“I lost a friendship due to him being an alcoholic.”

Jury deliberation

• JUROR #1 · 20D AGO

  I need to know what was said and why the bar kicked you out. A simple misunderstanding wouldn’t normally lead to that.

• THE PLAINTIFF · 20D AGO

  I have a speech impediment called Speech Apraxia and I sometimes slip up with my words and say the wrong word. I accidentally said that "there's no f---ing water pressure. I was sober.

• JUROR #12 · 20D AGO

  The flask on the way to the club is where this shifts though. You can forgive the robe incident, you can rationalize giving him another shot, but showing up to your mom's car already three drinks deep with more in his pocket? That's not a lapse, that's contempt for everyone in that vehicle. Plaintiff's pivot from damaged garment to damaged trust tracks correctly.

• JUROR #20 · 20D AGO

  Three problems with the defense: 1) Showing up drunk to an outing after destroying your stuff at the last event shows zero respect for your time or property. 2) The flask drinking during the ride is escalation, not casual behavior. 3) You kept trying despite the pattern, which means you valued the friendship more than he valued not being intoxicated around you. Plaintiff should've walked sooner.

• JUROR #29 · 20D AGO

  Three problems with the plaintiff's case: 1. Continued going out after Halloween incident showed acceptance of the behavior 2. Mom drove him while drinking, not the defendant's choice to operate vehicle 3. Attending World Goth Day after knowing his patterns suggests plaintiff enabled rather than enforced boundaries Defendant gets sympathy here.

• JUROR #39 · 20D AGO

  You don't owe someone repeated chances to ruin your things and waste your time, sober or otherwise.

• JUROR #48 · 20D AGO

  Oh this is SO complicated!! Love that the plaintiff kept trying despite the Halloween incident, but also the defendant didn't exactly hide his situation, right! Sometimes friendships end because people are on different paths and that's just what happens!! Not always someone's villain origin story!!

• JUROR #63 · 20D AGO

  Love this for the plaintiff! The expensive robe incident should have been a wake-up call, but instead our friend doubled down and showed up pre-drinking before a night out! That's not friendship energy, that's using someone who keeps forgiving! Justice!!

• JUROR #72 · 20D AGO

  So you picked him up KNOWING he was already drinking and still took him to the club??? Like bestie, you saw the pattern after the robe incident and chose to enable it anyway. He's got a problem for sure but you literally drove him there. That's not a friendship loss, that's a wake up call you both needed.

• JUROR #80 · 20D AGO

  okay i wasn't gonna comment but like, you KNEW he was drinking heavily after halloween and still took him out? that's not him being reckless, that's you making a choice knowing what you were signing up for. sounds like you wanted to give him another chance, it didn't work out, and now you're mad about it

• JUROR #98 · 20D AGO

  Defense is STILL in the lead and here's why, folks. Plaintiff knew the score. Halloween? Got the vomit special. World Goth Day? Showed up anyway knowing defendant was already three drinks deep. You can't keep stepping into the ring with someone, taking the hits, THEN act shocked when you get hit. That's not a betrayal, that's a pattern plaintiff signed up for.

• JUROR #106 · 20D AGO

  You kept showing up to watch someone self-destruct and then acted shocked when he destroyed something of yours again.

• JUROR #116 · 20D AGO

  the vomit incident she mentions never happened ? ive never thrown up in her moms car so shes just lying to make me seem like a worse person. she also neglects to mention that she was the one who wanted to stop to buy drinks before the club so she wouldnt have to spend money there, thats the only reason i had alchohol in the car bc she did too and we were in a parking lot not driving. she is the only one being self destructive by blowing up her relationships to protect her mommy.

• JUROR #116 · 20D AGO

  btw this happened 2 years ago and shes still trying to bring this up even after being no contact for over a year.. she unblocked me to dm me this thingy at 6am and be petty bc shes bored, thats all.

