<p id=”par-3_77″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/love-after-lockup-courtnee-gets-real-about-her-traumatic-past-exclusive-clip.html/”>Will and Courtnee</a> thought they were headed toward happily ever after when they tied the knot just one day after her release from prison. But their dreams of building a life together have since stalled. Courtnee hasn’t been able to get her interstate compact approved, meaning she’s stuck in Oregon while Willi is living in California. Then, she landed back in jail following a drug lapse, and she got upset when Will refused to send her money. </p>
<p id=”par-4_61″>In last week’s episode of <em>Life After Lockup, </em>Will blew up at his wife after she ghosted him for several days. He said he was done with their marriage. Now, a frustrated Courtnee is attempting to hawk the diamond ring Will gave her. Unfortunately, the clerk at the pawn shop tells her it’s barely worth the price of a Big Mac. </p>
<p id=”par-5_39″>“We’re going to see if it’s real,” the woman says as she places the ring next to the device. “If it’s a diamond, the light’s going to blink up there. If it doesn’t do nothing, then it ain’t real.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_10″>When the clerk performs the test, there’s no blinking light. </p>
<p id=”par-7_11″>“It’s not saying diamond,” she says. “Which means, it ain’t real.” </p>

<p id=”par-8_7″>So, what is Courtnee’s faux bling worth? </p>
<p id=”par-9_12″>“I could probably sell that for $6,” the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/is-pawn-stars-fake-rick-harrison-and-the-other-history-stars-dont-even-work-the-counter-anymore.html/”>pawn shop employee</a> says. </p>
<p id=”par-10_3″>Courtnee just laughs. </p>
<p id=”par-11_6″>“Are you kidding me?” she says. </p>
<p id=”par-12_9″>“What a cheap bastard,” Courtnee says to her friend. </p>
<p id=”par-13_12″>“I am so sorry,” the friend says. “You deserve so much better.” </p>
<p id=”par-14_14″>Courtnee is stunned by the realization that Will gave her a fake wedding ring. </p>
<p id=”par-15_22″>“I feel like a fool, honestly,” Courtnee tells a producer. “Like, I should have just known better. I should have known better.” </p>
<p id=”par-16_24″>“It makes me feel like I’m not worthy almost for a real diamond,” she adds. “Like that’s kind of a slap in the face.” </p>
