Tracy, how are you beautiful?
- Good, thank you, how are you?
- Mwah, nice meeting you.
She thinks her partner McKinley may be cheating on her.
So Tracy contacted me
to see if I could help her learn
if McKinley's being unfaithful.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much for coming in.
- I need your help. - Tell me about
the relationship. - Okay.
Me and McKinley we met
about two years ago. You know, amazing man.
He's in the industry. I'm in corporate.
- In the industry?
- He's in the music industry.
- Oh, he's in the music... - Yes.
- Is he an artist?
- He's a artist. He's a rapper.
You know, he writes. - Okay.
- He's very talented.
- How did you fall in love with this man?
- Well, it was so cute. Okay, so I was helping
a friend. He sells like these famous pies.
- Mmm. - So we was working
the festival. So I sold him some pies.
And then he came back.
- Now, we know he ain't eating that much pie.
- So I was, like, all right. I felt that connection.
We took off from there... yeah. - Nice.
- We were inseparable and... I moved in fast.
We were happy, I'm talking about the painted picture.
Christmas tree, the fireplace going in the morning, breakfast.
The vibe was good. So I know there was
a point in time that he was happy,
and we were picture perfect.
- So before him, were there any other relationships?
- All my situations were long term.
- Oh, so you're a relationship girl.
- I am. - You had both your parents
in the household? - I did.
- And they're still together. - Yeah.
My parents are very cultural. I'm Nigerian.
- Uh-huh. - You know, my family
is really close-knit. - That's how Nigerians are.
- We pride ourselves on morals, values, family, and education.
- Yes, absolutely. - That's the Bible for us.
I feel like my family is really one of the biggest things
in my life that kinda guides me even with my relationship.
- Yes. - You know, I have to be certain
that this is the man I wanna be with
before I introduce him to my parents.
- So you haven't introduced McKinley to your parents?
- I haven't. - But...
He hasn't actually said...
he wanted to be married. - He has.
- Oh, he has. - Yeah.
- And what qualities did he have that made you feel
like this the one, child? - Well, let me say.
He, you know, took care of me.
There was never really a "no" with McKinley.
He was focused on me.
- I love that. And when did the wining
and dining shift into
I don't really know what's going on in our relationship?
- You know, I've started to see
DMs and text messages and late night phone calls.
When I call you don't answer.
Then I gotta call you ten times.
- Mm-hmm. - Then I gotta come find you.
- So you've actually rolled up? - Yes.
- And what did you find when you rolled up?
- I don't know who's who or who to slap.
Everybody's in order when I get there.
- Right, right. - But I can't sleep.
I'm tossing and turning. - Mm-hmm.
- Because I wasn't able to get what I was looking for.
- What you were looking for... okay.
- So... - You really haven't
presented anything that should make you feel suspicious.
- My intuition is telling me that I need to check something.
- I'ma tell you, Tracy in all honesty
your intuition is not enough for me
to go start tracking this man.
- I just wanna know, like...
Am I wasting my time?
- You wanna settle down with him.
- I do. - You wanna start
a family with him?
What's that, baby?
- It's my... That was my two.
I was having twins and, um, I had complications.
Things didn't work out but...
- You have a picture?
- I carry it with me everywhere because I feel like
it gives me strength, you know? It kind of reminds me
why I'm still... why I'm still in this.
- Oh, my God, girl. - Maybe wasn't
the right time, right? So I'm still healing from it.
- Gotta put myself on pause here.
Whoo. Okay.
Seeing that reminds me
of my three miscarriages.
And seeing you have that photo, I get it.
I understand why you have it and why you want to
continue to try to have a family with this person.
- He's a good man. Like, he was--
He is good, like, he was there, you know?
(bleep) happens... right?
And you work through it.
- Mm-hmm. - And I feel like we were
working through it.
And then something got in the way.
So I need to know what that is.
- Okay. So you just, you just...
had me cross over.
I am going to get my private investigator on this case.
If I find anything
I'll give you call.
And the only thing that I ask of you
is that you don't do anything different.
That you flow exactly the same when you're around him, okay?

