Speaker 2 (00:27):
Subject caught on camera. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm affording two
year old married woman, but I've separated from my husband.
I've been married four years and I was in a
long distance marriage because my husband works almost three hours away.
He was offered a job that he couldn't refuse, so
I told him.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
To take it. With him being out of town during
the week.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I got a home security system installed with four cameras.
I put one camera in the basement and one in
the main living area, one at the back door and
one at the front door. Put the alarm app on
my phone so I could watch the cameras while I
was at work. On a Tuesday about a month ago,
I was at work and I got an alert that

(01:10):
the alarm was going off, then it was reset. It
sent chills up my spine because I was the only
one in town and the only person that could have
reset my alarm. I looked at the cameras and I
saw my husband in our basement and a woman was
with him. The woman sat down as my husband went upstairs.

(01:32):
He came back minutes later with his garment bag. Then
he kissed the woman and they walked out the basement door.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I called him, and he lied.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
And said he was at work and about to go
to lunch and he would call me back. I told
him to quit lying because I know he's in town
and he had a woman in our house. I asked
him why he didn't tell me he was in town
and why he would bring a woman into my house.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
He hung up on me.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
That night, he called and said he had a business
event to attend, so he needed his tux and he
used the basement door out of respect for me so the.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Woman wouldn't be all over our home.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
He said he was going to take some time away
from me to work on himself. It has been almost
a month since he's reached out to me, so I
filed for a legal separation.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Still no word from him. Is my marriage over?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yes? I'm sorry, but it is. It's over. I mean
he was caught red handed on tape. Period. Everything you
saw on that camera was true and real, no matter
what lies. He thought of later and told you he
had a dinner to go to, so he needed a text.
He had a business event to attend, so he needed

(02:51):
a tux, and he didn't want the woman all over
your house.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Lies.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Lies, lies, lies, lies. It's evidenced clearly in his behavi
that you saw on tape, not what he said.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So don't let him play you. Do not be fooled.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
He came back to town, he didn't tell you, brought
another woman to your house, kissed her in your house,
and then they left out together.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
You're his wife.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
He completely disrespected you. He betrayed your trust. I mean,
I'm sorry you had to see this and that you
had to go through this. He's wrong. You did a
good thing by filing for a separation. I say, just
go on and finish up the deal, file for a divorce.
He was hardly ever there anyway, and he's not coming back.
You haven't heard from him for a month, so I say,

(03:33):
get out now, Steve.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
I really don't understand this letter. I'm sorry. I don't
caught on camera what we're talking about. Yeah, what's the
letter for?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
It starts off with obvious stuff in it.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
To me, Steven Sheerldon, I'm a forty two year old
married woman, but I'm separated from my husband now.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Curiously, in this.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Letter, she never said why she was separated from her
But I'm separated from my husband. We all know what
that means. And then she says, I've been married four years.
It was and I was in I was, so this
separation is what they've decided. I was in a long

(04:17):
distance marriage because my husband works almost three hours away
and he was off of the job. He couldn't refuse,
so I told him to take it now with him
being out of town, doing the weakest woman to put
a camera system in the house in the basement, the
front door, the back, doing all this hill and now
while you was at work on Tuesday, about a month ago,

(04:38):
she was ain't got an alert on the alarm was
going off.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Then it was reset.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Now, she said, since she was up her spying because
I was the only one in town and the only
person that could have reset my alarm. Well, you're not
the only person that could reset the alarm, because it
got reset. I looked at the cameras and I saw
my husband in our basement and a war a woman was
with him. The woman sat down as my husband went upstairs.

(05:04):
He came back minutes later with his garment bag. Then
he kissed the woman and they walked out the basement door.
I called him, and he lied and said he was
at work and about to go to lunch and he
would call me back. That was the lie he told.
That was the only lie he told in his letter.
Shall because I'm going to surprise you. I'm going to

(05:26):
surprise you, Shuv. I told him to quit lying because
I know he was in town. He had a woman
in our house, and I asked him why he didn't
tell me he was in town and why he would
bring a woman into the house.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
He hung up on me. That night, he called me and.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Said he had a business event to attend, so he
needed his tucks, and he used the basement door out
of respect for me, so the woman wouldn't be all
over a house. He said he was gonna take some
time away from me to work on himself. It's been
almost a month since he'd reached out to me. So
I filed for divorce. Still no word for him. Is
my marriage over?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
She filed for legal separation.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, she filed for legal separation.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, that's why she's dead.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Sureley, you were saying that he lied about coming home
with the tucks and all like this right here, Well,
he was on camera. He never denied that after he
found out he was on camera. But the reason he
came in the house could have very well been true.
To get the tuxi though, No, that's really going because

