I'm Tami Roman. I have been cheated on before.
You -- my man when I was married to him.
[Tami] I even wrote a book about it.
And I've made it my mission to help suspicious lovers
catch their cheating partners...
-Ooh, they kissing too. -[Tami] ...in the act.
-[Woman] Mother--! -Who are all these people, yo?
How many [bleep] cameras are in this room?
Oh my god! Sonny!
[Tami] Together with my relationship expert...
He will never value you unless he fears losing you.
[Tami] ...and stealthy investigation team...
Oh [bleep], who's he talking to?
[Tami] We won't stop until we find the truth.
Oh [bleep], he's coming out the window.
Do you, in fact, want to see what I have to show you today?
[Tami] Once our investigation is complete,
the suspicious lover can team up with the partner's other lover.
He trying to get me to move my whole family up here?
-And he having sex with you. -This is ridiculous.
[Tami] Or take down both of them in an undercover ambush.
What the hell is Tami Roman doing here?
I came to find out what y'all was doing.
Cheaters, beware.
You stupid piece of [bleep]!
This is why it doesn't work!
You're communicating like a tyrant.
-[Woman] Stop him! -Oh [bleep]!
[Woman] Bitch, what the [bleep]?
[Woman] I can't take it no more, Tami!
-[Tami] Listen to me. -I can't [bleep] take it!
You got me [bleep] up, bro!
Both of y'all are acting crazy.
You should be having that energy towards the man playing y'all!
This is Caught in the Act: Unfaithful.

[Ta'yiani] Hi, Ms. Tami!
-[Tami] Hello there. -How are you?
I'm doing well. How are you? Looking beautiful.
-Thank you. You too. -What's this you got?
So, you know, these are my cards.
[Tami] Oh, is that a bad sign
when they fall all over the place like that?
No, it's actually them just saying hello.
OK, well, pick your cards up.
But my cards have been telling me things about my relationship
that I might need your assistance on.
-So let me just... -[Ta'yiani] Of course.
[Tami] Real quick.
I've never had anybody bring tarot cards.
They give me a lot of clarity
on, like, how to move with the future.
Ah, understood, understood. OK.
-Ta'yiani? -Ta'yiani.
It's a pleasure meeting you. I want to get to know you.
Well, I'm 25 years old.
I was born in "Tan-ZA-nia" in East Africa.
[Tami] Not "Tan-za-NI-a"?
It's "Tan-za-NI-a", but where we from, we say "Tan-ZA-nia".
OK. What do you do for a living?
I'm a holistic specialist,
selling juices and smoothies, and I do the cards.
-I give readings. -Uh-huh.
What's one decision in your life that they helped you make?
So, I was together with my ex for about four and a half years,
and the cards was just like, "Somebody's lying."
Uh-huh.
The cards told me, "Go through that phone."
OK.
And boom, it's like all these girls
he's been talking to for, like, over a period of nine months.
So I broke up with him.
-You did break up with him? -I did, I did.
OK. So the cards told you to leave your ex.
Yes.
OK. So now you're here to talk about a relationship with who?
-[Ta'yiani] My boyfriend Chris. -[Tami] Chris. OK.
[Ta'yiani] I actually ended up meeting him
about two and a half years ago at a party with my best friend.
-Her name is Sativa. -Sativa?
Sativa. Yes.
I would prefer a friend named Indica.
You know, a little more relaxed. A little more easygoing.
Yeah. Uh-huh.
So, at the party, she had pointed out a guy
who was standing on the other side of the room.
She was like "That man over there, he's cute."
-OK. -She had brought him up first.
I was like, "Are you gonna do something about that?
-Like, if you not, I will." -OK.
[Ta'yiani] First thing that he said,
he said "mon cherie", which is Haitian Creole.
So he already got me. You know, I'm Haitian too.
-My dad's Haitian. -OK.
Our connection was so strong, I trusted everything
that he was saying, like, he was a very genuine person.
OK. How does it advance?
We agreed to see each other the next day
and then boom, we hit it off.
He asked me to be his girlfriend.
[Tami] He asked?
Yes. So I said "Of course, yes," and I could feel that
the relationship was getting serious.
So I introduced him to my mother.
You did?
I did. He actually cooked for her.
And she tried his cooking.
He know what he doing, don't he?
-He's also a chef as well. -Oh, he's a chef?
He is a chef. So my mom like, she just loved it.
