The Steve Wilkos Show Season 9 Episode 138 Is My Wife Still Sleeping With My Dad?
- June 29, 2016
A man named Jason comes to The Steve Wilkos Show seeking answers about his wife's relationship with his father. Jason is convinced that his wife, Jamila, has been sleeping with his dad, Eric, behind his back, and he wants to confront them both on the show. Jason and Jamila have been together for five years and have two children, but their relationship has been strained for some time. Jason claims that his father has always been flirtatious with Jamila, and he has caught them being overly affectionate with one another on several occasions. He has even found evidence of suggestive text messages between the two of them. Despite Jamila's insistence that nothing is going on, Jason is convinced that his suspicions are true.
When Steve brings Jamila and Eric out to the stage, tensions are immediately high. Jason wastes no time in accusing the two of them of having an affair, but both Jamila and Eric deny any wrongdoing. Eric claims that Jason has always been jealous of their relationship and has always been suspicious of him. Jamila also denies any romantic involvement with Eric, insisting that she loves her husband and would never betray him. However, things take a turn when Steve asks to see Jamila's phone and discovers a series of text messages between her and Eric that are highly suggestive. Jamila tries to explain them away as innocent, but it's clear that even Steve is skeptical.
As the show goes on, more and more evidence comes to light that suggests that something inappropriate is indeed going on between Jamila and Eric. Steve brings out a lie detector test, which both Jamila and Eric agree to take. The results are shocking, with both of them failing the test and admitting to at least some degree of romantic involvement. Jason is understandably devastated, and the audience is horrified by the revelations. Steve confronts Jamila and Eric about their behavior, and they both express remorse for what they've done. However, it's clear that the damage has been done, and there's no going back from the betrayal.
Throughout the episode, Steve offers Jason support and guidance on how to move forward. He emphasizes the importance of taking care of his children and making sure that they're not negatively affected by what's happened. He also encourages him to seek counseling, both for himself and for his relationship with Jamila. In the end, Jason makes the difficult decision to leave Jamila and focus on rebuilding his life without her and his father. It's a painful and emotional episode, but one that offers a clear message about the importance of honesty and trust in any relationship, and the devastating consequences that can come from betraying those things.
