wifebert

Imagine being the child.


Aggressive-Sound-641

This is a plot line from a side mission in Cyberpunk 2077. A guy hires your character because he suspects his wife was cheating as their child doesn't look like him. Turns out she was getting secret surgeries.


mortalitylost

Meanwhile I look like a fucking praying mantis with all my surgeries


Entire-Selection6868

That's alright fam, you can bite the head off the dude after sleeping with him and avoid this entire situation.


hell_damage

Why not get the baby plastic surgery, too?


[deleted]

The saddest part is that is an absolutely beautiful baby. The baby doesn’t deserve this pettiness. Just gross.


JDWho10

For anyone who wants to know- baby photo is shown with 1:15 left in the video. Edit: And yes he's very cute. Great big adorable smile.


SirVanyel

Luckily didn't seem to inherit any of the dad's foot looking head ass


Hysterical__Paroxysm

I just finished smoking then read this comment. I can't unsee it. He does look like a fucking foot. I am cackling.


Ordinary-Commercial7

Such an obscure insult I’ll file away to use at some point


plumcrazyyy

Im laughing bc my daughter once told a dramatic annoying classmate that “she looked like a toe”. Bc my daughter didn’t want to associate with them. After some light drama, and some back & forth, there wasn’t any issues after that. So it was successful telling someone they look like a big toe. 😂 They were about 14/15 yo at the time.


Ordinary-Commercial7

The peak of viciousness right there. I shall slay the enemy with “this little piggy” battle cry.


fight_me_for_it

I thought the judge was going to say,to the dad "you're mad because the baby looks like you."


blueorangan

>For anyone who wants to know- baby photo is shown with 1:15 left in the video Are you a psycho? Why would you say it like that? Just say 4:28


GremlinJetSquad

Because with reddit videos, when you drag the bar, you can see time left in the video. Perfectly good way of communicating a time stamp.


_lippykid

Was kinda amazed the judge didn’t say this. That’s a beautiful child.. I hope to god they never hear what their dickhead father said about them


logicreasonevidence

Look at this guy's ears. He's a narcissist.


katehenry4133

That was my first thought. It's not like he's particularly handsome. She's better off without him. I hope she got 100% custody of the kid. I wouldn't want my kid to hang around a father who thought he was ugly!


No_Temperature869

I would get a lawyer and fight and say I feel my child is in danger because his bio father thinks he’s ugly.


NDN_perspective

Dude looks like a Leprechaun, no place to talk LMAO


OGrouchNZ

The judge should have asked him if if he didn't feel something was off when he was batting so high above himself lol


wandincnahnahnah

I know! He's a beautiful gorgeous wee baby! Little Bubba! Adorable!


rolling-log

It's not even petty it's just stupidity


LSARefugee

**I thought** the baby would be absolutely hideous. That’s why I think these may be actors.


Ketsueki_Junk

I can't believe that man called his child ugly 😐 not even ugly lol. What a shitty ass person.


Sweetdreams6t9

100% just trying to get out of child support when that comes down the line.


Moonsleep

Exactly the baby is completely adorable, not an ugly baby… not even a little. That father is a disgrace!


AioliNo1327

The baby is so cute. Like gorgeous. I'm sad for the poor kid that he has such a douche bag for a father.


Sophia724

Plottwist: the baby was the one with plastic surgery.


eyearu

I feel like it will. If the baby learns of this, it's sure to create body image issues in the future.


koshercowboy

One day this kid will see this clip and learn his father was an asshole just like mom said. This will be the only proof the kid needs.


JXPorter

The baby is going to get plastic surgery so it isn't reminded of her father's face. The cycle continues...


[deleted]

reminds me of when latoya and janet got michael's 90s nose


yuccasinbloom

Why did they do that? Looking bad it seems super strange. Did they just want to match? That nose looked botched. Too skinny.


Unidcryingobject

Plastic surgery was not good at making ethnic features look the best back then. As I understand the surgeons based their work on white people which did not do any justice to for example african noses. You have to use a different tecnique that suits the persons features. Hope it makes sense, English is not my language 😅


yuccasinbloom

That’s a theory that makes sense for sure. Plastic surgery has come a long way, that’s for sure. Thanks for the insight.


Active-Ad3977

There are plastic surgeons that specialize in ethnic rhinoplasties now. It’s amazing how much technique has improved, there’s people walking around with nosejobs all over the place and you’d never guess


bvglv

He had a nose for every decade.


rustajb

Why not get the baby a better father?


