She also stated that Gary, one of the plaintiffs, told her not to worry about remodeling.
She argued that landlords are responsible for repainting and cleaning carpets after tenants with children.
She believed the plaintiffs' claims for damages were excessive.
Miss Bixby also disputed the timing of the plaintiffs' photographs.
She said the pictures were taken before she was completely moved out.
She claimed she came back to clean.
The Daughter's Return
Miss Bixby went off court-ordered oversight in February 2013.
Miss Small, her daughter, started visiting and staying weekends in April 2014.
Judge Judy asked Miss Bixby if her daughter was visiting on weekends prior to her going off oversight.
Miss Bixby said yes.
She claimed she told her social worker about it.
Judge Judy noted the discrepancy in dates.
Miss Small finished an inpatient drug program at Metal Creek in 2013.
It was a two-month inpatient program.
The plaintiffs stated that problems began after Miss Small arrived.
Contradictions and Judge Judy's Scrutiny
Judge Judy questioned the plaintiffs about the timing of their photographs.
She asked if the pictures were taken after Miss Bixby moved out.
The plaintiff confirmed they were taken after Miss Bixby moved out.
However, the plaintiff then stated that Miss Bixby came back to get the rest of her clothes.
This suggested the pictures were taken before she had fully vacated.
Judge Judy clarified that there were two sets of pictures.
One set was labeled "before" and one "after."
She was referring to the pictures of what was left.
The plaintiff confirmed these were pictures of what was left.
The Verdict
Judge Judy addressed the plaintiffs' claim for damages.
She acknowledged they had $1200 of Miss Bixby's security deposit.
She stated, "That's all you're getting."
She dismissed Miss Bixby's counterclaim for harassment.
Judge Judy told Miss Bixby, "You're out of there."
She then asked Miss Bixby about her daughter.
Judge Judy stated, "Your daughter's back living with you part time."
Miss Bixby denied this.
She said her daughter was not living with her on the weekends.
She explained her daughter lived 70 miles away.
Judge Judy responded, "Well, that's probably a good thing."
The case concluded.
