My Mom and Sister GANG UP on Me! | Karamo Reacts | KARAMO

Which one are you in this photo?

I'm the devil.

The mama put them in devil and angel costumes from the beginning.

Right there. And my sister the angel. And basically that's been the dynamic, like not our whole entire life, but once we got older, like high school, like ages 14 to 18.

I know this is how y'all be at home watching the show, so I'm watching like this too, bro. We get a little snap. Watch the Karamo show. I'ma be cute.

It most definitely, the roles was like that. Like I was just a bad child and Alexis was considered like, I guess, a good child or whatever. And the reason I say that is because like my mama said out her own mouth, she only hear bad things about me.

Oh, your mother said that?

But if you ask me, outta all my mama's 4 kids, 'cause we had 2 little brothers too, outta all her 4 kids, I'm the one child that got the most achievements.

Oh, tell 'em. Tell 'em. Talk your shit. Okay, talk your shit. I got my 4 sisters. I'm the only one. My siblings. Okay, talk your shit, girl.

The most accomplishments.

Yeah.

Got a full ride to college and all of that. Congratulations.

Oh, give it up.

Thank you.

Yes. So I gotta ask you though. So at what age did you start feeling like everybody saw you as the devil?

16.

16. 16. Okay, 16. And you feel like your mother starts seeing you that way as well at 16?

Yeah.

Okay. So why do you believe that Lexi is sleeping with guys you've dated? Because you also said that as well. Oh, I couldn't imagine.

It's actually she believes I've been sleeping with guys she dated.

Oh.

And yes, and the reason is—

So Lexi believes the guy she's talking to that you end up sleeping with them?

Yes.

Okay. Do you want a relationship with your sister?

Yeah.

Yeah. She want a relationship. Poor baby. Well, we heard what Mercedes has to say. I think it's time to meet Lexi and hear her side of the story. So everyone please welcome Lexi to the show. Don't walk out there stank like that, girl. What's she doing? Get it together.

Ah, you know you're a liar, Mercedes. You're a liar, you're a liar, you're a liar. Half of that shit you said was a lie. First of all, they was my mans first.

Not my mans, they were my mans. They were my mans first. My mans. Mines.

Your ass sent the pictures. They was my mans first, but they were never mine. They were never mine. You sent them a picture of me saying, do you know your sister?

Why would I send that?

And they say yeah. It's your boys. It's your boys that was texting me. Alexis.

Girl, what y'all fighting over, girl?

Alexis, we is here to talk. Hello, how you doing? What you saying is lies.

Karamo's always tripping me out when people come in there arguing and they be like, hey, how you doing? Girl. Girl, calm your ass down and sit down.

Girl, have you—

Hey Karamo, how you doing? Girl, calm your ass down. What y'all be doing?

See how you act? Like, come on now. What I'm saying is not half of that shit that you said was kind of true. But the part about you— Kind of true? About the men's part, baby, they was mad and you standing up in front of them. Alexis, do you hear yourself? You got to understand. They wasn't my way. They wasn't my shit though. I don't give a fuck.

By the way, they, they're out here arguing about boys that don't matter.

Gonna do something. That's why I really got mad.

No.

Yes, it was.

Yes, it was.

Yes, baby. This is funny to me. This is funny to me. It definitely is to me too.

How I fit cute though? Little black on black and with a little white. Because I hear y'all arguing about men who have no significance. Thank you.

Men that I don't want to have a fun time with. She's talking about men that she don't want, but she keep on saying they was mad first.

Bitch, they will never rhyme.

Mercedes, we're not gonna go because we're not gonna go down that pattern again. When people be arguing about men, it really ain't about the men. It's about broken trust. It's about self-esteem. It's about a lack of transparency. That's what people are really saying. And again, you both have just admitted that these are men that have no concern in y'all's lives. I understand there's a principle here that you're trying to debate, but that you're debating that principle the wrong way. Tight. That's really what it is. It's not about the men. So look, you're feeling as if your sister doesn't believe you.

That's what this is.

Yes, she's not trying to listen to me at all.

I'm gonna tell you why I don't believe you.

She don't believe some over her blood.

I'm gonna tell you why.

Come on now.

The same that tried to get him back in. The same men that you was sleeping with, them same, them same person my mom was talking to, your ass was talking to him.

Let me show y'all something. Let me show y'all something.