She was like "Yeah, you're the perfect one for my daughter.
Like, absolutely. You get my approval."
When I talk about some of my other family over there, too,
like my other family's in Haiti, they know his family.
So y'all have crossed some major bridges
as it pertains to the culture. That's a big deal.
It is.
You take somebody home to mommy,
it's like, "I'm serious about this person.
I'm trying to make this a thing and I need the approval."
Yes.
So how long have y'all been together now?
We've been together for two and a half years.
-[Tami] OK. -[Ta'yiani] We've talked about
moving in together, like, officially.
You know, "Please give me a key."
OK. But most people who sit on that couch,
it's been two and a half years now.
They would have already moved in together.
Why haven't y'all?
That's kind of like a me thing for me,
'cause I definitely do want to be married first,
before we even live together.
OK. So there are issues now.
Y'all live separately, but you're noticing some things
in the relationship. What are you noticing?
Yes, so you know, he used to be very, very passionate with me.
You know we never really wore condoms like that,
-because we were together. -Right.
Recently he's, you know, asked to start wearing condoms
and I'm just like... Exactly.
I'm just like, where could you even get these feelings from?
Usually they project what they're doing.
-[Tami] Exactly! -He's accused me of cheating.
-Oh! -I'm the most loyalist girl.
I really like, like real wife treatment.
I'm talking about real loyal, real truthful.
So all of a sudden, now he's accusing you?.
-Yeah, he's accusing me. -Ooh!
And then he's actually took the key back.
So you gotta make an appointment?
I gotta make an appointment to see my man.
Did you think to go through Chris' phone?
[Ta'yiani] We share an iPad, right?
Uh-huh.
The other day, I tried to get into the iPad, though.
-He had changed the password? -He changed the password.
Let's ask the cards real quick. What's going on?
-[Ta'yiani] What's going on? OK. -What question we asking?
Um, we gonna ask my cards,
is the unfortunate event of, you know, this relationship
no longer a strong foundation? And could he be thinking--
I feel like that's lengthy. Is this [bleep] cheating?
-It this [bleep] cheating on me? -Lay it on us.
-All right. That's one. -Mm-hmm.
Ooh you don't want to hear this. I can see it in your face.
-No, I don't. -I can see it in your face.
-[Ta'yiani] Fighting. -Fighting. OK.
-[Ta'yiani] Says nothingness. -Ooh, it's black.
[Ta'yiani] And then this one says The Lovers.
The nothingness,
coming from The Lovers card next to it, like,
is there nothing in my relationship anymore?
The fighting. Am I fighting to accept the truth?
So then I gotta get you some proof.
Yeah, I need proof. Physical proof.
OK. Well, all I can do is put Chris under surveillance.
And I will contact you and bring you in
to look at what we may have found.
-I hope the cards is wrong. -I hope the cards is wrong, too.

[Jennifer] This is the case of Ta'yiani and Chris.
Chris has been growing kind of distant with her,

[Jennifer] He's parked in front of a juice shop.
So I'm gonna take my laptop in and pretend like I'm working.
And I'm also gonna take my key fob in.
It's helpful to sit this on the table,
so that I can get audio and visual.
[phone rings]
[upbeat instrumental music]
Interesting, interesting, interesting.
He is a Chatty Cathy, that guy. So Ta'yiani has her suspicions,
and he's having trust issues of his own.
Oh yeah, he's on the move.
[suspenseful instrumental music]
[Jennifer] Yeah, he's home.
[suspenseful instrumental music]

His lights have been off for a while.
I am confident he's not coming back out.

-[Ta'yiani] Hey y'all. -[Tami] I told Coach Ken
you was gonna have them cards in your hand.
[Ta'yiani] And I do. So what y'all got for me?
I do have some things to show you.
Coach Ken is here.
In the event that you see something
that makes you feel uneasy, uncomfortable,
you do have a choice in the matter.
You don't have to see anything that I have to show you.
-I want to see what you got. -OK.
This is our first day of surveillance at Chris' home.
He comes outside, gets into his vehicle,
and we start to follow him.
Chris lands at this establishment,
-and it's a little juice shop. -OK.
Once inside with our hidden cameras, he takes a seat.
He calls some ladies over,
and just starts having a conversation with them.
Yeah, he's being way too friendly.
I don't know who they are, but that's too much conversation.
Then he gets a call.
When he says he can't trust you, I'm going to ask you now.
