My Mom & Sister Judge Me For Rumors About My Sexual Past! | KARAMO

You're really mad because they like me. I'm not mad at them. You insecure about yourself. Who insecure? Mercedes, you insecure. I look good. I do too. I look good. That's why I get everybody I want. No, no, no.

So Mercedes, I gotta ask you, bring that photo back up. Which one are you in this photo?

I'm the devil 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, 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. 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, okay, 16. And you feel like your mother started 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.

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

Oh.

And yes, and the reason she—

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

Yes, and that's not true.

Okay.

I would never.

Yeah.

So this, it's about 3 guys and it's like I'll start texting them. Like we'll start off texting and stuff and then I invite them over to the house. They come over to the house and they see Alexis. So they'll tell me like, how you know her? And I'm like, how you know her?

Yeah.

You know?

And he'll be like, oh, some people say that they slept with her. Some people say that they was talking. But it's 3 guys that I know for sure that's trying to talk to me and they already slept with my sister.

Got it. So you're saying you had no idea that these men had talked to your sister?

No.

And they didn't either. The boys, I give them that, they didn't either. But once they did found out, it was on, they still tried to talk to me. They still tried. But I deaded it.

I don't do that.

Yeah, you deaded it. Yes.

Yes. Yeah, yeah.

Do you have a relationship with your sister?

Yeah.

Yeah. 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.

Oh, 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. 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, say, "Do you know your sister?" Well, listen, it's two boys. It's two boys that was texting me. That was texting me. Alexis, Alexis, we is here to talk. Hello, how you doing? What you saying is lies. Like, you can 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, um, part about kind of true about the man's part, baby, they was mad and you stand up. Alexis, do you hear yourself? Do you hear yourself? You knew that though. You knew that though. Girl, I knew that. You got mad because them wanted me. That's the problem. They never gave that. They never gave that. Be honest. Never gave that.

Be honest.

Oh my daughter, y'all mad because they— Be honest. Y'all mad because when they had came to the house, they had stopped talking to you once in my face. Your ass got mad. Your ass broke the next in the room. Thought that was going to do something. That's why I really got mad. No. Yes, it was.

Yes, it was.

Yes, it was. Baby, this is funny to me. This is funny to me.

It definitely is to me too.

Lexi, this is the thing, because I hear y'all arguing about men who have no significance in y'all's lives.

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. 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.

Tyce.

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. Let me tell you why I don't believe you. She don't believe some over her blood. I'm gonna tell you why. The same that tried to get in my kids. The same man that you was sleeping with, the 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 his ass. That's why I got kicked out. An old ass man, it's this. Serious? We take the messages, bro. This is what I'm talking about. That's why I don't like her. I don't like her. We take the messages. I don't like her, bro. Her ass is over. Your ass mad because you was talking to my— It was really like that. It really went like that. It really went like that. It really went like that. It really went like that. That's how we really— I broke up for real. I'm like, who, man? You just heard me. Let's 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, you actually look good. I look good. I do too. I look good. That's why I want. No, no, no. Let's talk about it. Insecure? Bitch, you wish. You is. You said it out your mouth before.

So you know what? So what we need—

Oh, what? I was insecure?

You know what I need?

Because my mama kept calling me fat?

I need mom. Yeah, I need mom right now.

She started all this, let's put it like that.

You was talking to her.

Hold on.

And once we count down, that's how many you really talk. I was talking, she trying to say I was talking to her. So what I want to say is, bro, do y'all bring out Shamika Jones?

Bring out her.

Ooh. I don't wanna fix nothing.

I'm done.

I don't wanna fix nothing with them.

I don't wanna talk.

So y' all don't want to talk?

I want to talk.

