Karamo ROASTS Mom for Kicking Out Teen Daughter! | Karamo Reacts | KARAMO

Karamo mediates between an 18-year-old who's been kicked out repeatedly and her mother Nina, who calls her disrespectful and sleazy. The daughter hasn't heard "I love you" since childhood and has slept on the streets. Karamo pushes back on Nina's punitive approach and the double standards around how she dresses.

I gotta ask first, what does your mom mean when she says you try to break into the house? Oh, you know what? You put this one up, I was gonna tell you. Y'all should let people know that she was 18, just turned 18. 'Cause I know some of the people was like, she too grown for this. And I'm like, she just turned 18 2 weeks ago. She was 17 when all this shit was going on.
Yeah, she called the cops on me or whatever.
How many times has she called the cops on you?
Way too many times.
And it's all for trying to come into the house after curfew?
Yeah, well, Most of the time, but sometimes I don't, like.
Okay. All right, how old are you? 18?
Yes.
So did she let you back in?
No.
She's just a little baby. She had just turned 18, by the way, when we shot this. So all this stuff that we're talking about is, think about this, 'cause this is context and this is key. Even though she's 18, she was 17 years old, 16 years old, 15 when most of this stuff was happening. This is just 2 weeks ago. She's a teenager, 17. So all this stuff she's talking about, I want you to remember yourself at 15, 16, 17. Imagine someone kicking you out, you have to live on the street. When you hear 18, you'll quickly be like, oh, she's grown, she can take care of herself. She just turned 18. Imagine having the cops called on you at 17, 16, because you wanna get back in your house, your childhood home, but because you came home late for your curfew, Your mother would rather see you stay in jail? That's crazy. She didn't let you back in?
No, and that's when I tried to break in and I was banging on the window and it was just like, I don't know, I couldn't get back in. And so she called the cops and I ran from them and then I hid. And then I, you know, she was on the phone with me while the cops was at the house and she was telling me to come back and come grab my stuff. And I was like, no, I'm not coming back because I'm thinking like it's a setup. Set up, like she gonna try to get me locked up, you know?
So I'm like, "No, I'm not coming back." So you think your mother would actually try to set you up to like get you locked up when she, 'cause it sounded like she was saying to come back.
If she calls the cops on me, yeah, I'm pretty sure, like, you know?
So where did you end up staying that night?
Outside.
Outside, okay. I'm gonna hear your mother's side of the story as well. So is this just for missing curfew or there's other behaviors?
There's other behaviors.
Well, at least she was honest about it. See, she's honest, she's telling you what she did.
Disrespect, not listening.
But— Okay, disrespect. Now, 'cause I wanna hear from your own mouth. What do you think? Why do you think your mother did it?
And I can take accountability of my actions and mistakes for myself.
Come on. I love a generation that can take accountability. 'Cause that generation before can't. Let's be real, okay? No shit. That generation before, girl, they don't like to take accountability, okay? I'm Gen X, and that generation that came right before us, girl, they don't wanna take no accountability, okay? When you would get kicked outta the house, you would still go to school?
Not all the time. I would miss school most of the time because I had to worry about where I'm gonna shower, where I'm gonna sleep, you know, stuff like that. And I didn't really have clothes.
Yeah, so you had, you—
It was embarrassing to the point where I just stopped going to school.
Look at that. Again, context, 16-year-old, clothes are dirty. I don't wanna go to school 'cause I'm embarrassed. I feel alone. It's so easy to be like, she grown, look, she got tattoos, she's fat. No, none of that. Don't do it. Don't do it. She's still a child. I heard you got into an argument last night with your mother. What happened?
So basically I went to the liquor store, I grabbed something to drink.
Were you grabbing liquor? Yes. Or just like a, you grabbed like some liquor? Yeah. Okay.
And so she got upset because they didn't ID me or whatever. Like she literally left out the store. She left me. We is in a whole different state. Why are you leaving? Why would you leave me? Like that's not right at all.
You think your mother likes you?
No.
You think your mother loves you? When was the last time you heard your mother say I love you?
Probably like, Before I turned a teenager.
