Is My Boyfriend Trying To Poison Me? | KARAMO

In this Karamo episode, host Karamo confronts Kimberly, who alleges that her boyfriend Michael is trying to poison her, controlling her diet, and cheating. Kimberly describes how Michael gave her a special plate to limit her food intake, claims he makes her sleepy, and accuses him of hiding a tracker. She recounts their early romance, including weekly "smellograms" (love letters scented with cologne) and how the relationship changed after Michael got a job and began spending weekends with another man. Tensions rise as Karamo asks Michael to explain the accusations; Michael offers vague defenses, mentions casino habits, and repeatedly denies cheating. The show brings in an "Unlock the Phone" investigator: Kimberly’s phone is examined and found to contain no incriminating evidence, while Michael’s phone also shows no cheating. However, the investigator discovers 15 text exchanges and a voice message from Kimberly to another man, proving her dishonesty. Audio of the exchanged messages is played, revealing Kimberly’s flirtatious language. The audience is polled on who is telling the truth. The episode ends with both parties expressing uncertainty about staying together, with Karamo urging them to consider their choices.
Chapters
I like your energy when you came out here. Kimberly, what's going on? What's going on? You think your boyfriend trying to poison you?
Yes. Yes, I do.
So poison you in the sense of like he trying to make you sleepy or like really trying to make you die? Like that's some—
Well, sleepy, mostly sleepy.
Okay.
Get me sick so I don't go out 'cause he know I like to go out with my friends.
Got it, okay.
Don't want me to eat nobody else's food, just his. And then it's this special plate that he got. This is your plate, this is my plate. He says it's a portion thing, so I don't gain so much weight, but no.
Oh, he's worried about your weight? He comments on your weight?
Oh yeah. Oh, definitely. Definitely my weight.
But you look good.
You look good.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you. Yes, I know I do.
Okay, you do look good.
What are you talking about?
So why are you convinced that he's cheating?
'Cause he's always leaving.
Always leaving?
On weekends. He says he has a job in Cleveland and he always has to go there.
Yeah.
He always stay longer than what he's supposed to. Oh, I gotta stay longer, we didn't have the pods. And he don't answer his phone.
So I'm a little confused. My producer did tell me that you had these love letters. So tell me about the love letters that he would send.
Oh, the smellograms.
Smellograms?
The smellograms. Oh honey.
It says smell?
Let me tell y'all about the smellogram. My life has been filled with ups and downs, but no matter, I strive to be great. Also keeping my eyes on the prize, which is me, a head to uphold. The legacy that I create, I want to remember as a man of his word.
So it was very sweet. And what did he smell? He sprayed it with something?
He always spray cologne on it.
Okay, got it.
He would send it almost like every Friday, I would get a letter.
And this made you fall in love?
Yes.
I can understand that. He said he loved me. I can understand that.
Instantly. When I first initially met him, we met through a friend. That's how we met. And I told him, I don't like you like that. We can talk, but I don't like you because you older. I didn't like older men for some reason.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't like 'em.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then he started writing all these little letters.
I just saw your age. That's a gag 'cause I thought you were in your 20s or 30s, early 30s.
Really?
Yeah, you look good.
Thank you.
You look good, girl. That skin good. Your skin is, you look great.
I appreciate that.
May I tell the audience how old you are?
I appreciate that.
Can I tell?
Go right ahead.
She's 54. Right? No, that's, 'cause when you said you don't like older men. Yes.
I was like, right? I was like, work, okay, girl, yeah.
So.
Oh yeah, you better do it. Okay, so what happened when he moved into your house?
For the first couple of months it was perfect. He was cooking, buying everything, paying bills.
Yeah.
And then he kind of slacked off when he got a job.
Okay.
When he got a job, he met this guy. I thought he was cool at first, but then the guy started wanting to chill with him on the weekends.
And so it just started affecting everything. So he stopped paying bills, he stopped doing stuff in the house like he needed to.
He stopped cooking as much. He stopped being romantic. He stopped, like, we used to have TV nights.
Yeah.
You know, what happened to TV night? All of a sudden you wanna go hang out with your friend. Then when I started talking about it, then he said, "Well, his wife is coming along too." Did the communication stop as well? Yes.
Okay.
Them smellograms stopped.
Everything.
All that came to a halt.
And that's when things changed for you, okay?
Yes, it did.
And he came home with a new cell phone at one point, my producer told me?
Yes, let me tell you about the phone. He said he lost his phone. For a while he wouldn't let me go into that phone. He said, "I'm just trying to learn this phone, you know, so stay out of it 'cause you might put something in there like a tracker or something." So, you know.
Who gonna be nervous of you putting a tracker in? Like, unless you doing something.
He was. One particular day, he was in the kitchen cooking, the phone kept ringing and ringing and he act like he didn't hear it. I said, "You want me to get it?" He ran to the phone. But I beat him to it. I grabbed it. So I picked it up. It was a number I wasn't familiar with. And I answered. It was a girl. And I said, well, who are you? And she was saying, as she was getting ready to say who she was, he snatched the phone from me, tackled me. Get off the phone. It's somebody else's number. This used to be another person's number.
So Mike, I gotta ask you, what do you have to say about what Kimberly just said? Wow.
Wow.
Wow?
Wow.
Wow.
That's your answer?
Yeah, wow.
Let's go there, let's go there.
You know, Karamo, especially about the part about the cooking part and the poison. I ain't got no insurance on you yet. So why would I poison you?
Not yet.
Why would I poison you? Wait a minute, hold on, hold on.
Why would I poison her?
Think about it.
I got a question for you. 'Cause I asked her the same question. How do you go from writing love letters to her accusing you of cheating and trying to poison you. What do you think went wrong in your opinion?
Insecurity.
You think she's insecure?
Insecure.
Okay.
Because you know, the love letters, the love letters, you know, when I had time before I got my job, you know, I sit back because I think about her, I miss her. You know, I got busy, I'm tired. I'm over 60.
I'm over 60. That don't mean you gotta stop writing telegrams.
Hold on, you had your chance.
You ain't gotta stop writing a smirking letter.
Wait a minute, hold on, you had your chance. You had your chance. You're right. But the only thing I'm saying is this. I'm 60 plus and I work from sunup to sundown.
That's too many excuses.
The bills got paid.
Yeah, they did.
Because I make sure that Kimberly don't want for nothing.
So I respect that. I respect you cooking for her and I respect you providing for her. But that is separate from her accusations of saying that there's women who called, that she picked up the phone and that, I see your body language already, it shifted. What you about to say?
Because listen, I had, you know, I go to casinos. You know, I picked up that habit. You know, I mean, I be hitting.
You addicted to it, huh? Are you addicted to the casinos? Yeah. Does it turn you into a crazy man?
No, you know, jackpot come, I do my jackpot dance.
So lemme tell y'all something really quickly I just noticed before you even go on with this. So when you're strong in your conviction, you have something, you go into straight facts. When I asked you about these other women who called, Your body shifted, you started laughing, you went into a whole 'nother story that had nothing to do with my question.
I'm coming back again.
When he called, when he called, she said she picked up the phone. Wait, who are these women?
I'm going to tell you right now.
Okay, okay.
You know, when I was in the casino, you know, I lost my phone. I went and bought another phone.
Yes, okay.
And it's a 216, come from Cleveland.
Okay.
So when you buy that new number, You get people calling your phone.
Hold on, let me ask my audience. I'm gonna take a quick poll. Audience, I wanna ask y'all, how many of y'all, raise your hand if you think he telling the truth.

