Chapters
All right, so you asked me to unlock his phone. Is there anything that you wanna say, Eric?
I do let other people use my phone sometimes.
You let other people use your phone?
Keep the shoes on, girl. Keep the shoes on.
No, no, no.
We not unlocking a phone until you keep them shoes back on, girl.
My foot hurt.
No, keep them shoes back on, girl. Put them shoes back on.
Now, if there's something in this phone that is going to upset you, if you feel like you're being triggered or you feel like you're getting angry, the thing that you cannot do is engage in violence.
I'm not.
Okay.
Nobody's worth going to jail for.
Amen. When it comes to unlocking your phone, Eric, we went through it all. We went through DMs, we went through apps. When it came to emails, we found zero suspicious emails. When it came to calls, we found zero calls.
When it came to text messages, I found 119 suspicious text messages.
119?
119.
Really, Eric?
Hmm?
119.
119.
119 text messages. Security rate, yeah. Yeah, take a seat for me.
I'd rather stand.
You rather? Well, come stand by me then.
You come stand by me then, okay? You stand by me.
Here we go.
I'm gonna hold your hand with this, okay? No, you don't have to hold my hand.
You sure?
You sure?
I'm good.
You sure?
119.
So we found 3 screenshots talking to a sex worker.
Oh!
Nah, that's right there. That's my homeboy we do one for.
Your homeboy?
Any response?
Like I told you, people use my phone sometimes, but I know I ain't text no stuff like that.
[Speaker:KARAMO] All right, on top of that, there was one thing that I really found out. There was a sexually explicit screenshot with somebody. I pulled all the messages, this specific person. So I printed all the pages of messages between you and this woman for you to see. Do you have anything you wanna say to now?
Your friend was still using your phone?
You can't use that excuse anymore. Do yourself a favor.
Okay.
Okay.
'Cause we're now looking at it.
Like I said, that's why we're here to try to work on our relationship.
No, no, no. You can't work on something and also say— You can't be honest. You can't work on something until there's honesty and acknowledgement. So can you look at the woman you're with and at least acknowledge and be real with her about what you've done?
I cheated, baby. I'm sorry. And like, I'm trying to, I'm being honest. I cheated.
I cheated. So the thing is, is that when she comes home at night, though you having a physical, being physically violent to him is not okay, the fact of the matter is, is that you do understand that there was some reason that she was acting this way. So now he's admitted that he's cheated. So now what is next for you? What is the decision that you have to make as a woman?
He doesn't care. So if I did the same thing, would you still be here?