Thank you. Nice to meet you. So the reason I bought you. No, no, hold on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I've had time to hear both of y' all scream. And so the thing is, is that I allowed that for a second because in your screaming, I was hearing truth, and I heard about things that don't even matter. Hold on, hold on. You wrote this show. And I literally read your story myself and brought you here. So if you trust me, Then allow yourself to take a moment, take a deep breath. I know you feel triggered, I know you feel hurt, I know you feel triggered, I know you feel hurt, but right now your mother's involved. So we're gonna get some answers about what's going on right now. So I wanna ask you right now, so I clearly see that this is how the relationship has been for a long time. And I wanna know from your point of view why you think this relationship's been like this.

I feel like it's like that 'cause they both just alike, to be honest. They both hardheaded, they both disrespectful. As you can see, all this cursing in each other face. They used to be okay. When they got in high school, everything went left. She's insecure, she's out. Literally, you are insecure, so don't sit up there and act like you're not, because you are. You are insecure.

No, I'm not. You are insecure. 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? You don't feel like you beautiful? Yes, I do. Your voice, why you talking to me? 'Cause you said, that don't even make sense coming out your mouth. You insecure, you said this is me. I was insecure when I was 14 years old because you kept telling me I was fat.

'Cause I kept telling you you was fat?

Yes, so you gonna lie? You were calling me big. Oh, okay. Wrong, wrong. I'm sorry, your ass was fat then, okay? No, I wasn't, I look at the, when I look back, when I look back at the pictures when I was in 4th grade, when I was 14, I wasn't even big. 'Cause I think it was a man that said it. Change the subject, next. Well, I gotta say something. Y'all don't make sense.

We don't?

No, especially you, mother.

Well, 'cause I said—

So what's the problem, daughter? 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!

This is random ass, calm down. This is a man that's older.

You understand?

I swear to God. So the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna ask you two ladies, go backstage. I'm gonna have y'all come back out in 5 minutes. Iman, come on. Thank you for being here.

Thank you.

So there was one claim that I do need to understand. Your daughter said that she feels like you think that she slept with a friend of yours who's older. Yes. Tell me about this.

What is this?

So I was dealing with this older guy and I don't think she slept with him because I have receipts in a phone that her sister Alexis brought to me. I was laying in my bed and she's like, "Ma, look at this." So she brings me the phone, I'm looking at the phone. He's rubbing her hand, she's asking him for money. But you're 16, right? And I always shielded you, I always protected you. I told you if a man ever come to you and you feel disrespected any kind of way, you know? Because 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. So I'm telling her, I say, "What is this?" She like, "Oh, that ain't nothing." What do you mean it's nothing? This man is sitting up here holding your hand, you telling him don't touch you like that. Then you turn around asking him for money and you telling all this to your best friend. The conversation is like 2 days, you know? 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 right from wrong in everything, but they're still children. And the person who was wrong in that story was that older man. 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 for this. She's 16 and I just did some quick math. You were 16 when you had her?

Alexis.

16.

Yes.

Okay.

And so being a teen parent, you know, I was a teen parent. My son from when I was 15. You did the best you could.

Yes.

And you have worked it out.

Yes.

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. And make her not, what the conversation should have been is, "I'm so glad your sister told me so I could protect you." I understand. Don't I understand what you've done for them? Especially being a teen mother.

Yeah.

But I'm trying to help you understand that even in that moment right there.

She still needed me.

And she needed the language to change.

Yes.

Because the language is still continuing right here.

Yes, it is.

And so she's crying. The other daughter's crying. And what's gonna happen is that sooner or later you're gonna lose both of your daughters.

Yeah, I feel like that now though. I know where it come from. We always did everything together. I would never do nothing without my daughters, you understand? They are my best friends, 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 to baseline. I let them bicker to see to see if mom was gonna come out here and shut it down or continue it. And you started to shut it down. I was like, okay, good, this is sister. But then you started going into it and all of a sudden it seemed like there was 3 sisters on stage and not a mother and 2 daughters.

It gets like that with us.

But it shouldn't.

And it shouldn't.

Because you are the mother.

Yes.