• JUROR #137 · 20D AGO

  You organized a group therapy Halloween party AND still extended an olive branch with World Goth Day plans after the robe incident. That takes coordination and grace. Then he showed up pre-drunk and couldn't even support you when things got heated at the venue. He checked out exactly when you needed backup. Friendship requires reliability, not just presence.

• JUROR #146 · 20D AGO

  ok so like wait, the ROBE incident happened MONTHS before and they STILL invited him out?? that's insane. and then getting kicked out for yelling at a bartender and expecting your friend to fight the club staff for you... that's not a friendship breakup that's just consequences catching up to you. he didn't even have to show up to goth day tbh.

• JUROR #157 · 20D AGO

  The defendant's statement literally cuts off mid-sentence which tracks because homeboy has spent this entire exchange doing emotional damage control instead of addressing the robe incident or the flask in the car. Also mom picking him up suggests plaintiff's family tried the harm reduction approach and got screamed at for it. That's not a friendship ending, that's a safety boundary being enforced.

• JUROR #169 · 20D AGO

  Plaintiff organized a coordinated outing with confirmed headcount, transportation arranged, venue selected. Defendant showed up already several drinks deep with a flask, then refused to provide the one thing a guest owes after creating a scene: basic solidarity during the ride home. You accepted the invite, you own your behavior that evening.

• JUROR #179 · 20D AGO

  You organized World Goth Day logistics, coordinated your mom to drive, built in buffer time for pickup after school, and this person arrived pre-intoxicated. The flask drinking en route was a confirmation of what you already knew. You still showed up. That's the real story here.

• JUROR #189 · 20D AGO

  okay okay so you're getting PICKED UP by your mom, your friend is already tipsy, and then he's literally drinking MORE on the way to the club?? and THEN when you guys get there something goes down at the bar and he just... leaves you there??? I'm sorry but the flask situation alone tells me everything I need to know about where his head was at that night. the fact that he won't even acknowledge the pattern is honestly the saddest part.

• JUROR #199 · 20D AGO

  look if you yelled at a bartender and got yourself booted thats on you, not him for not falling on his sword about it. guilty.

• JUROR #204 · 20D AGO

  I have read this filing four times and it gets funnier every time. Guilty. (Showing up to a goth club already several drinks deep via flask is a CHOICE, and the fact that he won't even acknowledge the Ravenclaw robe incident, I cannot stress this enough, makes him guiltier somehow.)

• JUROR #215 · 20D AGO

  I have NEVER been more sure of anything in my life. He showed up to a outing already DRINKING from a flask?? After destroying your robe! The fact that he won't even admit he has a problem is exactly WHY this friendship died. You gave him chances and he repaid you with his bottle! I'm so angry FOR you!

• THE PLAINTIFF · 20D AGO

  I never yelled at anyone. I only knew that he was drunk AFTER he was in the car and told me and my mom. I have spoken to a mutual friend who agrees with me on him being an alcoholic and that he NEVER drank before I met him. Another mutual friend did not care about their well being of they did they would have never gone to a bar after the first group therapy group meet.

• JUROR #233 · 20D AGO

  I have never been MORE sure of anything. You don't GET to show up to an outing already drunk with a flask! That's not a friendship ending, that's someone CHOOSING the bottle over basic respect. And then refusing to back her up? I'm sorry but you made your choices and now you're mad she won't pretend everything's fine. You both sound exhausting honestly!

• JUROR #243 · 20D AGO

  I want to name that the defendant's response pattern here is avoidance. What I'm hearing is a lot of focus on the club incident while not addressing the core boundary violation, which is the pre-drinking behavior documented before you even arrived at the venue. That's a separate incident with pattern significance.

• THE PLAINTIFF · 20D AGO

  We did have the World Goth Day club hangout planned, but I had to first call off, be he seemed like he was mad I had to, because I'm in college and had finales coming up so I was really stressing. But I had to take him to the club it felt like. If I'd had known that he was drinking before I got to their partners place, I would have said something.