(Tami) Welcome back to "Caught in the Act",
the show where we catch cheaters in the act.
Suspicious lover Tracy thinks her partner McKinley
is stepping out on her.
What will she do when she learns the truth?
Okay. Here we go.
Now, you know who that is, that's McKinley
coming out of his place.
We found out that young lady is Kayci.
Do you recognize the other woman?
- I've seen her around.
I thought that she was just one of the many people
that he works with.
(Tami) This particular day,
they went to the strip club.
Public displays of affection.
- That's disgusting.
- Typically you don't do that
with someone you're not involved with.
- I thought that he was a better man than this.
- They're stepping out.
They end up at the jewelry store.
And I'm gonna be quiet because I actually want you
to hear what's being said.
- Where did you guys meet? - L.A.
- At a video shoot. I was working...
- Yeah, she was one of the dancers for the video.
- She was working. - Yeah, she was
on the video shoot. - Twerker.
Now I'm gonna be his "wifer."
(laughing)
- Really?
- Um...
now they're ring shopping.
- Here you go.
- Oh, man.
- (crying) - Come here, baby.
Come here.
- (sniffling)
I feel so betrayed.
I knew something was wrong,
but I didn't think that it was wrong
to this level, to this capacity.
- And it's hard to see.
- This was hard for me to watch.
- It's the highest form in disrespect
that he can-- he can pay to you. - Yes.
- Engagement ring shopping with another woman.
Men, we always approach a woman
from the place that we think that we're the strongest.
Your first encounter, you were selling pies.
He came and bought out all the pies correct?
- Yeah. - He led with a grand gesture.
- Right. - Right?
Because he thinks
that's some sort of love language
that you respond to.
So he knows what to feed you
to get you
and what to feed you
to keep you.
And listen, just like
he's misrepresented things to you,
he could've done the same thing to her.
- The truth of the matter is
she could technically be the number one
and you could potentially be the number two.
- I highly doubt that.
Me and McKinley have been together
for a very long time.
- You gotta be able to take a step back.
Love is about respect, which we don't see there.
Love is about truth, which we don't see there.
- Mm-hmm. - That is not healthy love.
And you have to be honest enough to say,
is this person willing or even capable
to give you what I'm looking for?
- What you looking for?
- Well, I need to know then.
And I'm ready to ask him that question.
- And now the next phase of it
is going to confront him.
You do have the option to ambush them
and take them down.
Or you could team up with Kayci
and you guys can go together and confront him.
What's it gonna be?
- I do want to team up and go together.
I'm woman enough to have a conversation.
That I can-- I can say that I would do.
I mean, I like what she has to say.
She may not like what I have to say.
- Since you are actually willing to sit down with Kayci,
we figure out a time and place that you two
can have a conversation, first.
- Okay. - And then once we have
a location where McKinley is at,
we can roll up with him.
Maybe you and Kayci can do it together.
- Okay. - All right?
- I could do that. - You promise?
- I can. - Okay.
I will reach out to you in the next couple days.
- Okay. - Make sure you stay ready.
- Thank you. - I'm sorry.
- Thank you very much, Kevin, for the information.

you were stepping out, we put a PI on you,
and they surveilled you

She said you guys have been together for four years.

She was a dancer on my video with Young Dolph on a dance.
- Okay. - I was with somebody then.
- Okay, four years ago. - And stayed with them
up until (bleep) two years ago.
- Okay, and that's when you got with Tracy?
- So, listen. Hold on!
I'm trying to answer one question at a time.
So after I was done with that, I got with Tracy.
Then me and Tracy fell out and had our issues

