How Shirley Got Scammed By Her Husband
Shirley posted a video on Instagram in Summer 2023 that got deleted later. However, those who watched the emotional video know how she accused her husband of using her name and money to purchase luxurious goods like cars and houses without letting her know.
Shirley felt suspicious of the schemes Ernesto Williams was involved in and hired a private detective to follow him. Accordingly, the detective informed her of these claims with more twists. Ernesto allegedly impregnated someone, cheating Shirley. It was difficult for Shirley to move on. Still, she did it while getting supported by her colleagues.
Ernesto’s Arrest
Soon after Shirley released an emotional Instagram video mentioned above, Ernesto Williams got arrested for gun possession. He was already accused of being involved in a credit card repair scam with his alleged mistress.
On top of that, Ernesto got arrested in 2022 for fraud, theft, gun possession, and child pornography. He is imprisoned at the Atlanta Fulton County Jail without bond and must serve a sentence of twenty-three months.
We do not know whether his sentence will increase and how his relationship with Shirley will be. Meanwhile, Ernesto’s supposed mistress was on bond and waiting for her trial.

Shirley And Ernesto’s Prison Phone Conversation
Meanwhile, Shirley got an opportunity to have a telephone conversation with Ernesto after his arrest. The prison phone call leaked, and people learned what Shirley felt about Marjorie, Steve Harvey’s wife. The one who leaked the supposed conversation is still unknown.
According to the awkward phone conversation, Shirley felt uncomfortable due to Marjorie’s presence in Harvey’s house. However, Steve Harvey, glad to see Shirley and others at his door, brought them in. He often calls Shirley and her colleagues to his house, but Shirley avoids going there. She also admired Marjorie’s luxurious lifestyle in the conversation.
Shirley apologized to Marjorie on The Steve Harvey Show when the conversation went viral. She did not expect the conversation to get leaked because it was not a rumor or gossip. It was about her supposed family member, Marjorie. Shirley knew what Marjorie was going through before the conversation leaked. Thus, she assured Marjorie she did not want to increase her problems.
Meanwhile, Steve Harvey was worried about his wife’s reaction to the leaked conversation. He agreed to have a God-fearing and loyal wife and claimed that some ‘bottom feeders’ were targeting his wife.
Talking about Steve and Marjorie’s personal life, a Twitter user tweeted on 12 September 202 admiring Steve Harvey’s nature. According to the tweet, Steve is the best husband ever because he accepted Marjorie after her divorce from her three children. He forgave her for her worst deeds and taught us not to leave someone who cheats, though some might not accept it.
On the other hand, Steve reacted to the leaked conversation calmly. According to him, the ongoing controversy made Shirley’s statement look ugly. He knew she did not have worse intentions. According to Sandra Rose, Shirley did not talk to Ernesto for a long time after the prison phone call. Meanwhile, their divorce proceedings are underway.
