'Ms. Pat Settles It': Designer Bags, Broken TVs, and a Brother with Nerve
On this week's episode of Ms. Pat Settles It, comedian-turned-judge Ms. Pat brings the heat—and the hilarity—as she weighs in on another round of real-life disputes. This week’s rotating bench of celebrity jurors includes Karlous Miller, Carmen Barton, Tamar Braxton, Deray Davis, TS Madison, and Ray J, and let’s just say... the cases are as petty as they are chaotic.
Special Helms vs. Spencer Helms
First up, Special is suing her brother Spencer for $4,000 after he wrecked her car and then pocketed the insurance check. According to Special, Spencer borrowed the car, crashed it, and when the dust settled, he vanished with the payout—even though she was the one making the monthly payments. Spencer argues that because he cosigned the loan and the car is technically in his name, the money’s his to keep. He basically tells his sister to catch an Uber.
When Special showed up at the crash site, Spencer had already handled everything with the police and insurance—leaving her out of the loop entirely. He admits to the accident but denies it was his fault and, to be honest, gives off strong “ain’t ish” energy.
The Verdict: Spencer owes Special the full $4,000. Yes, he cosigned, but she was the primary driver and payer. He was wrong for keeping the money like it was his birthday bonus.
Teria Brown vs. Aja Ben
Next, cousins go toe-to-toe over a broken TV. Teria is suing Aja for $399.99, claiming Aja’s son broke her television during a girls’ night gathering. Aja says her son is innocent and accuses Teria of scapegoating him just to get an upgrade.
Aja recounts that she couldn’t find a babysitter, so Teria invited her and her son over. While the kids played in the other room, the TV mysteriously got cracked. Aja insists her son didn’t do it, and things take a weird turn when Teria accuses the boy of also decapitating dolls—complete with a bag of doll heads presented as evidence. But then the twist: Teria admits she originally agreed to replace the TV but feels Aja exaggerated the size to finesse a better one.
The Verdict: Pat doesn’t side with either of them. There's no clear proof of who broke what, and she reminds them no TV is worth a broken relationship. However, she does offer Aja $33.79 to buy her daughter some new dolls. Small wins.
Myeshia Barrett vs. Terry Golden
Last but definitely not least, we enter designer drama territory. Myeshia is suing her ex-roommate Terry for $4,800—the amount Terry made after selling Myeshia’s luxury handbags, including Chanel, Telfar, and Louis Vuitton. According to Terry, she reached out to Myeshia several times after she moved out, but never heard back. Feeling ghosted, she assumed the bags were abandoned and decided to sell them.
Myeshia admits she bounced after getting married and going on her honeymoon, but insists she never intended to abandon her stuff. She even shows receipts—literally—by pulling up the online listings where Terry sold the bags. The emotional gut-punch? One of the bags, a vintage Chanel, belonged to her grandmother and was worth at least $8,000.
But here’s where things get messy: Terry claims she sold the bags to cover unpaid rent, since Myeshia left her hanging financially for three months. Myeshia doesn’t deny that detail either.
The Verdict: Ms. Pat rules in favor of Terry. Since Myeshia was MIA for months and left her property behind, Terry had the right to sell the bags. Harsh lesson? Yes. But next time, pack before the honeymoon.
Each dispute on this episode of Ms. Pat Settles It is a masterclass in messiness, but Pat’s gavel never misses. Whether it’s fake designer flexes or cousins with TV trauma, justice—Pat-style—is always served hot.