Hold on. I'm 17 years old, just turned 18, and I ask, when was the last time my mom said she loves me? And she says before I turned a teenager. That's heartbreaking. Please welcome Nina to the show so we can hear her side of the story. Yeah, so how do you feel about just what was just said?
She lying.
She lying. Yeah. And the parents always come outta, she lying. Okay.
I'm lying about what?
Damn near everything.
Tell me, what?
You try to act like a little angel when you really a little witch. I wanna call you a bitch, but.
I love that she's like, I wanna call you a bitch. You just called her a bitch.
You know?
So you think she's a witch?
Yeah.
Okay. Are you worried about her whereabouts when she goes out?
No, I don't, 'cause she doesn't care that I care.
She doesn't care that I care.
But you are overprotective. I don't understand. You were a teen once too, so why is it why?
But I was nothing like you though.
Okay, but I'm my own person. I'm my own person.
Okay, and I understand you're your own person. You know what I'm saying?
I don't have to be like you just because you weren't like that.
But the thing that I want is respect from you, okay? I need you to open up more.
So you don't feel like she lets you into what's going on in her life?
She doesn't, and I don't understand why. She knows that I'm very understanding. I don't snap, just have an attitude, just throw up. To have it, you know? But it's just like, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Well, why would I tell you anything if you don't like me? You always tell me you don't like me. I do. You hate me and a lot of stuff that you do.
Can you imagine your mother coming in every day saying, I don't like you? I'm going to respect you then? Why would I respect you? You don't like me. And that whole thing of parents saying, I mean, I don't like you, but I love you— stop saying that. That ain't cute. That is not giving the message you think it's giving to your kids. It is not giving the message. Nobody is thinking, hearing that, and being like, oh, my mom doesn't like me, but she loves me. No, I hear you don't like me and you don't fuck with me, so I'm not going to fuck with you. That's all that I hear. Whatever you think love-wise, you think you're saying afterwards, I'm not hearing none of that because you've already told me the person I am, you don't like. And that's what it is. Because if I say I don't like those cookies, I'm not touching those cookies. I'm not looking at those cookies. I'm not trying to be around them cookies. That's what it is. I can't say, well, I don't like them cookies, but I love that they're here. No, bitch. Ain't nobody buying that. My producer tell me that they printed something here that they want me to read. Let me see. My producer's shady, girl. They will print something up for me to read. Well, I had to put on my readers. Ah, my readers! Yeah, look cute with them. Trey, come look at my readers on camera, girl. Trey, come here, girl. Come quick, come quick, come quick. Look at my first time, my readers on camera. They came cute, right? Look, they look cute, right? What is it? Oh girl, girl, we are in our 40s, girl. I'm over here rocking mine. I know, girl, we are in our 40s. We are 43. Life is crazy. Oh my gosh, girl, cuz I still feel 23. Ain't that a gag? But they look cute though. They look cute. You look cute too, my best friend. Oh my gosh, that's my first time having to read my readers on the show. "Where you at? You doing too much. How you mad 'cause I brought liquor with my money and you was AirTV drinking?" And then, "Mom, you said, 'Bitch, fuck, don't text me.'" And then you said, "Bro, Ian doing shit to you. You left me. What the fuck? I came out here to the store and you nowhere to be found. Yes, you walked back to the room." "What else am I to do?" Okay.
So why do you say to your daughter, "Bitch, fuck you?" Because for one, she is, and y'all ain't in my household to even know how she is, okay? For two, she have no right to even be trying to purchase alcohol.
I hear you, I hear you.
You know, it's attitude this, attitude that, disrespect this, disrespect that towards me when she don't get her way, you know? And I can't stand that.
Okay, so let me go back to the house stuff. So why not let her back in the house?
She dressed too sleazy for me.
Girl, I'm so over this mama. I can't tell you how much in my whole body right now I want to cuss out the same way I want to cuss out right when I was there.
Why can't I be comfortable wearing my own clothes?
Okay, but that's not jealousy. You came from me though. You came from me though. That's not jealousy. That's not jealousy, honey. You came from me. How am I to be jealous?
Exactly.
So why don't you make no sense with me? Why can't you tell me that a woman should be covered?
A woman should be covered, not dressing revealing or sleazy. We should cover ourselves.