Is there a reason for him not to trust you?
-Absolutely not. -OK, OK.
I do have more to show you.
He left the juice shop, and he went home.
Then he didn't leave again.
This is our next day of surveillance.
We start again at Chris's home.
He eventually comes out with his supplies.
So we start trailing, and he ends up at the farmer's market.
And then this lady shows up.
Hold on. That's my best friend. That's Sativa.
-That's my best friend. -That's Sativa?
That's Sativa. Like, that's my girl.
For them to even be seeing each other outside of me and him,
that's very new to me.
[Ta'yiani] Why are you picking her up like that?
Wait a minute.
[Tami] So then the next day of surveillance,
Chris ends up at this establishment.
Now, remember, Sativa asked him
would he be a model for her class?
Our decoy was able to get in and capture this class.
Is she an exotic dancer by trade?
She is. She's a great dancer. I ain't gonna lie.
You've got to see this.
What the [bleep] is she...
And she's enjoying this [bleep], too!
Yeah, OK.
- [phone ringing] -That's my ringtone.
This bitch is a [bleep] snake.
[Sativa] Mm-hmm.
The fact that she was literally in his face, though,
-talking to me. -You don't want to sit down?
I don't want to sit down, no, 'cause I'm looking like a fool.
I look mad dumb!
Bear with me. I'm asking for a little patience from you.
We could sit down. We could sit down.
Sit down and relax a little bit. I think you knew.
-Did I know? How did I know? -I think you knew all along.
No! I knew that maybe he had something going on,
but let alone with my best [bleep] friend?
No, that's the last person I would ever expect.
We've been best friends for five years.
I've... [sobs]
I've never had a best friend. She's my first best friend.
Like, I didn't even have best friends when I moved here.
I didn't know what that was. I just knew family.
And you know what's the most embarrassing part?
Like, I have to go back and talk to my mom about this.
And all my family's high hopes of me having a husband,
and all these dreams that I've built.
All that, it's out the window.
There is a thing called intuitive distortion.
Because we want something so bad,
we misinterpret what we're feeling,
and then it leads to poor decisions.
You all haven't built that foundation yet.
But you're doing the things as though it has been built.
Here's the two options, Ta'yiani.
First one, we call it a team-up,
because I can take you to have a conversation with Sativa,
your best friend.
You guys can talk it out and then go
have a conversation as a unit with Chris.
Or we have something else called a takedown.
I can get my investigative team back out there.
They can catch Sativa and Chris together.
And when they do, I can pick up Coach Ken,
we'll come get you and take you to have a conversation.
The latter. Give him takedown. Absolutely. Let's take it down.
You can talk to Chris. You can talk to Sativa.
I want to help you maneuver through that situation.
-So continue to act normal. -We can do that.
[Tami] OK.
♪ 7, 7:30, OK ♪
♪ I can ride this beat all night, all day ♪
♪ Cross my street, better look both ways ♪
My investigative team found Sativa and Chris together
at this restaurant supply establishment.
So I'm going to take you there
so that you can have a conversation.
So the way this works is I want people to get clarity.
How do we do that? We've got to ask questions, right?
And really dig in with Sativa, because...
That's what I'm primarily focused on.
-Yeah, really dig in with her. -It's real betrayal.
♪ I know they mad I know they mad ♪
♪ Sittin' drinkin' Cris while I'm throwin' this-- ♪
[horn honking]
♪ Run up a tab, everything hit ♪
♪ Always knew it'd be like this ♪
[Tami] We are here.
So the way this works is our van
has a camera to see what's going on inside.
Now, when you get out of this vehicle,
my additional cameras will follow you
into the establishment.
That will allow Ken and I to monitor.
Should we feel the need to step in
and help you through this journey, we will.
-[Tami] Are you ready? -I'm ready.
[Tami] So there they are, hugged up inside of this place here.
[Ta'yiani] I see.
We won't be able to hear the conversation
until you get out,
and then my camera's follow you.
[Ta'yiani] They kissing, and she all [bleep] over him!
-I can get out. -Let me open the door for you.
Remember, my cameras are going to follow you.
-[Ta'yiani] Thank you. -[Ken] All right. All right.
[Ta'yiani] This what the [bleep] we on?
This what the [bleep] we on? This what the [bleep] we on?
You went behind my back, bitch!
[simultaneous shouting]
-Let's go. -Let's go to work.
[Ken] We're going to work.