The same my mom was talking to, your ass was talking to. That's why you got kicked out. Old ass men.

She said that, huh? She talking to the same man her mom was talking to? Oh yeah, this sound like something her mama done said that she repeating. You heard what she just said? Why would you say that about your own sister?

It wasn't like that. It really wasn't like that. No, it did. Yes, it did. That's how we really broke up, for real. I'm like, who? Me and you. You just heard that shit on live. You want to talk about me and you now? Yeah. Which one is it?

Me and you.

Which one is it?

Me and you.

You're really mad because they like me. I'm not mad. You insecure about yourself. Who insecure? Mercedes, yes, you are. I look good. I do too.

Not my pillow, girl. My pillow always got to get a problem, girl. People like throwing my little pillow.

I could, that's why I get that body I want.

No, no, no, no.

Let's talk about it, goofy ass. Insecure, bitch, you wish. You is. You said that yourself before.

So you know what? So what we need.

Oh, what?

I was insecure?

So what I need is what?

My mama kept calling me fat. That bitch is your mama, man.

I need mom. Yeah, I need mom right now. I need mom. So by the way, who I'm talking to is my producer over there. They're like, what do you wanna do? And I'm like, get the mother out here, get her from the backstage, get her over here. So what I want is—

Girl, do y'all wanna hear this shit?

Girl, do y'all wanna hear this shit? I hear it, girl.

Bring out Shamika Jones. Bring out her.

Ooh. I don't wanna fight. I don't wanna fight. Okay, Mom, please come out here and be a mother figure. Step in. Tell us. Come on, be neutral and help them hear each other and see each other. Come on, Mom. Great.

I feel like it's like that because they both just alike.

Okay, great. Okay.

They both hard-headed. They both disrespectful, as you can see all this cursing and stuff.

Okay, we're kind of going away.

They used to be okay.

Okay.

When they got in high school, everything went left.

Okay, context.

She's insecure. She's out. Literally, you are insecure, so don't sit up there and act like you're not.

Now you sound like your sister.

You are insecure. No, I'm not.

You are insecure. I was. You got this on and you don't know it, and you don't think you beautiful? Why you don't feel like you beautiful inside?

Oh, I think I'm beautiful. Why she think she giving a compliment while calling somebody insecure?

You don't feel like you beautiful inside? Yes, I do. Don't lower your voice while you talking to me. Okay, 'cause you said, that don't even make sense coming out your mouth. You insecure, you said insecure to me. I was insecure when I was 14 years old because you kept telling me I was fat.

Pause.

Let me tell y'all something. If you wanna tell somebody that they're insecure or might have low self-esteem or might have low self-worth, the tone of your voice is super important. This is a lesson for everyone. If I come to you and I say, You know what, you insecure as hell. Versus, you know what, I think you're insecure. Those two things are going to be received a different way. So, understand when you talk about somebody's self-worth, your tone is super important. Because this mother thinks she's giving her some good like advice and trying to help her out. But your tone is just attacking me and telling me that's who I am versus saying, I've identified this and let's figure out how to help you grow through this. Play. Thank you.

You were calling me big.

Oh.

Right, right.

I'm sorry your ass was fat then. No, I wasn't.

I'mma fight her ass for you, girl. Not, not I'm sorry your ass was fat then.

Change the subject, next.

Not change the subject. Oh girl, what's wrong with these mamas, girl?

The problem is, okay, like Alexis said, what man of yours I was sleeping with? She said I was sleeping with at the age of 14.

Okay, let me—

14! 14!

It's a random ass, calm down.

Why would you want her to calm down? You told your 14-year-old daughter that she was sleeping with a grown man. I'm gonna ask you two ladies, go backstage. I'm gonna have y'all come back out in 5 minutes. She said she don't wanna walk with her sister, girl. She said, "No, I'm not walking with her." Okay. Girl, y'all gonna meet backstage. It ain't that big. So I don't know why you didn't go the same way.

I don't trust men like that. I trust men, but to a certain extent, as far as I can see your ass. And this man, I had to bring her father in there because I thought it went somewhere else. You know what I'm saying? 'Cause I was gonna get him locked. I called the police, I made a report, I did everything.