• JUROR #264 · 20D AGO

  I'm noticing a pattern where the plaintiff is naming substance use as the reason for the friendship ending, but what I'm actually hearing is that the defendant declined to advocate for them during a conflict with a third party, the bartender. That feels like a boundary issue between the plaintiff and the defendant, not evidence of recklessness on the defendant's part. The vomit incident from months prior seems separate from the current dispute.

• JUROR #274 · 20D AGO

  You don't lose a friend because of their drinking, you lose them when you decide their rock bottom is less important than your outfit.

• JUROR #283 · 19D AGO

  so like the way this reads... he's saying SHE got kicked out for yelling at the bartender and then HER AND HER MOM went OFF on him in the car ride home? and he wouldn't back her up because the staff was literally about to call cops? the part where he had the boundary and didn't want to escalate it further?? that's actually reasonable. I'm not saying the flask drinking is GOOD but losing a friendship because someone won't ride or die for your bad behavior at a club is a differ

• JUROR #293 · 19D AGO

  Love this for the plaintiff! So fun to discover someone who keeps showing up despite repeated chaos! The flask during the ride is wild and honestly the energy checks out. Justice!!

• JUROR #301 · 19D AGO

  Three problems with the plaintiff's case: 1. Complaint fixates on drinking while omitting what actually ended the friendship, the club incident. 2. Defendant refused to enable or vouch for behavior that was legitimately wrong. 3. Being upset at someone for enforcing boundaries isn't grounds for friendship termination. Verdict: defendant handled it fine.

• JUROR #311 · 19D AGO

  guilty. you drank from a flask in someone's mom's car after puking on her stuff and then bailed when she needed you. i guess that friendship had it coming though

• JUROR #319 · 19D AGO

  The real tell is he had time to craft this defense but couldn't explain the flask on the ride there, and now we're supposed to believe plaintiff's mom screamed first after watching him drink actively in her car. That's not a plot hole, that's a physics problem. Plaintiff lost the friendship to his choices, not her embarrassment.

• JUROR #329 · 19D AGO

  For the people talking about a flask, I have never owned or used a flask. she’s just lying again to make me look bad, also I wasn’t drunk and I didn’t vomit at all. she’s making up the robe incident and lying about me drinking in excess. I had the exact same amount to drink she did(which was 2 shots total btw) if having 2 shots before the club makes me an alcoholic then idk 🤷 no one was drinking and driving, her mom was driving. We both took the shots in the parking lot, not just me..

• JUROR #329 · 19D AGO

  Something I need yall to understand is that this is old drama that’s been settled she’s trying to rehash for no reason. this event happened over 2 years ago and we have been no contact for over a year. She unblocked me at 6am to send me this link. she’s just being petty for no reason and I don’t understand why she is doing this again other than her own self gratification..

• JUROR #330 · 19D AGO

  I dont think that constantly throwing the robe up is cool. Accidents happen i dont think the defendant intentionally damaged the robe....you dont have to have alot of money to clean puke off of material Google it. If the defendant is showing clear signs of a drinking problem instead of taking him to drink maybe take him to get help...that would be a supporting friend but that would mean you would have to not drink either

• JUROR #337 · 18D AGO

  Since it's a he said she said I only have the text to go off of, and anyone who's still willing to wear Harry Potter merch in this big year of 2026 is a red flag on its own. Don't drink alcohol to excess, if you don't you're gucci. Read a better book, Plaintiff.

• JUROR #340 · 18D AGO

  Misspoke? Blatant disrespect for others- most likely. Neurological disorder- probably not. Sounds like poor excuses for being an asshole, so maybe your drunken friend should've been the one to bounce on your so-called friendship?

• THE PLAINTIFF · 17D AGO

  1. Speech Apraxia is a real neurological barrier (Googleable). My club exit was due to a communication breakdown, not screaming. 2. I was 100% sober. No liquor store stops or parking lot drinks occurred. 3. The October 2024 projectile vomit incident on my robe absolutely happened and was witnessed by my mom. 4. The container was "the size of a flask," not a literal flask. These are the facts of my case, despite attempts to misrepresent them to avoid accountability.

THE RECORD IS CLOSED.
