I Was Molested By My Father | KARAMO

Growing up, my father was a monster. He was mean. We didn't celebrate Christmas. We didn't celebrate birthdays. We didn't do anything. He was abusive to my mother. My father molested me between the ages of 10 and 12. He molested my sister. I never got over it. I'm still living with it. I want the DNA test to prove that they are my sisters. I want us to go back to loving each other instead of bickering. I want the bickering to stop.

Okay, well everyone, let's bring out Erica right now and get her side of the story.

Hi, Erica.

Thank you for being here.

Hi, Karamo.

Thank you.

Don't cry 'cause you just sat there and lied.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

Yes, you did.

I didn't.

You had doubts too, Erica. What other doubts should I have?

You had doubts.

I told you.

Why'd you look up our birth certificates? Just tell me that.

I didn't look it up.

You did that to find out we wasn't siblings.

I was looking in general. I found another birth certificate and I called y'all and said, "Hey, I found another birth certificate." And then I said, "Maybe we can do DNA for the other." Who's birth certificate?

Whose birth certificate did you find?

Another sibling.

No, they're not. I told y'all.

Okay, then why'd you call in and tell us that his name wasn't on our birth certificate? Didn't we already tell you that, Miss Verna?

Yes, and that's why I wasn't looking. I wasn't looking.

So who looked it up?

I've been calling you, sister.

Didn't you say that on the sister call? No. You did.

I'm in jail in my room.

You said you looked it up.

And I'm right here in yours.

Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying.

You are.

Let me get a little closer to you.

No, stay right there. Stay right there.

I am not lying. Yes, you are.

We treated you good. I treated you, I loved you, Erica. For you to do this to me, that is so hurtful.

You hear them saying that they're in pain right now. What made you feel like you had to doubt them?

I never doubted them.

Did it come out of your mouth that we may not be Nathan's daughters?

Nope.

Girl, you lying.

Nope. Nathan had a whole bunch of kids and I'm sure there could have been some moment that maybe, is there a possibility that you could have said something that could made them believe or lead them to think that you had doubts? So where do you think they're pulling this from?

I don't know.

Really?

I really don't know, really.

No, Bella, so where are you saying she's pulling it from?

I'm saying—

Where's this coming from?

Because I don't know where it's coming from, but I know that one time we was on a sister's call and we had brought up the fact because we had just got through talking to Erica and Erica was like, well, he didn't sign your birth certificates and all this other stuff. So that's where it came from.

So I heard you say on this tape that it was miserable for you growing up with your father. Tell me what your life was like.

It was horrible.

And I heard you talk about the abuse. Did your mother leave him after she found out about the abuse?

No.

No.

She stayed?

She stayed until she died.

Mm-mm-mm.

She stayed.

I would've left that man, I'm sorry.

What did that do to you? Seeing your mother stay with him? That hurt me. Yeah.

I can't get close to anybody because what he did to me. I'm sorry, I just can't.

We didn't do it.

I know you didn't do it.

So, and you left with your husband and everything, right?

That's my trigger though, I just can't. I can't do it.

Erica, I hate to see you up here crying. I hate to see you hurting. I loved you from day one. I called you my sister from day one.

We both did, always.

We both did. I mean, for you guys to have treated You know, for you guys to have said that, I mean, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried to be the best sister I could to you. And for you guys to reject me, it hurts so bad. I wanna hug you because I don't want you hurting, but then again, I wanna hit you too. But I love you.

You did it to me.
