Unlock The Phone: Over 100K Interactions 👀 📱| KARAMO

Okay, so what's making you suspect your boyfriend is hooking up with your best friend?

Well, so they started hanging out a lot more without me. And then they would go on lunch dates without me. I've seen messages, they say, "I love you," in there. I mean, I would understand if it was me telling her, "I love you," but you, absolutely not.

Okay then, I guess I could see how that could be weird, but yeah, I understand. How did they react when you confronted them?

Actually, I never confronted them. That's why I'm here today on the show to grab him, to tell him.

Got it. So how long have you and Dawson been together?

We've been together for about a year and 6 months altogether.

A year and 6 months. Yes. Got it. And what has it been like in that year and 6 months?

At the beginning, it was truly amazing. We were always on trips. We did a lot of stuff together.

Oh, y'all look adorable.

Yes.

Traveled a lot of the world together and it was just amazing. And then it started to go downhill. So we had a hurricane in Louisiana. We had our first apartment and then the hurricane took it. We started living together within 4 months after we were together and then the hurricane came. So we ended up having to move out 'cause they kicked everybody out of our apartment complex and told us like, hey look, It's damaged.

4 months together and they started moving in together?

Yes.

How old are you?

I'm 18.

18 years old. Yes.

Okay. But I got emancipated.

Got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I understand that. But I was more so thinking about being so young and making the commitment to move in with somebody. Right. You know? Okay. So I just wanna know, has he ever cheated on you before? Yes. He has cheated on you? Yeah. What happened?

Has it been physically? No, not that I know of, that I know of. But like, I'll go through his phone while he's sleeping and they'll have messages with other guys in there. He'll send pictures to other guys. If you wanna be with me, why are you doing that?

Let's hear what Dawson's side of this story. Everyone, welcome Dawson to the show. Hey Dawson.

Hi.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Welcome to the show. So take a seat for me. So I gotta ask you point blank, Are you hooking up with his female best friend?

No, I am not hooking up with his female best friend. Yes, we are really close, but I've been trying to have this conversation with you for about 4 months now and you always just neglect it. You push me away.

No, I didn't.

That is what you do.

No, no, because you always want to get there and argue about it and then we never get a resolution. So we need to get a resolution here and that's why we're here today, get a resolution.

Okay.

Do you all always argue when he tries to bring up this?

Yes, normally he'll start, he'll get angry with me. He does not wanna talk about the situation.

Do you get angry?

Yes, absolutely, 'cause that's my best friend. So, and then you don't wanna, like you barely wanna talk about it. He says he wanna talk about it, but we're here now, he won't stop talking.

So you're not really angry, you're hurt.

I'm hurt. I'm hurt and angry. I am, I'm both.

Okay. You're both?

Yes, absolutely.

Okay. Have you ever exchanged inappropriate messages with his best friend?

No, I did not. Just more of, but you get the I love you to my best friend.

I mean, I—

It's a best friend. She's there. She's there all the time.

But that's not your best friend. You're telling her I love you.

Dawson, how do you identify? I just wanna be clear on this.

I am gay, but it, from, I could be bi. I'll say I'm bi. Yeah, I'll identify as bi.

I mean, that's very important to establish because you look at these two people in a couple and you're just like, oh, these two gay guys, this is never happening. But if he identifies as bi, then, there's a possibility of this. Okay, Colby, did you know that Dawson identified as bi?

No, I thought he was 100% gay.

Oh, so you never had that conversation? Right.

We never, it was never brought up.

Dawson, why didn't you bring that up to him?

I feel, more of my standpoint, I rely a lot more on feelings. I personally feel it doesn't matter if a person's bi, gay, straight, or anything. If you truly love that person, you truly wanna be with that person, then that's what it is. Like, nothing matters of a label.

Okay, so you told my producers you almost had sex with his best friend. What did you mean by that?

Oh.

There was definitely a night.

Kobe, I saw your face. You didn't know that.

No, I did not.

There was definitely a night that we kind of got a little close, but it was always, it was never, it was never something that would've started 'cause we just both recognized what was going on and it was kind of like, no. That's not at all what I want. 'Cause I do want to be with Kobe at the end of the day.

[Speaker] Okay, so I think I'm ready to unlock both of y'all phones. Y'all ready? [Speaker:AUDIENCE] Yeah. [Speaker] All right, when it came to Dawson's phone, we checked apps, we checked photos, I checked texts, I checked phone numbers and calls and just overall the message on the phone. When it came to apps, Dawson, you have matched and communicated with 130 people on one dating app in the last 40 days. When it came to photos, you received and saved 11 sexually explicit photos. Thank you so much. And the reason this one was interesting and why we brought this one to attention is because this photo was sent And it was sent on Christmas because in the photo, he sent this photo and used the icon Merry Christmas to send it to someone else.

Wow. Really?

Really?

It's over Christmas time.

Christmas, the day of Christmas. This is a nude photo that you sent and then put Merry Christmas on it. And this is what you're doing. We were together on this day and you sent a nude picture.

So you sent a nude photo during Christmas to someone else.

Wow.

Okay, well we're not done yet. When it comes to text messages, there were actually no text messages found between Dawson and your best friend. But when we checked the rest of the phone, there were 235 interactions between Dawson and your best friend on Snapchat that I couldn't find because it was deleted. Wow. So it was a mixture of photos and messages.

But you did, I told you, I knew I caught you deleting stuff. You were doing a lot more than what you're saying.

But honestly, I'm doing all these things recently because I'm getting fed up of you treating me how you treat me. You had a conversation with me recently that you would sleep with someone else and I was like kind of just, okay, well I need to move on then if you're gonna do it.