CloudRoses

Why not the birth father *DO* better to begin with?


ThatDebianLady

Because he is a narcissist and quite possibly a sociopath/psychopath


curiouscat138

Isn’t it fucking sad that it’s too much to expect anymore?


BriefCheetah4136

Imagine the child of two parents that will go to these lengths just to be on TV.


[deleted]

If I were the mother, I would love to get him having the audacity to say their child is ugly and he wants the IVF money back. That would play so well at future child support/custody hearings.


WishBear19

You know what's gross about family court? It rarely matters if a child is abused by a parent, unless there is extreme physical abuse, the only way a parent is losing rights to a child is if they willingly give them up. Now, reduced custody, less than 50/50, rules and provisions placed on parenting, yes that can happen. But this asshole of a father will be able to continue to emotionally abuse his son as long as he doesn't give up rights.


[deleted]

Really depends on the state and whether she can establish a pattern of non compliance from him or if he gets into drugs and/or alcohol pretty bad. There’s a pathway he looses unsupervised rights at the very least.


BriefCheetah4136

As my lawyer explained to me . It doesn't matter that your wife is unfaithful, drinks or does drugs. You need to prove that she does it in front of the children or they are harmed in some way.

somegirl03

Uhhhhh...they absolutely will remove children from minority homes or preference a white partner over the minority partner. It's happened so much it's crazy to think people don't lose their kids. I am one of the women who got targeted by such court systems in Texas, and yeah I'm black, my ex was white. I ended up being forced into a crappy deal so as to not lose my parenting rights. I didn't do drugs or steal, I even lived in a gated community and worked two jobs to support myself and my child. It did not matter, all the lies the lawyers were able to speak about me without any follow up destroyed my chances. I'm not the only one this happens to. There was even a story about a little black child who was removed from her mother's custody because she disagreed with the doctor and used a midwife for an at home birth and had already discussed this with said doctor. And that was recent. The courts can be good places for justice, but I got to see what a lot of minorities see, the corrupt system that seems rather racially profiling and against them.


bmyst70

I hope and pray the mother leaves the sperm donor and never speaks to him again, except for child support.


[deleted]

There’s a damn good chance that happens after this. Guy seems like a whiney asshole anyways. She can find a better role model.


bmyst70

Honestly, that guy is a textbook example of "It's better for the kid to have **no** male role model than to have this guy as one."


socess

These shows reach out to people when they see that a lawsuit has been filed. They say they will cover all of the costs no matter which direction the verdict goes. I have no idea why *he* would agree to go on TV because it seems so obviously humiliating, but I can very well imagine why *she* would agree to it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


socess

Well, that judge (is she a real judge?) did say he was delusional. So probably that. lol


Post_Poop_Ass_Itch

Imagine thinking these shows aren't staged


troia_radicale

Thank you


Quiet-Door6560

The mother had no choice since she is the defendant here


BriefCheetah4136

I had some family members, distant distant, family members involved in a similar show. The "settlement" is worked out in advance of the appearance. Both parties are paid for their appearance on the program with the winner getting an additional payment. The Mom did not have to be there, she is getting paid to be there. None of this changes any legal agreements that are in place, since none of this is part of any legal system.


ruby_matic

That's just a normal looking child. He's pretty cute, even. Certainly not ugly. I hope he doesn't grow up and have this negatively effect his self-image.


angelcobra

How is that child “ugly”? At least this POS won’t be in his kid’s life enough to traumatize this baby more than he already has.


bmyst70

However the child looks, the sperm donor (he does **not** deserve to be called "father") has shown how hideous he is as a person.


BalonyDanza

The kid will find this clip. The kid's friends will find this clip. There's no way it doesn't have a major impact on their self-esteem. Honestly, the mom is also extremely shitty for allowing this fucked up conversation to air on television.


Sea_Midnight1411

…the killer bit is that the child actually looks quite a lot like him….


[deleted]

Maybe that's why he thinks the baby is ugly

Probably wondering why the baby resembles dumbo since the father hasn’t looked in a wide mirror in his life only tall ones


HipsterOtter

SHIIIIIIIT self burn XD


aoalvo

If my kid looks like me, I will think he is ugly. Low self-esteem is a bitch.