[Ta'yiani] [bleep]!
The [bleep] is you talking about?
[shouting continues inside]
[Tami] Hey! Hey! Oh my goodness!
[shouting continues]
Come on, y'all. Listen, listen, listen.
Can I talk to y'all? I'm sorry.
I would like to talk to y'all. I'm so sorry.
[Sativa] What is there to talk about?
Well, I want to explain to you what's going on.
So my name is Tami Roman, OK?
And you're on a show called Caught in the Act: Unfaithful.
Now, Ta'yiani came to me because she thought
there was infidelity in her relationship with you, Chris.
We put you under surveillance,
and we found out that you were messing with her best friend.
-Trifling-ass bitch! -[Sativa laughs]
-[Tami] Listen, listen. -We're trying to celebrate!
-[Tami] Can I-- -[bleep] y'all celebration!
What y'all celebrating? Some trifling-ass [bleep]
that y'all had going on behind my [bleep] back?
Let me pull y'all off to the side.
Trifling bitch!
[Tami] Because I want to hear what y'all thinking.
Bitch, you're trifling, hoe!
Sativa, you supposed to be her best friend?
[Sativa] She's supposed to be my best friend.
-[Tami] Let's sit right here. -[Sativa] The [bleep]?
Being around T?
[Tami] She told me that she loved you, by the way,
that you were like her sister.
-I'm just telling you. -I thought so, too.
[Tami] I'm just telling you what she told me.
-I thought so, too. -OK.
You know, a lot of people can love you,
and they still want to hurt you. T's a selfish person.
She's a selfish friend, a selfish individual, period.
But you hurt your friend. Y'all been friends for five years.
But she hurt me. She hurt me first.
When did you realize the relationship
between you and her, the friendship, was going south?
I realized our relationship was going south
after our interaction with Chris.
OK. Now, I know from the beginning, you saw him first.
You thought he was cute. Then she said, "Yeah, he is cute."
She asked you, "Hey, are you going to go talk to him?"
You said no. So she said, "Well, I'm going to go ahead."
No, that's not true. She capped the [bleep] out.
I did not tell her no!
She swooped in for the kill and got Chris.
So you two, how long has this been going on?
-About six months. -Six months?
Yes.
[bleep] him. I really don't give a [bleep] about him.
-Like, it's really about her. -Yeah.
I didn't expect your best friend would act like that.
I feel like it's a jealousy thing.
She wants what I got.
OK, so right now, you're done with him, right?
I'm done! [bleep] that [bleep].
[Tami] When did you realize the relationship
between you and Ta'yiani was going south?
[Chris] So when Ta'yiani came in my life, we clicked.
You know, I'm Haitian.
I recognize her from a whole different world.
But come to find out, she ain't no different
than all these American girls! It's been two and a half years.
[Tami] Yes?
And I found out this [bleep] been fake.
What you mean when you found out it was fake?
T never gave Chris the attention he really need.
You know, if you got a man, treat your man like a king.
She treated him like how she treat her other [bleep].
Like her toys.
So you saying that Ta'yiani has other people?
[Sativa] She has other people she got up under that belt!
Me and Ta'yiani been friends for years.
I know this bitch like the back of my [bleep] hand.
[Chris] I don't trust Ta'yiani. She two player!
I ain't no peewee. I'm Big Pete!
[Tami] I understand.
I just wish you had just said, "It don't work for me."
I tried. I called her, and she told me the truth.
Mm. I don't know, Chris.
-[Ta'yiani] Excuse me. -[Sativa] And I told T.
I told T stop her [bleep] before
her [bleep] catch back up to her.
She don't want to listen. She gonna say, "Friend, I got this."
Let's talk about you. Y'all got your [bleep] together?
-You got your [bleep] together? -[Tami] OK. OK. Hold her.
-Make sure you hold her. -Bitch you been playing with me!
When we go out together, you play in my face!
You rather go be in a section drinking on [bleep] laps.
[Ta'yiani] What are you talking about?
Sativa, are you able to have a conversation
with me and with Ta'yiani
without y'all yelling at each other?
[Sativa] If she can calm all that rah-rah down.
[Tami] Are you able, Ta'yiani,
to have a conversation between me, you, and Sativa?
Without all the yelling, I want y'all to be able to talk.
Y'all used to be friends at one point.
[Ta'yiani] I will.
[Sativa] We can talk without these cameras
up in my [bleep] face!
