A tearful Keshia Knight Pulliam is pointing the finger at her husband,
accusing him of infidelity after he slammed the actress with similar
allegations.
The former "Cosby Show" star broke down while talking to Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday night as she detailed the downfall of her marriage from husband Ed Hartwell.
Hartwell abruptly filed for divorce
from his pregnant wife of seven months and said his only priority was getting a "paternity test for the baby."
"This is about my character — my integrity as a woman being attacked — and that's not OK," she said through tears.
Pulliam claims she was the one who wanted a divorce when she learned of
Hartwell's alleged unfaithfulness but gave the former NFL player a
second chance after learning she was pregnant.
"Early on in my marriage when I was faced with this, I was ready to
leave. It's not OK," she recalled. "I had divorce papers ready. I
presented it to him. ... Once I was pregnant I did decide to give him
that one last chance."
"The part that hurt me the most when he filed for divorce was that he
had asked me to give him another chance, and I was willing to do that
and forgive him, for our family," she continued.
The 37-year-old stressed Hartwell is the father of bundle of joy she's expecting and that she "didn't do anything wrong."
Still, she no longer has any "desire" to start a family with Hartwell and isn't even talking to her soon-to-be ex.
"There's nothing to say at this point," she explained.
"I have to move forward. I have to do what I need to to release the
hurt, to release this, and to be happy for me and my baby girl, because
the stress isn't good. The stress isn't healthy. And my only priority is
her," she added.
Pulliam became emotional again when asked if she still loves her short-time husband.
"I love who he pretended to be," she responded.
"When he said he wanted our marriage, he wanted our family —
I believed him. That's why I gave him this one last chance, only for
him to pull the rug from under me and blindside me," she said.
Earlier in the day, the actress teased her appearance on the
entertainment show on Instagram and said she was ready to share my
truth. She added the quote: "Never let anyone steal your joy."