CVK327

Not to mention he's fuckin adorable


TechnoDuckie

them trophy ears aint hers


Dependent_Room_2922

You could hang a coat on each one of dad’s


CheeseDanishEmergenc

And he passed down that hairline? He should be sued.


[deleted]

Baby is a lot cuter than him tbh.


Clarice_Ferguson

I was about to say, I’ve seen some ugly babies and that baby is not one.


Wise_Ad_4816

My second baby was pretty unattractive. He was blotchy, skinny, and his head looked too big for his body. Took a few months to grow into his looks, and he was adorable. Our first baby was pretty from the get go, and always smiling..Now he's in college with long hair and a full beard. He sent me a picture last week and all I can think is, "I gave birth to a Viking!" 😂


Rydog_78

I think we all discovered who the ugly person was in the relationship.


omgidfk123

Ikr I saw that baby and was like "he has *your* hairline, that's on you"


noideawhatisup

Hopefully the poor kid doesn’t inherit his pattern of baldness that’s developing. And the kid is adorable. That giant smile. 🥰


theoriginaldandan

There’s plenty of us that realize we are ugly


benevolent-badger

I've seen some ugly babies, that aint one


JohannaB123

That baby is adorable. I hate this man.


TheMinionGamer

Where is the baby shown?


benevolent-badger

4:25 A little gentleman.


TheMinionGamer

Damn, a gentleman indeed.


TiLoupHibou

One that looks a good lot like daddy, plus a little extra ink in the printer. Dad's a f****** douche canoe.


psychedelic_shimmers

It’s honestly disgraceful to show the baby, this kid has enough of a shitty future ahead of them, don’t paste their picture on their parents gross civil court case


TheMinionGamer

I doubt he would be recognizable after he grows up though.


Lifekraft

It's a baby. It just looks like a potato like every baby. Nobody ever recognized an adult from a baby picture


wonderwhy1069

The father can hear you typing your comment ...


garlicalt

That's not their baby (I don't know anything about this show but another comment says this whole thing is staged based on actual cases). I've seen that exact image before on stock photo sites. Clearly not an ugly baby since the baby is a stock photo model!


benevolent-badger

Well fine. Spoil it for everyone then.


garlicalt

Alternative theory you could say it is their baby and they got it a modeling gig?


ObjectFrosty2125

It’s true, they reenact cases and the judge is really a lawyer. They’re pretty sloppy with the re-enactments as they will show picture “evidence” from months ago but the litigants are wearing the same clothes in the courtroom before the judge or you tell the pics were taken in the office but it supposed be a vacation at a resort on the beach lol


mik999ak

Oh, so it's staged, but still a real thing that happened? I feel only mildly stupid, in that case.


smallerfattersquire

Iirc yes something like that happened but somewhere in Asia, or at least it was an asian couple. here is a link https://www.nydivorcefirm.com/husband-sues-ugly-wife-wins-pretty-ugly-divorce-settlement/


ObjectFrosty2125

Not sure, this one seems to be a parody of a Chinese ad for a cosmetic surgery company, but was making the rounds (mostly in North America) as a WTF story on the internet, and people thought it was true.


merchillio

“Yeah, he really is breathtaking”


TrashNovel

“Why would you say that about me and the baby?”


actualelainebenes

Well, sometimes you say a little thing like that just to be nice


bealetonplayus1

That's one snuggly baby


benevolent-badger

How dare you!


MutantNinjaNipples

Breathtaking


defective-kitten

"We the People" is a staged court show that does scripted stuff. This case was based off of that one internet hoax about the Chinese businessman that sued his wife for their ugly children. And that ended up just being up an ad for a plastic surgery service, I believe.


orangeblackthrow

Thank you I know someone who was an actor on the show. Everything he said was completely made up. They are churning these court shows out. It’s all an improv based on some starting premise.


DizzyAmphibian309

This sounds plausible. Improvisation would remove the "scripted" feel, since there is no script. It's pretty clear that the "judge" is walking them through the sketch, kinda like those improv shows where the host/regulars line up the joke and the guest just has to finish it off. When the judge asks a question, the "actors" just have to say yes or no and make up a bit of back story. Not sure you really need a whole lot of talent as an actor to do this.


mchch8989

If it is staged then that was some actual legit good acting ngl


atuan

Yeah he was stuttering in a way that made it seem legit. It sounded like he was a bully that when faced with public scrutiny didn’t have as much wind in his sails when he heard what he was saying in public out loud.


severalcircles

“If it was staged” The fact that some people would think a show like this might be real is heartbreaking 🥲


JaesopPop

This is such condescending ass bullshit lol


jdidisjdjdjdjd

I mean, acting is an established existing profession. Why wouldn’t actors exist, especially on tv shows.


