Shirley Strawberry’s career has spanned over two decades, initially gaining recognition through her role on The Steve Harvey Morning Show in the early 2000s. Her presence on the show became synonymous with morning routines for countless listeners across the nation.
Having left and then returned to the revamped show, Strawberry’s contributions became an essential part of the program, especially with her segment known as the “Strawberry Letter.” However, recent events in her personal life have captured public attention, specifically revolving around her husband, Ernesto Williams.
Ernesto Williams, Shirley Strawberry’s husband, was once a familiar figure to many of her followers. However, his recent actions have brought significant negative attention. Williams faced legal issues, including a prior 23-month prison sentence and, more recently, additional charges related to gun possession, theft, fraud, and disturbingly, child pornography. These accusations came as a shock to Strawberry and her audience, revealing aspects of her husband’s life previously unknown to her.
Reports disclosed that Williams was allegedly involved in fraudulent schemes and a credit card repair scam, purportedly operating alongside his supposed mistress, Ericka King, as detailed by Fox 5. Strawberry, taken aback by these revelations, expressed her astonishment in a now-deleted emotional video, stating that her husband had deceived her for years by lying about his identity and intentions.
Upon uncovering the truth, Strawberry hired a private investigator, leading to the distressing discovery that Williams had been engaged in infidelity for years and had even fathered a child during this time.
Adding to the turmoil, claims emerged from Williams’ first wife, Edith Williams, asserting that Shirley Strawberry and Ernesto Williams were never legally married. According to Edith, her marriage to Williams was never dissolved, raising questions about the legality of Williams’ union with Strawberry in 2015. This information surfaced through the sharing of Edith and Ernesto Williams’ 1985 marriage certificate on the Chronicle Speaks YouTube channel in October.
The distressing revelations regarding Williams’ actions and the purported discrepancy in his marital status have left Shirley Strawberry and her followers stunned, shedding light on a tumultuous turn of events in her personal life.