Oh, you said that? Did you say that?

I did.

Was it trying to be spiteful or did you mean it?

It's very spiteful. I despised you in some point because of what you did. And let's talk about—

What about the photo though? 'Cause you sent that on Christmas and that's like specific to send a nude to somebody and then hashtag it Merry Christmas with the thing is a pretty clear sign of like, I know what I'm doing here.

Yeah.

Do you wanna explain that to him?

Honestly, that day I'm pretty sure If I could remember, we did get in a huge argument.

So that's why you did that?

Yeah, 'cause we got in an argument. Is that what you're gonna do every time we're in an argument?

Honestly, that would be truly like, that would spite you.

Why would it spite, why?

Because you treat me like I am nobody. You could talk to anybody, you talk to these people and I feel like I have to look better. I feel like I have to be nicer this way. You'll not wanna talk to me sometimes. So I feel like, what's my problem?

[Speaker] So Dawson, because I don't want you to fall fully on the sword 'cause we still don't know what's in his phone. So what do you think that we'll find in Colby's phone? Do you think anything at all? He's told you right now that he's, you've told me right now that he's made threats to you that he's gonna go sleep with somebody else.

[Speaker] I definitely think there's something.

[Speaker] You think there's something in his phone? Colby, is there anything you think we're gonna find in this phone?

[Speaker] Mm.

[Speaker] We went through your phone, Colby, and we unlocked apps. Photos and we went through your phone in general as well. Colby, when it came to your phone on apps, you as well have matched and communicated with 170 people on one dating app over the past 3 years. One of those years you two were together, so there is that. Now when it came to photos, Colby, you saved only one explicit photo from someone else. Now the biggest thing that was a big eye-opener for me is Colby, in the past 52 days, You had 216,417 interactions with the same man, all romantic in nature.

Exactly, exactly what I thought. But—

So do you wanna talk about that?

Yes, absolutely.

216,000. Do you see that number right there?

216,000. Exactly.

And they were all romantic in nature.

I specifically told you who that was and you could tell me who that was.

So did he tell you that he was talking to somebody else?

He told me he was talking with someone else, but he never told me that's the said friend. That is the said friend.

Oh, that's the friend that's sleeping on the couch? Yep. Is he really sleeping on the couch? Yeah. Have you had sex or intercourse with the other person? Remember, I just went through your phone.

We talked about it, but I have like never, like I've never been able to do it because I was stuck on him.

Still in love with him.

Right, I'm still in love with Dawson and I mean, I could have these conversations these conversations, but they didn't mean anything to me at all.

That's a lot of energy to put in someone else. 216 to say that it doesn't mean anything else. This other guy you were talking to, his emotions are fully involved in you. He is fully attached and you know that. So it's kind of hard for you now to say, well, I'm doing it in spite because that means you're playing with people's emotions.

Right.

You know what I mean? And that's not okay.

Right.

I gotta tell you, The truth of this matter is, is that you two are young, sweet men who are trying to figure yourselves out and should be having the freedom to explore the world. You should be having the freedom to do what you need to do to find out who you are, to sleep with who you want to without these boundaries and expectations that neither of you actually wanna hold up to. Because you over here texting and sexting photos and doing stuff, you over here in a whole full over relationship. You a full-on relationship. Okay, I was reading these messages like, this ain't his boyfriend. And so, both, neither of y'all wanna be in this right now. I think what has happened is because unfortunately, and this is where we gotta get real, because of the trauma that you experienced and because of the rejection you experienced, this is the person who said, I see you and I accept you. And so you're holding onto that because you're afraid at such a young age of more people rejecting you or of losing more people?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, I do feel that. I feel that. But I do love him.

I know you love him. So I think the first thing we need to do is establish, even if y'all are not in a relationship, is he family for you?

Yeah.

Will you always be there for him?

Always, yeah. Let him know. Anything that you need, and you know this, I'll have your back through anything.

You're gonna have to start to figure out how to trust that. And it's gonna take time, but I promise you at this young age, if you can start to practice trusting that people won't leave me and people won't reject me, and I understand what you've been through, so it's gonna be difficult. But the more you can practice that is the more you're not going to get into relationships that aren't healthy and stay in them just because you don't want them to leave. He's not gonna leave, this is family. He's gonna be there for you. I'm gonna tell y'all something, the beauty of sort of LGBT relationships is that we don't have the same definitions or the same, we don't process the same sometimes as straight relationships. My first boyfriend is still to this day my best friend. We call, we talk, he's like a brother to me now. You don't have to fear that you're gonna lose him. But what I will tell you is that fear is bringing up a very negative side of you where you're then saying things to him that are hurtful. And sometimes people who have been rejected, they start to test people to see if they're gonna, I can push them away and say things to see if they're gonna stay. And that's a personality flaw and you've gotta fix that now at 18. Can you apologize to him?

I'm sorry, Dawson, and you know I love you a lot. I will be the first to admit I'll tell you stuff and I don't mean it and it's out of like a lot of stuff, but the way it comes off to you, it probably does seem like I mean it and I'm very sorry and I don't, like, I'll work on everything.

Can you receive that?

Yes.

Yeah. And can y'all break up officially? Go ahead and do it here. That's gonna be a happy ending for me.

Love you.

Love you. But it gotta end.

It gotta end.

Amen. Thank you. Listen, on this show, sometimes we be like, hug to stay together. But sometimes hugging and going apart is gonna be the healthiest for y'all. Now that y'all broken up, y'all are next door neighbors. Y'all are friends.

Okay?

I love y'all. Y'all gonna be okay together. All right? Everyone, thank you for being with us. Come back next time, friends, so we can We're gonna keep talking and growing. I love you all.
