My Dad Is Not Your Dad, We're Not Sisters! | KARAMO

She keeps on telling me that I'm not her sister, but she doesn't know. This situation wasn't my fault. I was adopted as a child.

Our father just died 31 days ago, and this—

and she wants me to get that DNA test. This really hurts me. I'm still grieving because me and him had this close bond. I went there to see him in the hospital before he died. I went there. I don't know what she's saying about me, but I know for myself I'm a good person. It pisses me off that she's questioning whether I'm her sister or not. I was there for him the day that he died. I was there in the hospital talking to him, praying with him, not her. She thinks that my mom is lying about him being my dad, but I'm gonna prove her wrong.

Everyone, Kiesha's here with me today. Welcome, Kiesha, to the show. Hi. Okay, so what do you feel? How do you feel about what she was saying?

She's full of it. Like, she's straight full of it. And she doesn't know if my daddy is her dad or not. I don't even think she knows who herself right now at this point.

So how did you find out she was saying that she was your sister?

One of my family members contacted me and said that she was running around saying that she was my sister. And then another family member came up to me and called me and told me that she ran up to them saying that she was my sister.

Got it. Did you ever ask your father about what she said?

Yes, I did. Me and my father had a couple of conversations about that, and my father told me that she was not his daughter. And I told my dad that he needed to get a DNA test, but my daddy passed away.

Got it, okay. Had you ever heard about her before?

I have heard, I just found out about her, what, last year? Not even.

Got it, and that was the first time?

Never heard about her before. Where you come from, poof, be gone. Please just be gone.

And what happened when y'all met?

When I met her, I looked at her and I told her, girl, there's no way that we are siblings. We don't even look alike. And I don't even feel it. Like with my other, my brother, I feel it. You know, I'm good with feelings. With her, I have no feeling, no nothing. Like even when I look at her, there's nothing there. It's just like, girl, be gone. Go find your dad because my dad is not your dad.

So, and I wanna bring this up. Gently, because I know your father just passed away 4 weeks ago.

Yes, he did.

So I'm sorry, I know you're still grieving that.

Thank you.

Have you had communication with her since your father's passing?

No, I have not.

Not at all?

None at all.

Yeah. So she was saying that she was with him in that video on his last days. Is that true?

No, I went to the hospital with my dad. When my dad passed away, I was flying in because the doctors and everybody kept calling me. The doctor came out, got me or whatever, and my dad, they still had my dad laying in the room waiting for me to get there. She wasn't there.

And you were close with your father growing up.

What was that like?

Very.

What was that relationship like?

Very. Me and my daddy had a very good relationship. We laughed, talked, vacations. I went to his house, little girlfriends and stuff that he had, I went by they house, everything.

Yeah. So that close relationship has been forever?

Yes.

Yeah. Oh, that's you and your father. That's a photo of y'all? Yes.

And that was at my mother's funeral 'cause my mother passed away September 4th. My dad passed away September 3rd.

What would you do if she is your sister?

If she is my sister, then I would have to accept the fact that she is my sister. But, you know, and I don't know. I just, I don't know.

And if she's not your sister?

She needs to go find her daddy.

Well, everyone, I want to hear what Quateeza has to say about this. Everyone, help me welcome Quateeza to the show. How you doing?

All right.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you. I don't know what you crying for. You ain't got no need to be crying.

Because I'm only going by what my mom said.

Well, I don't care what your mom said. My dad is not your daddy, so you don't need to come out here with all that fake stuff. And you talk about you was at the hospital and all that. Girl, where were you?

My mother called me and I went to the hospital.

When? Don't sit up there and lie. Come up on this TV show trying to act like you was doing something. Where was you when the cremation? Where was you when I sat there at the hospital? Where was you when I had to go down there to cremate him and pay for it? Where were you? Where were you when I went to go get the death certificate? Do you have it? No, I don't. No, because it ain't your dad.

So I gotta ask you, she's asking some valid questions. If you say that you were there, Where were you there? Where were you in those moments?

When my mom called me and said that he was in the hospital, I dropped everything and I went to the hospital.

You need to stop lying because like I'm telling you, I flew. The doctors called me, everybody was calling me for Daddy. That's why I had to come down here because I had say-so of what went on with my daddy. So don't you sit up here and lie and try to make it seem like you, you his child. Child and all this other stuff. Girl, you're not. Go find your daddy. I, all I— Go find your dad.

I'm just going by what my mother said.

Why do you think her father is your father?

That's what my mother told me.

Okay.

I was adopted, so when I got 18, I went looking for my mom. I found her and I asked her, who is my father? And that's when she said—

Well, you need to tell your mom to tell you the truth because my dad is not your dad.

