Dad Chose His New Wife Who Tried to Stab Me Over His Own Daughter! | KARAMO

In this episode of Karamo, Janay confronts her father Ramon and his new wife Rhonda about a past violent incident in which Rhonda allegedly tried to stab Janay with scissors during a dispute over weed use. Janay recounts giving her father an ultimatum—choose her or Rhonda—and says he chose Rhonda, fracturing their relationship. Rhonda defends herself, claiming she never intended to harm Janay, recounts moments of caring for Janay (birthday cake, trips), and denies any wrongdoing, while also asserting authority over household rules. The discussion spirals into accusations of control, disrespect, and differing parenting styles, including Janay’s alleged weed use, school attendance, and Rhonda’s expectations of masculinity from Ramon. The family also brings up trust issues, prompting Karamo to introduce an "Unlock the Phone" investigation to address suspected infidelity. The investigation finds no evidence of cheating or explicit content on either party’s phones. Throughout, Karamo mediates, urging apologies, clarifying boundaries, and encouraging the family to agree on support for Janay. The episode concludes with apologies, a promise to communicate needs, and a hopeful note that the family can move toward unity.
Chapters
My father is with a woman who tried to stab me with a pair of scissors all over some weed. She was arrested that day, but before she got out, we were long gone. We were in Louisiana. We were gone for 6 months. I gave my dad a choice. You either pick her or me. And he chose that crazy bitch. That really broke my heart because it messed up our relationship that we had before she came around. And made me feel some kind of way. Me and my dad relationship has not been the same since. We barely talk. I want my dad to know I wasn't trying to mess up his relationship. I just really wanted him to open his eyes and realize that she's not good for him.
[Speaker] All right, Janeya joining us in the audience, but let's start with Rhonda to hear her side of the story. So Rhonda, thank you for being here so much. [APPLAUSE] I gotta ask you very fast, Because that's my first time hearing that. Did you go after my husband's daughter? Absolutely not.
The scissors were already in my hand at the time. I was telling him to get the hell out my house.
Okay.
No, no, no, no.
Stand up.
You went to get the scissors and if your daughter wasn't right there, you probably would've stabbed him. So you could stop lying.
I promise you, if I wanted to cut you, you would've been cut. My police record proves it. So don't lie on me like that.
Okay, so—
And I actually loved you.
You loved?
Yeah.
You don't love her anymore?
I got love for her. But as a child, the way she performed, absolutely not. I just wanna know what I did to you. What did I do to you? When your mother didn't come through for you, I was there. Remember your 16th birthday party? 'Cause you was sitting around my house all sad and I went right out and bought you a birthday cake.
Yeah, I remember. Uh-huh.
What about the Florida trip? Coming, inviting you into my family, nurturing you, trying to be a mother to you. That's all I wanted to do.
I know, but—
Was you supposed to smoke weed? Absolutely not.
No, but I was already like that. You can't change somebody.
That's neither here nor there. You came into my house. No teenager, no child is going to get high in my house and don't go to school.
I was going to school.
Karamo, we actually had to wake her up to go to school to catch the bus.
I was going to school every day.
You was not.
What are you talking about?
No, you wasn't.
I was in Chicago. I wasn't in Vegas yet. I was online.
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about when you were in my house in Las Vegas.
Right.
Exactly.
And I was going to school.
You did not get up for school.
Yes, I was.
You did not get up for school. All right. On several occasions, we had to wake you up.
How did it get to this point? How did it get to this point? I'm confused.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
From your point of view, I mean, you're standing here now. I need to know, how did it get to this point? You're 19 years old?
Yeah.
Okay, how did it get to this point?
I don't know, I just don't like the way, like, I don't know, she took control, man. I don't like all that. Like, she be forcing stuff too much.
I require him to be a man.
Okay.
He don't know how to be a man, basically. He don't know how to, like, he be letting stuff escalate too far. He don't know how to speak up for himself.
This is your father? Yes. Your husband, he doesn't speak up, he doesn't do these things?
That's partly true, but he definitely don't stand up to her.
Okay.
See, she was, I was the, his only, you know, woman in his life, so to speak. So everything was about her until First Lady come. So things had to be, they had to be changed.