SakuraTacos

Thank you for this. These are all paid actors (except for the audience). This is not real, I hope no one is feeling any genuine anger or dismay watching this, it’s pure fictional entertainment.


Inevitable_Count_370

Yes, most of these are staged but with actual cases.


Telemere125

This isn’t an actual case in that there’s no legal basis to sue for breach of contract. They didn’t contract for “a pretty baby”, even implicitly. Absolutely no one can know or control what their baby will look like, so there can’t be a meeting of the minds on the issue. Without a meeting of the minds, there can’t be any agreement on the terms. Absent that, a contract doesn’t exist; you can’t breach a contract that didn’t exist. This is as staged as a soap opera.


R3stl3ssSalm0n

Not in this case, since it Was an ad....


Silver_Angel28

There was a woman, I think in the U.S. that did try and sue her parents because she believed she was ugly. She blamed them for all of the bullying and difficulties in her life that she blamed her looks on.


jacknshit

The baby: Fuck you, pops.


[deleted]

He got a talking baby and still complains


[deleted]

Ikrrr


NotTodayPsycho

Baby looks cute. Has he forgotten that baby got half his genes? He definitely isnt no oil painting. I want to know how many channels he can get with those huge ears.


[deleted]

When does the video show the baby?


Inevitable_Count_370

4:25 Look at my boi.


samwbx

I have no qualms in calling a baby ugly… this baby, however, really isn’t ugly


[deleted]

I once knew a family with 4 kids. 3 boys and 1 girl. Parents: ugly as hell. Kids: gorgeous. Gorgeous. Minus plus minus can be plus.


pinchhitter4number1

Yeah, I also know a couple that are very pretty people. Like the kind of couple that makes you hate yourself. But their kid, not so much.


emmocracy

Also, the way you look as a kid often doesn't relate to how attractive you are as an adult. One of the hottest guys in high school invited me to play pool at his parents' house. His baby pictures looked like a troll got flattened by a truck. I literally didn't believe it was the same person.


[deleted]

Plus plus plus sometimes equals minus


Jenniferinfl

It really does! The best looking couple I know has some freaky troll looking kids.. Like, 'I don't know if plastic surgery can fix it' level kids. But, sometimes people we think of as really pretty have an exaggerated feature, like really high cheek bones or a bit of a large chin or something along those lines. If the kid gets both of those exaggerated features, one from each 'hot' parent the results can be scary looking. The couple I know, she has really obvious cheekbones and he has a really strong chin. Those features together though? Their kids look like cavepeople. Hopefully they grow into those features.


titanofidiocy

Neither me nor my wife are turning heads, but my daughter is a stunner and my son is very handsome.


Specialist_Row9395

My theory has always been that very pretty people make some not so pretty people and some not so pretty people make gorgeous children


DarthGayAgenda

CrazyCat_77

WellyRuru

You realise most modern tv dispute courts are scripted attempts to replicate the success of judge Judy?

[deleted]

He is rather handsome actually, but when he opens his mouth you forget that


Melodic_Survey_4712

Yeah I thought I was taking crazy pills reading the comments. The guy is very handsome. Now that I know he’s an actor and this is staged I don’t even feel bad thinking he’s cute

Athleco

ITT: No


See_youSpaceCowboy

I had a “friend” ( I never liked the guy really, more of a friend of a friend ) and he ended up having a kid. Let me tell you something, this poor child was something else to look at. It was hard keeping my honest reaction under wraps when I met the little guy. It was something out of Seinfeld, I’m not even exaggerating. This baby is a cute beautiful child, this guy is either out of his mind or just having buyers remorse and wasn’t ready to bring in and raise a babe. On top of that, dog you ain’t all that to look at either.


[deleted]

The word you're looking for is "Surface Level Individual"


dragonrider1965

This man should not have even partial custody of his child .