[Tami] Well, unfortunately, this is the moment that we're in.
[Tami] So listen, ladies.
I want y'all to respect the friendship
that y'all once had and talk to each other with some sense.
Why you told him I was cheating on him?
-Because you was. -With who?
-Were you? -No!
Ask her where she been at night.
What night, bitch? I work, bitch!
Why I had to lie about your whereabouts?
-[Tami] Were you doing that? -What?
-Having her lie for you? -No!
That bitch just lied.
What do I got to lie about, Sativa?
You know, let me tell you something, though.
When a liar believes they own lies,
they will never believe they [bleep] lie.
Look at her trying to justify her own [bleep].
[Ta'yiani] You lied to him.
You told him I was cheating, for what?
I was not [bleep] cheating on him, bitch!
[Chris] So you following me, have y'all been following her?
Because I don't think she honest.
[Ken] Well, no, we didn't follow her. We followed you.
I'm in the kitchen. Where she at? She's not in my kitchen.
She probably at Cheesecake Factory.
[Ken] We saw you out selling. We saw you out.
You cooking. We saw you out.
-Was I with Ta'yiani? -No. No, you weren't. No.
So is that a common occurrence?
She's never there or any time. She's not there no more.
And more personal.
-Well, why? -Our sexual life.
Yeah, she said y'all weren't having sex.
No more sex. Like, you know.
You used to not use a condom, and now you do?
I just don't trust her.
Oh, so you stopped using the condom
'cause you don't trust her?
-Yeah. -Not because you with Sativa?
[Chris] Sativa know how to talk to me. Ta'yiani don't.
OK, the communication is good?
Big communication issue with Ta'yiani.
Sativa, she talk to me soothing.
I can figure out anything that she want,
and she figure out anything that I want.
-It's easy. -More feminine energy.
-Oh, man, soft. Soft girl. -OK, soft communication.
Feminine energy, you like that, OK.
She traditional, you know? She Caribbean.
Like, she know how to talk to me.
Oh, OK. And so that makes you feel empowered?
It makes you feel better about the relationship
-when she talks to you that way? -I have confidence. Motivated.
That's not what Ta'yiani do for me.
I operate off of motivation.
[Ken] OK, so how does Ta'yiani talk?
[Chris] Aggressive, loud.
Sativa has been manifesting with me.
I give her what I give her,
and she bring me back things that Ta'yiani never could.
At the end of the day,
this woman here views this situation like this.
"I wanted him. She went around me
and took something that she knew that I wanted."
So in her mind, she has resented you
the entire time you've been with Chris.
[Ta'yiani] Exactly.
-Because she felt violated. -But, as my best friend,
we could've had a conversation like that.
Yes! I agree with that.
Do you understand what Ta'yiani is saying,
is that you'd never told her, "Hey, T, I feel betrayed."
I didn't feel like I had that opportunity to tell her,
'cause she always comes off defensive.
She always thinks she's right.
She never sees no wrong in none of her actions.
She likes to be babied.
She's holding past situations with me,
where I maybe have ran away from conversations.
Sometimes I don't want to have them.
But this has nothing to do with this situation.
The bitch is a [bleep] liar. Come on, now.
That's all I needed to hear!
Thank you for actually taking accountability
on how you really treated our relationship!
You push away the fact that I do want to have a conversation,
but you come off so defensive,
so [bleep] rrr-rrr, that nobody can talk to you.
I'm ready to go. I'm actually ready to go.
My bad for taking your man, but it's really not my bad.
That's your fault.
You come off so defensive,
so [bleep] rrr-rrr, that nobody can talk to you.
-Now you ready to listen? -I'm actually ready to go.
My bad for taking your man, but it's really not my bad.
That's your fault. That he's not your man.
[Ta'yiani] You're trifling, bitch.
Shut up. You agree with this [bleep]?
You're part of this [bleep]?
-You got a big roster, girl. -I got a roster?
-[Chris] She told me. Yeah. -[Ta'yiani] Really?
[Ken] But he said you cheating, though.
[simultaneous shouting]
She been plotting, at the end of the day.
You took the [bleep] bait.
You're a cheap-ass, whack-ass [bleep].
Hey, look, don't call me no slim ass [bleep] that take no bait.
[Ta'yiani] Nah, [bleep]. You took bait, [bleep].
[Chris] I'm in shock. I know exactly what I needed.
