- 1:13Speaker 1: She's a blessing. Yes, that is a blessing, Philly. Okay,
- 1:16Speaker 1: because there are so many people out there right now
- 1:18Speaker 1: who would love to get their hair braided but can't
- 1:20Speaker 1: afford it. Okay, and Stephanie Samuels is one of those women. Now,
- 1:23Speaker 1: just when you were younger and couldn't afford bridge, how
- 1:25Speaker 1: did you make do? Or were you never in that position?
- 1:28Speaker 4: Now?
- 1:28Speaker 2: I was definitely in that position. I said, a little
- 1:29Speaker 2: side ponytail with the sprout, okay, And I thought I
- 1:32Speaker 2: was cute.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I thought I was killing this. Whe you couldn't afford braid?
- 1:34Speaker 1: What did you do? You just didn't get them?
- 1:35Speaker 2: Put my head in a side ponytail, like I just
- 1:37Speaker 2: said that, I was looking struggly.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, well so I want to know. That's why
- 1:41Speaker 1: I wanted to ask. I wanted to know your story
- 1:42Speaker 1: because I would assume that if you couldn't afford bridge,
- 1:45Speaker 1: you just do another protective hairstyle like you just said. Right,
- 1:48Speaker 1: are you find a cheaper option. Are you gotta work
- 1:50Speaker 1: for the braidge, pick up an extra job something? But
- 1:52Speaker 1: what I do know is whatever you chose to do,
- 1:55Speaker 1: or whatever you choose to do, is smarter than what
- 1:57Speaker 1: Stephanie Samuel did. See. Stephanie was just getting the finishing
- 1:59Speaker 1: touch she's on her braids, and she told her hairstylist
- 2:02Speaker 1: four words that a hairstylist never wants to hear, especially
- 2:06Speaker 1: after she already finished the work. And those words are
- 2:10Speaker 1: I can't pay you. What happened next? Well, let's go
- 2:13Speaker 1: to Fox thirteen for the report. Please.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Latasha Dickerson has been braiding here for more than twenty years.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Dickerson says Stephanie Samuels has been a client for seventeen years.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Samuels came to her home to have small, extra long
- 2:26Speaker 4: box braids done last month. This cellphone video shows how
- 2:30Speaker 4: Samuel's hair came out after nine and a half hours
- 2:34Speaker 4: of braiding. Dick Dickerson says she charged Samuel's two hundred dollars.
- 2:39Speaker 2: She gave me fifty dollars and said that's all she
- 2:42Speaker 2: has right now. That was it, and then she was like,
- 2:45Speaker 2: I can't give you nothing else.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I gotta pay my mortgage.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Dickerson says she was at a loss for words, especially
- 2:50Speaker 4: because Samuels is a childhood friend. Please say Samuel's bit.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Dickerson's right arm pepper sprayed her and pulled a box
- 2:59Speaker 4: cutter on Diggerson while her children were in the home.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Diggerson says she was looking forward to using the money
- 3:06Speaker 4: towards Christmas gifts for her children. She advises hairstylist to
- 3:10Speaker 4: request a deposit and have clients pay up front before
- 3:14Speaker 4: starting the service.
- 3:16Speaker 1: I feel so sorry for this handstyllars. What is it name,
- 3:18Speaker 1: Latasha Latasha Dickerson. Yeah, not only because she didn't get paid.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I know Dan well, I know Dan well. She couldn't
- 3:25Speaker 1: properly fight either, okay, because she was tied as hell
- 3:28Speaker 1: standing on her feet all that long time, nine and
- 3:30Speaker 1: a half hours doing this woman's braids. Hairstyllars be exhausted
- 3:34Speaker 1: after they do a head of hair. You ever see
- 3:36Speaker 1: that meme with a Popeye's Chicken lady sitting outside looking tighty.