Really?
Really. Really? Bitch, this bitch— I don't call you a bitch. Don't say that.
First of all, that whole antiquated idea that a woman should be covered up to show she's not sleazy, it's not about what the woman wears, it's about the male's reaction. It's so antiquated to say to a woman, oh, you can't dress a certain way. You look sleazy and all that. It's not the woman's concern about— she gets to wear what she wants to wear. It's about the men that make her feel unsafe and that cause this issue. So that's what the conversation needs to be about. And as her mother, she's saying like, embrace your style, love who you are. Like, that doesn't make you— I mean, come on now. I have been in some of the hoochie-est, daddy-est shorts. Don't mean that I'm about to be out here hoeing, okay? We don't get that same thing, right? No. For some reason, like, with girls, they say it, right? No, am I lying? It's that we just gotta change something. Everybody gotta change that idea. You say she's not old enough to drink, but you think she's old enough to sleep out on the streets? Get her together, girl. That's what I'm talking about. Ain't that some logic? She not old enough to drink, but you want her to sleep through the middle of the night on the streets? Ugh. She gets on my nerves, these parents, sometimes.
You'd rather rip and run the streets, okay? Be around doing this, doing that, selling this, selling that.
Selling what? Selling what? What are you trying to imply?
You know what.
What?
Drugs.
Girl. Mom, mom, mom, this is the thing right here, mom. Here we go, okay? And this is real and I'm gonna use your own thing. You want your daughter to let you in, but you keep kicking her out. And that's point blank. Hold on, let me hear me out. She came out here and the first thing she said, yes, I've been disrespectful. Yes, I don't listen. And yes, I have missed curfew. She admitted to all of that. She took her accountability. But on this stage as well, while she's admitted to that, you have told her that she is a witch, that she is sleazy, that she is, these are your words, she's bullshit, she's nonsense, I don't like her, I don't care about her whereabouts. We ain't even been on the show for 20 minutes yet and all this that came out your mouth. This is why I write shit down. And at the end of the day, this is a child that you put here.
Okay, but you don't act like child behavior though. If you gonna sit up here and act grown, then go out there and be grown then.
See that logic? That logic. Just 'cause you act grown, go be grown. Just because you acting grown, you go be grown. She's not grown. She is a child that was sleeping on the streets, that felt too dirty to go to school. And if your daughter ended up dead and the police came to your door, they're not gonna say, we found this adult woman. They're gonna say, we found your daughter. A child dead in the street? Let that sink in. Let that sink in for a second. Do you wanna meet her halfway and start to correct this behavior of how you talking to her? Allow her a chance to be a child. Believe that she could be a child that can grow. Model the proper behavior.
I'm willing to compromise and work through things if you're willing. You know, if you can't and you won't, then it's no need for us to be around each other.
Again, you can't even try. "Well, I want to, but if we can't do it, I don't need to be around you." Again, still just kicking her out. So I've opened the door for you to mend this relationship and I've asked you a couple times to walk through it. And unfortunately, I see it's gonna take you some more time to walk through this. Exactly, because— What I wanna offer to you right now is if you really want support in getting back into school and figuring out how to do these things, we gonna figure out how to help you get back there. Because we'll do it for you 'cause your mama don't wanna do it for you. Listen to what I'm saying. And then watch your own actions, okay? Because your daughter took a step on this stage and you did not. These people are telling you, okay? Okay. Yellow hat was cute back there with her little bangs. I know you frustrated, but it can't be this many strangers who don't know your life lying to you. We have tried to help you to see what could help you mend your family. Watch this back. But in the meantime, while you're figuring that out, we got your daughter, all right? Okay, we got your daughter. Ugh. Whew, girl. Oh, parents, y'all gotta get together. It is not the child's responsibility. I don't know how many times I have to say that. It's your responsibility to watch your language, to watch what you say, watch what you do. Ah, I'm just so tired of these parents with their teens acting so stupid. And I say this 'cause I'm a father. I've been through this, and I did not act this way. This way. I'm not judging you, but I'm telling you, you got to be better. You might not have known what to do, but now that you know, do better. Okay, all right, let's go pass her.
