We could be reading your.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Letter live on the air, just like we're going to
read this one right here, right now. And you just
never know because it could be your letter today.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for
you here. It is Strawberry.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Letter subject caught on camera. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm according
to your 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 to take it. With him being out

(00:52):
of town during the week, 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.
I 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

(01:14):
and I got an alert that the alarm was going off.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Then it was reset.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
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. He came back minutes later with his garment bag.

(01:41):
Then he kissed the woman and they walked out the
basement door.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I called him, and he.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Lied 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 3 (02:03):
He hung up on me.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
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 woman wouldn't be all over our home. 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

(02:27):
a legal separation. Still no word from him. Is my
marriage over?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
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 a tux,

(02:57):
and he didn't want the woman all over your house.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Lies. Lies, lies, lies.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's evidenced clearly in his behavior that you saw on tape,
not what he says.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
So don't let him play you. Do not be fooled.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
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. You're his wife. 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.

(03:33):
He was hardly ever there anyway, and he's not coming back.
You haven't heard from him for a month. So I say,
get out now, Steve.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
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? It starts off with obvious stuff in it.
To me, Steven Cherlon, I'm a forty two year old
married woman, but I'm separated from.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
My husband now.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Curiously, in this letter, she never said why she.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Was separated from her husband.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
But I'm separated from my husband. We all know what
that means. And then she says, I've been married four
years and I was in I was, so this separation
is what they've decided.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I was in a.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Long 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 during the week. This woman to
put a camera system in the house in the basement,
the front door, the back, doing all this here and
now while you was at work on Tuesday, about a
month ago. She was ain't gotten alert on. The alarm

(04:45):
was going off. Then it was reset. Now, she said,
since chills up her spine. 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 recent. I looked
at the cameras and I saw my husband in our
basement and a woman was with him. The woman sat

(05:07):
down as my husband went upstairs. 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. Share because I'm going

(05:29):
to surprise you. I'm going to surprise you, shirl. 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 1 (05:42):
He hung up on me.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
That night, he called me and said he had a
business event to attend, so he needed his tuque, and
he used the basement door out of respect for me,
so the woman wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Be all over a house.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
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. My marriage over.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
She filed for legal separation.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, she filed for legal separation.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, that's why she separated.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Sureley, you were saying that he lied about coming home
with the TuS 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.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Though.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
No, that's really because kissing go out the door. It
could have been a tuxi. It could have been a
business meeting. He told her the truth. The problem is
the truth was enough. Yeah, the fact didn't even tell
her he.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Was in town.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh I got more cold.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
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 to Steve Harvey morning.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
On paramounth Plus.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, come on, Steve, let's reak out today's strawberry letter.
The subject is caught on camera.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Caught on camera says it all this woman put all
these cameras in her house.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Her and her husband are currently separated.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
She gets an alert on her phone that says the
candle alarm has been reset or she thinking her husband
out of town, but he's in town. She look on
the cameras. He in the basement with a woman. She
calls him, He kisses her, walks out with a gun back.
He calls her and asks where he at.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
He say he at work for to go to lunch.
He lied, he lied, So she.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Called him up and said, no, you wouldn't. I saw
you in the house with this woman and you kissed
a click.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
He hung up.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
He hung up because he was off balance, because he
needed to regroup. He's busted. Yes, yes, So now he
calls back that.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Night and said, all right, hit the deal. I was
in town.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
I had a business meeting to go too, so I
needed to come home and get my tux sito, and
out of respect for you, I didn't want this woman
all over the house.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So I came through the basement talking. That's the truth.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
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 that was probably
the tux sedo and it was probably business meeting. He
did not lie to her. The problem is the truth.
You should believe the truth.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Of what you saw.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
You saw it.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Shirley's right. This marriage is over. Is my marriage over?
And you haven't heard from him in a month, but
I bet she has.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh yeah, the woman he kissed in her house?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
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 1 (09:09):
It's time to move on.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
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. Ask me a question and
I'm gonna show you how to lie.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
The sheer lying capability.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Watch watch, watch the quickness and creativity. Okay, Shirley, 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 in anything it is goingead.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Cut on your head? Are you growing your hair back?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
What is that? No? That's a patch right there. I
had that put on.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
I was trying on a hairpiece and I left some
glue on it, and that's the group that has from
the glue.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Where is?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
It comes so natural to you, unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Next question in a relationship.

Are you are you planning on working out today? I'd
love to work out. Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
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.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
In some all that's what happened. And that's you know,
And it's.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
So as you will lie when the truth will do?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
What? Why not?

Speaker 3 (10:57):

Speaker 3 (11:02):
We can handle the truth. You can't the way we
handle you can't. You can't handle our reaction to your truth.

it so important?

Though? Let me ask you something. Why I got to lie?

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
