The Steve Wilkos Show Season 6 Episode 127 I've Been Prostituting, Is My Fiance The Father?
- May 20, 2013
In this episode of The Steve Wilkos Show, a woman named Amber comes on the show to confront her fiancé, Josh, about an issue that has been plaguing their relationship. Amber used to be a prostitute, and she is worried that Josh may not be the father of their unborn child because she had slept with so many men in the past.
Amber starts off by telling Steve and the audience about her background. She says that she grew up in a broken home, and that her mother was a drug addict who was in and out of prison. Amber turned to drugs and prostitution at a young age as a way to survive. She met Josh a few years ago, and he has been a stabilizing force in her life. They got engaged earlier this year, and Amber is now pregnant with their first child.
However, Amber is haunted by her past. She says that she has slept with more than 100 men in her life, and that most of them were johns she met while working as a prostitute. She used protection most of the time, but there were a few instances where she did not use protection, and she is worried that one of those encounters may have resulted in her pregnancy.
Josh is sitting in the audience, and he is visibly uncomfortable as Amber talks about her past. Steve asks him how he feels about the situation, and Josh says that he loves Amber and that he wants to support her, but he is concerned about the paternity of the child. He says that he doesn't think he could handle it if the child turned out not to be his.
Steve decides to bring out a DNA expert to help settle the question of paternity. The expert explains how DNA testing works, and she takes samples from Amber, Josh, and the unborn child. The results will not be available until later in the show, so Steve decides to take a break and talk to Amber and Josh separately.
During their interviews with Steve, both Amber and Josh reveal that they are dealing with a lot of emotional turmoil. Amber is ashamed of her past, and she worries that Josh will leave her if he finds out that he is not the father of the child. Josh, on the other hand, is torn between his love for Amber and his fear of being betrayed. He says that he wants to trust Amber, but he can't shake the feeling that she may have been unfaithful.
When the show returns from the break, Steve announces the results of the DNA test. The expert reveals that Josh is indeed the father of the unborn child. Everyone, including Amber and Josh, breathes a sigh of relief. Steve tells them that they have an opportunity to start fresh – to put their past behind them and focus on building a future together as a family. He urges them to seek counseling and support to help them work through their issues.
In the final segment of the show, Steve checks in with Amber and Josh to see how they are doing. They say that they are both committed to making their relationship work, and that they are excited about the arrival of their child. Steve encourages them to stay strong and to remember that they have a bright future ahead of them. The show ends on a positive note, with Steve reminding everyone that, no matter what their past may be, they have the power to make a better future for themselves.