(06:24):
all they did was kids, they go out the door.
It could have been a tuxio. It could have been
a business meeting. He told her the truth. The problem
is the truth was enough.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, the fact didn't even tell her he was in town.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh I got more we cooked.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Okay, all right, we'll have part two of your response
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Subject
of today's strawberry letter caught on camera. We'll get back
into it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
All episodes are now streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
All right, come on, Steve. Let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is caught on camera.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Caught on camera says it all. This woman put all
these cameras in her house. Her and her husband are
currently separated. She gets an alert on her phone that
says the candle alarm has been reset. Well, she thinking
her husband out of town, but he's in town. She
look on the cameras. He in the basement with a woman.

(08:02):
She calls him. He kisses her and walks out with
a garment bag. He calls her and asks where he at.
He say he at work, fin.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
To go to lunch. He lied, he lied.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
So she called him up and said, no, you wouldn't.
I saw you in the house with this woman and
you kissed her. Click, he hung up. He hung up.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Because he was off balanced, because he needed to regroup.
So he's busted.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yes, So now he calls back that night and said,
all right, here the deal.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
I was in town.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I had a business meeting to go too, so I
needed to come home and get my tux sedo, And
out of respect for you, I didn't want this woman
all over the house, so I came through the basement toe.
That's the truth, because he wasn't denying that there wasn't
a woman at the house. He wasn't denying he didn't
pick something up. He only left with a garment bag.

(08:58):
And that was probably the tuck see though, and it
was probably been sinus me. He did not lie to her.
The problem is the truth. You should believe the truth
is that what you saw, you saw it.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Shirley's right. This marriage is over. Is my marriage over?

Speaker 4 (09:18):
And you haven't heard from him in a month, but
I bet she has.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh yeah, the woman he kissed in her house?

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah hell yeah, he's wrong, dead wrong. Is not her
fault in any way. But now that you know the truth,
what you're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's time to move on.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Is my marriage over? Yes, it's over. So let me
show you something. This has nothing to do with the
letter Shirley or calling anybody asked me a question, and
I'm gonna show you how to lie, the sheer lying capability,
Watch how watch watch the quickness and creativity. Okay, Shirley,

(10:07):
you and I are in a relationship. Ask me anything,
and I'm not gonna tell you the truth. I don't
care how simple anything it is.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Going on your head? Are you growing your hair bag?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
What is that? No, that's a patch right there. I
had that put on. I was trying on a hairpiece
and I left some glue on it. And that's the
glue from that has from the glue quick.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Where it doesn't come so natural to you. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Next question, we're in a relationship.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, did you? Did you drive your car to work today?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
No?

Speaker 4 (10:44):
I drove it part of away and then I dropped
it off at the Jiffy Loud then and then I
took a h I took auber on it into work.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
And I'll just go back around now and get it from.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Are you are you planning on working out today? I'd
love to work out.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Oh no, I ain't gonna be able to work out
today because I tweaked my back because when I was
leaving the Jiffy Jiffy Loube, I slipped on some alloy.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
That's what happened.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
And that's you know, And it's so as you will
lie when the truth will do?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
What? What? What? What? What? Why not? But why can't
you just tell me?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Because you had to practice this you need we can
handle the truth.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
You can't the way we handle you can't. You can't
handle our reaction to your truth.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
You're a lie?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Can I ask what is? Go ahead and call me?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Who is that on the camera with you?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
That on?

Speaker 3 (11:55):

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Where do you think I am? Share any more question?
We're in a committee relationship. You can ask me anything.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Tell you what is the point of lying?

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Though?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I don't care? Why is it so important?

Speaker 3 (12:32):
But let me ask you something. Why I got to lie?

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Ask yourself that I asked you?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Why? I know why you lie to distract.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Why I got to lie though reaction. But see right there,
how you are Okay, you see how you.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Try to flip it. If you're going to accuse me
of doing I am and I.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
And I'm not doing it, and you're going to choose
me anyway, you got eyes well in the back of
your heads.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
All right, Listen, I.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Must say, hey, I'm gonna spend some time with myself
and you.