-You know what else he said? -What else he said?
He said you talk to him aggressive, masculine.
And then he said--
[bleep], we're both Haitian. You know how we talk!
He the most aggressive [bleep] I know when he speaks to me.
I don't even take that [bleep] personal.
That's bull[bleep]. You're not a woman of value.
When I look at you, you're supposed to be like my mama.
Look how my mama treat me. You know what I'm saying?
You're talking about Sativa, but she acts just like my mom.
She take care of me. She value me.
Where are you at?
[Tami] I feel like had you had the conversation,
this would not have been the outcome.
You're right. You're absolutely right.
But I see a lot of hardness in you.
Tell me about you, Sativa.
I've been raising myself since I was 13 years old.
[Tami] Raising yourself? What does that really mean?
Like, I've been on the streets since I was 13,
house hopping, begging for food.
But you still have to, at some point, grow up,
in spite of everything you've gone through,
in spite of everything you've had to deal with.
You can't go through life trying to just throw daggers
at everybody that's ever hurt you. That's not healing.
'Cause I used to do that. I was you.
Because I was hurt and violated, too, as a young adult.
That's all I'm saying.
You want to be with Chris. Chris wants to be with you.
We're clear on that.
The only thing y'all did wrong was how you handled it.
That warrants an apology.
I'm willing to give her that.
OK. Let me get everybody back in here.
[Ken] The truth of the matter is,
you have no right to do what you did.
Real talk. You have no right. Look at what you caused.
Even though you might have had a reason to do it.
[Tami] I would like to talk to you, mama. Come here.
[Ken] You gotta take responsibility for your actions.
Your feelings were valid, but you did not have a right
-not to communicate it. -You're right.
[Tami] OK, now you sit right here.
[Tami] Female camaraderie is very important to me.
Are you willing to apologize to her
-for what we discussed earlier? -So, T, you know, my end,
from my point of view on our relationship,
I've always loved you more than anything.
You know I don't got family for real. You my real family.
But me, I'm a prideful mother[bleep].
My intent was not to hurt you.
My intent was to start putting myself first
and going after what I want.
Are you willing to acknowledge that
and take accountability for that?
I'm here to acknowledge the fact that
maybe, yes, because you pointed him out at first,
even though we could have had a conversation about it.
I do apologize for that, if that makes you feel a way, but...
I was hurt, and what I did
and my actions came from a hurt place.
So I do apologize. That's some real [bleep].
[Tami] Let me get him.
Chris! They've apologized to each other.
Now I need to bring you in here, and get you how you feel.
-Let's do it. -[Tami] OK.
[Chris] Let's go, Ken.
-[Chris] Thank you. -[Ken] OK.
[Tami] Listen, here's the thing.
These two ladies were at odds because of you, Chris.
So, Sativa, you still want to be with Chris?
I do.
OK. Do you want to try to sit down and have a conversation
with Ta'yiani and rebuild the friendship?
-If that can actually happen. -If there's a chance, yeah.
Ta'yiani, how about you?
I know you don't want to be with Chris anymore.
Absolutely not.
What about this friendship with Sativa?
I don't know. I have mixed emotions
about even rekindling this, 'cause at the end of the day,
if they want to be with each other, that's fine, you know?
But that's still something I'm going to have to get used to.
I don't know if I can see past that.
-[Tami] If you can get past it? -I don't know.
That's honest. Maybe six months from now, you can ask the cards.
-Yeah. -See how it goes.
-The cards don't lie. -[Tami] How about you?
You able to have a friendship with Ta'yiani?
-I don't rewind. -You don't rewind?
No, fast forward.
OK. You want to be in this relationship with Sativa?
I love her.
I have something to say to you, baby.
-[Chris] What's up? -[Sativa] Don't be mad.
I'm already pissed off. What else can be mad about?
I may have altered the truth a bit.
[Chris] What are you talking about? What you talking about?
T, she didn't have sex with people.
Now, when you call me looking for her,
I didn't know her whereabouts.
-[table crashes] -What did you just say?!
You crazy! This whole time I didn't trust her!
The whole time it was you.
You crazy! You play with me like that?
I told you. I really told you,
but you wasn't trying to hear me.
I told you! I would never lie to you.
I would never cheat on you.
I would never do you the way that you just did me.
[Chris] Oh my God. Tami.
Cards don't lie, babes. The cards already told me that.
You so [bleep] up in these cards. They lied to you!
