Now, North Carolina is 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.360 one of the few states in the United States that 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:32.200 allow jilted spouses to sue someone for interfering in the marriage. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:39.440 California does not. Most states do not. You can interfere 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.959 all you want in someone's marriage. Consenting adults can do 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.000 anything they want married not married. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.240 Sex, no sex doesn't matter. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:56.640 However, California or North Carolina allows jilted spouses to sue, 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:58.279 and that's what happened. 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.800 This is out of Durham. This North Carolina woman. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:10.360 Has sued and will receive one point seventy five million 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:17.240 dollars because the jury found the woman liable for destroying 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:23.039 the couple's marriage. Okay, so lawsuit filed accusing Brene Kennard. 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.600 And she's an influencer on TikTok with three million followers 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.360 two hundred and seventy four followers on Instagram. The meantime, 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.840 what she is accused of is seducing and having an 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.960 affair with her manager, and the jury found her liable 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.800 for criminal conversation. Is what they call it an alienation 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:49.640 of affection. Basically, I had a good relationship, a good marriage. 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:55.120 You came in, you stole my spouse, and here I 0:01:55.240 --> 0:02:00.400 am having been jilted. The emotional damage, the financial hit, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.040 and so the jury found her liable what they call 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.160 criminal conversation. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.079 Alienation of affection. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.280 That someone can be blamed for an affair that ends 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.239 marriage and you know the damages, mental anguish, damage to 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.320 her health, depriving her children of a two parent household, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.560 and it goes on and on and on. Now California 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.720 doesn't allow this, but one of the fun fun causes 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.840 of action in California is a loss of consortium, which 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.160 means that if you've done something to me and your 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:42.480 negligent and I no longer can have sex or have 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.040 a good relationship with my wife, you can be sued 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.799 by my wife.

And 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.480 you have something that can be unraveled in two seconds. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.480 Because even though even though now the realtor says, okay, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.120 we're listing it, we've we've cleared everything up with this 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.920 underwriter and this title insurance. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.280 If he's if he's cleared everything up and there's no 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.199 one going to grab it, you're home free. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:09.040 What's the problem. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.000 It's based on an inaccurate social So because the original 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.720 guy that did the first grant, he wouldn't give me 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:16.560 his social right. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:17.680 So that's okay. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.360 So you sue him, uh and part of the industry, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.839 and then you you bring him in, ask for a deposition, Uh, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.520 ask the world documents. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.000 What I'm saying is I made up four numbers and 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.120 I gave it to this title insurance company, and they go, okay, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.600 this guy, these are the numbers. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:41.400 Okay, us on him credit. You made up those numbers, right, Dennis. Yeah, Yeah, 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:42.000 that's fraud. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:44.920 Okay, that's fraud on my part. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.280 Yeah. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:48.000 Okay. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.640 So even though the title insurance company did their search. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:51.760 Let me tell you. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.040 If you don't get let me give you here is 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:59.959 if it goes through and the title transfers to you, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.480 then I guess you just shut up and you got 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:04.120 away with it. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:06.160 Okay. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.240 And then so what if now I'm going to sell 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.160 this property. So if I sell it, somebody buys it, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.520 and then four months down the road, some creditor comes 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.280 back because of that original grand deed? 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.119 Does this all get brought. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.079 Back to me? H? 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.480 Creditorsues you? 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:27.080 Or because because the title insurance company assumed that everything's fine, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.079 the social has no priority. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.800 It doesn't See I don't understand what the what the 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.280 title company has to do with social security numbers. They 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.319 just look, see who has title? If it's you, it's you. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.440 Well, no, it's something that's something that had to do 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.920 with clearing up the closs. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.840 I understand, but clear I don't understand where social security 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.200 numbers have to do with clearing up, uh, the transfer 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.760 unless it's not that person who transferred and it so yeah, 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.959 you got, you know, you got to mess on your hands. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.400 I mean, I don't even know where to go with that. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.280 Yeah, I lied, and then the other guy lied, and we. 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.560 Did this to avert taxes and basically we're cheating the 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:08.640 tax authorities by moving it twice. Yeah, that doesn't sound 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:09.960 particularly good. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.440 Natalie, Hello, Natalie, welcome. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:14.120 Yeah. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:20.400 I have a question regarding solar channel. Three years back, 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:26.800 with one company we signed up. The salesperson promised us 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:32.440 some money and then they installed the panel on three 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.720 years back, one Monday, and then he said Friday he 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.040 will bring the money. And then Friday I called him. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:45.080 He didn't response. After a week, different solar company called us. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.760 Then they said this company sold. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.240 Okay, that doesn't matter. That doesn't matter. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.640 It doesn't matter because if company sells or buys, you 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.000 bought all the liabilities too. Do you have the promise 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.679 to return four thousand dollars to you in writing? 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:05.640 That's what he texted me, like money something. We texted everything, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.880 all the proof to the. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.320 Person with Okay, Natalie, let me ask you again, is 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:19.760 the promise to send you four thousand dollars in writing?

Hold on, hold on. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.160 So the text from the company says, we will pay 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.800 you four thousand dollars. Correct, Yeah, the salesperson did, yeah, 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.160 and texted you that you're going to get four thousand 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.800 dollars back.

Was it just before 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.120 the company was sold? Yeah, okay, that's that's a little 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.000 problematic because there's nothing in writing that says beforehand. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.200 It's just just before the company is sold. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.640 The salesperson gets you get four thousand dollars here. I mean, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.280 he could have sent you anything. You could have said 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.000 fifty thousand dollars. There's nothing in the original contract. I mean, 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:25.960 you can sue for four thousand. But you know, the 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.520 new company's going to say, hey, this guy wasn't authorized 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.040 to do that. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.120 He just did it.

And 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.320 they we sent all the information and then they said 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.040 we will contact you for one of our years.