I didn't care about that.
I'm sorry, things just had to be changed. I required him to be a man. No, I did not allow him to buy you weed. And no, I'm not gonna allow him to kiss your ass.
He don't do that.
And bow down to you because you are a child.
He don't do that.
And that's where the disconnect came in. You know what I'm saying? 'Cause I got 3 girls of my own and you know that. I've never treated you no different from my kids, but you're gonna respect me.
I never did not respect you.
Oh, the devil is a liar.
This is what you told me. You said if I wasn't to wear a dress at y'all wedding, that I wasn't gonna go.
And then I turned around and went back and found—
You have a problem with me being gay. I don't care, I'm gonna be my way. So I don't care about what you're talking about.
She says that I have a problem with her being gay. That's not the case. Half of my family is homosexual. My problem with her is she tried to be something that she's not.
Okay, so you were arrested, she said.
Yeah.
Yes. What happened?
Police came, they called the police on me in my house.
I didn't call the police. And my dad said you called the police, so which one was it?
They called the police. Both of their names were on the police complaint. I went to jail for 33 hours.
And because of your father?
I just wanted them out my damn house.
Okay, and what happened when you wanted them outta your house because you were arguing with her father?
Yeah, he wholeheartedly disrespectful again. If she can't get up and go to school, what does she need to get high for? That's counterproductive. So he goes behind my back, takes money out, and goes and buys her weed. We got a problem.
That's not what happened.
Because what I say go, this is my house.
That's not what happened.
I'm the lady. That's not what happened.
That's not what happened, no.
We said it, I'll give you the front end abuse.
We argued a lot before. You had a problem with me, you bought me weed. This ain't have shit to do with school. I went to school every day.
What happened when you came back?
When I came back home?
Yeah.
After jail?
Yeah.
He was gone. He had took everything. He was gone.
Got it. And how long ago was this?
This was in 2022.
2022. Got it. Got it.
It really is.
Okay.
You like the great manipulator. You do whatever you can to get whatever you want. And it's sad when all you gotta do is just be you.
That's what you do. Please stop messing with me. Please don't do that.
I'm a grown-ass woman. I don't have to be nothing. I'm not. You the one still growing. You gotta get to where I'm at.
I'm already grown.
You gotta get to where I'm at.
I don't have to be grown.
She thinks she grown.
I don't think nothing.
She thinks she grown.
No, I don't. Y'all met at a bar. Like, you don't even know me, man.
Again, what's your problem with me again?
You don't even know me.
Because I'm the one that sit for you and brought you into my house. What's your problem with me again? She can't even tell you why she got a problem with me.
What is the problem?
Just because he's being a husband to his wife. That's the problem.
What is the problem, Jann?
That's not the problem. The problem is you do little slick stuff. You think somebody, no, I'm not slow. You not finna manipulate me on this show. I'm not a goofy. We not finna do that. That's what you're not finna do.
Slick is you.
Do all kind of slick stuff.
Girl, you spit in the whale's back.
You always doing this. You do this, she do this, she do that.
So you just feel like, you feel like there's disrespect in her language, that's what you feel?
Yes, and she's controlling. She think her opinion matter. It doesn't to me.
Opinion does matter when it comes to my family. Not to me. Well, and that's why you where you at. You need some help.
You do too. That's why you on the show. Then y'all call it, 'cause I didn't. They called me.
I called them to unlock my phone. I don't know where you came from.
Like, y'all don't know how hard it is on me being stuck between both of y'all. I love both of y'all. I can't make a decision on you being my wife and you being my daughter. I came here 'cause I want y'all to get along so we get back to this family thing, taking the trips, doing what we need to do as one.
I agree.
Not arguing and all this. How you doing, Karamo?
How you doing?
Nice to meet you, my brother.
Nice to meet you. Take a seat for me, sir. Thank you for being here. Did you know your daughter felt like this?
Somewhat I did. You know, I got married and I think my daughter just felt like she was losing me. And that's not the case though.
You wanna come up here? Come on upstage.
Come on.
