My Baby Daddy Is A Lazy Deadbeat! | KARAMO

Why has it taken so long for this DNA test?

Because I know 100% that he is the dad.

Amen.

She said, "I know." She said, "I know what I know." I was on and off with him for 7 years, so yes, we had our issues, but we were together and that's all that mattered to me. I didn't have time for nobody else.

Okay, so you said on and off. Were you ever unfaithful to him?

No.

Okay, good job.

And we also lived together too, so how was I cheating on you with somebody else?

Were you talking to an ex?

No.

Never?

Absolutely not. I have kids with another guy, And they're my oldest kids and he just, I guess he's insecure about himself, so.

Tell me about the day he asked you to take the DNA test.

We had gotten into it earlier that day and he had took off and left and I had called him. I'd been like, where are you at? You have a son here, why are you not here helping with him? And he was like, well, I'm not gonna sit there and come back because he's not my son. And I said, what the fuck, he's not your son? Yes, he is. I know for damn sure he is.

Yeah. And how long were y'all into this? Like into your relationship when he said this?

About 6 and a half years.

So, and your son was how old at that time?

He was 2.

So he's 2 years in, you're 6 years into a relationship, 2 years into your son being alive, and that's when he decides to say, that's not mine.

Which made absolutely no sense to me because we done birthday parties together. We were co-parenting with the other dad. We were hanging out, going out places and everything. And he had been in jail for a little bit. And when he was in jail, I was down there trying to get him out. I was down there trying to make sure that he had what he needed when he got out, 'cause he did.

You were holding him down.

Yeah.

So you said you have other children. How many other children?

I have 3 other children.

3 other children. And that's with the same ex that you said he's insecure about?

2 is with another baby daddy, and then he has one. I have 3 baby daddies. I'm not ashamed of that.

Why should you? Okay. Listen, as long as you're being a great parent and there's healthy co-parenting, good for it.

I just think that it's time for him to step up. Step up. And I had family that told me to write into the show, so that's just what I did.

Aw, thanks for the family. I appreciate it. So you said he disappeared. Where did he go?

He said that he was gonna move away 2 hours away with his mom. And then he wound up getting another girl while he was there, and that girl's child was more important.

Wow, okay. How long was it before you saw him again?

3 to 4 months.

3 to 4 months.

Because he was too busy trying to play daddy to somebody else's kid.

And does he think that he and Liam look alike?

He said that they do not look like, that Liam resembles my other kids too much.

Liam's adorable, aw.

Aw.

All right, so do other people tell him Liam's not his?

His family says that he's not his, and whenever they get it into his head, then he's, And then he tells me that he's not his.

But the family could only pick that up if he's saying that.

Right.

Okay, so that's where that's coming from. And who is Beck?

Becka is his new girlfriend.

Becka is his new, okay, Becka's the new girlfriend, okay. And that's the one you're saying that he's playing, he's playing dad with?

No, she has no kids.

No kids, okay. So, but he just, he has a new girlfriend.

Yes.

And he spends all his time with Becka?

Mm-hmm.

Okay then. How involved is he if he doesn't think he's the child's father?

I mean, he video chats him every night, but he don't ever see him in person. I'm the one taking him to school, I'm the one feeding him his meals, I'm the one making sure that he has everything that he needs for school. He don't help me with nothing. He don't even pay his child support.

Okay. So you need a lot more support when it comes to Liam to do better?

Absolutely. I need him to step up and be a dad and start paying what he needs to do.

I hear that, I hear that, I hear that.

You told me about Becca, who is his current girlfriend, correct?

Mm-hmm.

What is your relationship like?

I don't really have an issue with her other than her putting her two cents into what is said about my son.

Got it, okay. The reason I asked that is because Ricky's girlfriend Becca is actually here today and she said she was adamant with our show, right? She was adamant with the show. She said she wanted to come here 'cause she had something to say. So everyone, can we meet Becca and hear her side of the story?

Okay, so for one, all the crap that you're saying about me—

Okay, let me just tell you this. You've only been in his life for 2 months. I don't care how long I've been here.

I don't care how long I've been here.

You don't know the situation that we went through. You don't know what the hell he put me through about our child. No, I do not, but I didn't know enough. You're only believing what he says.

I see what you put him through though. You pay him out to be some type of monster. I've heard plenty of bad things about you. 3 baby daddies, you had the last one while you were back and forth.

