Cosby Show child actress, Keshia
Knight Pulliam who was accused of cheating by her estranged husband, former NFL pro Ed Hartwell, filed for divorce from her on Tuesday, just days after the 37-year-old actress announced she was pregnant, and nearly seven months after the two were married.
In an exclusive sit-down with ET on Wednesday in Atlanta, Pulliam who wasn’t wearing her wedding ring broke down in tears when
discussing her issues with Hartwell.
‘I knew I couldn’t be silent, because this isn’t about money. This isn’t
about fame. This isn’t about social media likes or follows. This is
about my character – my integrity as a woman being attacked – and that’s
not OK,’ Pulliam said.
Pulliam insisted she never cheated
on her husband while they were married instead she alleged that
Hartwell was the one who had been unfaithful. She said when she found
out about his cheating, she wanted to divorce him.
In her words:
‘Like, I had divorce papers ready. I
presented it to him. … Once I was pregnant I did decide to give him
that one last chance,’ she said.‘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 added.
Keshia said she has ‘no desire’ to reconcile with her husband and will instead concentrate on their daughter.
She said:
‘There’s a baby in the middle of this! And regardless, if we
don’t want to be married, that’s fine, because we agree on that. But
this baby is what’s important, and I feel like that’s being lost.” ”I
have to move forward. I have to do what I need to do 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 said.’I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t cheat on my
husband. I didn’t do it. It’s really that simple,’ Pulliam said.
She added that truth will prevail when the paternity test is done.