That's his only child. That's why I don't understand why she would even think that he would allow me Why would you even think he would allow me to mistreat you? That's crazy.
I don't control him. I just look at things different, basically. First of all, it's too many Sagittarius in one house.
I agree. No, this is serious.
I'm a Sagittarius, she's a Sagittarius, my daughter's a Sagittarius.
Hold on, let me say this real quick because the thing was, it's so interesting to me before you get into that, at the end of the day, you called this show to unlock a phone because there was issues with you two and cheating or feeling of cheating.
Yes.
But then this just exploded into something completely different. But this contributes.
This contributes. It contributes to the overall issue because while he's away, of course he wondering what I'm doing. I'm wondering what he doing. You know, it—
Got it. That's where we're at.
It's just crazy.
And is that true for you? That's true. Like when you're there dealing with your daughter, then you feel insecure about what she could be doing?
Yeah, I'm not gonna say I don't have trust issues. Because I've been through some things in the past.
And so you're ending up being in the middle of this.
I guess.
You feel like you're, do you feel like you're in the middle?
No.
Huh?
Mm-mm.
You don't? 'Cause I'm sure you feel like you're in the middle of it.
Yeah.
You feel like you're in the middle of all this drama. Oh yeah, for sure. But the reality is, is you are in the middle of all this. I guess. It's you, 'cause you're only 19. Yeah. You're still a baby. Yeah, still young. And you know that. Of course she has, of course she has adult, And that's what I'm saying.
By her being grown, she made herself an issue. She could've just been chilling in the peanut gallery like the rest of the kids.
No, she didn't make herself an issue.
Definitely.
She didn't. She didn't make herself an issue.
Yeah. By assuming that I control him? By thinking that I tell him what to do?
But that's not her issue.
It's there in my heart.
That's what she said.
Yeah, I know.
'Cause I still wanna get back, what is your problem with me? You control my daddy.
I'm gonna tell you something really quickly because there's a lot going on here. So there's a couple things that we need to address first of all. The thing of you saying like, I can't control, you are a very strong woman.
Indeed.
And you also have set certain boundaries and standards for your household. Absolutely. So within that, those things do allow someone who is not taking a hands-on approach to seem as if they're being controlled. And so that's not your issue. That's your issue. Because the fact of the matter is that When she sets her boundaries, as her husband, you're supposed to support those boundaries. But because you're not supporting those boundaries, of course the child involved seems like, well, my dad is being controlled, which is then causing her to be in the middle of this situation. But then secondly, the fact of the matter is that you compare her to your daughters.
I'm just stating facts.
But those facts shouldn't have been stated. Hold on, hear me out. Hold on, because I'm getting to you next because we gotta clear this up.
I'm sorry, I just believe in kids being kids.
I agree with you.
You know what I'm saying? I don't care.
But this is the thing, when you start comparing a child to something else and not getting support from the father, you become the villain. And that's the issue.
That's the issue.
But you shouldn't have to take it. You shouldn't have to take it. No, no, no, no, no. You shouldn't have to take it.
I've been taken, I've been beat my whole life.
But you shouldn't have to.
I know.
You shouldn't have to.
I'm a fighter.
But you shouldn't have to.
I'm a fighter.
But you shouldn't have to. And that's the reality. That's the reality. You shouldn't have to. And that's where it goes to you because as her husband, you should have been the one to step up and support her in these boundaries, support her so she doesn't have to be the fighter.
What I'm telling them is I'm stuck in the middle.
You're not. She's stuck in the middle. This all makes sense to me. But I will tell you again, the comparison to her other daughters, the comparison to her mother, Those things she does need an apology for because those things will always, always cause conflict in your relationship. So can you, for me, can you at least for this child apologize for that? Because that's gonna hurt her so bad.
I apologize, Janay, for comparing you. Do you accept my apology?
I honestly told her, I said, well, you know, let my daughter come to you.
Janay was the talker.
Yeah, I know.
What do you need? Because you're crying. And one of the things that I hate a child to say over and over again is, "I don't care." Because at your age, you should care. So what do you need right now?
Support.
Support. And how do you need support?
Uh.
