A United States mother-of-three, Vatima, has shared why she remained in a relationship with her boyfriend, Justin, despite his repeated infidelities involving at least 15 women.
Her story unfolded on The Karamo Show, a talk show hosted by Karamo Brown, known for his role as a life coach on Queer Eye.
During the interview in Stamford, Connecticut, Vatima disclosed that Justin had been unfaithful to her throughout their six-year relationship, including while she was pregnant with their two children.
Despite his continuous betrayals, she insisted on staying because of their family.
Vatima reached out to The Karamo Show after noticing a sudden change in Justin’s behavior, he had expressed a newfound desire for marriage, which made her suspicious.
“I’ve probably chased and confronted about 10 to 15 h**s throughout the six years,” she admitted, as the audience erupted in loud boos.
She continued, explaining her reasoning for staying, “We have two beautiful kids together, we’ve got three kids altogether, I am a family person. So this is literally our last stop because he was cheating on me while I was pregnant. That’s the worst! We tried to talk about it, he said he’d changed. He wants to go towards marriage but no…”
As she spoke, the camera cut to Justin backstage, where he remained expressionless.
“There’s two h**s for every year, literally. I mean literally!” Vatima added.
She recounted how they met on Facebook six years ago when Justin replied to a post she made about Valentine’s Day. Their conversation quickly moved to private messages, and their connection escalated.
Vatima admitted there were signs of “love bombing” early on, and before long, they moved in together. However, things took a turn when she became pregnant.
“I got pregnant, and everything went downhill,” she said tearfully.
According to Vatima, Justin’s attitude changed, he became verbally abusive, calling her derogatory names like “bch,” “fat,” “st,” and “bad built,” even while she was carrying their child.
The crowd jeered as she described the emotional toll of his behavior and how she uncovered his infidelity.
She recounted one instance of finding incriminating messages on his phone, where he was planning to meet another woman. However, when confronted, he denied responsibility, blaming his cousin for sending the texts.
“I know for a fact he had sex with someone else,” Vatima continued. “I saw the text message exchanges, they were talking about naming the baby.”
She also discovered explicit videos of Justin and another woman in a motel.
“He thought he deleted them, but I went to the trash [folder]… that’s where I saw all the sexual videos,” she revealed.
Karamo then invited Justin onstage to share his perspective.
Justin admitted that their relationship moved too quickly and that, at the time, he had just been released from prison, which made it difficult for him to trust women.
“I got out of jail with an agenda… It wasn’t even against her [Vatima], it just was against any woman out there,” he confessed.
Despite everything, Justin acknowledged that Vatima was a good woman who deserved better than what he had given her.
“She’s a great woman,” he said. “She deserves more than I can give her. I want to be able to give her more than I can.”
He admitted to multiple instances of cheating but struggled to recall how many.
“At the beginning, she used me as eye candy… she didn’t even know me,” he claimed.
His cynical take on love further fueled the audience’s reaction.
“Love is just two people feeling sorry for each other,” he said, before adding that he would never want his two daughters to endure what Vatima had gone through.
In a shocking revelation, Karamo exposed that Justin was still messaging other women.
Producers uncovered 91 hidden messages, including a conversation with a woman regarding a DNA test for her child. They also revealed that Justin had recently spent four days at a Hilton hotel.
Vatima admitted the situation had taken a toll on her mental health, leaving her feeling depressed and struggling to get out of bed.
By the end of the show, she agreed to cut ties with Justin and focus on healing herself.