I mean, I guess I just got good game then, I mean.

If you wanna brag about it, brag about it. But, you talk about how you're such a good mother.

But you're only saying that you've only heard about me. Have you actually gotten a chance to get to know me? Do you actually know?

How can I get to know you if you moved 2 hours away and took the kid away?

To make a better life for myself and my kids.

And that's fine, but you can't expect him to just drop everything and be able to go there with no actual way to do that.

If he was actually in his life, Maybe I wouldn't have moved 2 hours away.

Do you like the way that Emma talks about Ricky?

No, he is trying, he is stepping up. He's calling every night to talk to Liam. Sometimes we forget and she'll get mad about that if we forget and don't call. She'll call and go off on us. If you don't wanna talk to him, then just don't call us anymore.

Mm-hmm.

Sometimes stuff happens.

How has Ricky been good to her?

Well, I know I've heard from multiple people and like I said, it is hearsay, so I don't know. There's A, B, and C sides. And I've heard that he would ride his bike, 'cause he didn't have a car, ride his bike here, there, and everywhere in the rain, in whatever weather, just to get her stuff that she wanted, take care of her. She would go out and do things that she wanted to do and he would stay home with the kids. Or if she wanted to work, instead of letting him work, she'd have him quit the job and then he would go stay home with the kids and take care of all the kids.

But do you realize I was the only one working while he just sat on his ass at home and played video games?

Well, he told me that you're the one that wanted him to stay home because you didn't want him working.

Because he wouldn't hold a job. I was the one working, making the money, paying the bills, buying him food. I was the one supplying everything for him.

He didn't do a damn thing. From your opinion, is he a good father?

From what I've seen so far, yeah, he is trying his best and yes, I think that he would be a good father. It would be a lot better if they were closer.

And hold on, I gotta make sure, you've been dating him just for 2 months?

Going on 3 months, yeah.

Okay. Well, there's somebody in this story that we need to meet, and his name is Ricky. So Ricky, come on out here so we can hear your side of the story. I'm gonna have Ricky sit in the middle of y'all. Yeah, I'm gonna have Ricky sit in the middle of y'all. Hey Ricky, how you doing?

I'm doing good.

Nice to meet you.

So you really sat there saying that he's not yours? Do you not see the resemblance in y'all's ears? Y'all's foreheads? Like, look at the pictures.

First off, why would it take you so long to get a DNA test?

Because I know that he is yours.

But I don't.

I shouldn't have to prove to you something, and then if you don't, then you have something wrong with you.

Why do you think that Liam isn't yours? What happened?

Because I was locked up back in 2018, off and on. I was a bad guy at that point. And I got locked up, she was sleeping around with her ex, apparently cleaning a fish tank.

That's when we heard about the sleep around with the ex and his current girlfriend in the trailer.

Got it.

And it was all going on then. I'll go over here and help them out and then found out it was other things going on.

And that's around the time Liam was conceived. And I'm trying to figure out.

And so you think Liam looks like her ex with that story?

Yes.

Got it. And when was the last time you saw your potential son?

4 months ago.

4 months ago. And you only FaceTime with Liam?

No, since he was made.

So absolutely not.

You live 2 hours away.

I get that, but I did it better for the kids. And if it was an issue for moving away, I had actually called you and been like, "Hey, I'm much happier in my relationship now, I'm gonna move away." And you sat there and said that it was okay, that you had no problem with me moving away.

You're not gonna listen to him anyway.

Did you say you were okay with her moving?

She was gonna move anyways.

But did you say, did you give her your blessing?

I did.

Did you agree that when she moved away that you would still be there to support?

And if I was cheating on you so much, like these rumors and hearsay that you believe, Why the hell was I at the courthouse trying to get your ass out?

Why did I go and buy you new clothes? How am I supposed to know that you're at the courthouse if I'm locked up?

I was at your court hearing. You said you needed new clothes because your dumb ass jumped in the river and ran from the cops.

Do you feel like you're being the best father you can be?

I try to be.

You try to be. Okay then. You don't help because you don't believe he's yours, is that what it is?

Then I guess that's the best father that you ain't doing shit right now.

Okay.

Have you paid a dime outta your child support? Have you paid a dime out of that?

No, because I don't have no money.

You just filed child support, you just filed for child support. But you still need to pay something. And he's trying to get a job now because of that. You need to pay something, you need to start helping with Liam.