It's only one hand. It don't make a difference. It's one. It don't make a difference.
All you need is one.
Look, the scale go this way.
Okay.
Because I'm gonna tell you, my right hand to God, I told her like this, as long as I'm with her, I would never put my hand on her. I don't do that.
Yes, you should not as a man ever put your hand on a woman. But I thought you were gonna say, as God's my witness, I told her I would never talk to another woman Yeah. You didn't say that.
That's what he should have said.

That's for you, Michael.
That's for you. Oh, but you know what?
I'm not gonna lie to you. Listen, I'm a man. I can understand, but like, you know, you weren't giving me direct answers. And so at first I was thinking about those smellograms, but apparently I was chasing in the wrong scent because the person I should've been looking at was right here. You're actually the one that's not only engaging in relationships with other men, but you're talking—
He got multiple phones.
He gonna give you the empty phone.
But where do he go when he go for 5 days?
Wait a minute, hold on.
He be gone.
My phone is my phone.
He be out of town.

But I'm gonna tell you something. Listen, listen to me, listen to me. See, I love you. It don't make a difference, the shit that you done, you understand? You need to get right, you know, for real, because we got too much going on right now.
Kimberly, are you ready to leave this relationship?
Yeah, answer that.
If you can't act right.
I can't act right.
Y'all see one side of him.
Michael, so what's your decision and choice? What are you gonna do?
Y'all ain't perfect.
Are you staying in this?
I got too much going on with her. And you know—
You've only been together a year. How you got too much going on? It's been a year.
A year?
Listen, I'm gonna say this to you. If you stay in this relationship, it's gonna be the biggest gamble yet. So—
Do what you wanna do.
Hey.
You wanna work on this?
Is it time to go?
I'm willing to work on it.
Thank you.
Well, there's your answer.
Good night. There's your answer. This is the end of this.
Well, what answer you thought he was gonna give?
It was in the making. I mean, I ain't gonna do this.
Listen, I appreciate him for betting on himself right now because at the end of the day, again, we got nothing from him. What we saw was what you were doing.
I know.
And we talked about earlier, yes, you look young, but this attitude that you got is really immature. So you gotta grow up with that.
You know what I mean? Okay, well, maybe this is what we need to do.
Yeah, I wish you the best of luck though, sincerely. I wish you the best of luck. Yeah, everyone stay with us, friends. We'll be right back with more.
All right.
