Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton sparked backlash with comments on a podcast about women's value declining as they have more children. The father of nine made the remarks during an appearance on the 'It's Giving' podcast hosted by Sarah Fontenot. He drew from personal experiences with his ex-partners.
Oh honey, Cam Newton just dropped a hot take that's got everyone clutching their pearls! 💥 On the 'It's Giving' podcast with Sarah Fontenot, the ex-NFL star, who's dad to nine kids with three different women, straight-up said, "Women's value get lower the more children that they have."
It all started when Sarah asked him, "Do you feel like women's value gets lowered when they have multiple children by multiple men?" Cam didn't hold back, spilling that he had a real talk with one of his baby mamas. He told her the next guy in her life won't be the one if he's not down to love all five of her kids. Sounds like shade aimed at his ex-fiancée Kia Proctor—she came into their relationship with a daughter from before, and they added four more together. Messy? Iconic? You decide. 😏
Cam kept it real, pointing out there are dudes out there who only want the woman, not the whole package. But he clapped back: "that ain't how it work." For the record, his nine little ones come courtesy of Kia Proctor, comedian Jasmin Brown, and ex-GF LeReina Shaw. The internet? Already dragging him for this one, calling it everything from outdated to straight-up problematic.
As a dad who's navigated this blended family life, Cam's serving opinions hotter than a Carolina Reaper. But is this wisdom or just more fuel for the fire? Spill your thoughts below—tea’s brewing! 🔥