We ain't gonna get no (bleep) answers

All right, have a seat, McKinley.
Let me talk to you.
Kayci, do me a favor,
give me a minute to speak with McKinley in private.
What's happening? What is your relationship with her?
What's your relationship with Tracy?
- What Kayci gives me is a sense of me being normal.
I can go out with her, she can pull up to the club.
Tracy is very, very, very (bleep) hard.
- Hard in what way? - You know, when I'm smoking
a blunt in the club, Kayci like,
"pass that (bleep) to me and my girls."
Tracy, she like this, "Man, get that (bleep) away from me!"
All the homies be looking at me like, get your little
prudish-ass girlfriend away from us, dog.
- So that's what it is.
- That education that she got.
- Yes, she's very well educated.
- Has her with this sense of entitlement
that drives me up the (bleep) wall.
Because when she used to get on my (bleep) nerves
and beat me down about (bleep) that wouldn't even matter
because all your bills paid...
- That's not what it's all about, though.
"You should accept what I'm doing because all your
bills paid, I buy you this, I buy you whatever you want."
That's a form of manipulation and control,
you have to acknowledge that.
- That's true. If it wasn't for me
being able to bank off her sometimes and slide off
to Kayci to just be like, ooh, man, you know?
And then, be like, okay, this done.
Let me get back to the real (bleep).
And I'm home.
- You cannot continue that thought process.
If you are in the stage of your life where
you want a party girl, somebody that your boys
is comfortable with and a certain lifestyle,
then that's the person that you should be with,
because Tracy is a different type of female.
She wants a man, she wants a man,
a husband, a father.
Loyalty, trust, honesty, commitment.
- I understand. - If that's too hard for you,
why not let Tracy go?
- I love her, that's why I won't let her go.
And I know what's good for me. I'm a grown grown man.
- But you hurting her even more. - I understand.
- By not letting her go and her finding out about Kayci.
- I know, I know.
- All right, come on, talk to me.
- He's disrespectful. - Okay, well, we knew that.
- And I'm not gonna allow him to continue to disrespect me.
- Okay, get it out, we want you to get it out.
- That's unacceptable.
I can only take so much before I reach my limit.
I'm asking you questions and you're not answering,
you're being passive. - And if he can't answer,
that's an answer, and at that point,
he still can't muster up the maturity
to be honest with you, then remove yourself
because you got what you needed to see.
- Right. - We had to get you to see it
so you could have all the information that you need...
- Right, I have all the information.
- ...to make your decision. - I do, I'm ready.
I can have a conversation. - You can have a conversation?
- I can have a conversation. - Okay.
Wanna go back in? - Yeah.
Okay, I think we need to get everybody together, okay?
- A'ight. - Let's go.
- A'ight. You a'ight?

(Tami) Welcome back to "Caught in the Act".
After talking with McKinley alone,
I finally got his side of the story.
Now it's time to bring everyone together
to see if Tracy and McKinley's relationship has a future.
Okay, have a seat, McKinley.
We've been having a conversation in there
about everything that just transpired.
McKinley acknowledges that you're the type of woman that
has put a certain amount of pressure on him
and with Kayci, he doesn't have to experience any of that.
Kayci provides an escape. - Okay.
- I tried to explain to him that's what a woman wants
in a relationship, she wants a man.
She doesn't want someone that's not gonna be loyal,
committed, honest.
- Compromise will get you far.
If you're not willing to compromise,
you don't have to be in my face.
You have a choice.
- Well, you want to see change,
but you don't want to (bleep) change,
and that's what (bleep) me up. - And that's exa...
- What didn't I change? - Hold on, women do
that (bleep) all the time. - That's where the problem lies
in your relationship. Like, for you,
hey, McKinley needs to say this is what bothers me and then
you need to actively work towards changing those things.
She needs to say, hey, this is what bothers me,
and then you need to actively work towards changing those--
- I've done that. - And see--
- ...to be able to meet at a common ground.
- And if we not gonna be real with ourselves,
'cause she keeps saying "you can't talk
"to no other woman, you can't look at no one,
you can't have no friends," and I say, hold on,
that's that abnormal (bleep)... - Is this the controlling
narcissist speaking? - Hey, the amount of
texts that she can show, I can show the same amount
of texts from her, it takes two. - You asked to spe--
what male friends do I have that you ain't cut off?
- Let me say this... - That's every situation.
Don't play. - Love can't be--
love can't be convenient, it's got to be for both of us.
- You guys don't listen to each other.
- Listen! - Y'all don't listen
to each other, y'all just yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.
- Because he's a l-- I don't--
- Yeah, but listen, listen... - I don't like to be lied on.
(overlapping shouting)
This is the controlling man speaking, I don't have
male friends, I can't have male friends.
I don't-- I don't have nothing else to say.
Because we not gonna get anywhere with
not telling the truth. - But let me just keep it 100
with you on some real (bleep).
He owned up to what was happening with Kayci.
He admitted that that was not what should have happened.
At this point, I just feel like...
how do you come back from a woman telling you
she's gonna get engaged to your sig-- to your partner?
That's just... - Listen, I know
emotions are high, I get it, but I want you to understand
why she's so emotional. She seen you
in the jewelry store with another woman.
- Bro, Kayci was there with me and of course she gonna be
asking for (bleep) and all this other
and insinuating a whole lotta (bleep) that wasn't
even on my mind. - I get you.
She hear her talking, the girl's talking about,
oh, we getting married one day.
Granted, you ain't giving dates,
but you not denying it.
You know, you lost twins.
So she's still recovering from that also.
She thought she was gonna have a family with you.
- Yeah. - "I lose my twins,
"now I see the man I love stepping out on me
with another woman." - Yeah.
- She taking all that in, and of course she's gonna have
all type of emotions. - I'm just so appalled,
and so like, disrespected. - I'm not negating those
feelings or your emotions at all.
But I'm saying right now in this moment, you guys
if you wanna move forward, you have to make that decision
and then put in the work to make it a positive dynamic,
which you guys haven't done up until now.
- I can agree. - I think we need to, uh,
hit it dead on, and I need to hear
the answers from both of you.
McKinley, are you willing to work towards starting over
and continue being in a relationship with Tracy?
- Yes, of course. - Okay, Tracy.
You said to me in my office that you wanted things
to get back to where they were when
you guys got together because you loved McKinley.
- Right. - Right now he said
okay, I wanna be with Tracy, I'ma do the work
after this moment so that we can get back to where we were.
Are you willing to do the same?

