In this YouTube short, Karamo confronts a guest who claims to use harsh insults like calling a friend a "fat bitch" as a form of "tough love." Karamo argues that love should never be expressed through disrespectful or harmful language. He shares his own 25‑year friendship with Trey as evidence that lasting relationships thrive on supportive, non‑judgmental communication. Karamo advises the guest to change how they speak to their friend—avoiding insults, negative comments about appearance, and any behavior that feels like throwing rocks—so the friendship can become healthier and more supportive.

When she do piss me off, I call her a fat bitch. I do.
I do. You said that I try to show her tough love. Yeah, I do. I don't know how many times I gotta tell people on this show that love should never be tough.
But it's being tough. Love should never be tough. No, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. It's being tough when you love somebody. When you don't get that tough love, it's gonna make people like her feel like, oh, she don't care. She really don't care.
I have a best friend named Trey that I talk about all the time on this show that I've had for 25 years. And the reason we've stuck around for 25 years is because we don't talk like that. There's not a point in me that I ever feel the need to wanna say something that could be disrespectful or harmful, even in playing moments. She's your friend and you love her and I get that, but you have to approach the way you're communicating with each other differently. And that goes from you insulting each other to you even commenting on her clothes. This could be a better friendship. She needs you to be her rock. I am her rock. She don't need you to throw rocks at her.
I am.