[simultaneous shouting]
She got to lie to get some [bleep], bitch.
My [bleep], bitch.
Can I go, please? 'Cause this bitch is a [bleep] liar, bro.
What I want to say to you, Chris,
is that this is a series of unfortunate events.
But remember earlier when I said if you had
had the tough conversations, right?
Mm-hmm.
The tough conversations and asked all the questions,
and been honest all the way through,
this would've came out a long time ago.
I think you need to apologize to her.
[Ken] You determine your pace by who you walk with.
Now, whether you with either one of them,
'cause what we know now
is Sativa was deceptive, just like you.
-[girls fighting in distance] -I can't be with Sativa.
That was some good [bleep] right there.
-You like that? -I like that.
But I think I need to go get Ta'yiani.
Because they gonna kill each other.
Adios, amigo!
[Sativa laughs]
Chris want to apologize to you.
I've never seen best friends do that.
[Chris] I don't know what to say, Ken.
[Ta'yiani] The karma just bit him in the ass.
What conversation, Tami?
-[Tami] Go ahead, Chris. -[Ken] Go ahead, Chris.
Don't call me cherie, bro. You know my name. It's Ta'yiani.
I am so sorry about this. I miscalculated all the cues.
I went strictly off my emotions. I shut down on you.
I really should have called you and checked in.
I got the transparency I needed, but it's a little too late.
So don't approach the next situation like you did this one.
You need to know your partner well enough,
and if there's any confusion,
then you talk to your person. You don't talk to somebody else.
-Chris! -I'm sorry.
[Tami] You OK with that? You OK with that?
I'm OK with that. I'm OK with that.
[Tami] Well then, my job is done, Ta'yiani,
because what you asked me to do
was find out the truth about your relationship.
[Ta'yiani] And I'm glad we found this out.
-All right. -I'm gonna follow you.
I really feel sick to my stomach.
Like, I really messed up.
I thought everything made sense with Sativa.
I disrespected Ta'yiani so bad by undervaluing her.
I don't think there is a relationship to rekindle.
I wasn't expecting me to tell him how I really bagged him.
But that's like that old saying, what goes in the wash
comes out in the rinse eventually.
So this is karma biting me in my ass this time.
The cards did not lie, baby. They will never lie to me.
I don't give a [bleep] what anybody say
about me and my cards.
This deck know me. This deck will show me the way.
Shout out to Tami. Shout out to Dr. Ken.
They did their big one. These cards just helped
lead the way a little bit, and I'm grateful for it.
♪ Maybe I was better on my own ♪

[Tami] Hello there, Ta'yiani.
-Hi. It's so good to see you. -You look beautiful per usual.
Thank you. Thank you.
It's the post-no-man glow. You know what I'm saying?
So have you read yourself since that night?
[Ta'yiani] I have. The cards have been affirming me
just as far as, you know, my next steps forward
and taking this new venture, but making it solo.
OK. So you haven't talked to Chris?
I have not. I couldn't even tell you how he's doing.
If I could count on my phone how
many missed calls I have, girl.
He's been blowing my phone up.
I've had to change my number, like that bad.
Let's talk about Sativa, your good friend.
-[Ta'yiani] Yes. -How's that relationship going?
So me and Sativa, we have spoken since then.
That day helped me understand, you know,
she might have a little more damage and trauma
that she's working with
and doesn't know how to communicate.
Me being the mature person, though, you know,
I see beyond that, especially 'cause, you know,
that was my best friend at the end of the day.
It's more so like a forgive, but you don't forget situation.
It's OK sometimes to forgive and flee, too.
-[Ta'yiani] Mm-hmm. -Get on down the highway.
You know what I'm saying? But I get it.
It's not my friendship, child.
So I'm going to let y'all handle it.
Thank you for letting me check in with you.
I love these type of check-ins.
When people are fully self-aware,
then they come out on the other side stronger, wiser,
and more in tune with who they are.
I feel so much wiser.
And I feel like I've learned so much from you.
-So I did my job? - You did your job.
Amen! Bye, my love.
Cheaters, beware.
-How long this been going on? -Six-plus years.
Oh Lord!
[Tami] Next time you want to be unfaithful, think again.
I'm quicker than you.
-[Tami] Because I just might... -Get out this damn truck!
[Tami] ...catch you in the act.
-You a cheating-ass female! -Yeah!
-He's playing me. -I would play your ass too!