- Right now he said okay, I wanna be with Tracy.

- Okay. So, McKinley, you know what your next job is.
We have to get Kayci in here.
And we've gotta give her some clarity in this moment as well.
- Yeah, I get it, I get it.
- Can somebody get me Kayci?
Hi, Kayci, have a seat.
So we've been in here talking.
McKinley has something that he wants to share with you.
- I've decided to stop what we doing and...
and get on-- and get my relationship right.
My heart is somewhere else.
Me and Tracy, that's my girl, that's who I'ma be with.

- So my engagement is off?
- I can't keep playing with you like that,
so no, ain't no engagement.
- So all this shopping we been doing and...

- Kayci, he's trying to let you go and go about
finding what you need with somebody that truly
wants what you want, but it's not him.

- I wanna beat both of they ass,
but since I was told I can't,
so I'm just gonna say okay.

- You okay? - Mm.
- All right, whew.
You came to us, Tracy, because you wanted answers
as it pertained to your relationship with McKinley.
You guys are gonna put in the work
that's necessary after this moment and continue on.
And Kayci, McKinley has decided to end things with you.
- Okay. - Okay?
- You should be ashamed of yourself.
- So let's go, mama.
- You can go back over there.
She gone now.

(McKinley) I really love that girl for real for real.
I gotta love her to take all this (bleep).
- I'm not at peace, and I'm very stressed,
and he's my trigger.
So in order to alleviate that stress,
I have to alleviate that trigger.
And if that involves distance, then that's just what
I have to do.
(Kayci) We just went shopping.
Now we was just in the studio vibing,
now this girl comes in, and now you're sitting up here
with this, so I'm just really lost.

- I wanna apologize to Kayci.
I definitely wanna apologize to Tracy
'cause she know I love her.
I hate seeing her upset,
I know she's really
feeling it inside, you know what I'm saying?
So that hurt me to see her hurt.
I did learn a lot.
Learned you gotta listen.
You gotta hear each other out, you know what I'm saying?
I didn't know Tracy felt so in depth about certain things.
You know? Yeah, I'll learn a lot from her.
- Obviously I'm not communicating appropriately
in a way that he understands, and that's something
that I can work on and I can fix for myself.
That way it's very clear on where we stand,
and right now we stand nowhere.

(Tami) It's been a few months
since I've actually spoken to Tracy.
So I'd like to check in to see how things are going.
Tracy! Hey, girl, what's up?
How are you? - Hey, Tami.
I'm doing good, nice to see you again.
- Now, you know I gotta get the tea.
What has happened since we caught McKinley in the act?
- Well, we're still working things out, I really
wasn't ready to throw away two years of our relationship
since things were so good in the beginning.
- Mmm. - So we're currently
seeing a counselor and we're just trying
to get back to where we once were, you know?
Kinda taking things one day at a time.
- Listen, that's all you can do. I'm happy to hear that you guys
are actually putting in the work to getting back
to where you were in the beginning.
You deserve a man, Tracy, who is going to appreciate
everything that you have to offer.
- Well, I think I'm finally
gonna introduce McKinley to my parents.
They're very traditional, and I wasn't ready
until I knew that he was the one.
But we're on the right track, I think we're almost there
or at least getting there. - I'm happy that we were
able to give you the answers that you need.
- Thank you so much, Tami.
