- December 4, 2002
In Maury season 4 episode 32, titled "THE 3 OF US CAN PROVE ONE MAN FATHERED ALL 3 OF OUR BABIES!", viewers are presented with a dramatic paternity test case. Three women, each with a baby, claim that they all had relations with the same man around the same time and believe him to be the father of their children. However, he has denied any responsibility for the babies, leading the women to turn to the Maury Show to settle the matter once and for all.
The episode begins with the three women, each with their baby in tow, making their way onto the Maury stage. As they introduce themselves to the audience, they explain how they all met the man they believe to be the father, revealing that they were all simultaneously involved with him. They describe his charm and the way he was able to manipulate them into believing that they were the only one he was involved with. However, as they compare their babies, they begin to realize that there are striking similarities between them, leading them to suspect that they may all belong to the same man.
The women explain that they have all made efforts to get in touch with the man, but that he has refused to take responsibility for any of the babies. They describe his evasive tactics and how he has dodged their questions about paternity. However, they remain convinced that he is the father and are hoping that the DNA test will confirm their suspicions.
Maury then welcomes the man onto the stage, where he is met with jeers and boos from the audience. The man vehemently denies that he is the father of any of the babies, claiming that the women are lying and trying to trap him into responsibility. He insists that he has no memory of being with any of them around the time of conception and accuses them of trying to scam him for money.
Maury then presents the results of the DNA test, which reveal that the man is indeed the father of all three babies. The women are ecstatic and rush to hug each other, relieved to finally have closure on the paternity issue. However, the man remains in denial, insisting that the test is fraudulent and that he will not take responsibility for any of the babies.
In the aftermath of the DNA test, Maury speaks individually with each of the women, getting their reactions to the results and asking them about their plans moving forward. Each woman expresses a desire to hold the man responsible for his actions, but they are uncertain about how to proceed. They discuss the importance of supporting each other and raising their children together, despite the tumultuous circumstances of their pregnancies.
The episode concludes with Maury offering resources and advice to the women, helping them navigate the challenging road ahead as they face the realities of co-parenting with a man who has denied their children. It is a poignant reminder of the difficulties that face single mothers, particularly those whose paternity is in doubt, and the need for solidarity and support in the face of adversity.
