My Blind Husband

Beckham gazed into the camera, a subtle smile gracing his lips. “I firmly believe Cherise did not err.”

“Were I in my wife’s shoes five years ago, I would have made the same decision.”

“On a smaller scale, it’s due to my unwavering trust in my daughter and my willingness to place my life in her hands.”

“On a grander scale, it’s a step toward resolving these complex issues.”

“After the events unfolded, I found the online commentary nonsensical.”

“As the individuals closest to Charisa, Cherise and I–are averse to witnessing this outcome, yet we are the most profoundly impacted.”

“Yet, netizens advocate for justice, labeling Cherise cruel and disloyal.”

“May I ask: before this incident, did you truly pay heed to and understand Cherise?”

“Do you truly comprehend who Charisa was?”

“No, you don’t. You are merely following the herd without engaging in critical thought.”

“I genuinely hope you keyboard warriors can learn to think independently.”

Following Beckham’s video, another clip featuring Charisa emerged.
