Yeah. Well, I heard your side of the story, you know, and there's always two sides. So let's hear what Carl has to say. So everyone, please welcome Carl to the show.
You know damn well I ain't bust that car window. I did not bust your car window.
Black man.
I did not bust your car window.
Don't do that.
I did not bust your car window. You've been cheating way before me.
Really?
You've been cheating way before me.
Black man, you was cheating when I first met you.
You was married, remember?
How you doing? I'm good, sir.
How you doing?
You were married, remember?
Were you married when y'all got together?
Yes, yes.
Were you cheating? And you was cheating on your wife?
Yes, I was.
Okay then. And so Carl, so that morning after you busted the window out the car, what were you thinking?
I didn't bust the window out the car. I did not bust that window out the car. I'm telling you, I did not bust the car. I'm the one that woke up and told her that the car window was busted. So whatever happened prior that night, I do not know.
So why?
It wasn't that night.
It was the other morning. 'Cause the Ring camera got it on you.
You took the to school and as you were walking back from taking to school.
I did not. I'm not on Ring.
The Ring camera has the audio.
Yes, you are. I'm not on Ring camera. I did not bust that window.
Okay. Karl, so you put a tracker in Chellie's car.
Okay, I did do that. I did do that.
I did do that. Tell me why.
But only reason why I did it because I work it every day and I was noticing that she was busy when I'm at work. But then when I'm off, her, she don't have nothing to do. So I'm wondering, I'm wondering like, why you so busy when I'm not home?
If you're off, why do I have to be working?
Nothing to do when I'm home.
If anything, if you're off, I should be at home laid up, booed up with my man. This is what I've been trying to get you to understand for years. Oh, you're moving different.
You're moving different. No, I needed you to be home when I'm not home.
What? How does this play out?
That's what I needed. That's what I was looking for.
That's not right.
That's not right.
That's what I was looking for.
That's not, how?
Why would you want her to be at home when you're not home? That would be controlling.
It would put me in a, I don't think it's control. I think it would put me in a comfortable position.
Controlling.
But that's control. 'Cause if I want you to be in one space when I'm not there, I'm controlling you and where you're at.
But I feel like this. So it's control, you know what I'm saying?
If he's off, Why wouldn't I not wanna go get my nails done, not go get my lashes done, and lay up at home with you? If you're going to work, then before you get going to work—
'Cause it looks like you got done doing whatever you doing in the streets, and now it's my turn.
You wait till these results come back and everything is everything, then you gonna be all right.
I already know the results, 'cause I seen—
You gonna be all right, okay? Well, she told me, she told my producer, Shelly told my producer that you are a serial cheater.
I'm more of a ugly dude with charm. I'll say that.
You said you're a what?
A ugly dude with charm. Let me explain. Like, I can't serial cheat because I don't have attractive features. Like, I'm not tall, I'm not cute in the face. I don't have money.
So who is? So who is? So who is? So let's just keep on rolling, baby. But you're not attracted though. I saw something in you.
But let me finish this. But you slept with them all. Charm, I use charm.
But you slept with them all, right?
I have, I have, I have.
But you're not a serial cheater though.
I steal ugly guy with charm.
That cheats.
Do you wanna get back together?
I love him.
I wanna go.
I love him, I love him. I wanna go. I do, I love him.

Please, child, your ass. That's why I called this show. That's why I wanted my name cleared. Because you made me feel like I wasn't nothing. You made me feel like I deserved everything that you gave. I don't deserve that. I deserve 20 times better. I'm done with this.
I'm done first.
Please, if you was done first, why did I leave? I packed my stuff and left.
Look, this is the bigger picture.
Karamo, this is the truth of the matter. Okay, you have had a horrible past and your horrible past based on a narrative you were telling yourself about your self-esteem, which was an incorrect narrative. Someone told you when you were younger that maybe you don't have traditional looks and so you started to use that as a way to be like, look at me, I don't have it, but I'ma still do this. And you've allowed that to damage a good relationship and a good woman. And that's surreal. And then y'all got into a toxic cycle where you loved each other because you were there for her and you know she's there for you. And then it just got worse and worse and worse. I know. And you said that you're not with her right now 'cause you need to grow. And that's the most truthful thing that you've said on this stage. You shouldn't be in this relationship 'cause you do have a lot of growth to do. First of all, you need to stop telling yourself this narrative about your self-esteem. You don't have low self-esteem. You don't think you ugly. You don't have any of that stuff. I just saw messages in your phone. You don't think that way. So stop saying it. You're in your 50s now. It's not attractive. It's not attractive. Own up. But then secondly, on top of that, you need to ask yourself, why are these side relationships more important than building something with someone you've had for 13 years? What are you afraid is gonna happen that you're gonna miss out on if you don't try to invest in something that has been by your side?— for 13 years?
I feel like I did.
You didn't, so let's start again. So why are you afraid of investing in this woman who has been by your side versus trying to talk to all these other people?
'Cause I'm a dumbass and I'm gonna take it.
I believe it's 'cause I'm just, I don't, I'm maybe protecting myself.
[Speaker] No.
Okay. 'Cause protecting yourself doesn't mean that you destroy somebody else. That's not how that works. Okay? So, 'cause let me give you a visual 'cause I like to make sure. If I was to build a fort up right now to say, let me protect me, I'm on this side of the fort. I'm not throwing darts at you. Okay? So that means that your analogy there doesn't work. So if you're protecting yourself, then you should be fine and she should be fine because there should be a divide between you all. But unfortunately, when you are doing these things, you're hurting her while also hurting yourself. So the question I ask you again is why are you afraid of investing in something that has been by your side, a woman that's been by your side for 13 years?
Because the woman that's been by my side have done things that hurted me that I believe I need to heal from. I've tried to invest in my relationship with her. That's why I decided to change my life for her. During this process, during this process, I just made more time to notice her and notice her past.
You changed your life for me, but you added more hoes under your belt as you're changing for me.
Come on now, be for real.
So the one thing that we know is the only thing that's not broken in this relationship is not just your windshield, it's also the trust that's shattered. The truth of the matter is, is the more that you tell him that you'll stay with him 'cause you love him so much, You are giving him permission.
I love him, I do. I do, I do. But we are in two different places. He's here and I'm there. And I think that's probably the best.
That is the best. That's probably the best. I'd really probably tell you define, redefine what love means.
Okay. No, I was never sexually involved with. No, there was no sexual anything between me and. And you still was out fucking though.
You done been through 3 different phone numbers, 3 different phones.
Since we been broke up, is it any fucking thing in my phone? Is it any nudies of me and a dude in my phone? Since we broke up though.
You asking me why am I like this? Why am I messing with this person? Why am I messing with that person? I'm explaining it to you by telling you it's because all the stuff that you did to me, I haven't healed from.
How the fuck do you think I've been feeling for the last 10, 12 years, Carl? You damaged me. Whatever it was that was bothering you or whatever it is that you felt like you needed truth from. Those should have been the fucking questions that you asked instead of asking all this old random off-the-wall shit.