- 3:40Speaker 1: That's how every handstyle is in America. Who does braids
- 3:43Speaker 1: be feeling and then you're gonna tell me you can't
- 3:45Speaker 1: pay me, Then you're gonna bite me. Pull out some
- 3:47Speaker 1: type of chemical agents, a pepper spray, okay, and spray
- 3:51Speaker 1: me with it and pull out a box cut on me.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I ain't got time for all that. And what's crazy
- 3:56Speaker 1: about this is all projection. Okay, Stephanie got mad because
- 4:00Speaker 1: she broke, and I understand. I get it. People out
- 4:02Speaker 1: here doing bad, they're hurting. They broke. Stephanie probably didn't
- 4:05Speaker 1: bite the hairstyles out of just pure anger. She might
- 4:07Speaker 1: have been hungry too, okay. And it don't help that
- 4:10Speaker 1: Lotto out here making songs calling people brokey and it's
- 4:13Speaker 1: about can you imagine you riding around bumping Lotto album
- 4:17Speaker 1: that beat drop verse fire and fifty two seconds into
- 4:20Speaker 1: the song you realize she's talking about you. Come on, man,
- 4:25Speaker 1: we live in a world with a gap between the
- 4:26Speaker 1: haves and have nots is so wide, and the have
- 4:29Speaker 1: nots have to go on social media all day and
- 4:31Speaker 1: watch a bunch of people lying about how much they have.
- 4:33Speaker 1: That can cause you to go crazy. But I would
- 4:35Speaker 1: like to tell people this. You can fix being broke,
- 4:37Speaker 1: but you can't fix being poor. Okay, being broke is
- 4:41Speaker 1: temporary a lot of times, being poor systemic but also
- 4:44Speaker 1: having very poor character because Stephanie, this just shows how
- 4:48Speaker 1: poor your character is. A Latasha was a childhood friend,
- 4:52Speaker 1: all right, Sometimes you have to learn to do it out.
- 4:54Speaker 1: You're not entitled the braids. You can't get mad at
- 4:56Speaker 1: this woman because you can't afford the hairstyle you want,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and for you to book in a appointment, get your
- 5:01Speaker 1: braids put in, and then attack her because you can't
- 5:03Speaker 1: pay her and you wasted her time. She had every
- 5:06Speaker 1: right to beat your ass. You didn't have no right
- 5:08Speaker 1: to throw hands with her. Now you charge with aggravated assault,
- 5:11Speaker 1: and you have a bond that's one thousand dollars. Okay,
- 5:16Speaker 1: if she couldn't afford to pay two hundred dollars for braids,
- 5:18Speaker 1: you think she can pay a thousand? You think she
- 5:20Speaker 1: can afford to pay a thousand dollars for a bond? Huh?
- 5:23Speaker 1: Come on, man, comorrold Of. The story is being poor leaders,
- 5:26Speaker 1: the poor decision making. So don't let temporary circumstances of
- 5:29Speaker 1: being broke land you into a permanent place called prison.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Please give Stephanie Samuels the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
- 5:36Speaker 3: You. Oh the day, ye, oh the day ye.
- 5:55Speaker 1: By the way, nine and a half hours, two hundred dollars. Lord,
- 5:57Speaker 1: have mercy, that's crazy.
- 5:58Speaker 2: My girl took three and a half to nine.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Yours is amazing.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Look at Stephanie. She wasn't know, she wasn't know. She
- 6:08Speaker 1: was only she was only gonna pay fifty dollars.
- 6:11Speaker 2: No she yeah, she probably looked at them and was like,
- 6:14Speaker 2: oh no, I only got fifty dollars for this.
- 6:17Speaker 1: To be honest with you, animal about you, bitch, because
- 6:21Speaker 1: that's not what I paid for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 1: Oh my god. Or maybe she just had a rough
- 6:27Speaker 1: night and it's the way she got them place.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Now, No, no, that's not that. Looks like we have
- 6:34Speaker 2: to see one of the things that what I wanted
- 6:35Speaker 2: versus what I got. Now, I'm looking at the I'm
- 6:39Speaker 2: looking at it. I'm like, I don't know the bitch,
- 6:42Speaker 2: that's crazy I was for me to still get up
- 6:45Speaker 2: looking like that, damn I know.