How do y'all say the word P-O-L-I-C-E? Do y'all say police or police? Police. You say police. You say police. I mean, it's from the South, 'cause I say police. I'm from the South. Popo. Maybe that's a Southern thing. We on the East Coast right now, everybody. Five-O? Where did that term Five-O come from? Do we know? I'd be so— I got ADHD out there. Look, you see how I could just switch from a topic? Squirrel. I'm over it. I don't know what I be talking about.

So all this time, instead of you being my little daughter, you was being a fast little daughter instead of telling me what was going on. 'Cause as you can see, 16, 16, you know right from wrong at the age of 16. So that was wrong. Why you didn't come to me and tell me that this man was rubbing your head?

Let me correct one thing. At 16, as parents, we assume our children know right from wrong. Tell her, girl. But they're still children. Girl. And the person who was wrong in that story was that old ass man. Older man.

Yes.

And you did everything you're supposed to do as a mom. Let me tell you something. You did, 'cause I wanna make sure I heard it. You did everything you need to do. But the problem where you messed up is by blaming her. And the reason being, and hear me out. Hear me out, girl. Let him talk. And I just did some quick math. You were 16 when you had her?

Alexis.

16?

Yes. Okay.

And so— I don't know where we're going, but I feel like we're cooking somewhere. You know, I was a teen parent. My son from when I was 15. You did the best you could. Yes, you did. Cook, cook, girl, tell us something. But that little 16-year-old girl, she doesn't know. She's trying to figure it out. She's probably thinking in her mind like, "Well, if I'm just nice, I can get some." All these things that probably could be going on, hormones, everything.

Yeah.

It doesn't make her behavior correct. But by calling her out her name, only is going to isolate her. Isolate, good. Now we cooking. What the conversation should have been is, I'm so glad your sister told me so I could protect you. Good, okay.

Whew.

What, they got her in a boiler room? What room is that backstage? What room was that? What room was that? My wardrobe. Really? Oh. I'm trying to help you understand that even in that moment right there.

She still needed me.

And she need the language to change.

Yes.

Because the language is still continuing right here.

Yes.

Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes. She's calm now. She's listening. She listening. We're calm. We calm. She's a very pretty woman. Okay, we're nodding our heads.

I know where it come from. We always did everything together. I would never do nothing without my daughters. You understand?

Okay, look, we got the emotion now. I appreciate it.

You know, and I just need them to understand that I really just want the best for them.

But you know they're following your lead in this bickering because I did one thing. I let them bicker, and again, I need the baselines. I let them bicker to see if mom was gonna come out here and shut it down or continue. I did. And you started to shut down. I was like, okay, great.

Okay, right.

I was like, it's cool. But then you started going. Then you started acting a fool, a donkey fool. And also it seemed like there was 3 sisters on stage, not a mother and 2 daughters. And that's what it feel like at home too.

It is like that with us.

I know.

And it shouldn't.

Because you are the mother.

Yes.

So when they're spitting insults, insults can come outta your mouth.

Exactly.

This is a long journey I gotta go on. But the first step is you as mom apologizing for the way you talked about them, for the language you used. She received it, I appreciate that. Come on, mama, okay. Mama's a good mom. She's misguided, but she's a good mom.

Look at me. I'm your mother, you're my daughter, and I want to start off by saying that I love you first.

Oh, amo, that means love in Spanish. Amo. And they were showing love. Y'all saw in the back ADHD again. Squirrel. I'm the worst. How they gave me a hosting job? My mind be like this.

And I am so sorry that I hurt you. I am so sorry. That I put you out at an early age and I didn't protect you the way that I do protect you, you know? And I want you to know that there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you and you know this. And I miss you just as well as you miss me. But you know, the foul language, the hollering at each other, the disrespect, we gotta stop this. Not just me, we both gotta stop. Including your sister too. We both gotta stop. We gotta learn to talk to each other.

Gotta stop.

I don't want to take it no more further. I don't want to prolong this conversation or nothing. I just want to apologize for talking to you disrespectful and not being in your life these past 2 years. That's it. And I love you.

This was a good first step for them to be healing. That's all I got to say. Good first step for them to be healing. Good first step for them to be understanding what the other person needs. Is this family going Is she going to be healed after this? Not completely. But at least what I respect about this young woman, the red Mercedes, is that she called, she wrote the show. She literally wrote the show. And I check emails. I check them. I read them. And for her to come here and to come on the show and trust me enough to at least let her be heard was beautiful. They took a big first step. And I'm happy for them.