So you've been searching for family your entire life?

Yes.

Mm-hmm. And when you found out that this man could potentially be your father, did you ever meet him? Did you have a relationship with him?

Yes, I did.

You met him?

And I really thought he was my father.

Yeah.

Because of what she said.

We didn't have no relationship.

How did you find your mother?

She's been up there lying.

Because there was a lady that where I was living at, she knew where she was.

She knew where your biological mother was?

Yes.

So she gave me the number and I called her and that's when I met her for the first time. And that's when I asked her these questions.

Yeah.

Well, sure seem like y'all don't have no type of relationship for it to be your mama and y'all supposed to have been meeting. I don't know what you got going on.

And my producer told me that you said that your biological mother got back with your father 3 years ago?

3 years ago. No. No.

Did you know about that?

My daddy may have came and hit it or something like that and left, but no, my daddy was not with your mama. They was not in no serious relationship. My daddy was not living with your mama, so stop lying. Stop lying.

So tell me, what did your mother say about that time they were together?

She said that he was the love of her life. That's what she told me.

And that's what I say I think it is, that your mama loved my daddy so much, or liked my daddy, that she wanted a child by my daddy, but you was not my daddy's child.

Wow. When did you meet him?

I met him in 2001.

Okay. And when did you find out about Kiesha?

He had told me about her when I first met him.

Did you try to reach out to her?

No, I didn't.

Why not?

Because I'm a shy person.

What did you want to happen today?

I want to get these results, and if I am, I want to have a relationship with her.

Okay, I understand that. I understand that. And you're open to that to some degree? Mm. Okay.

I don't know.

Got it. I understand. Got it. I understand. I understand. Listen everyone, it looks like we're getting a ping. Before the show, Kwateeza's mother Evelyn had something to say. So take a listen to this.

I met Arthur Harper when I was 17. I was young. And he was the love of my life. I got pregnant by him, and I had to give Katisa up for adoption because I was young at the time. We connected 3 years ago, and I was with him up until the day he died. He will always be the love of my life. And that is Quateeza's dad. He kept telling her he don't care what people say, but that's his child.

I know that there's a lot here, but I gotta tell you this. I saw when your mother started talking that, here you go, I saw a little girl that's been adopted and been through a lot. I saw that immediately when you heard your mother talking. This has been a journey for you.

It's very hard.

Yeah.

It's such pain.

I understand how you feel because you lost your father and then this person pops outta nowhere. What's going on in your mind right now?

All I ever wanted was just somebody to love me for me.

But you choose my dad.

So it's time for us to get to the truth. And in this envelope is a DNA truth if you two are actually sisters You asked for this DNA test, so I'm gonna have you open it so that you can see it.

I don't know if I wanna open it.

You don't know if you wanna open it? This is the truth and the clarity you've been waiting for. Here you go, love. You got this.

Keisha Cortez is your biological sister.

Kwateza, what's going on in your mind right now?

It is a relief.

Yeah.

It really is. I have to apologize to you. I'm gonna be a woman and apologize to you, and I apologize to you. I love you. I don't know what she's looking for because, you know, she has tried to reach out before. I don't know what you're looking for, but all I can do is just say we can just start day by day. That's right. Take it day by day.

Yes, we can.

As me being your sister, I don't know, am I the oldest? I don't know.

Yes, you're the oldest.

You're the big sister.

Yes, you are.

Do you have any other siblings?

Yes, but they're all younger than me.

Got it.

Just like that. I don't have a mom. I'm the only child, but my dad has another son.

Yeah, got it.

But from my mom and my dad, I'm the only child.

And at least now from here, y'all can connect. And I tell you something, I know you had your brother, but it sounds like you never had a sister. And it sounds like there was not real siblings and real connection in her life. There's something about this bond that could be really beautiful.

That's all I ever wanted was a big sister. And I got what I wanted.

Now I understand, 'cause this is a special moment. I need to tell you as well, this is gonna take some time. Yes, it is. It's gonna be a process. So in those moments where you feel like I want the relationship to grow, go faster, just know love sometimes is slower, okay? So just take your time and just know that as long as y'all can keep communicating, as long as, like I say at the end of every show, as long as y'all can keep talking, y'all will grow together, okay? So good luck to y'all, all right?

Thank you, Karamo. You're welcome, you're welcome.

I wish y'all the best of luck, seriously. I wish you the best of luck. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you.

I wish you the best of luck as well. Good luck, good luck. You can give your sister a hug, one more hug. Yeah. Want more unlocked phones, DNA reveals, and family drama? Then make sure you're subscribed to the Karamo Show YouTube.
