What started as a Facebook feud escalated into a lawsuit and ended Tuesday with a verdict handed down by Judith Susan Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy.<\/p>

<\/p>

Mo\u2019s Catering and Restaurant owner Mone-Shay Platt was being sued by Coleen Fuller for $5,000 for defamation and the case was brought before Judge Judy on her national-syndicated courtroom television show.<\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cIt came about in December,\u201d Platt said. \u201cThere was an altercation on the Madera To Go Facebook Group. The producers called me and asked about the case. They asked if I would be a participant in the Judge Judy show. They said the case had a lot of uniqueness with the COVID and asked if I would like to come. I was hesitant because I had a business and it could be good for you or bad for you.\u201d<\/p>

<\/p>

In the end, Judge Judy sided with Platt and dismissed the lawsuit. However, Judge Judy also dismissed Platt\u2019s countersuit to Fuller for defamation and harassment.<\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cWe filmed in early January,\u201d she said. \u201cI had to sign a contract and keep it under wraps. I was pretty respectful. It looked like I was talking too much. I think they portrayed me okay. It was good, but not too bad. I never got an opportunity to present contracts that were signed and documented by customers that I had an event with. I didn\u2019t get to present some stuff I would like.\u201d<\/p>

<\/p>

Despite Platt not getting the chance to plead her case for her countersuit, she was happy with the end result.<\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cThe end result is don\u2019t be a hypocrite,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t have a problem with people that don\u2019t have their certificates and are tying to get their side hustle on. I support people like that all the time. It\u2019s about being a hypocrite. You\u2019re talking about calling these people if they see dine in. But, you\u2019re cooking out of your home illegally and selling it.\u201d<\/p>

<\/p>

One of the controversies in the show was the relationship between Fuller and Platt. Although Fuller claims to not know Platt, Fuller\u2019s ex-boyfriend and boss is Platt\u2019s uncle, a claim Fuller denied. During the show, Judge Judy tried to call the uncle to get his side of the story, but the call never connected.<\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cThat is my uncle,\u201d Platt said. \u201cThat was a lie in itself. You could see it was my uncle. I wanted her to call my uncle.<\/p>

\u201cIt was just sad that it had to come to that. It bring awareness of someone that was inappropriate and was caught.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
