After getting stood up, she finally got her date — in court. A Michigan woman is raising eyebrows online after suing a man for $10,000 for — wait for it — standing her up on a date. A clip of the wild virtual hearing — during which the scorned woman got into a heated shouting match with the judge — is currently blowing up online.

The woman, named QaShontae Short, had reportedly filed a lawsuit back in 2020, in which she alleged that Richard Jordan “did not show and left on her mother’s birthday and her mom had just passed away,” per legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Go figure: Their Zoom hearing quickly devolved into a circus after Short locked horns with the judge over whether Jordan’s romantic no-show job was a criminal offense. “That’s [her charge] not something that’s really justiciable in district court,” said Judge Herman Marable Jr., who was presiding over the case in Flint, Michigan. “That has to be brought in circuit court.”

After some back and forth between Short and the judge, defendant Jordan weighed in, deadpanning: “To be honest with you, sir, I thought this was just gonna be thrown out.” “We had a date, one date, and nothing else after that, and now I’m being sued for $10,000,” the incredulous man added. “I don’t see how this is gonna go any further. I think this is a waste of your time.” However, Short then claimed that the man had perjured himself by allegedly lying about leaving her in the lurch — a point the judge said she was in no position to determine.
