Well, the GREAT GUY and his LOVELY WIFE decide they don't need her, as she's really not doing much for the money they're REALLY paying her (it's just them and their two dogs afterall), and tell her they want her to go back to the Philippines. Well....she doesn't want to.....and cooks up the plan with the help of her nearby friend to FRAME the nice people. She said she'd wanted to go home, but the couple wouldn't LET her, held her "in slavery". She had to do such terrible things, like "heat up chicken nuggets". Oh...the horror of it all. They'd been paying her in cash....so they had no proof of the money they'd REALLY been paying her. She cries on the stand, and the jury of FOOLS awarded her close to a million. So....is she going back to the Philippines like "she wanted to"? Or is she bringing over her entire family to live on her newfound wealth, thanks to the ignorance of the U.S. Legal System? What do YOU think? Are the problems over for the nice couple who did nothing wrong (except pay her in cash)? NOooooo.....they're being investigated now for possible civil rights violations. Yeah, right. Wise up, people. The flip side of the coin…..this woman is brought over from the Philippines, is given an EASY job cleaning a condo and cooking a few meals for a wonderful couple.

Hmmm... Guess you can't damn a whole corporation based on one person's conduct, but taking into account this guy's job, it sure is tempting. “James Jackson, vp of legal affairs for Sony Pictures Entertainment”

Classic I say.
