for his actions.
Judge Judy asked if he had reimbursed his parents for paternity tests or court costs.
He admitted he had not.
A Car Accident and Hospital Visit
Ms. Bay claimed she was in a car accident in April.
She stated she was told she was pregnant at the hospital after the accident.
This claim came after she had already taken a pregnancy test in March.
This created an early inconsistency in her story.
Parents' Involvement and Doubts
Alejandro's parents became involved after learning about the pregnancy.
Mrs. Rivello offered to go to doctor's appointments with Ms. Bay.
Ms. Bay declined, stating she preferred a girlfriend to accompany her.
Ms. Bay's mother confirmed her daughter's independence.
She also stated her daughter did not want her to go to the doctor.
Ms. Bay's mother never went with her to a doctor's appointment.
This was despite the alleged pregnancy lasting eight months.
The Gender Reveal and Baby Shower
The families held a gender reveal party.
They also had a baby shower.
Alejandro's parents initially became excited about the prospect of a baby.
Ms. Bay's mother also participated in these events.
Judge Judy expressed skepticism about Ms. Bay's claims.
She stated she did not believe Ms. Bay.
She implied Ms. Bay's mother also had doubts.
Ms. Bay's Contradictory Statements
Ms. Bay told Alejandro's parents that both of her parents were deceased.
Her mother was present in court, directly contradicting this statement.
She also told her mother she had sex only once on St. Patrick's Day.
Later, she admitted to having sex in February and again after finding out she was pregnant.
These contradictions raised serious questions about her credibility.
The Morning-After Pill Discussion
Alejandro stated he asked Ms. Bay to take the morning-after pill.
He offered to pay for it.
Ms. Bay claimed she had a heart condition.
She said taking the pill would affect her due to this condition.
This was her reason for not taking the morning-after pill.
The Alleged Miscarriage
Ms. Bay claimed she had a miscarriage at the end of October.
She did not provide any medical records to support this claim.
Her mother also did not have any medical records for the alleged miscarriage.
Judge Judy noted the lack of medical evidence.
The Baby Picture Deception
Around October 29th, Ms. Bay sent a picture of a baby to Alejandro's family.
She claimed it was her newborn.
She provided details about the baby's birth, weight, and name.
Alejandro's family believed she had given birth.
Later, Ms. Bay admitted the picture was from a friend.
The friend had given birth in June of the previous year.
Ms. Bay claimed she sent the picture a few days before notifying them the baby was born.
She stated she had already had her miscarriage by then.
Ms. Bay's Living Situation
Ms. Bay was living with her grandmother at the time of the alleged miscarriage.
Her grandmother worked as a cashier at Lowes.
Ms. Bay stated her grandmother did not go to the hospital with her.
She claimed her roommate, Alexandria, went with her.
Ms. Bay then stated Alexandria lived with them as well.
She said she was no longer in communication with Alexandria.
Judge Judy's Scrutiny
Judge Judy repeatedly questioned Ms. Bay's honesty.
She stated, "The only thing I know about you is that when your mouth is moving, you're lying."
She found Ms. Bay's explanations unbelievable.
The lack of medical records for the miscarriage was a major point of contention.
The false baby picture was a critical piece of evidence against Ms. Bay.
The Plaintiff's Claims
Alejandro and his parents sought compensation for their expenses.
They also sought damages for emotional distress.
They incurred costs for paternity tests and time off work.
The family had invested emotionally in the alleged pregnancy.
The Verdict
Judge Judy found Ms. Bay's testimony to be full of contradictions.
She did not believe Ms. Bay's claims about the pregnancy or the miscarriage.
The evidence presented, particularly the false baby picture, undermined Ms. Bay's credibility.
Judge Judy ruled in favor of the plaintiff.
The Outcome
Ms. Bay was ordered to pay Alejandro Gonzalez $5,000.
The judge instructed Ms. Bay to "keep waitressing."
The case concluded with a clear judgment against Ms. Bay.