No one's ever asked that question, have they? I know. You deserve to think about what type of support you need so that these two individuals get on the same page and be there to support you. Because by the end of this, you're gonna know that and they're gonna be able to get on the same page to support you, all right? There is love there and I need you to hear that from somebody who don't know y'all.
I know she care more than him.
She care, you feel like she cares more than him?
More than me?
It just be, yeah.
Hold on, did you, so that's a very clear, this outta your child's mouth, so she knows She knows that the fight you've had and everything has happened. Thank you for sharing that last piece with me. So what I'm gonna ask you to do is I want you to step backstage and I want you to think about what type of support you need. Okay? Thank you. All right? Sit into your green room and enjoy. Now back to y'all, 'cause now I see, I see, look, we've already started to heal some stuff. Look at y'all holding hands. Look at y'all holding hands.
Look at y'all holding hands.
So I'm gonna ask y'all, do we really need to unlock these phones?
This is really like, I guess, straight up. Do you really think there's cheating?
Do you really think there's cheating? I don't. You don't think there's cheating?
I don't. I'm a very secure woman. Like I say, if they can take them, they can have them.
Do you think there's cheating?
You know what? I don't know. I've been through some things. I didn't—
So then you know what? So I asked y'all the question, do we even need to unlock the phones? You said no.
No.
But your answer lets me know we still need to unlock the phone.
Oh, man.
Ramon. We unlocked your phone, so here we go. Rhonda, you wanna know if Ramon has sent DMs to any females on his two Facebook accounts. Ramon says he has not. My Unlock the Phone investigator searched your DMs and found that Ramon is telling the truth. Ah. Huh? Rhonda, you wanna know if Ramon has made any calls to a specific female on his phone. Ramon says he has not.
Who was that?
My Unlock the Phone investigator searched his calls and found that he is telling the truth.
Don't worry about it.
Rhonda, you wanna know if Ramon has sent any explicit photos to any females. Ramon says he has not. My Unlock the Phone investigator searched his photos, both in his phone and deleted. And found that he is telling the truth.
So what you sweating for? You and your hands sweating.
I got lotion on my hands.
Good job.
I got lotion on my hands, baby.
Good job. It can be nerve-wracking.
I can get it because you might think, but we searched, you haven't done anything.
I'm really tripping. Y'all can get deleted messages.
Oh, we get the deleted as well. Oh, we get deleted photos as well.
Technology. Uh-huh.
All right, so—
My turn.
Rhonda, we unlocked your phone.
Let's get to this.
All right.
Ramon, you wanna know if Rhonda has any explicit photos on her phone. Rhonda says she does not. My Unlock the Phone investigator searched her photos and found that Rhonda is telling the truth. Karamo, you wanna know if Rhonda has sent DMs to any men on Instagram or Facebook. Rhonda says she has not. My Unlock the Phone investigator searched her DMs and found that Rhonda is telling the truth. Ah. Karamo, you wanna know if Rhonda has sent texts to any men on specific dates from June to August of this year. Rhonda says she has not. My unlock the phone investigator searched her texts and found that Rhonda's telling the truth.
Oh.
What happened here is that there has just been an issue with your co-parenting and the lack of support for your wife that has caused these fights and insecurities. And what we've established here now is that there's truly There's trust and love here, but it's time for you all to get on the same page. You know now there's no infidelity. You know now that this young girl does love you. There is respect in her for you. She said it. Like, you got to hear it. I'm glad you did.
Me too.
Because you know now, but now it's time for you to get on the same page. I sent your daughter backstage and I said, how do you need support? When she tells you how she needs support, You're gonna turn to each other and look at each other and agree. And if you don't agree with how she needs support, then you say, "We're gonna talk about it." And y'all are going to then talk about it and come back and be on the same page. Because now once your house is united, there'll be no more of this division. I wish y'all the best of luck. I actually really do think that y'all have gotten something that's gonna give y'all the first step to be a family together. Do you feel the same?
Yes.
Good. Do you feel the same?
I do.
I wish y'all the best of luck. Really, I do. Thank you.
I really do. I really do.
All right, friends, stay with us. We'll be right back with more.
I love you too.
Always have.
I just got you.
So you good.
