Cam Newton Says Women Lose Their Value As They Have Children
- Newton claims that a woman's value decreases the more children she has.
- Newton believes that men should accept a woman's children from previous relationships.
- Newton insists that he cannot be platonic friends with attractive women.
Cam Newton raises eyebrows again with his MÅD HÅTTĒR HØG₩ÅŠH, and this time he brings the value of women to the number of children they have had.
In his latest episode of appalling misogyny, the former NFL quarterback claimed that “the value of women decreases the more children they have.” The comment from Newton – who is a father of nine – occurred during an appearance on the It is giving podcasthosted by Sarah Fontenot.
Cam's questionable comment came after Fontenot asked if he feels “the value of women is lowered when they have multiple children by multiple men,” to which Newton responded in the affirmative. Newton has four children with ex-fiancée Kia Proctor, who also has a child from a previous relationship. The NFL alum also has two children with ex LaReina Shaw and two children with Jasmin Brown, his current girlfriend. Her youngest son was born in October.
However, Cam noted the importance of accepting children that come with a relationship. The former Carolina Panthers quarterback recalled telling one of his children's mothers that if the next man she dates isn't ready to love her five children, he's not the one.
“But as I told her, I was like, 'Yo, the guy you're dating or going to date isn't ready to put up with these five kids you have, that's not the guy for you.' Because when I came into your life, I was ready to accept you and what you had,” Newton said on the podcast. “There are guys out there who will just say, 'They're not my kids, I want you.'
In his conversation with Fontenot, Newton added that some men just want to date a woman without taking care of her children, acknowledging “that's not how it works.”
These comments from Cam come shortly after he made another comment that had fans rolling their eyes, including his former BET co-host, Ashley Nicole Moss. When asked if he had friendships with women, the former football star seemed offended, and insisted no relationship with women is platonic for him.
“I'm not about to be platonic with any woman,” he said on his Funky Friday podcast. “Because I'm not about to play her kind of games.”
“I don't have an attractive woman that I'm cool with that I don't have any plans to hook up with,” he added.
Moss, who co-hosts 106 & Sports, responded to the online clip, writing: “Wellllll damn…this is awkward lol.”