I'll put it this way, if this DNA test comes back that he is mine, I will start paying.

Okay, we'll see about that, 'cause I highly doubt it.

I think it's time to get the DNA truth. Emma, are you ready for this?

Yes.

All right, come with me.

All right.

This is your truth to open, not mine.

And I know that he is yours, Ricky, so I know 100% in this envelope it's gonna say that he is your son.

And for you to sit there and deny that he is not yours is fucked up and you need to grow the hell up and start stepping up and taking care of your son.

He is working on growing up. He is working on stepping up.

Girl, you are irrelevant. Like, stay the hell out of this. I'm here to stay.

I'm here to stay. I'm here to help you.

You've only been in his life 2 months.

You don't know him.

You don't know the results, so just shut up. Shut the hell up and just sit there and be quiet.

Irrelevant.

Like, I don't understand how you can sit there and act like you know so much about me when you've only been with this man for 2 months, now I've been told for 7 years.

I said I know what I've been told, and I go off what I see.

Yeah, hearsay, right?

You only believe what everybody else says, you don't—

I don't believe them, I go off what I see, and right now you're being a bitch-ass baby mama talking shit about him.

And you're being a bitch defending somebody that don't wanna step up and be a bitch. And I'm gonna defend him if I see him actually trying.

That's how it is. Take it or leave it.

Well, keep on because you're about to see the real colors out of him where he's lazy and don't wanna do shit.

It's okay.

Maybe the better woman he'll find, like, do I have to step up and do something?

What better choice? So if you want a peaceful life, the next time the person who's potentially the mother of your child and the woman you're dating, you need to say, hey, let me step in because these two women shouldn't be arguing. So go ahead and do what you gotta do and then we'll talk some more.

He is your son! I told you.

How do you feel?

I'm so sorry.

Do you see this? Now you gonna sit there and apologize for every time you wanted to deny him? He is your son, look at that baby. He is yours.

Mm-hmm.

Like I said, I'll start paying. I'll take full responsibility.

That's all we want, we just wanted clarification. He wanted clarification, there's nothing wrong with that.

I told you for years, even when you were asking me that he was yours, and you wanna sit there and say he wasn't. And that hurts so bad.

Here you go, love. Do you wanna give her an apology for those times?

I'm sorry for everything that I put you through.

Like, I loved you. I had no reason to cheat on you and you did this shit to me. You denied that you were George and now I have proof that you George. Everybody knew, my mom knew. Everybody knew that he was George. There's no denying that baby. And you need to apologize to him because there were so many times where you were even sitting there to tell him that you were not his dad.

I will, I will. Whenever you get the—

Now can I please give you a hug because that would make me feel better.

Okay. So this is the thing. I know this is hitting you too because I can tell right now you're in a moment of growth. I can see that some things have been happening in your life. You've been going through some hardships and you're a young man and I understand that right now, probably you feel probably overwhelmed by all this.

Very.

I can tell, I can tell. I will tell you this. The first thing and tip I gave you and I kind of said it before is that you have to make sure these two women never argue again, okay? It is your job. This is the woman you're in love with now and she deserves to be respected. She deserves to have peace. And the woman who is the mother of your child also deserves to have peace. And the way they're gonna have that is making sure that you do not ever say anything negative about her to her and vice versa. You need to make sure that when you're communicating about anything, there's full transparency so she never has to doubt. And you also make sure that you're telling everyone everything that's going on so that everyone is in the loop. Because at this point, y'all are getting serious. Whether it's been 2 months or not, I can't judge that. But since she is involved, you need to make sure that she's involved in everything. You brought her in, she gotta stay in now, okay? I'm telling you this as advice so that you can keep the peace because that Liam deserves peace. That child deserves to be in a house where everyone's not screaming, where people are able to talk and communicate and be full of love. And that is your job. And I say that man to man, father to father.

Everybody that got into your head and sat there and made you believe too that he was not yours, you need to call them and be like, he is my son. He is mine.

And I will.

Now I'm gonna tell you this. If you can keep that peace, you have two women who have already displayed that they are willing to support you, which is a blessing. But you don't deserve that support if you do not give them their peace and honest communication.

And it's not even about all three of us. It's about Liam and getting what he needs to get.

You got it.

It should only be about him.

I wish you all the best of luck. All right.
