Bruce and Damarla

17 year old Damarla said that her boyfriend Bruce controls and abuses her. She was ashamed to tell anyone, including her mother Marilyn, about the abuse. Marilyn was secluded backstage but when the audio feed was turned on, she heard for the first time shocking details of Bruce's abuse of her daughter, He forces her to have sex and pulls her hair out. He once got mad and put his cigarette out on her face. He also once made her stand outside in the rain for over a half hour. Marilyn repeatedly said "I'm gonna kick his ass.", and the audience cheered loudly in response.

When Maury asked Marilyn what she thought of Bruce now, she responded "He's nothing!" Damarla said Bruce also poured rubbing alcohol over her hair and in her eyes. "Oh hell! Oh hell no!" Marilyn said. "I'm gonna kick his ass!...I'm gonna show him an ass whooping!"

Bruce said he has been with Damarla for five years and owns her. He says he has forced her to have sex, poured rubbing alcohol on her and abused her in front of their daughter. He said no one, including Marilyn can stop him. She came out from backstage to confront him. "You want to beat someone's ass? Beat mine! You ain't no man!" she said.

Later in the episode, a woman named Jackie appeared on the show to urge Damarla and the other abused teenage girls leave their abusive partners. Jackie was in an abusive relationship with her husband Jimmy. During an argument, Jimmy shot her, paralyzing her. Like Marilyn, Jackie said her mother had no idea about the abuse she was enduring. She called Bruce a "punk (bleep)." Raphael B Johnson also appeared to confront Bruce and the other men and warned them that their behavior could land them in prison. "When you put your hands on a man, you hurt an individual, when you put your hands on a woman, you're hurting an entire nation." Johnson told Bruce. He and the other abusive men were taken to the Monmouth County Correctional Facility in New Jersey to experience prison life.

At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Demarla ended her relationship with Bruce.