So when they're slinging insults, insults can't come outta your mouth.

Exactly.

This is a long journey y'all gotta go on. But the first step is you as mom apologizing for the way you talked about them, for the language you used. Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

Can we bring 'em both back out? We talked about it. Your mom does not believe you slept with this man.

So why would you say that?

No, she said slept and that's why I tried to correct y'all. But when y'all two start, I can't get in the midst of it then I turn out, all three of us are.

Why would you think that? Hold on, don't, don't.

Do you know I felt weird with [MASKED]. I couldn't tell you, Mom, because you always yell. And I didn't know if you was gonna take it the wrong way, so I didn't tell you. But I felt weird.

We all did. Don't, don't even.

Look at me.

I'm your mother, you're my daughter. And I wanna start off by saying that I love you first. 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. And I don't wanna take it no more further. I don't wanna prolong this conversation. Or nothing, I just wanna apologize for talking to you disrespectful and not being in your life these past 2 years. That's it. And I love you.

Can I get a hug?

I love you too.

I'm so glad you're here.

I've been missing you so much. Hello. You wanna talk? We can. Can you turn and look at me? Tie your hands too. Can you come close? 'Cause I feel like you far apart. We've been apart long enough. I wanna apologize to you. I wanna apologize for cursing at you, being disrespectful, you know? Look at me. And I want you to know that I love you and I love my grandbaby. And you know there's nothing I wouldn't do for y'all. Nothing. I just want our attitude to change. I want to be able to talk to you. I don't want you to be upset because if I'm trying, you need to try.

Lexi, what is it that you want from your mom? What do you need from your mom?

What do you want, mommy?

No, I'm mad because me and my sister always gotta go house to house, bro. We can't never stay with her. And that hurt, that break our bond for real. All 3 of us, why we not so close?

Got it.

And I always wanna be close with my sister.

You want security.

Like every time we argue, I always call her and I talk to her and we tell each other we sorry. Lexi, how you wanna be close to her?

Listen to me when you don't even listen to me.

I don't listen to you because—

You don't listen to me.

You don't believe me.

You believe strangers over me and I have nothing to lie about. Hey, listen, pull on something.

There you go.

We both don't be believing each other.

Like, don't raise y'all voice over me. Just talk to each other, please.

And that is my fault because I be letting other people get in my ear about my sister.

Yeah.

And I need to stop that.

Did you hear what she just said?

Yeah.

Good. Listen, what y'all are doing today is, and I told your mama this, this is just first steps. I need y'all to walk off this stage being able to hear each other because there is love there. Your mother loves you. She understands that the language she's been using has been wrong. She also understands that y'all need to be with her. She understands.

Can y'all come closer to me?

We've been apart long enough.

Y'all can—

Hopefully we can get this together. Get up and hug each other and tell each other y'all love each other and y'all forgive each other. It's okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, you too. Hopefully we could live with you 'cause we don't like living with other people.

Mom, is there any way that all y'all can live in the same house?

Yes, we can.

There is a way. There is a way.

It is a way. I just don't want the disrespect. I don't wanna— go through arguing. You know, we all ladies.

I get it, I get it, I understand.

A lot of ladies and queens in one house, it's a lot.

You want peace.

I just want respect. I work.

It's gonna be them. What you've done now is I've shown you now and given you tools for you to have that peace. As long as you at peace and you're running this, there's gonna be peace. And this is just the beginning. But I believe all of y'all are about to start hearing each other and getting there. Do you want to get there?

Yes.

You want to get there?

Yes, I do.

You want to get there?

Yes.

That willingness is all it takes. And now you can head on this journey of love. You took the first step. Since you reached out to me, girl, you got me now. All right?

Thank you.

All right? I wish y'all the best of luck. And I want y'all to remember, don't yell at each other, 'cause when y'all do, no one can hear each other and y'all need to hear each other.

Okay? Thank you so much. Mm-hmm.
