Here’s what I’m saying: people often think that just because someone gets arrested, they must be guilty. Why is it that the ones giving advice on love and relationships often have the craziest personal lives? Look at Shirley Strawberry—she was completely delusional about what was really going on with Ernesto Williams. And who in the world takes phone calls from jail? But hey, I’m not complaining because the juicy details we got from those calls are wild. Shirley threw her daughter Sheridan under the bus without even realizing it, showing how deep the issues run. Plus, she spilled secrets about her boss, Steve Harvey, and how he’s scared of Marjorie. No, Marjorie wasn’t around. If she had been, we probably wouldn’t have been all over the house [laughter].
You know, when it comes to Ernesto’s affairs, I just want to say thank you for being there through it all. I really mean it, your support means everything to me. It’s like a dream come true for a guy like me, honestly. The whole situation feels like something out of a movie, and I’m totally invested in it. And I know you are too. But before we start dissecting those leaked phone calls, can we just take a moment to wonder how someone like Shirley Strawberry ended up with a guy like Ernesto? I mean, seriously, she’s the one dishing out relationship advice! It’s hard to believe she didn’t know about all the shady stuff he’s been up to. Did she turn a blind eye because of love, or was she completely unaware of his true nature?
So, here’s another thing: Shirley and Ernesto’s conversations from jail ended up getting leaked online, and let me tell you, I was absolutely shocked by what was revealed in those calls. In one of them, Ernesto talks to Shirley about how Shirley’s daughter got tangled up in some of the charges when she spoke to the police. And get this—Shirley, standing by Ernesto, even suggests that her daughter was manipulated by the cops. “I don’t really know what she said, but she was terrified. You know, they kept…she was scared and curious, and she wanted answers because they kept…they kept hinting that her name was on certain documents, just like they did with me.”
“Hey, listen to me, sweetheart. Just like they advised me, remember? She was really upset about everything, and it’s understandable, right? I mean, your name’s gotta be on some things; you lived with us.” It’s pretty rough throwing your own daughter under the bus like that, huh? And then Shirley goes on to say she hasn’t heard from her daughter in a while and that she’s keeping her grandkids away. Well, Shirley, what did you expect? You openly took Ernesto’s side over hers. “Look, I’ll admit, it was wrong. She shouldn’t have done it. I don’t know, maybe someone got into her head. It feels like someone was influencing her because she can’t keep anything.”
Wow, it’s gotta be nerve-wracking for her. Shirley just wouldn’t let up about her daughter’s missteps, completely oblivious, I bet, to the fact that Ernesto was chatting up his mistress right after hanging up with her, discussing some risqué photos he’d received in bed. “Yikes, yeah, I’m digging that. Honestly, I’m into all of them,” he quipped.
And then there’s this leaked convo between Ernesto and some woman from Florida. It’s crystal clear she’s his thrill-seeking escape, the one who keeps him feeling young. Cheating from behind bars? That’s a whole new level of audacity.
I hadn’t planned on getting into Steve Harvey’s drama, but with all the buzz surrounding him and Marjorie lately, it’s hard to ignore. Shirley had a few choice words about Marjorie too. She mentioned chatting with Steve about the whole ordeal, and even though Steve didn’t offer much, he did extend a helping hand to Shirley if she needed it. As for Marjorie, Shirley joked, “That woman’s got her claws out… if she’d been around, we probably wouldn’t have been all over the house
Do you think Ernesto was fully aware of what was going on, deliberately prodding Shirley to talk about Steve and Marjorie, knowing the call was being recorded? It seemed like he was quite cautious throughout the conversation, giving short responses and letting Shirley do most of the talking and gossiping. With all the recent talk about Marjorie, I bet Shirley is feeling incredibly anxious now that their conversation about Steve and Marjorie has been leaked.
Interestingly, Steve’s name also cropped up during a bond hearing conducted over Zoom. Ernesto was deemed a flight risk and ordered to surrender his passport because of a conversation where he mentioned traveling to Abu Dhabi and staying at his wife’s boss’s house, who turned out to be Steve Harvey. The prosecution even hinted that Steve might have offered his house to Ernesto to help him flee the country and avoid prosecution.
You know, Ernesto and Steve Harvey go way back. It’s said that Steve actually introduced Shirley to Ernesto. Steve apparently thought Ernesto had turned his life around and even walked Shirley down the aisle at their wedding, believing in their relationship.
But now, there’s some gossip swirling around. Word is, Shirley and Ernesto were talking behind Steve’s back, saying he’s scared of Marjorie. And as if that’s not enough drama, Ernesto’s got some serious legal issues piling up. Charges like rape, child pornography, battery—you name it. Honestly, if these allegations are true, it looks like Ernesto might be looking at a lifetime behind bars. And if that’s the case, well, it’s hard to argue he doesn’t deserve it.
At first, it seemed like Shirley had a moment of clarity amidst the chaos. She poured her heart out in an emotional video, which she later took down from her Instagram. In the video, she laid bare the deceitful web Ernesto had woven around her—his lies about his identity, finances, and true intentions. Shirley revealed how he had exploited her name and credit to live a lavish lifestyle, buying cars, houses, and other luxuries behind her back. The revelation of his infidelity with multiple women, some even carrying his children, shattered her. She confessed to uncovering the truth through a private investigator, leaving her shocked and devastated. Betrayal, humiliation, and heartbreak washed over her as she grappled with the realization that the man she loved and trusted had deceived her in such a profound way.
Moreover, Shirley admitted she wished she’d paid closer attention to the warning signs and listened to the concerns voiced by her friends and family about Ernesto. She deeply regretted brushing off their advice. Despite the ordeal, she was trying to move forward and expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from her fans, colleagues, and loved ones.
However, things took a turn with the leaked phone calls from jail. Many, myself included, found it hard to believe Shirley was completely caught off guard, especially considering how she threw her own daughter under the bus and openly criticized Steve and Marjorie. It begs the question: Was Shirley truly unaware of the gravity of her situation, or was there some level of denial at play? And those explosive phone calls certainly added fuel to the fire. What’s your take on Shirley’s awareness and the controversy surrounding the leaked calls? Let’s discuss in the comments below.