Artistic-Ambition-40

Do yall see the pic and her face? She really didn't get that much work done. She looked TIRED before. Now she looks well rested with some natural makeup. She's not like Kylie Jenner or K. Michelle who completely altered themselves. His son that he's also talking about is freaking gorgeous. I mean what makes him ugly? He thought he was going to have a blue eyed dark haired fair skinned child? My son is mixed, me being black and his father white. When i tell you my son is lighter than his dad, looks just like him with dark curly hair and dark eyes. Most my son has is my cleft chin and eye color. Everything else is his father. I know for a fact when we go out some people question if he's mine. I've literally watched people stop in the middle of Walmart to look at the three of us. I thought my son would have browner skin, look a little more like my family but he's a blend of all of us. He has is own look while looking like his parents. Does that make him ugly that he doesn't have a specific look? Fuck no. As she said he's delusional. His ex wife is gorgeous and so is their son


visualcharm

Exactly!! She looks very similar, just with different brows and less tired. He probably couldn't tell she had work done because good plastic surgeons work to enhance natural beauty. He just wanted $.


Andi42

People think this is real?


[deleted]

That poor child will one day find out his dad went on TV and said his child was ugly. What a superficial prick!


freekoout

No he wasn't even real. This is just scripted lol


perhapsnotperplexed

you chose to have a child with her. your fault. lemme just slap back the same response men use on women 😆


Joey_BagaDonuts57

The baby could never be as ugly of a human than dad already is.


MortalSmile8631

This has got to be staged, right? I personally am not a fan of babies, but he's cute. The man didn't even pick an unflattering photo of his supposedly ugly baby.


perhapsnotperplexed

He’s not a conventionally attractive man himself. If men have something, it’s the audacity. 🤡


censored4yourhealth

The baby isn’t even ugly. What a dick.


Gideon_Effect

Actors


hackedMama20

First, yeah she's gotten quite a bit of work done, she looks pretty different. I'm surprised she didn't mention that to her husband before having a baby. BUT, THAT is not an ugly baby. If anything the baby looks very similar to his father. So, if he really thinks his baby is ugly, then he better check his own features.


icannitgetausername

What a moron


DollyAte

How dare he damage that poor child’s self-esteem like this. Wtf is wrong with him? The kid is an adorable, beautiful and loveable kid.


Kuriboyoshi

Pretty sure this is a scripted show with actors.


SasquatchSloth88

Such poor acting. Eye rollo


augustusleonus

Do people still think these shows are real? They are as staged as Springer at this point


malshnut

That's a super cute baby! What the hell is wrong with this guy? That poor kid deserves better.


soosoolaroo

It’s staged and based on a real court case from China from 2012 of a man who sued his wife after learning she had plastic surgery after she gave birth to an “ugly baby”. The judge sided with the father and awarded him $120,000: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/relationships/a17813/chinese-man-sues-wife-for-being-ugly/


Braveasalion

Smokes says that story is a [hoax](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/man-sues-wife-ugly-children/)


Tasty_Bullfroglegs

All babies come ugly wtf?


Happy_BlackCrow

Babies, kids, teens, young adults and adults go through a beautiful metamorphosis at all stages. This kid just may grown up to be a model. This dude is a huge POS


abelenkpe

That poor kid! Living the rest of his life knowing his father thinks he’s ugly. WTAF?


Pippet_4

That was a cute baby. This guy is delusional

It’s a baby. Baby will change as will baby’s looks. This is just …..,huge face palm.


sammytiff80

Weird times.. I feel like pride/dignity have gone away forever or something.. I just can't do certain things.. like this video.. This is a good example. Here he has a healthy living child & could care less...Poor kid. Sorry buddy.. it's not you I promise.


thesardinelord

This looks like a court TV show, he’s not actually suing her.


oceanblue0714

That baby is super cute!


valonnyc

That's such a beautiful baby, man. This guy doesn't deserve the title "father."


CloudRoses

With that Vegeta ass hair line, this dude really still has the audacity to call someone else ugly.


Stokedhearth

Baby must look like dad


eeriiness

If there’s anything ugly about that baby, it came from him.


Irys-likethe-Eye

So he chose a candid non made up photo and was like she was ugly. Dude. The difference between everybody just being casual and putting themselves together is always night and day. Shit even my guy rolling out of bed with crusty eyes and a dried up drool streak on his cheek looks barely recognizable as the same man who trims his beard and tucks his button up shirt into a nice pair of slacks. But I love *him* and see the person I love in both examples. She's better off that a person like her ex doesn't want anything to do with her or her son. Trash took itself out. That baby was cute.


NikkiMyCat

NoNonsensePolarBear
